THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. ivi^oonsr, Tuesday Morning, April 12- ■ Editors Ploaso Notice. Mr. Editor:—As Chairman of a Committee appointed to correspond with the Superinten dents of the different Rail Roads in the State, on behalf of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion of Macon, I request you to print the follow ing, which Hiopc the papers will copy in Au gusta, Savannah, Columbus, Atlanta, Rome, Athens, and other places where there may be a Young Men's Christian Association. Notice to the Associations. The Central, the South-western, the Augusta A Savannah, the Georgia and the Western A Atlantic Rail Roads, will pass Delegates to the Young Men's Christian Convention, to be con vened in Macon, April 29th, Free, on their re. turn home, provided each Delegate presents a Card, signed by the presiding officer of the Con vention, stating tliat tho_bcarer had been in at tendance at the Convention as a Delegate, and passed over that Road and had paid full Fare going. S. BOYKIN, Chairman of Committee. The Young Men’s Christian Association of Macon, invites her Sister Associations to send a large number of Delegates. Ample provision will be made for all. State Papers iopy. Eva Lind's Pcetry was lost in its transit from the Editorial to the Compositors’ rooms. Will she be kind enough to furnish us with another copy? Plantation for Sale. h c invite attention to the valuable planta tion offered for sale in Crawford county, by "John A. Danidly, Esq. The advertisement should have appeared last week, but was omit ted by mistake. Columbia Weekly Herald. “Columbia” and Gov. Brown. Wc publish to-day a communication over the signature of Columbia, on the general and well known principle of the Telegraph, to admit the widest scope of discussion, and not because we agree with the writer at all in his main conclu sion and recommendation. So far as interest is concerned, all politicians are alike to the Tele graph. It neither asks nor expects anything from any of them. We arc a Brown man be cause we look upon him as a man of spotless in tegrity—of a high order of public and private virtue—as a man who has carried into every ex ecutive function the most scrupulous, conscien tious and unwearied devotion to the public good, and who has been, in the main, a very- successful Chief Magistrate. In these particu lars the State might not suffer by a change, but she could not be improved. We are a Brown man in the second place, be cause we believe the foregoing to be the gener al public judgment of theman. Wc believe the great mass of the voters of Georgia would and will underwrite that opinion at the polls, and therefore do not ask for, and will not permit a change. Columbia talks about “excitement and bitter opposition,’’ and, it may come, for aught wc know to the contrary, from a few discontent ed political fuglemen; but there's not enough of it to make a ripple on the great expanse of popular opinion, when it comes to the masses. Even the opposition have to dole out cau tions and deprecations to keep their rank and file from tho support of Brown. “Excitement and bitter opposition” may be heard in the Con vention from that “respcctiblc minority” Co lumbia speaks of) “who not only will not vote for him (Gov. Brown) in ar.y contingency, (whether nominated or not,] but may, the more certainly to ensure his defeat, vote with the op position !" Wc should expect excitement and bitter opposition from just such men as he de scribes—“rule or ruin,” men—who have no more business in a fair political Convention, than a party to a suit would have on his own juiy.

Col Houston, President of the Florida Cen tral andSt. Marks Rail Roads, and James T. Ar cher, Esq., of Tallahassee, in that State, were in Macon last Friday on their way, as we under stood, to negotiate for iron to complete the for mer road. The grading is now so nearly com pleted on the whole route, that it will be finish ed entirely by the earliest point of time the iron can be procured and forwarded. It is but little over three years since this young State digested and adopted her railroad system, and yet it may be confidently asserted that before the lapse of two years more, she will have three to four hun dred miles of Railroad in actual operation. About three fourths of that length of road is now gra ded, and a little short of 150 miles laid with iron. The recent U. S. Surveys of the Apalachee Bay Coast,and the discovciy ofanewand mag nificent approach to the shore, have imparted a fresh interest to the railway operations in Flor ida; demonstrating as they have done, that without the delay of a long and tedious route through barren sands to Pensacola on the West, or Tampa in the South-west, an outlet to the Gulf far surpassing cither, is offered, at a dis tance of only about twenty miles from the main line of road now under contract Wc refer to the Duer Channel, which the reader will find correctly laid down on Mr. Butt’s new map of Georgia, though he errs in rating the depth at thirty feet It is thirty-one feet to a safe an chorage within four miles of shore, in a bay ad mitting twenty-four feet depth up to a very dose proximity to a high and dry bluff on James Island, affording every facility for a shipping point It is asserted by those who have looked into the matter dearly, that no harbor on the coast South of Norfolk, Virginia, affords an equal depth of water—an easier approach, or a safer anchorage. Another view of the case which lias imparted additional interest to this discovery in connec tion with the Florida railroads, is the ease and cheapness with which it can be made accessi ble to the Georgia Rail Roads, and through them with the whole railway system of the country. Wc have seen that a branch of twen ty miles in length, connects it with tho Florida Main Trunk. Extending that branch North- wan! it reaches the Georgia line in ten miles and then about fifty miles more of road connect it with Or. Lossing's Field Book or tire Kcvo- LL’TION. Mr. A. D.

The Convention is not called with any especial reference to Gover nor Brown. None of his friends wish to place it in that position, and it is only the general opinion that lie ought to be renominated, which has given it that aspect and shaped insensibly the discussions of the public press.

It strikes us some of our Georgia cotempora ries are copying the milkmaid in the fable, in agitating the Senatorial question before the elec tion of the Legislature, which is to decide it Let us first elect a good democratic legislature and then argue the point with them—or, better still, let them wills it nli. The Telegraph has shown, in various ways, its high estimation of Col. Gardner. Wc shall be gratified with an opportunity to support him for almost any public station. Wc concur with a great deal our correspondent has said in his favor, though not with the appeal that Govcr- D?r t^conce^f to TxT' Pub lic men are not altogether their own property, —are not to be wholly controlled by their own conceptions of themselves or others. To conclude: All wc ask is a fair Convention of fair men—willing to be governed by demo cratic usages and just principles. If Governor Brown should not be the choice of such a Con vention, we will cheerfully take whoever else may be selected, unless manifestly unworthy the position. We have no doubt of the result before such a Convention, and still less, if pos sible, of the verdict of the people. Paraguay, Mexico, and Nicaragua Late accounts from Paraguay fumisbthe grat ifying intelligence that by the intervention of General Urquiza, our difficulties with Paraguay have been adjusted. The terms of the arrangement have not yet been received. The advices from Mexico are highly impor tant. General Miramon, the leader ofthe Church and military factions, has broken up his camp near Vera Cruz, and retreated towards the capital Two or three Generals of the Liberal party, with large forces, however, it was thought would intercept Miramon and prevent his reach ing the capitol. It was thought that the Liber als would be in possession of the city of Mexico in a short time. Mr. McLane, our Minister, had arrived at Vera Cruz, and was received with great rejoicings. We have no doubt that at an early day we shall hear of the complete success of Juarez, and in that event we are advised that a treaty will be made by McLane and the Liberal Gov ernment most advantageous in many respects, to the interests of this countiy. Wo have great confidence in the prudence, sagacity and expe rience of Mr. McLane, and think Mr. Buchanan fortunate in being able to secure his services in extricating us from our Mexican imbrog’jo. As we supposed, Mr. Buchanan has net the Nicaraguan troubles firmly. He has dispatch ed a special messenger with instructions t« Gen eral Lamar, our Minister, to demand a foil re paration for injuries, and an ample apdogy for insults or demand his passports. The nat ter is in good hands. General Lamar is the veiy man for prompt, decided and impressive action, notwithstanding the scandalous gossip of the correspondents ot the New York Press to the contrary. The Courts. Wilkinson Court adjourned on Wednesday morning last The litigated business was continued. The Grand Jury found a true bill against Meridith Honeycutt for Negro Stealing. Several other important bills were before the body, but we have not learned the result Wil kinson County is improving rapidly in health population, morals and intelligence. We have heard it said that the Planters of this county averaged more cotton to the hand the past year, than in any county in the State, Dougherty ex cepted. The local Bar is composed mostly of young men—but in point of legal acquirement, attention to business, and gentlemanly de portment, will compare favorably with any in our State. During the week the Sterling Democracy met -appointed Delegates to the Gubernatorial con vention, and instructed them to vote for the present incumbent, Joseph E. Brown. Dooly Court was also in session, and adjourned on Friday. The business ofthe Court was very generally disposed of, and among other cases of interest tried, was one where two of the “fair sex” were indicted for assault and battery. In many respects, we understand it was rather an unusual case. Taylor Court adjourned on Thursday till some time in May. But few cases were tried on ac count of the illness of Daniel W. Miller. On Wednesday the criminal Docket was taken up and John Bareficld was put upon trial for for gery. As this was a singular case, we give the main facts: Northern Flections. The strong, bracing North-wester of Monday has swept across the land, leaving in its coursit a perfect avalanche of Republican victories.— Connecticut is Republican all over, State Offi cers, Senate, House, and all four Congressmen—! proposes to purchase the horse.

It is not surprising that our Florida friends should feel confident of arresting public atten tion with this collocation of facts. Republican majority of nearly Ten Thousand in a mere Judicial election, with nothing at stake to call out a vote. St. Louis has given the Re publicans a larger majority than she ever be fore gave to any party, laying bare the frauds by which Francis P.

Clkavelaxd, Ohio— which very rarely votes against whatever calls itself Democracy—has swelled the chorus, the Republicans carrying all before them.

Sermous by Bishop Elliott. A friend has kindly sent us a pamphlet with the title, ,“A Busy Man’s and the Busy Wo man’s Religious Difficulties” being two Sermons preached in Savannah and New Orleans by the Right Rev. Stephen Elliott, Bishop of Georgia. Wc lrnvc read these sermons with feelings of unalloyed pleasure. They are the coinage from the brain of a great and good man who has close ly studied the vices of tho times, and in a most eloquent and scholarly style, presents to the reader the true and only corrective. Wc wish these sermous could be placed in the hands of every father and mother in the Repub lic.

Wc are bound say to that the Governor does not appear at all oppressed by tbe weight of of ficial cares and responsibilities, or barrassed by the thunder bolts of opposition from Atlanta or elsewhere. His face has not gained a wrinkle and carried just the same serene and smiling aspect as ever. Ex. Gov. Johnson was also in this city a few days last week and left on Friday for Milledgeville. Judge Love, of the Southern Circuit, spent several days in Macon last week, and was in the office on Thursday. We arc pleased to see that time deals leniently with this excellent man and functionary, and has left no marks yet. Valuable Negroes for Sale. The reader will notice among the advertise ments one of the sale of some valuable negroes of Gov. Towns’ estate, to place at the Court House in Macon on the first Tuesday in next month.

Great Fire in Netv Orleans. IMPORTANCE OF IRON COTTON TIES. Another disastrous fire occurred in New Or leans. last Thursday, by which the Lower Levee Cotton Press with ten thousand bales of mttrm. •uia tour squares adjoining the Press, and con- taming some twenty houses, were destroyed. The lass is estimated at a million of dollars. The Picayune of a few days previous, comment ing upon the destruction by fire of a large quan tity of cotton stored at the Planters' Cotton Press, presents the following forcible suggest ions which we append, upon the importance of the Iron Cotton Tie. This second and greater catastrophe imparts yet more force to the Pica yune’s recommendations, and it seems to us every cotton interest ought to unite at once in an effort to introduce the iron binding universally* Surely the Cotton Carriers, the rail road and steamboat men, would find it to their interest to make a discrimination in ikvorof iron bound cotton. The losses they annually sustain, would of themselves warrant such a discrimination. YVe Invite particular attention le-tlwsc sug gestions of the Picayune: There is no absolute necessity for the loss of cotton by fire or water. Cotton when tightly compressed in bales will not burn. The most combustible of all substances, when loose ami permeated by tho air, is the least destructible when compressed into a small, compact mass. The fire will pass over it, in this condition, like the flames over the diy prairie grass, but can not penetrate into the bale. The bagging and the loose fibres will be consumed, when the fire, if not sustained by contiguous combustible mat ter, will die out. The reason that such havoc results from fire on a cotton boat or in a cotton press. Is that the rope confining the cotton in the small com pass of a bale soon burns off when the dasti city of the cotton causes the silky product to swell into triple or quadruple of its former bulk, opening its entire mass to the air, and inviting the fire to enwrap it in its destructive embrace. Secure the bale against expansion during fire, and loss of cotton by an ordinary confla gration is prevented. This can bo done by adopt ing the iron hoop instead of rope for securing the bales. The most careful tests have been adopted to prove the security afforded by till substitute for rope. At the late Agricultural Fair in Jackson, Mississippi, a bale hooped with iron was surrounded with cord wood, and the interstices filled with straw, when the whole was ignited. The straw and wood were entire ly consumed, and the bale was only blackened on its outer surface from which the bagging had been burned. The fire went out without aid, and not five pounds of the cotton had been con sumed. If the cotton stored at the Planters’ Cotton Press had been hooped with iron instead of be ing tied with rope, the press could not have been burned: and if the combustible portion of the press had been destroyed, the cotton would have been saved. Underwriters cannot fail to see the advantage to them of substituting iron for rope ties. It is a matter of surprise that they have not taken some action to secure the general adoption of the former, after such tests as have been made of its protection to the cotton. The greater security of boats freighted with cotton, and consequently of the lives of passen gers, is a strong inducement to the steamboat interest and travelling public to encourage the use of iron rope. Experience has taught the necessity of some means to prevent the annual losses of property which wc arc called on to record, and the present is a favorable opportu nity to press the value of the iron tie. tom house marks; and the goods themselves tell it as plainly as the documents. They are far more beautiful and heavier than those ordi narily “ got up for the trade” to New Y’ork or ders, and if you put on your spectacles and test them every way, you will look in vain for the furze produced by the admixture of cotton which will be found in the vast majority of what are called linen goods. Ihesc are pure linen, and wc say without hesitation tliat it is the most licautiful stock wc ever saw. It com prises almost every style required for personal or family use. Wc were gratified, moreover, with the assurance, that they find their account, and effect a considerable saving, in the impor tation of these goods; in fact, arc so well picas- <wl watk their CApviluii'iib III lIlI*CCt tTKlC, tbit they mean to extend them to nearly cvety de partment of their business, and import nearly all goods of European manufacture. Others seeing their good works will follow their exam ple, and this is the way direct trade with Europe is gradually to be opened and established—not by conventions of lawyers, doctors and poli ticians at Montgomery and Yicksburg. So the the good work is going in Macon. We have three or four houses now which import direct from Europe, and wc hope they will be encour aged and others stimulated to follow their ex ample. It is time to begin to be self reliant and self dependent Let us have enough of such firms and we shall soon have our own trade in our own hands—to and from our own ports— in our own bottoms. Let the ladies examine the linen goods we have spoken of, and wc will tncnriHeir'disfavor', hard as it may beto bear, as well as confess to a mere puff, if they do not admit tiic truth of all wc have said respecting them. ident of the United States. His worst enemy, wc think, would expect of him an intelligent, energetic and upright administration. Tltc Gubernatorial Convention. Wc have reports up to this date, from meet ings in sixteen counties, and delegates in favor of Governor Brown’s re-nomination have been selected in all but one, Fulton, and in that, there are two sets of delegates. Tltc Supreme Court At Atlanta is in session. The Flinf Docket is up during the present week—Judge McDon ald, we sincerely regret to learn, was compelled to leave the Court on Thursday last on account of indisposition. The Court—as at present or- Canvass in Virginia. The Enquirer gives what it calls a plain, un impassioned and unvarnished account of the discussion between Letcher and Goggin, at Staunton. That paper says : The proper feeling of courtsey which pre vented Letcher from grinding hi n to powder in Rockingham no longer restrained the Dem ocratic candidate. He came down upon Gog- gin as a trip hammer would upon a hickory- nut. The discussion was like u combat be tween a quick, active, clean cut. closely trim med little red game cock, and a big, awkward, loose-jointed, short-winded, rheumatic shang hai. Well-posted, clear, logical and eloquent, Letcher’s demolition of his adversary is said to have been crushing. The mauling which he gavo to Goggin will be remembered for many a day. Every crack drew blood and made the feathers fly. Goggin took shelter behind tbe “ scrap-book,” but it did no good, for it was to dull to be used as a sword, and too ponderous, and unwieldy to be employed as a shield. Goggin was swept fore and aft by canister, grape and small shot. He was flayed, pounded, thrashed, lacerated, and pum melled to a jelly. He was ground to pieces, chopped into mince-meat, and then swallowed whole. Sorry for Goggin; bat it will relieve his anxious friends to know that though, as a plain matter of fact—“pummelled to a jelly,'” "chopped into mince-meat” and then “swallowed whole,'’ he reappeared next day as though nothing had happened, and is still in good bodily health All the pieces were saved, and he probably borrowed a bint from Jonah. Arrest of a Convicted iUurdcrcr. Wc understand that James Revel, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung, at the March Term of Crawford Court, but who escaped from Clinton jail last year, was recently arrested in Tennessee, and was carried to Mil- ledgevillc yesterday, in charge of Mr. Hancock, tlie sheriff of Crawford county. It appears that the prisoner's brother, Henry Revel, was taken up in Tennessee, on suspicion of being a free negro, and not being able to give satisfactory account of himself) was searched, and letters and papers were found in his pos session which gave the information as to the character and whereabouts of his brother James, and a party immediately started in pursuit and succeeded in making the capture. Revel will remain in jail until the next term Crawford Court, when he will be re-sen tenced. From the Wire Grass Reporter. The Lemon Cose. The celebrated Lemon case, in which a Mr. Lemon, of Virginia, was conveying his slaves from that State to Florida, and as the most con venient route, carried them to New York, to be shipped thence to their place of destination, but were arrested by abolitionists before shipment, which has been for several years pending in the Court of Appeals in-New York, has at last been disposed of As might have been expect ed, the effect of the decision is, that so soon as a slave puts his foot upon New York soil, wheth er carried their voluntarilv. or forr«l V *■-1r.-- u or weatner to take safety in one of their ports, he becomes free. We suppose this will be pocketed with the balance of the insults to the South, and no no tice taken of it, but suffered to pass and invite further and more direct agression. Yet for the soul of us wc cannot see what hinders to put a tax on some ten or twenty per cent of importa tions from New York into {he State of Georgia or any other Southern State, by way of retaliation. It would be contrary to the constitution of the United States, says one, and a violation of the national compact between the States. True, But would it be more so than the example set by New York of confiscating Southern prop erty altogether? There is an old adage, tliat if you desire success, you must fight the devil with fire, and if wc could have our wish, these gentlemen should liave fire and flame to their heart’s content Wc would in addition to the above, slap a fine of at least a thousand dollars upon cverj- New Y'ork drummer that dared to 6 ut his foot upon the soil of Georgia, and in dc- lUtt of paying it he might work it out in the Penitentiary. YVho will have spirit enough to introduce such a bill into the next Legislature ? The South has resolved and re-resolved that she would submit to these Northern agressions no fur ther. Let us now see how much sincerity there is embodied in these paper resolutions. It must lie evident to the most careless observer that the Northern people will never cease their agressions as longas the South will tamely submit to them, and that the question of right to do so must be brought to an open issue sooner or later. YVhy then postpone the issue any longer? YVhy en tail upon posperity a question which wc should determine for ourselves, and submit to present wrong rather than meet and redress it ? If tlie Southern people are prepared to submit to habit ual insult from the North, let it be proclaimed abroad, and let the world know it YVc sympathize entirely with the YY'ire Grass Reporter in the desire to see an issue made upon this system of plunder. Lemmon is a citizen of Y’irginia, and has been robbed on the high way by the State of New York. He is entitled to protection from the State of Y'irginia, and the government of that State will be deserving of no respect if she fails, when called on, to ex tend that protection. Now let tlie Governor of Y'irginia make a demand on New York for indem nity.' Failing to secure it, let him bring suit in tlie Supreme Court of the U. States, which by the terms of the Constitution is especially charged with the jurisdiction of “controversies between two or more States." If New York fails to re spond in tlie damages awarded, then let Virginia promptly make reprisals according to the laws and usages of nations, upon whatever property of tlie citizens of New York may he within her waters and jurisdiction, and let the whole South back Y’irginia in setting at naught and defiance whatever authority, Federal or State, may inter pose itself against such a proceeding. By these proceedings all Constitutional reme dies will have first been exhausted before a re sort to force, and the proceedings will be ini tiated and carried on by the right party, in the discharge of its first and plainest duty to a citizen. representing them to Hudson as the notes of the rich and responsible Planter. Hudson pre sents the notes to Slaughter Hill the cider, who denies that he ever gave them. Hudson inves tigates the matter and finds the facts substan tially as we have given them. He prosecutes Barefield for forgery under the fourteenth Sec tion of tho seventh Division of the Penal Code, which reads thus: “If any person shall de signedly, by color of any counterfeit letter or writing, made in any other person’s name, or fictitious name, obtain, Ac., with intent to de fraud, Ac.” The reader will perceive that in the case re ferred to, the wnting was not counterfeit, but genuine, and Barcficld’s offence is, that he false ly represented a genuine signature. YYhether that is forgery, or whether the indictment was properly brought under that section, is a ques tion for the Supreme Court to determine. Judge YVorrill charged the Jury and held the indict ment good, and Barefield was convicted. If he cannot be held to answer under the section a- bove quoted, it is a case for which our code does not provide. Barefield, after he had got Hud son’s horse, boasted to some of his friends that il-WM ^ "»«»♦■■■ »l«j l»u4 oLvtl A a '“11 mean one.” For the Telegraph To nun L , iu return for ionic Flowcn, I’ve a fragrant wreath, by a fair hand twined, And they tell me it came from thee— That thy fingers touch o’erits bright leaves strayed, And gave it its symmetry; That when thou had’st mingled in a form so fair, Its bods and its leaves of green— Thou didst leave in the tints of its petals bright, A smile that may yet be seen.

Macon, April, 1859. OSCEOLA. The “ Mystery” and “ Nineteenth CENTURY.” Mr. Editor:—About a week since an article appeared in tho Augusta Dispatch, on the Key and Sickles affair, headed a “Mystery.” The Editor of the Nineteenth Century—as I see in looking over his paper this morning—copied the mystery, and made some comments from which we make the following extract: “Another mystery is—why the Press—that potent agent which gives tone and character to social habits throughout the length and breadth of the land—why is it that the Press every where, whether Literary, Political, or Religious, feel it incumbent upon them to encourage, fos ter, cherish, praise, laud, magnify and strive, with all their might to introduce this viper into every family in the Union.

The Upson Pilot of last Thursday narates an attempt made tbe Friday night before to murder Dr. Shackelford of that place, as fol lows :— A negro man named Phil, the property of Thomas L. YValker (who is now absent in Texas) went to the residence of Dr. A. T. Shackelford, one of the oldest,most respectable and most inoffensive of our citizens. The night being very dark and showery, Phil after lurking around the house was discovered by the barking of the dogs, when the Dr. went out on bis portico with a lighted candle in his band. After some words, the negro informed the Dr. that his son (who was in attendance at a meeting of the Thomaston Sax Horn Band in the Court-house) wished his father to bring him an umbrella. Tho Dr. first insisted tbe negro should perform the kindness for his son, but after some evasion on the part of Phil, the Dr. started off, the negro loitering behind, or probably dogging his footsteps.—In the act of crossing a flight of steps leading into the Court house square, a pistol was fired within a few paces of the Dr. the contents fa load of large shot) lodging in the steps. In a second after, another shot was fired and a ball or buck shot, struck and penetrated the left leg of the Dr. four inches above the knee. The assassin then fled and was pursued a short distance by the Dr. Phil lied when lie told the Dr. that his son wished him to bring an umbrella to the Court-house. He is now in jail to await a rial. Actors and Actresses—describing their perform ances in such glowing terms as to turn the heads of our sons and daughters with anticipated de light, and nothing will satisfy them until they go and see for themselves. ’Tis there they be come initiated into the sublime mystery—’tis there they find tlie mystick key which unlocks the treasury of innocence and introduces that refined vice which is permitted to mingle with and corrupt to moral prostitution, every seed and germ of virtue, which has, ’till then, been cherished by tears from the heart’s fountain of a pious mother. Familiarized and daily asso ciated with these gorgeous representations of vice, by continued and repeated attendance to the Theatre, is it strange that, in due time, their sense of virtue is obtunded—their idea of moral propriety confused, and the fair temple of innocence sapped to its very foundation ? YY'e have declared war, tear, war to the death, to theatres and all kindred institutions, and never shall the lost and ruined victim rise up in testimony against us—point the finger of con demnation—pronounce the withering invective —YOU ENCOURAGED ME TO THIS!” Now, who does not feel that the above com ments are true to the letter. Man is in a great measure a creature of cir cumstance. “Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.” A child should be “ trained up in the way he should go.” The press, wc all admit, is a mighty engine, either for good or evil. YY’hat do we see! A “ Theatre,” “Circus," or “nigger band,” can not come through the city, but the press must laud it to the skies; thus creating a desire in the young to see the show. Religion for the time, at least, is forgotten. There virtue and vice mingle indiscriminately—and it is a law of nature, that the good are never made better by association with the virions YVlmt can we ex- P .o* but that the youth of our land should be contaminated ? Again, how often is it that the “show” itself is demoralizing; nay, from a necessary associa tion of ideas, tlie tendency is often the very op posite of a virtuous one. YVho docs not know that an editor will often speak as an editor, when as an individual, he would be far from endorsing even his editorials; and though he might puff a show for “fashion” sake, he would be far from permitting his wife or daughters to attend it Such things should not be. An editor ought to reflect his own views, at least iu his editorials —and as a moral and accountable being, to be careful at all times, to wield an influence for good. YYc know tliat editors, as a rule, are high- toned gentlemen—particularly in the South— yet we believe many of them wield an evil in fluence without really an intention to do so. Let the Secular press take a high stand for virtue and religion—then shall it “indeed and in truth,” be a mighty lever iu evangelizing the world. s. Imports or Dry Goods.—The imports of goods at New Y’ork, during March amounted to $10,561,960, against $5,518,445 in March of last year. The importation thus far for tbe fiscal year is ten millions ahead of last year, and ten millions behind the year before. Election for Members of Congress. Elections for Members of Congress are to be held'in the course of this year as follows : Con necticut and Rhode Island elect early in April; in Y'irginia on the fourth Tuesday of May ; on firet Monday of August in Alabama, Kentucky and Texas; on first Thursday of August in North Carolina, ou first first Monday of October in Georgia and Mississip pi ; on second Tuesday of October in Minne sota; on first Monday (7th) of October in Louisiana, and on first YYednesday (2d) of 0c tober in Maryland.

A preacher from some oth er town had been expected to hold forth in the Baptist Church, and the audience were gather ed, and the preacher arose. After announcing his text lie proceeded with his sermon, but had not gone far when he said to the astonished au dience : “1 have been instructed not to preach any thing of abolitionism or republicanism—but I must serve my Master, and I ” At this juncture Deacon Doolittle rose and said: “Hold on. It’s iny impression that you have said enough.” (Turning to the audience,) “Meeting is out” Tbe audience rose simultaneously, and, ta king their hats, went out Tlie minister-sat down. Deacon Doolittle went to the pulpit and said to him: “If you want to preach politics I have no ob jection, and my house is at your service. But this church is not the proper place, and it can not he permitted. If you desire to give a po litical sermon or speech you can do so at my house, or any other place, and I will warrant a good audience, and you shall have fair play and not he hurt But you must not attempt it in this church.” There was no more preaching in tliat church tliat afternoon. These arc the facts as related by some who were in the audience when this scene took place. Irwintox, April 5th, 1859. A meeting of the Democratic Party was cal led this day at the Court House. Rev.

Ccmmixg, Sec’y. -Look before you leap.” Ma Editor:—A private individual, and one who has never known or felt that relation dis turbed by the harrassing one of candidacy, looks upon the great Democratic ship as she is about to hoist her sails for the voyage which is soon to be made, with distrust and not a little concern. I take my view from a disinterested standpoint, and make my reckonings without “/ear or affection.” I shall not ‘feign a fancy or affect a folly," but in a plain, unvarnished way, make a few statements of facts, to which I invite the attention of all those good and true Democrats, who prefer the advancement of their political principles, to the mere exaltation to office of man. I wish it distinctly understood that I have no cause of complaint against Gov. Brown, cither as a man or as the high function ary of this great State. I xoted for him cordi ally before, and if he again comes up squarely before the people, he shall have my suffrage. He has discharged the duties of his office with fidelity and considerable ability. In liis war upon the Banks, I am charitable enough to sup pose him conscientious—yet in it there was dis played by his Excellency, more of “ zeal than judgment” In consequence ofthe inflexibility with which he pursued the Banks, the Bankites en masse will give him the “cold shoulder.” Be tween them and the Governor there is created a “great gulf,” in which there are breakers upon which the ship may founder. “Lookbefore you leap.” . The only question which seems to agitate the democratic party at this particular juncture is, “ shall Gov. Brown be the nominee of the party or not?” “To be ornot to be.” Now, here isan error, in my judgment, at the very threshold of the proceedings. The question should be— YY’hat man in the State, who, having all the ne- cessaiy qualifications, can present so clear a re cord to the party as to claim, and in all proba bility obtain, the almost ut^animovs support of the party ? Then I ask, is Gov. Brown that man ? I answer most unhesitatingly, no! I have said that Gov. Brown has arrayed against himself a respectable minority ofthe party, who will not only not vote for him in any contingency, but may the more certainly to insure his defeat, vote with the opposition. I am no champion of Banks, and in holding up Gov. Brown as their opponent, I do not do it in consequence of his private opinions upon such corporative bodies, but only because of his decided and aggressive warfare upon them, he has so far alienated himself from them, as to en gender a violent and hitter opposition to him. I do not think it the policy of the party to nom inate a man against whom there is such a deci ded and manifest opposition. Again, I hold that Gov. Brown has no claims upon tlie party to a second term of office. He was not the choice of the convention that nom inated him—but, as is well known, his nomina tion was the result of aecidenL To harmonize conflicting elements, an outsider was necessary; and as Gov. Brown was elevated to office to con ciliate discard, it is but manly that he should voluntarily withdraw from the canvass, when he sees and knows, that by his own acts, his name will be a fire-brand in the ranks. That Gov. Brown is not “the man for the times”— let the late action of the Democracy of Fulton attest And the excitement and bitter oppo sition to his nomination there, may be taken as an epitome of the whole state—as an earnest of what will be the result at the election, if the friends of Gov. Brown force him upon the party. I have thus given two reasons why Gov. Brown should not receive the nomination. One is, that he has made himself obnoxious to a respec tive minority of his party, and will fail to get their support—and the other is, that his claims upon the party are not of such force as to haz ard the success ot the election upon his nomi nation. Credit is certainly due Gov. Brown for his management of the State Road. It has, under his administration, become a paying in stitution. His appointments to office have been wise and judicious; and by his system of econ omy, and his scrutinizing superintendency, it is no longer a bane to the body politic. This has been the Governor's hobby—and his eques- tnanship has certainly been beautiful and com manding. But it should also be borne in mind, that the horse was all caparisoned and ready to he mounted, when handed over to Gov. Brown. Up to that time, what was left of the receipts of the Road from the stealings,~ was paid over to the extinguishment of the debt; and when the liabilities were cancelled, the receipts then could pass into the State Treasury. But, while we “give unto Csesar the things that are Caesar’s,” let us not withhold from another what is justly his due. I am about to present to the notice of the Democracy, a man of acknowledged ability, and who has stronger claims upon the party than any other man in its ranks. But let me, in the outset, distinctly state, that the man whose claims I am about to advocate, is not only not cognizant of my views and wishes, hut has, I am authorized to state, a- vowed a determination not to be considered a candidate before the people of Georgia, for the Gubernatorial office. Tn the last conversation I had with him, so far from expecting to be a Richmond in the field, he said he hoped, when Spring should again mantle the earth with green, to ride the ocean wave, and to realize the beauties of an Italian sunset I contend that the Democratic party is large ly indebted to Mr. James Gardner, for a long, for the Uubirnutorial robes whicb him. If the Democratic party hjj '" the ascendency, Joseph E. Bro*/* have been dotted with thepc^ ' cise of which, he has brought hi®. -., ion with a large and respectable^? fellow citizens, and which likely to produce discomfiture, feat to the party. The character of Gov. Brown leaves me to Slippy would not, of his otm free trill, tween the discharge of this oblige party to Mr. Gardner. And what L than now to pay the debt ? Theuw pie—the coffers are full—and if tb, true to itself and to honor, it will ^ a debt which in justice it must v. It is to be hoped that the party wij. the doctrine which comes from thv. j books—that “the laborer is worth; i and if worthy, worthy to them served. I have said that Mr. Gardner <fid M the office,” but that does not prerej from seeking the man. Let the party, then, in acknow] t .J what is due Mr. Gardner, unanimn.. j one voice, tender to him the nomir.i J word for it, the services which he! times, and under every vicissitude of woe,’ tendered to the party as a r-, again lie given to them as a pretty. and the fires of a bright and true p«._ illumine the pathway of the part; : ^ administration.
