The Dcmocrattc Convention
Meets to-morrow. We notice from the pro
ceedings of the meetings, and list of Dclagitos,
that many of our ablest men have been appoint

commend to our friends the advice of an old and
very distinguished statesman, who said to us
once on leaving home to attend a Convention,
** let harmony prevail; let your resolutions be
short and pointed, and your speeches brief.—
Select your candidate—return home and enter
into the contest determined to elect him. Know

poor—certainly they are wry poor. Their roads
show it—their bouses—their bridges—their

The Reporter of the 9th is burdened with the
proceedings of an opposition meeting which
seems to have inspired the worthy editor with a
degree of eloquence uncommon in dry times.—

military figures, and quotes the poets remorse-
lessly—even the hymn book, in which the
church is represented as part over Jordan and
part in the act of crossing. The Reporter would
misapply this figure, but its true use in the
book is the correct one applied to the opposi
tion. The bulk of the party is already over
Jordan, and the rest will be there by the time
the votes are counted. We see that CoL J. S.
Slaughter was at the meeting, and addressed it
in the same florid, poetical, and military style,
which infected the entire proceedings and the
comments thereon. He was full of marches and
banners, Civsars and 1‘ompeys, standards and
stars, and wound up with the linking appeal of
Marco Bozaris! What has got into LaGrange?
Perhaps they hare caught a warlike infection
from Europe—perhaps hare taken a hint from
tlie sanguinary name of their candidate for Con
gress, or perhaps Col. Slaughter himself is re-
ponsible for the gory and poetical aspect of the
records. Wc hope Gartrell will stand his ground
—study military tactics, and carry in his pock
et a dictionary of poetical quotations, with the
leaf turned down at tcar. It won’t do to be out-

fairness, the computation here, too, should be

leaves him but twenty-five days to latest date.
The critics arc too impatient. Moreover, they
are making unfavorable comparisons between

Emperor and the fiery ardor of the First Consul.

A Fortune easily made.
How time will in some cases work out a for
tune, is pleasantly narrated by Nicholas Long-
worth, widely known as the great wine grower
of Cincinnati, in a recent dinner speech to the
Cotton Exports of Savannah.
Tlie folloa-ing paragraph appeared originally,
we think, in a boiv Orleans paper, and has been
extensively copied by the interior prets of this
State:
“ Extorts from Savannah.—Savannah has this
year taken the lead, even of Charleston, in the ex
port ofcotton to Liverpool, the number of bales
sent forward from the former port being 41,010.”
This is a very great mistake, theimmber of bales
falling infinitely short of the mark. Up to the
present time Savannah has exported-to British
ports, the present season, 206 652 bales! which
shows a very material gain on the amount allowed
her in the paragraph quoted.
As the writer was comparing the exports of Savan
nah and Charleston, he doubtless designed the fig
ures to represent the cxcest of the exports of the
formerover the latter, as it is just about the amount
stated, the last Charleston report being 162,445
bales, or some forty odd thousand less than the
changed this opinion entirely—indeed, have
been assured by sagacious men, tliat this Road
can be built altogether on the market value of
the land grants to which it is entitled. This
land is, for the most part, heavily timbered with
the best pine, and is much of it now in eager
request for the supply of the lumber mills,
which have denuded all tlie timber (lands near

Important Metalixrcic.u. Discovery. —
Tungsten is a metal which has hitherto been
little studied in a practical point of view. It
appears, however, destined to operate a' com
plete revolution in the manufacture of steel. It
has been lately discovered that an alloy formed
of 80 per cent steel and 20 per cent of tung
sten possesses a degree of hardness which has
never been obtained in tlie manufacture of steel
Thc alloy works upon the latter with incredible
facility, and can even cut it Experiments have
been made with this new composition at A'icnna,
at Dresden, and at Xeustadt Encrtswaldc, and
considerable quantities of the alloy jn question
are, it is affirmed, being manufactured in tliat
part of thc world. Many old tin mines have
been bought up with a view of extracting tung
sten ore, and considerable prices have been paid
for some that have not been worked for a long
time.— Photographic Xeics.

who died some year or so ago. and speaks *.- - - - —-
gain of Mr. Miller having known who Junits
was, and that he carried the secret to his grave.
It seems that Miller was an apprentice in the
office of the London Advertiser, a paper own
ed and edited by AVoodfall. The latter was
indicted for printing and publishing treasona-
hie or libelous matter, found guilty by the jury j besides iarge quantities of biu
under instructions of the court, and the vci -1 other goods on store, the amount
diet was afterwards set aside in the King s' ‘ ’
Bench. The boy Miller was no way mixed
up with the trial, and therefore could not have
been driven from England for having put in
type any of the Junius letters, when AVood
fall afterwards printed the letters in a book.
He could uot have known the author, as the
practice with AA’oodfall was to transcribe -Ju
nius’ manuscript—not sending any of the orig
inal writing to his printers. I’erhaps. like a
thousand and one others. Miller may have
guessed at the author, but his guess was per
haps equally wide of thc true man. It is time
to challenge the story, or somebody may be
lieve it.—Spartan.
A magnificent Car.
The Machine Shop of the South-western Rail
Road, at Macon, has recently turned out the
most superb passenger car in the United States.
It made its first trip as far as Fort A’alley, on Sat
urday. the 29th ult., and wc had the pleasure,
with a number of others, of inspecting and ad
miring it. As a specimen of superior and
tasteful architecture, it reflects credit to the
South and honor to its builder, Mr. F. II. Al
ley, Master Carpenter of the South-western
Rail Road Company.

Si Ealing Slaves from Africa.—The Navy
Department have received voluminous des
patches from the cost of Africa, dated Porto
Praya, May 15. Thc Commander of thc frigate
Cumberland, gives a graphic account of thc mo
dus operandi of stealing and running of slaves,
as carried on by yachts, schooners, and regular
trading vessels. The traffic during the last year,
he says, has been greatly on tlie increase, not
withstanding thc unceasing vigilance of not on
ly the American squadron, but also of the Eng
lish and Spanish mcn-of-war in those waters.—
All kind of expedients are resorted to by per
sons engaged in the traffic to avoid detection.
He thinks that if the Department would employ
a smaller class of vessels, capable of running
into the small rivers and bays, so as to intercept
the slavers, they would be more successful in
these voyages, and the traffic would be greatly
abated.
