Will not the publication of an article from a
neighboring county', signed “A Democrat,” ex
cite the very sympathy of which ha complain*,
and so endanger the object he has in view? We
think so. The better way will be to confer
with the Democracy of the county—make a fair
and meritorious nomination, and then without
any unnecessary assault on the incumbent, rely
upon your numerical superiority, which will be
fully enlisted by the elections of this Fall, for
the success of your own nominee.

the fight, and the reports of loss vary from
three to eight thousand on the part of the French

This fact has awakened a profound sensation in

into the war, against the significant notification

Our little train, composed of this Locomotive
and one passenger car, ran up to Bamesvilie, a
distance of forty miles; during which, with the
exception of a very little heating of the crank-
axle journals, and the usual foaming of the wa

they know tliat she is built for durability.
It was a beautiful trip, and we bowled along
at varying speed, according to circumstances
and fancy of the runner, which sometimes ran
as high os forty miles an hour. The verdict
was a discharge of the Engine from the Shop to
regular service, and she is now waiting her ap

ARMORY HALL )
Savannah, Jink 20th, 1859j
At a meeting of the “Chatliaui Artilleiy,” held
this eveningat Armory Hall, tho following reso
lutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of tho “Chatham
Artillery” lie, and are hereby tendered to the
Central Rail Road & Ranking Company, for
their distinguished mark of friendship, in pla
cing at our disposal an elegant train of cars,
complete in all its appointments, anil for convey
ing us, in tho same, to and from the city of Nash
ville.
Resolved, That our tlianks are due, and they
arc hereby returned to the officers in charge of
the said train, anil to all on board engaged in
the direction and management of the same, for
their uniform courtesy and constant care.
Resolved, Tliat we sincerely appreciate the
kind reception extended to us as a Company,
by the officers and uicinliers of the “Afacon Yel-
unteers,” the “Floyd Rifles,” the “Bibb Coun
ty Cavalry,” and tlic “Artillery” corps of tho
city of Macon.
the inquisitor of their consciences,) are now
moving ever)' thing in earth, and even invoke
Heaven to prosper their unrighteous crusade
against the Constitution and laws of the land.
They are endeavoring to mislead the honest and
unsuspecting masses in reference to this matter.
In every primary assemblage of a political as
pect, where they are able to muster even a cor
poral’s guard, they have sought, and still seek,
to have their distasteful views inaugurated with
force anil efficiency. And by intrigue and per
suasion they have themselves smuggled into
the different political conventions of the South
ern States, with the clandestine object of giving
direction to their deliberations. In support of
this declaration, witness the late proceedings of
a convention holdcn at Vicksburg, Ml—a self
constituted body of men who arrogated to them
selves authority to speak the views of the sove
reign people, touching this policy of renewing
the African Slave Trade.—At the close of their
stormy and undignified session, a certain gen
tleman with much fire and more furor in his
organization—though at the same time blessed
with a due proportion of the “ suaviter in mo-
do”—I repeat, this gentleman—this “ Pasha of
several tails”—had the unblushing hardihood
to rise in his place in that body, and pledge
Georgia to his line of policy. Again: only a
short moon ago, and the Democratic Conven
tion of Texas, delegated by her people, if indeed
they were blessed with any power at all, to no-
thc Executive Chair of that State, took a vote
States cost our fathers too much of their precious
blood anil trea.-nre to be dissolved at the whim
and caprice of every sltaU beer politician.
But how inconsistent iliese men are. When
the north threatened us with the “proviso of
Wilmot,” the cry South was, hands off—let us
alone Is all we ask—we should hate our.-ilves
were we to ask more than is guaranteed to us
by the Constitution of our Confederation. Now
many of our citizens, patriotic 1 grant you, who
then hallooed more lustily than the loudest, are
willing—aye, they actually express a settled
purpose—to end the Union, if Congress should
refuse to repeal laws which it is believed the
legitimate tribunal of the land has pronounced
to be in strict accordance with the Constitution,
and the Constitutionality of which they have
heretofore believed themselves. “ Consistency
thou art a jewel,” wheresoever found.
There is yet another objection to any inter
ference with the laws of the land touching the
African Slave Trade, which in my humble opin
ion over-rides and greatly overbalances all others
of whatsoever character. I urge that Maryland
and Virginia would manumit their slaves to
morrow hut for the high and remunerative pri
ces they annually receive for the slaves they
grow for market Whenever slave labor shall
cease to be remunerative in any State where it
now exists, the statute making it legal to hold
and work slaves will be stricken from its re
cords.
Then were I never so anxious to dissolve the
Union of these States and to give the death
blow to the institution of Slavery which we all,
minato a candidate to rucairc their suffrages for trust, lore and revere, 1 would were it in my
poncr, re-open the African Slave Trade, and fill

Resolved That we will ever remember with was as appalling is it was unexpected to their; with the murky forms of the tatooed African
savage. And should it ever take place, which
may “God forefend it,” (I mean abolitionism,)
will as necessarily follow as effect follows cause
Yet I do not, mark me, charge the begetters of
this scheme with any such wish or design.
“Gate C’ity Guards’’ of Atlanta.
Resolved, That our thanks are due to the of
ficers and “Cadets” of the Georgia Military In
stitute, at Marietta, for the complimentary sa
lute with which we were greeted while passing
through tliat city.
Resolved, Tliat we sincerely appreciate, and
will ever cherish, in grateful remembrance, the
distinguished reception, the marked courtesies,

Rlncou Improvements—Brown’s
HOTEL.
Mr. Atkinson of the Augusta Dispatch, passing
through Macon, tho lGth inst, writes to his pa
per as follows:
There is a continuous march of improvement
manifest in this city. New stores and residen
tial are going up on every band; a new Cotton
warehouse has just been commenced by Mr.
Dickinson, and other important enterprises arc
on foot Brown, the enterprising proprietor of
Brown’s Hotel, intends erecting an addition to
bis house oi the same size and shape as the
present beautiful structure. This will give him
100 more rooms, and render his hotel the largest
in the South, as it is onc of the best Under
the superintendence of his son-in-law, Mr. M.
8. Peters, everything is undergoing a thorough
overhauling; at the table 1 found all the staples
of tbe country, and delirious fish, turtle soup,
and pastry and fruita in great variety. Then
the hotel is so convenient—no omnibus—no
trouble about baggage; porters are waiting
with neat labels on their hats—to take charge
of it without noise or bustle. In short, the ad
mirable depot and hotel arrangements always
put me in a good humor with Macon, and I on
ly regret tliat business calls me away so soon
on a flying “incursion” into Alabama.

Wc emphatically deny all these charges.—

Baltzell had issued a warrant for tlic arrest of
one of his associates on the Supreme Benrli,
and characterised it a “ queer proceeding.”—
Judge Baltzell admits that he issued an attach

PROM Bi-rial The Peoria Oil.) JJnion of the
filh inst. learns from Mr. R. D. Story pf Medina
township, in that county, that his daughter Eliza-
beth, a girl oi about l'J, had a veritable trance a
few days ago. The only premonitory symptom
seems to hare been, that on the previous morn-
ing she “felt like she had not slept -all night,
and yet was not conscious of haring “been a-
wake.” She was in good health and spirits through
the day, (Slst ultimo,) but retired early, and seem
ed so soundly asleep w hen her sister came to bed,
that the latter could uot wake her. In the morn-
ing she was found apparently dead. The Union
continues : In a few hours preparations were in
progress for the burial of the body, and Thursday
set for tho funeral. The neighbors were called in,
and after consultation all decided tljat it was lies:
to bury her at the time suggested, no oue consid
ering it necessary to call a physician. On Wed
nesday {evening, however, before the coffin had
been brought, while the younger brother was look-
ing on the free of his dead sister, be thought be
saw the lips move, and livid with tear ran to com
municate his suspicions to bis mother. She was
just entering the front door, receiving some friends
from Henry County, and at tho announcement ut
tered a aunt agonizing shriek of surprise. This
was instantly followed fir one from the chamber
where.Elizabeth was lying; and when the mother
and friends entered the room she was sitting on
the cooling board, as much surprised at the alarm
of her friends as they were at her sudden recove
ry from what they thought the grave. The joy
ot her friends at her recoverv can better be im
agined than described. Mr. Story is lately from
Henry County, and his statement stands indorsed
by four families residing near him. On Siturday

country to repletion with slaves, to whom we
look to produce our cotton, rice, migar, etc.
The next effect would be to increase the pro
duction of cotton, our great staple, which regu
lates tho value of every species of property—
thus lessening the demand—and it follows as a
corollary, its price. In a few short years five
cents per pound would lie the maximum price
for cotton,' foe effect of which would be to re
duce the price of a yqung heggq fellow to eight
(8) hundred dollars! Now T put the question,
would it be easier for the poor to becqmp foe
owner of a negro at eight (8) hundred dollars,
cotton selling at 6 or d cents—-than at twelve
(12) hundred dollars, our great staple selling at
11 or 12 cents, and ..every kind pf labpr being
in demand at remunerative prices?
Again, sirs:—Re-open the Mlavc Trade to
morrow if you will, and make every poor man
in the South the beneficiaries of your grace and
patriotic benevolence, aud in a short time you
would find them, where the superior advantages
which wealth has ever and will ever confer, in
the hands of the larger slave owners. Let Dr.
Lee and others palaver and splutter as they
may, they can’t get rpijml the correctness of
this proposition.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to take
from ourntidst, our long-tried and faithful friend,
Mrs. Mart B. Clavton, we deem it right and
proper tliat we should give some expression t j
our feelings on the occasion of our sad bereave
ment. For nearly eight years she liad discharged
tho arduous and responsible duties of Matron in
tills Institution. During that time she notonlv
gained the confidence of all by the efficiency
and ability with which she tiffed her station,
but she likewise -won our highest esteem and
love by'those qualities which adorn the sin- believed by many, notwithstas^

God’s ways are inscrutable. I11 the prime of
life, while yet in tlic midst of activity and use
fulness, she was suddenly called away.
She is gone. We are left to lament the los
of one who was an untiring friend in sicknc*
and in health. But we sorrow not as those who
