Dentil of Peter Stubbs, Esq.
1 »ur community has sustained a heavy loss in
the death of Peter Stubbs, Esq., widely known
as a leading member of the Macon Bar. He
died on Wednesday night of Typhoid Dysen
tery alter an illness of about a week, which
seems to liave excited no serious apprehensions
among his friends generally; and the news of
his death came upon us therefore in the shape
of a most melancholy and saddening surprise.
He was buried, on Friday, from the Methodist
Episcopal Church, where a vast concourse of
sorrowing fellow citizens assembled to do honor
to Ids memory. The Macon A olunteers, of
which deceased was a veteran and honorary
member, escorted the funeral cortege. The
Masons and Odd Fellows also united in the cer
emonies, and the business establishments of the
lop ii were closed during the obsequies. The
B«r and tho Volunteers have passed appropri
ate resolutions upon the melancholy event,
which arc published in another place.
IVler Stubbs was literally the architect of his
own fortune. Starting from a very humble
sphere in life, his professional knowledge was
acquired amid difficulties and embarrassments
of all kinds, which would have discouraged
most men. Habits of close and patient study
and investigation—of great care and method in
the preparation of his cases—of promptitude,
and accuracy and fidelity in the discharge of
all fiduciary obligations, followed him into his
practice and soon won him an unusual degree .
of public confidence. To all these, and in fact Foreigners, and “The Temporal Supremacy of
idenced by them, he added a large fund of the Pope,” but on every hand, and in the mouths

Thc Third District—Good News—
AN APPEAL TO OLD DEMOCRATS.
Our advices from Upson, Talbot, Houston,
Spalding and Taylor are highly encouraging
and we believe that Mr. Speer can and will be
elected, if harmony and concert of action can
effect this most desirable result AYe have good
reasons for saying that the Democratic party in
this District was never more hopeful or confi
dent of success.
The recent victories achieved in Alabama and
Kentucky have inspired our friends with cour
age, while the disasters of the Opposition con
federates have weakened the faith and dampen
ed the ardor of all who have ranged themselves
on the line of antagonism to Democratic prin
ciples.
That the defeat of Mr. Judge and the rout
in Kentucky have created a panic in the ranks
of our opponents no one will deny who reads
the papers or keeps up with the current events
of the day. All the appliances of party tactics
were brought to bear in favor of Mr. Judge
and without success. Tho women crowned him
with garlands; he was followed by a clamorous
crowd with banners and music. His efforts
were extolled, his praises were sung in sublime
doggerel, money was spent free as water, and
last but not least, Mr. B. II. Hill, of Troup,
better known as a candidate for Governor of
Georgia two years since, was induced to speak
in Montgomery on Saturday previous to the
election day. But the smiles of women—the
fascinations of music and eloquence—the all
prevailing influence of money, and the \teak
distillations of party clap-trap appeals did not
avail .Mr. Judge. The purity and patriotism
of the Democracy of Alabama were stronger
than all the fusion of malign elements, and Mr.
Judge was ingloriously defeated, and Mr. Clop-
ton gloriously triumphant The result of this
Alabama contest is a hard blow to the Oppo
sition in the Third District—they feel that this
is but the foretaste of more bitter potations,
and the hand writing on the wall, which speaks
in language not to be misunderstood, the early
and irrevocable doom to which the Great Amer
ican party is rapidly and surely hastening.

The “crashing bugle blast” referred to is
letter from Hon. B. II. Hill to CoL Geo. M. Dud
ley, of Americas, Ga., the point of which is
proposition to throw party platforms to the dogs
‘ and all unite on the Dred Scott decision as the
law. Upon thus proposition, Mr. Hill makes
personal appeal to Gov. Brown to “reconsider,
repudiate or at least leave in abeyance a mere
party nomination, and take this position, ’ un
der promise of Mr. Hill's “humble support. —
It will be seen, therefore, that the valiant knight
of the American has mistaken a proposition for
surrender, or compromise, or accommodation,
for a “crashing bugle blast” “calling to battle."
He is cither so deafened by the roar and blind
cd by the smoke of his own artillery, as not to
hear the word of command or see the flag of
truce borne by his “intrepid leader,” or, per
haps, understanding him a good deal better
than we do, knows that his call for a suspension
of hostilities is only an artful piece of tactics
intended solely to delude the enemy and get a
vantage ground in the fighL Upon no other
supposition can wc account for this authorita
tive interpretation of a proposal to support Gov.
Brown into a “crashing bugle blast” summons
from the “intrepid leader” of the “Opposition”
to renew the fight against hint. The American
no doubt understood his “intrepid leader” and
knew the amount of sincerity in his proposition
for an armistice. If that is not the case, pray
tell us how the mistake originated ?
But to the proposition; this union on the
Tired Scoff decision, which is Mr. Hill's pana
cea for all our woes: Pray, where did the Dred
Scott decision come from which Mr. Hill says
Is law and right and safety ? The answer is
plain enough—from the Democratic party. It
owes its existence to Democratic expounders of
constitutional law, and whatever other political

party is disbanded and dead. Our cars are no

good practical common sense, shrewdness, and
knowledge of men, which made him a very sue-
cess ful practitioner. He rose rapidly in public
estimation—he won the entire confidence of all
his numerous clients—his personal popularity
as attested in several elections was hardly sur
passed in the county—he amassed a handsome
pecuniary competence, and at the time of his
death, no man in the community enjoyed in a
higher degree the respect and confidence of his
fellow- citizens. None could have been removed
from among us, probably, whoso loas would be
more deeply felt His life affords a strong il
lustration to our young men of the power of
steady and earnest application to duty—of the
value of integrity, energy, frugality, prompti

250,000 Acres Florida land for sale.
The reader is referred to an advertisement
of Florida Rail Road Lands, the character and
locality of which are familiar to us. There is
hardly a dry acre in the lot which will not be
found at least as productive as the Cotton lands
of Southwestern Georgia, but can be had, we
suppose* for about one-fifth the price. The
Sea Island Cotton grows luxuriantly on «his
land, and we recollect of seeing, about four
years ago, a stalk (brag one, of course) which
measured eighteen feet in heighth and bore an
enormous number of bolls and blooms, which
we will not risk our reputation for veracity by
stating. An Irish gardener of Gov. Brown’s,
(while his Excellency was kindly acting as
amanuensis in the matter of a letter to Pat s
brother in Ireland, whom it was sought to per
suade to come over to this countiy) directed
him to state, among other inducements, that
“ mate was to be hsd three times the week.
“But you have meat three times arfay," says the
Governor. “An, faith, will he belavc the like
of that if I tell him?” says Pat. And it is not
worth while to tell how, in the long seasons of
low latitudes, even on land of moderate fer
tility, Cotton will take a gigantic development
unknown in the more northerly portions of the
Cotton belt. This land, too, is admirably pro
ductive of Sugar cane. In corn its yield is
generally below the average with us. The
Florida rail roads arc now opening up chances
for profitable operations in land similar to those
which occurred during the past ten or fifteen
years in Georgia.

illustrated scries of Cooper’s novels, published
by AVm. A. Townsend & Co., 4G AValkcr St.

familiar to the reader. The illustrations are
in Darley’s best style. Tho binding and typ
ography of the work arc beautiful. AVe par
ticularly commend this series of Cooper’s works
to every one making up a Library. It is not
onlv the best uniform edition of this standard
American author, but the best edition we have
seen of any novelist, cither American or Eu
ropean. Tho volumes are "all of convenient

and substantial, and letter press of good size
and unexceptionable clearness, AVe refer the

Commencement at Athens.
From all accounts the commencement last
week at Athens was more numerously attend

other distinguished persons were present.
The Paragon Gas Light.
Refer for a more particular description to the
advertisement AVc have had one of them in
use for some time, and think it the best of spir
it < Sas I .amps. It bums with a large, brilliant
bat-wing flame, the size of which can be increas
ed or diminished at pleasure, by a moveable
slide on the tube. It can be burned all night
as a watch-lamp with economy, or made to pro
duce a flame larger and more brilliant than the
ordinary coal-gas. A reasonable fear exists
w ith a good many of danger from burning-fluid,
so many explosions occur from a stupid persist
ence in attempts to fill lamps while burning.—
But for our part, we find them so convenient,
■o efficient, that we should be lost without
them. The Spirit Gas atfords a light much
more pleasant and healthful to the eye than coal
gas.
racy—the traitor Douglas—extravagance of the
Administration, and other like polite epithets.
These arc now the issues, but they forget that
in gaining here and there a discontented Demo
crat on the new but rickety platform, many
honest and deluded Democrats, who in an evil
hour were seduced from their old party alle
giance by the glittering generalities of the
Know Nothing organization, will eagerly em
brace this opportunity to return to their first
love. There are hundreds of true Democrats,
honest and faithful, and true of heart, in this
District, and we exhort them now that the
American party is disbanded—now that its pe
culiar tenets have all been ignorSi—now that
all principles and platforms have been abandon
ed but opposition to Joe Brown and the Democ
racy—now that they are absolved from all al
legiance to the American party, to join with
their ancient friends—to renew the pleasant as
sociations of the past and to return to the fold
from which they were seduced by the arts and
devices of the enemy. Come with us, Brother
Democrats—you shall be welcomed with shouts
of joy—the fatted calf shall be killed—the high
seat at the feast shall be yours, and when the
day of triumph shall corneas it surely will, you
shall receive the plaudit of well done, good and
faithful servant
sented on the Supremo Bench did not concur in
the decision. The principles of that decision,
harmonious as they are with the provisions of
the constitution, were evolved mainly through
the instrumentality of the Democratic party,
against the opposition of a motley horde
broaching and maintaining every shade of an
tagonism—every opposing doctrine of plenary
or limited Federal authority to put the slave
owner under ban.
And how is the Dred Scott decision to be
maintained and public safety secured? Mr.
Hill proposes a union in Georgia upon it—
Where is the division ? Georgia was all right
on the subject long before Mr. Hill spoke, and
Georgia and Mr. Hill can do a great deal, but
unfortunately not all that is necessary to b c
done. Mr. Hill, however, sees great danger in
Douglas. Sharp sighted, as “intrepid,” lie
overlooks all the Anaks of the opposition—the
Sewards, Greelcys, and AVilsons with their mil
lions of followers, and their banners inscribed
death to the Dred Scott decision—the Court
mast be revolutionized—a war of extermination
against Slavery; we say the keen-eyed “lead
er” overlooks this mighty host ami sees danger
only in a perversion or misrepresentation by
Douglas! Not one word has he against danger
from the Black Republican “opposition” which
Is rampant in almost every Northern State, but
he fairly quakes in fear of little Douglas' and
Illinois’ misrepresentation! Now we are bound
in courtesy to concede the sincerity of Mr II.’s
fears, but wc may admire that stupendous, im
penetrable bigotry which will shut a man’s eyes
to the sun t'.iat he may blink through a knot
hofix
from leading Northern papers, which indicate
an awakened and growing perplexity among
intelligent minds in that quarter over the con
dition and prospects of the free colored popu
lation. To these we add below another from
the Philadelphia North American, the Palinu-
ms of the Black Republican party in Penn
sylvania. AVhen Cuffy’s particular champions
are forced by facts to acknowledge that the
“free negro cannot find a congenial home in
the United States”—that under the most “lib
eral institutions”—with the benefit of all abo
lition “sympathy, encouragement and patron
age”—and-with a steady demand for their
labor—the free blacks iu the North are living
in “universal degradation,” “idleness and
wretchedness”—“ that they cannot become
useful citizens,” and must be removed to Li
beria or “some other tropical region"—we say,
when Cuffy’s Champions themselves discover
and acknowledge these facts, they will surely
cease to tell us “emancipate your slaves and
swell the volume of this idleness, wretched
ness and universal degradation.” AVell, then,
let us stick a pin here. Black Republicanism
is by so much wiser than it was. It is con
fessed that the negro race cannot thrive in a
condition of civil equality and social competi
tion with the whites, but must inevitably sink
into degradation and wretchedness.
AA’hat’a the remedy ? Send them back to
Africa, says the Black Republican. And why?
To remove them from a vain and hopeless com
petition with a superior race, and put them
side by side with beiugs of their own level.
But would Cuffy be improved by the change?
Is the North American blind or bold enough
to say that the most degraded free negro of
Pennsylvania, is not, after all. an improvement
on the native stock ? And if he could not be
stimulated to provident industry by the exam
ple of laborious whites around him, arc better
things to bc hoped for, when deprived of all
influence, precept, sympathy and patronage
of the whites, you turn him loose among be
ings worse than himself ? No such supposition
can be entertained, and therefore the plan of
Cuffy’s friends is simply to be rid of him at
his own cost. The de'il take him so he leaves
the country.
Abolitiondom has been a good deal to the
Confessional, of late. Deny it who will, the
leading organs of the heresy in this country
and in Europe, have substantially acknowl
edged that there is no possible or practical so
lution of a harmonious and prosperous co-ex
istence of the white and black races, except
that which is found in the Southern States—
that emancipation has proved no blessing but
a curse to the blacks, and renders even the
few which are found in the Northern States
burden to themselves and society—while
common sense teaches and experience shows,
that colonization is simply returning them to
native barbarism. Thus the question of do
mestic servitude, as it exists in the United
States, so far as the blacks arc concerned, is
simply a question whether the negro shall be
of development which the restrictions imposed
by the laws forbade him to enjoy. But the
perplexing problem, which wc in the United
States.musc bring to a practical solution, is,
what 13 to be done for a race which, in the
absence of prohibitory laws, can make no head
way whatever for itself; or, at least, none iu
the presence of a race of superior intellectual
force and energy ? AA e see new communities
springing up, and absolutely prohibiting the
residence of a class marked by peculiar phy
sical and moral characteristics, among them,
on the conviction that its members must be a
burthen on their resources. AVe see th6 same
class at our own doors, as a body, daily be
coming more helpless. Of all questions, none
deservQs more to be well pondered than that
which relates to the disposition to be made of
the negroes of this American continent. Let
not a hasty judgment pronounce the case ut
terly hopeless; nor, on the other hand, let
false theories respecting the equal, intellectual,
and moral forco of the races, deceive into a
mistaken and injurious policy.
A Story on <<Ransc.”
Our lively friend, “Ranse AVright,” whose
attachment to the Georgia Telegraph is a mat
ter of some notoriety, in these parts, is a can
didate for Congress in the 8th district. An
Augusta correspondent of the Savannah News
commenting upon the fact, and upon Ranse’s
ability at story telling, illustrates the latter as
follows:
It seems that during Air. Stephens’ last can
vass in this district, lie was met at some point
by Col. AVright. The Colonel, as most of our
readers know, is considered n first-rate stump
speaker, and almost unequalled as a raconteur
of anecdotes. He told a great number of the
latter, and the mirth aud laughter of the crowd
were furious. Among other things, he stated
to the highly delighted audience that he under
stood that Air. Stephens had said that “ he
could cat Ranse AVright for breakfast, Bobb
Trippe for dinner, and top off with Ben Hill
for supper.” Mr. Stephens being a small man
for his age, and possessed of limited “stowage
room,” this story of course raised a yell.
Shortly after “little Aleck" rose to reply.
He declared that he had never made such a
remark as had been attributed to him by his
opponent. “But,”said he, “fellow citizens,
if I bad contemplated any such meal, I should
certainly have reversed the order. I should
have taken Ben Hill for breakfast, Bob Trippe
for dinner, and, remembering the advice of
my mother, always to take a light supper, I
should have closed up with my friend, Colonel
AVright.” It is said that from this time for
ward the laugh was on the other side.
The Story of a Flag: aud Caunou.
Upon the opening of the Canvass in Alaba
ma, Jonse Hooper aud Coyne of the Montgo
mery Mail jointly invested several shillings in
purchasing a “Cut” of a Flag and Booming
Cannon, wherewith to preface exultingly their
accounts of confidently anticipated “Opposi
tion A’ictories.” Unhappily, however, when
the figures camo along, they did not correspond
with the Cannon and Flag. In point of fact,
a death’s head and hour-glass—Old Time with
his scythe—a sable hearse, or a coffin—would
have more appropriately emblemized the char
acter of these election returns to the new
“Opposition” organization; showing, as they
did, uumistakeably, the cutting down of tbc
political flower in the very bud—the suddeu

As the Dred Scott decision is substantially
the offspring of the Democratic party, we pre
sume the Governor and the party will alike
concur in the belief that it can best take care
of its own bantling. Air. Hill may bc uncasy
for its fate and it may be in danger, but if he
will only keep off the “combined opposition,'"
there is not a democrat who will not be respon
sible for the integrity of the Dred Scott decision
to tbc end of time. It is to be maintained, not
by coalition with its swom foes—not by tempo
rizing, bargaining and intriguing—not by any
political rUSeS Or factious shifts and devices—
but by a steady adherence to its friends—and a
firm opposition to 'its foes. It Ls to bc main
tained by consolidating in the Democratic party
of the country a strength sufficient to enforce
the operation of its principles, against all oppo
sition of false friends or open foes.
A Strong Case.
AVe learn from the Montgomery Mail that
the “Opposition” in that city dosed the labors
of the canvass with a speech from the Georgia
champion—Ben II. Hill—delivered on Saturday
night before a “vast crowd." The Mail is lost
in admiration of Mr. Hill’s abilities—says he is
a “great orator”—held his audience entranced
—spell bound—dissected and demolished the
democracy entirely into several small pieces
and thoroughly exposed its “rottenness.” But
the melancholy sequel is that Monday’s sun
dawned on the mass of “rottenness,” yclept the
democratic party, a seried host in burnished
armor bright, and dewy eve saw them exultant
victors. If the democracy can effect that much
in so advanced a stage of decomposition as they
are represented to be, what might they not do
if “sound” in wind and limb ! Or, to put the
question in a different form,—if “rottenness’
goes into a fight and comes out victor, what may
be predicated of the state and condition of the
vanquished?
A Bold Imitation.
The New York Herald says that, fired by the
example of the French Emperor’s Zouavas and
Turcos, orders have been Issued by the British
Government for the importation of 3000 Jamai
ca negroes to be enlisted in the British service
and uniformed and drilled a la Zouave! That’s
bold imitation of French tactics which ought
to put Napoleon all in a tremble. Ki! won’t
massa Louis have to look out, when Jamaica
Sambo gets his red coat on?
Independents.
Mr. AViliiam M. Potter, of Early county,
announces himself a candidate for Congress in
the 2d District. AVe understand Air. P. puts
himself on the extreme and nltra positions asj
snmed by Mr. Pugh, and other Alabama poli
ticians.
Mr. Crawford is the regular Democratic
candidate, and in our opinion, is as sound
any Southern Representative need be, and we
have no doubt he will be elected by an incrcas
ed majority.
University or Georgia.
Burke, of the Savannah News, has been at
tending Commencement Exercises at Athens,
and, wc are sorry to say, gives a bad account
of the boys, lie says:
“ I should like to be able to speak well of the
exercises, but candor compels me to say that I
never attended so poor and unsatisfactory an
exhibition I do not speak in a spirit of cap
tious criticism, but from honest convictions, and
I but express the opinion of a large majority of
the audience. Either the young men hare been
badly taught, or else they have profited but
little by the instructions of tbeir teachers. Be
yond all question the best performance of the
day was that of Clarke, of Atlanta, and wc shall
be greatly disappointed if he docs not get the

mittee, we should find it a very difficult matter
to determine where to bestow the other one."

Ellis was induced to reprieve him for twelve

Though only so much of the foregoing is
true as states that Cobb was bung, it is pretty
well for the N. Y. Tribune. Cobb suffered
death as accessaiy to a most atrocious murder

Untimely Weather.
We are getting, in this vicinity, a quantity
of rain, which bodes no good to the crops.—
Saturday, Sunday and Monday were very wet
days and nights, and at present writing there

Alabama Election.
In Alabama, Hon. A. B. Aloore, (Dem.j the
present Governor of the State, has been reelect
ed. The following Congressmen are also
elected:
First District—James A. Stallworth.
Second District—James L. Pugh.
Third District—David Clopton.
Fourth District—Sydenham Moore.
Sixth District—AV. R. AV. Cobb.
Seventh District—J. L. AI. Curry.
These are all Democrats and with the ex
ception of Messrs. Pugh and Clopton, were
members of the previous Congress. In the
fourth and seventh districts there was no oppo
sition to tiie Democratic candidates, we believe.
From the fifth District we have no returns yet;
but presume that Geo. ,T. Houston (Dcm.) is
re-elected.
The State Legislature is of course, largely
Democratic.
Missouri Election.
The following dispatch contains all the in
formation wo have of the election in Alissouri:
St. Lons, Aug. 3d.—At the election in this
city yesterday, the Democrats elected one mem
ber of the Legislature, two County Commis
sioners, and one Clerk. The Republicans have
probably elected the balance of their candidates.
The Sunday Reform measures were carried by
a large majority.
Presidency or the Main Trunk.
By the death of Dr. Screven, the Presidency
of tho Main Trunk Railroad is vacant, and we
understand that our fellow-citizen. Dr. Robert
Collins has been strongly urged to accept the
place. AVe do not know whether Dr. Collins
desires the position or not, but we are very
sure no better selection could be made. His
intelligence, energy, and experience in rail
roads, would naturally indicate him as the man
above all others for this important and honor
able public station.
Elections
Augusta, Aug. 7.—The following are the
election returns as far os heard from:
Tennessee—In 2C counties the Opposition
have gained 1, and probably 3 Congressmen.
Kentuckt—The returns indicate the elec

9th District—both Opposition.

OUR FREE COLORED POPULATION.
If there is any one fact established by stca
dily accumulating evidence, it is that the free
negro cannot find a congenial home in the
United States. He is an exotic amongst us;
and all the efforts of philanthropists to natu
ralize him on American soil, and under Amer
ican skies have failed. AVe know that it is
common to attribute this failure to the preju
dice of the whites, which defeats all the at
tempts made to improve radically and perma
nently the condition of the blacks; but after
allowing to this canse all the influence which
it deserves, it must be admitted that it does
not explain the almost universal degradation
of the colored population in the free States,
and we mast look beyond prejudice and social
ostracism, and the unequal legislation which
may be supposed to flow from these, for some
deeper explanation—one which we believe is
to be found in the constitution of tbc negro
himself.
It is a grest mistake to suppose that the
mere circumstance of removing the political
disabilities, under which any particular class
may happen to labor is sufficient, of itself, to
alter and improve their condition. The most
that liberal institutions and laws can do, is to
leave men free to the exercise and development
of their faculties in general; and according to
the nature of these faculties, and the innate
qualities of the soul, will be the state of the
man and of society resulting. Now, so far
as the colored population of most of the free
States are concerned, there are no laws that
trammel their faculties or limit the sphere of
their industry. They arc at liberty to pursue
mut oniiings, and to accumulate property.
The laws extend protection to the person and
property of the colored man, as they do to the
white. And to prove this, if proof were needed,
it would be easy to mention the names of a few
persons belonging to this class who have grown
rich by honest industry. And iu the face of
such a state of things, when we find the great
balk of our colored population, ninety-nine in
a hundred, making a precarious livelihood by
contentedly performing the most menial offices
or living in idleness and wretchedness, we can
hardly fail to attribute it to characteristics of
their own. It cannot bc doubted that enough
sympathy is felt for our colored people to fur
nish them with encouragement and patronage
if they had the enterprise to become good me
chanics and laborers, and the energy to com
pete with the white laborer. And besides, in
the North, there is usually such demand for
labor as to absorb the supply, and no well
qualified workmen, unless iu periods of depres
sion, need fear to be unemployed. But we see
the blacks daily driven from avocations once
deemed almost exclusively their own. It is
long-since they flourished in any of the trades,
if they ever pursued them with success. AVith-
in a few years they have eeased to be hackney
coachmen and draymen; and they arc now al
most displaced as stevedores. They arc rap
idly losing their places as barbers and servants.
Ten families employ white servants now, where
one did twenty years ago. Whatever explan
ation may bc given of these facts, the facts
themselves cannot be denied; and what is to
be done with our colored population, unless
they can be induced to return ns colonists to
the native land of their race, or seek some oth
er tropical region, baffics the wisest of ns to
say.
AVe are led to these remarks by
on the great reluctance displayed by the peo
ple of the new States to have free negroes set
tle amongst them. There is something more
in this than mere prejudice or jealousy. It is
exhibited in places where the political senti
ments of the people are a3 diverse as in Kan.
sas, Oregon, and Iowa. It seems as if it were
to become a rule, in framing a constitution for
a new State to prohibit the residence of free
negroes. Iu the case of a slave State it is not
difficult to understand this. The presence of
the free negro is disadvantageous to tbc slave.
And besides, the policy of the slave States is
to discourage manumission, which draws from
the resources of the State by diminishing the
number of laborers. But in a free State,
where emigration is invited by holding out
every inducement to the inhabitants of the old
States, and to foreigners, this aversion to the
ilain-
most
universally, that they cannot become useful
citizens of the United States; or in other words,
that they cannot compete, on equal terms, with
the white races.
This opinion is undoubtedly founded on ob
servation. It has come to prevail in the free
States, in spite of theories—we bad almost
said in defiance of the wishes of good men
everywhere. And it is of tho utmost impor
tance, that this truth should bo fully recog
nized by humane and philanthropic men. A\ r e
believe that all labors directed to the promo
tion of the welfare of the free colored man, as
well as the slave population of this country,
will miserably fail, unless the truth is borne in
mind. AVe applaud, to tho echo, this move
ment made in Russia by the Czar, to enfran
chise the peasant, and raise the serf to the
dignity of a free man; and this, because there Congress, and his election is indicated by re-
is no natural difference between the Russian ■ turns from other places.

of Brewer's success in Coosa, for the Senate,
over Garrett, ex-Secretary. not as for a pol

better Democrat of the two. But Brewer is
an intelligent, independent, poor young man,
who has dared to appeal to the people from
caucus dictation; and he has succeeded against
all the powerful influences which the rich, aris
tocratic and powerful could bring to bear.
Hurra, then, for Brewer !

“Thp Columbus Times indulges in a most
severe attack upon Boughton, of the Federal

The above is an unintentional misrepresenta
tion from the Augusta Dispatch.
The Editors of the Times have never attack
ed Messrs. Boughton, Clisby, and Gaskill—
These gentlemen have strong claims to their re
spect and none are nioro highly esteemed. A
communication from a highly respectable source
was published in the Tunes, while we were ab

made in a following issue of the Tunes. If the
Dispatch docs not wish to place us in a false

AV here to Plant Peach Trees.—Those in
tending to plant peach orchards would do well
to consider the following before determining
upon location;
After several years experience and close ob
servation, the writer has found that those peach
orchards planted upon an elevation having a
height greater than the surrounding lands, pro
duce a crop of fruit each year; whilst those
ilanted in ravines, or depressions, or on level
and, usually fail, at least two years out of
three.
The cause of this difference in fruiting, I
think, is this: upon elevated locations the
winds are more constantly in action than in de
pressions and on level lands, and in conse
quence, evaporation is carried on more rapidly,
drying up tho humidity or moisture on the buds
that may have collected there. Therefore, the
frost docs not penetrate the vital part of the
bud or bloom. On the other hand, if water re
mains upon the buds, it congeals by only an or
dinary frost—thus killing the fruit!
Some writers, I see, are recommending the
planting of peach orchards on land closely and
densely surrounded by heavy forest trees; my
observation would dictate the reverse. The
day previous to the severe frost of the 22nd of
April, 1859, there was quite a quantity of rain
fell in tho morning; about twelve o’clock the
wind commenced blowing quite severely, and
continued until evening; upon land where it
had free access among the boughs, the orchards
bid fair to yield an ordinary crop; but in other
localities, where the wind was obstructed in its
motion by adjacent forests or hills, and the
water left upon the buds, the crop is almost an
entire failure.
The Revenges of Napoleon III.
An editorial signed “C." in the Boston Trav
eller, concludes:
“Napoleon, by the actual aid of Great Brit
ain, lias balanced the Ihi-.-iau mh-c—. of Mos
cow by the reduction of Sebastopol. He has.
with the passive countenance of Great Britain
balanced the Austrian occupation of Paris by
the victory of Solfcriuo. The debt to Prussia
remains to be paid off; but above all that to
Great Britain. Trafalgar and AVatcrloo are
memories of rage and shame in the hearts of
all Frenchmen, and especially of all Bona-
partes. And, ifin this respect, the turn of
Great Britain is to come, she will have herself
to thank, for tiie present powerful and proud
position of Louis Napoleon is her work quite
as much .03 that of his own genius. Certain
wo may be, that of this great drama of the
Second Empire, the fonrth and fifth and great
est of its acts are yet to come."-
For the Georgia Telegraph.
Judge Iverson’s Speech at Griliiu
In a former number, we applied our brush
and presented a rough picture of this Speech;
but wc should regard our task as unfinished if
we did not criticize other portions of this singu
lar production. It cannot be disguised that the
great effort of the speaker, throughout this long
and labored speech, is to persuade his constitu
ents that the National Democratic party has
failed to give adequate protection to the institu
tion of slavery—that, in truth, it is an organi
zation hostile to this great Southern interest,
inasmuch as it "refuses to disband and permit
all other parties to unite the South upon a pure
ly defensive sectional issue—that it is a union
party, and so long as it exists as a national po
litical organization, it will constitute an insup
erable barrier to a dissolution of the Union.
These are the conclusions fairly dcducible from
his speech, although not openly avowed, and
they constitute the theory taught by all the ex
tremists and ultraists of the South. Judge Iv
erson reviews the legislation of Congress for the
purpose of establishing these positions; and ar
rays before a Southern auditory every measure
hostile to slavery which the North has ever urg
ed upon Congress. lie commences with the
Missouri restriction of 1820, and traces the pro
gress of anti-slavery hostility to the South, down
to the present time; and labors to make us be
lieve that during all this time the constitutional
rights of the South have not been respected by
the Federal Government—that the institution
of slavery has grown weaker every year, ar.d is
now in imminent danger of being utterly over
thrown by the abolition sentiment of tiio North.
Now no one denies that since 1820 (and long
before that time), there has been a strong anti
slavery party at the North ; but of whom was
and Ls this party composed ? Undeniably of old
federalists and whigs—with only here and there
a national democrat in their ranks. No one
knows better than Mr. Iverson that the nation
al democracy, in the Free States of the North
and AVcst, have uniformly recognized to the
fullest extent, the rights of the Southern slave
holder; and upon the sectional issue of slavery,
have declared by their national platforms of
1852 and 1856, “ that Congress have no power
under the Constitution to interfere with or con
trol the domestic institutions of the several
States.” In the platform of 1856, “non-inter
ference by Congress tcilh slavery in State and
Territory and in tiie District of Columbia," is
expressly laid down as therDemocratic doctrine
on the subject of slavery. On the passage of
the Kansas bill, were there not forty-four dem
ocrats in the House, and a majority of Northern
democratic Senators from the Free States, who
stood up to this platform, and voted for the Lc-
compton Constitution, with its slavery clause ?
Instead of doing justice, then, to the conserva
tive spirit of the Northern Democracy, Judge
Iverson studiously conceals these facts, and tells
us in his speech, that “ there are a few sound
and true Northern men, still lingering in the
Senate; nearly every vestige of sound Northern
conservatism in the other House, has already
been extinguished,” &c. Here is a disingenu
ous attempt to make the impression that the
National Democracy are powerless in the House,
and in four years more, he says, “the Aboli
tionists will |havc the control of the Senate.”
Now is this true—is it true that there is a ma
jority of abolitionists returned to the next House
of Representatives, as Judge Iverson would
have us believe? AA'hat is an abolitionist?—
AVhy, in the common acceptation of the term,
an abolitionist is one who is in favor of abol
ishing slavery in the Slates and everywhere j
else—a free soiler is one who is opposed to the
extension of slavery to territory now free.'
Now no one knows better than Judge Iverson
that not a single member, perhaps, returned
from the free States to the next Congress would
dare interfere with slavery as it exists m the
States, and yet in this speech he artfully em
ploys language calculated to make that impres
sion on the minds of his hearers. AA’hy did
he not tell his listeners that while the free
States had returned a majority of free soilers to
the next Congress there would be a majority of
| conservatives in that body ? Simply because
the truth would not have answered the purpose
of the speaker—which was to excite apprehen
sion in the minds of the Southern people for
the safety of slave property in the States.
AA’hat authority has Judge Iverson for posi
tively declaring that “four years more will give
the abolitionists the control of the Senate ?”—
Does he mean to say that Oregon, Minnesota,
and Kansas will send, or have sent, abolitionists
to the Senate and thus array the Senate against
the South ? If he does he is guilty of a sup-
pressio veri, for he knows that the two first
States arc already democratic, and that Kansas
in all probability will come into the Union as a
democratic State. Indeed it is not true that
there Ls now a single abolition Senator in Con
gress. Neither Hale, AVilson, Seward, nor any
other Northern Senator has ever, to our .knowl
edge, advanced the doctrine that Congress had
the right to abolish slavery in the States where
it exists, and yet Judge Iverson seeks to make
his constituents bclicro that there arc now men
in the Senate of the U. States who entertain
this doctrine, and that “four years more would
give to these abolitionists the control of the
Senate.” This is trifling with the intelligence
of the people, to say the least of it. Judge
Iverson’s mind, however, seems to have become
so thoroughly imbued with the idea that all the
politicians and people of the free States arc ab
olitionists—negro emancipationists—that it tin
ges everything he touches. For four long years
Judge Iverson has been seated in the Senate
with Seward, Hale and AA'ilson and yet he has
never until now found it convenient to infonn
his constituents ,that they were negro emanci
pationists— seeking to overthrow the institution
of slavery in the States! AA'hy, Judge, have
you waited until th(* moment for your retire
ment from the Senate lias almost arrived to
warn your constituents of their danger? If
you have given us a faithful picture of the con.
dition of things in Congress, Mr. Toombs and
yourself have both been unfaithful to the high
trust reposed in you, and your places ought to
bc supplied by more vigilant sentinels. But
you say further in your speech “That the Nor
thern clans are to bc mustered to the war cry
of down with slavery in the Presidential cam
paign of 1860 under AViliiam II. Seward,” who
you inform us “has more power and influence
over the Black Republican party of the North
than the Pope of Rome has over the Catholic
world!! Terrible news this to the Protestant
people of the South—that they and their “nig
gers” are soon to bo governed by an American
Pope! Brush up your muskets and knapsacks,
ye people of the South, for the Pope is coming
in the person of AVm. H. Seward 1 That a
grave Senator should resort to such a shallow
device as this, to “frighten his constituents out
of their propriety’’ Ls simply ridiculous. Again,
he says “The black flag of universal emancipa
tion will be raised aloft, never to be furled
again,” Ac. Here again tho idea is distinctly
expressed that the Northern people are urging
through their Representatives in Congress,
their Senators, and Presidential candidate, uni
versel emancipation, and that this will be their
rallying cry in the Presidential election of 1860.
Ifhat authority has ^ Mr. Iverson for this bold
statement ? Fremont was not run on a Plat
form hostile to slavery in the States where it
exists; but on a free soil platform, that L«, op
position to the extension of slavery to territory
| now free, and no one knows better than Judge
Iverson that this is Seward’s platform and that
that the extract from Mr. Seward s speech at
Rochester, which he quotes, not unlike many
portions of his own speech, is a mere brulem
fulmen—“full of sound and fury, signifying
nothing.” The people of the South arc an in
dependent, intelligent and Blinking people, not
to be frightened by “nursery tales.” Judge
Iverson would do well to keep this fact in view
when he goes to make another rabble-rousing
speech. A NATIONAL DEMOCRAT.
To be continued.

»IIcli> me, Cassius, or 1 sink.’’
Julius Cmsar, once, while standing beside
the angry Tiber uttered, according to Shak-
spcarc, this challenge,
“ IJar’st thou, Cassius, now
Leap in with me into this angry flood
And swim to yonder point f 1 ”
This was an ambitious and a boastful chal
lenge to his friend Cassius; it was promptly
accepted on the part of Cassius, and plunging
into the “chafing” stream they struck out
boldly for the designated “point.” But Cmsar
—who had so boldly challenged his friend—
ere he could-reach the “point proposed” cried
“Help me, Cassius, or I sink.” Never, per
haps, was vaulting ambition more deservedly
rebuked than on this occasion.
Now, I desire to invite the attention of the
readers of the Telegraph, to the self-named
(and truly, too) Opposition party; observe the
striking similarity of the two cases in their
most prominent parts.
A few years ago, there mysteriously arose
in the land a party, bearing (perhaps, appro
priately) the name of Know-Nothing; it was
a name that at first its members proudly ac
cepted; it was a secret, dark-lantern party in
every essential; had its regular meetings and
its members sworn to the strictest secresy as
to the time of, and what was to be done at,
those meetings. Of course “outsiders” knew
nothing of its intentions; but to satisfy our
impertinent curiosity, they condescended to
inform us that it was a party that had “arisen
on the ruins, and in despite of the opposition
of the AVhig and Democratic parties,” and
that its chief objects were, the preservation of
the Union, disgust for wild hunt after office
the reformation of the character of our nation
al Legislature, opposition to foreigners, and a
host of other things too numerous to mention
AVell, this new party (built out of the ruins
of old ones) boasted a good deal as everybody
knows; in fact it was going to perform perfect
miracles of statesmanship. It had discovered
that the Union was in danger and kindly urn
dertook to bring it out of its great perils; it
also made the wonderful discovery that the
foreigners emigrating here were to become our
masters unless speedily prevented. In this
awful dilemma, our kind Know-Nothing friends
got up a curious invention (patent unapplied
for) to prevent its actual occurrence; that was
no more nor less than to stop the foreign emi
gration. This invention I presume was one of
their reforms; they boastfully asserted that
no party dared to oppose them on it, and in
effect said to the Democratic party:
“ Dar'st thou, now
Leap in with me into the angry flood
And swim to yonder point T”
That “point,” I take it, was in their estima
tion, the AVhitc House and ultimately a de
struction of our glorious Constitution; in the
opinion of the Democratic party, it was a pre
servation of the Union and the perpetuity
our institutions in the event of our success.
Under these circumstances!the good old time
honored Democracy, a party that had so often
and triumphantly borne aloft our glorious ban
ner—the Constitution—on many a hard fought
field, did not falter, but eagerly rushed to the
battle; undaunted it plunged into the stream
and made “yonder point”; it arrived as it had
often done before in perfect safety. But the
great Know-Nothing, American, or to speal;
more plainly, the Opposition party, where is
it? That party that was at first so boastful
is now faintly struggling in the rushing stream
and lifting its arms imploringly to the Demo
cratic party it cries, “Help me, Cassius, (De
cracy) or I sink.”
This, Mr. Editor, is a true history and pic
ture of the present Opposition party. Ask
the leaders of the party, ask its Convention
that recently assembled in your city, what are
their only hopes of success in the coming Oc
tober election, and if they speak truthfully
they will tell you in the divisions of, and the
help that they expect to get from, the Demo
cratic party,
* And has it come to this ? that this great Op
position, Union-saving party is compelled to
call on the hated name of Cempcracy for aid ?
Truly their affairs must be in a most desperate
condition.
In this connection, and before closing this
article, I wish to utter a word of warning to
Democrats. I would say to them, beware how
you assist that party that we left struggling
in the stream; it has now an imploring look
and pleading voice; but my Democratic friends
let it alone; leave it to its inevitable fate;
keep far from it, or like the drowning man, it
will drag you along with it to its own ignom
inious grave.
Fellow Democrats! let us stand firmly and
fearlessly on our glorious old principles. AVe
have no enemy to fear as long as the Consti
tution floats as gallantly at our mast-head as
it does now. To those misguided Democrats
who have wandered from our political common
wealth, we say, return to your party—that
party which in former days you loved so well
we will receive you with open arms and in full
fellowship; you are now forced to see that
you are acting with a party that has always
opposed your cherished principles and called
yon all kinds of hard names; why then will
you be deluded any longer ? Again we say,
come along, all past differences will be for-

Montvalc Springs.
Mr. Editor : I spent a few days of last
week at Montvale Springs. I had never been
there before, and was surprised to find such a
paradise, and yet so littlo known. Dr. John
son must have had a picture of Montvale in his
mind’s eye when he wrote his incomparable
fiction, “Rasselas.” It is indeed “ the happy
valley;”—no more grand, yet beautiful scen
ery can be found anywhere; and then the wa
ters have effected many marvellous cures. In
deed the surrounding scenery and bracing
mountain air would make most invalids well
if tried long enough. Fires were necessary
every morning I staid there, during the last

places in Europe and America, but never one
so charming as Montvale to all who 6eek health
