tiik USES of advertising.
U A sU!c topic this, anU tho reader will say it
“srofUs • f the shop.” So be it; but we l>«ve
met. since our daily was established, with
•; t) many and frequent illustrations of its peat
convenience. and advantage to advertisers,
that we will allude to some of them, by way ol
illustration. Three months ago a gentleman
from a neiglilmring county called ami paid in
advance to advertise a runaway. Two days af
ter, we received an abusive letter from him, for
not publishing the advertisement lie had fail
ed to find it in the paper, but while enclosing
him a marked copy of tho advertisement a per
son came in, said lie had the negro, and churn
ed the reward offered. A piece of Jewelry had
been lost in Macon three months. It looked
like lollv'to advertise it but an advertisement
was published, tmd the Jewelry recovered by
breakfast time next morning. Nearly every
house advertised for sale or rent in this paper,
has been rented or sold advantageously, and in
some cases where notice to discontinue had been
ncgleotad or forgotten, the annoyance ol fre-
qucnt appHcations to tho advertiser, has driven
him to make the order or to scold for tho neg
lect of it A person with negroes to hire and
sell, ordered three publications, and having com
pleted all his negotiations tho first day, on the
second caine into tho office begging us to tako it
out for the annoyance of applicants was unen
durable. A merchant advertised some special
varieties of dry goods, indefinitely as to time,
but sold out clean before noon next <tey. A
resident of the town suffered much inconveni
ence from tho inveigling away of a valuable ser
vant lie wrote and telegraphed hither anil
thither; but after some days the idea occurred
to liiiu of putting a liUle notice in the Daily
Telegraph, and he recovered the missing ser
vant at eight o'clock on the morning of its ap
pearance.
We could spin these illustrations out to n
-reit extent but have said enough to show that
as U medium of communication with tho pub-
lie, the Daily Telegraph is very convenient and
valuable. Whoever wishes to sell, or buy, or
hire, J or in any way to appeal to public neces
sities, mates or convenience, will find it more
valuable to thcmsclm than their favors are tP
the Printer.

From the Savannah Morning News.
Macon, June 18, 1860.
Mr. Rlitor:—In your issue of the 11th inst,
I find myself[the subject of a communication,
over tin-signature of “Blythe,” In which he
very gallantly volunteer* to arraign me before
the country, upon the charge of misrepresent
ing the Democracy of Glymi county, in a con
vention which assembled at tlic Millcdgcville
Hotel on the evening of the 0th inst
Now, if “Blvthc” thinks it wrong to misrep
resent others, he ought not to have misrepre
sented me, as he lias done in this. lick pleas
ed to style me a "self-apjtointed delegate from,
and oMuuifrij/ to represent the county of Glynn,
unauthorized, and contrary to the will of that
county.” If “Blythe” had taken tlic pains to
inform himself of the facts, he might have re
lieved himself of the lalior of love, which he
has six generously undertaken for the good peo
ple of Glynn.
They should feel under lasting obligations to
“Blytlie" for his timely notice to them of facts
which never existed.
I dial not net, or assume to act, in tlic conven
tion referred to, it* it delegate from the eounty
of Glynn. I had disrobed myself of all dele
gated j tower before tltat time. 1 went into that
convention as an independent citizen of Glynn
county, representing my turn opinion*, for my
self nntl no one el*e. And so stated distinctly,
and publicly; and committed no one to that
line but mytelf. This I had a right to do.. 1
did no more. 1 think I was right; I sliall abide
it. Majierilir* have no terrors for me. I wear
no man's collar, cither in jiolitics or anything
else.
I believed then, as I do now, that the action
of tlic majority of the regular State Conven
tion. if persisted in, would lead to the disinte
gration and breaking tip of the National Dem
ocratic juirtv, anil, regarding that event, at this
crisis, as fatal to the liest interests and hopes
of tlic South, and tlic whole country, I could
not co-operate with them. I could not cast my
vote in that convention for the report of the
committee, because I lielicvc it was wrong, and
mischievous in its consequences. I would not
vote against it, bccaqsc I regarded the action
of the meeting in Glynn, which appointed‘me
a delegate, as favoring the policy indicated in
the report.
Ami lielieving it the duty «f tlic representa
tive to obey tho will of his constituents when
expressed, or resign his trust when that will
is in conflict with hip own convictions of right,
/ resigned, when called upon to vote for tliat,
which piy judgment disapproved..
I was then free to enter any organization I
chose, tt* tin individual. I did it, and am res
ponsible to no body for my action there.
But it is due to myself, as well'as my friends
ofGlynn county, wlio have placed me under
obligations which will only terminate with my
life, by the almost unparalleled unanimity with
which they have ever supported my aspirations
for public favor, not only to correct this most
unfounded statement, hut to offer them the
Charleston had withdrawn, liecausc, as they al
lege, the Convention refitsed to add to the na
tional platform a resolution in favor of Con
gressional protection of property (slave) In the
Territories.
The Georgia Convention sent the t(ime dele
gate* back, instructed to demand exactly, the
tame thing, nothing less, from the tame dele
gates who had refused it at Charleston. Could
they hope, did they hope in that way to obtain
any concession ? But they did not stop here,
they instructed the delegates to cn(er the Con
vention of a separate organization, at issue with
the National Democratic party, gotten up by the
disorganizers at Charleston, anil composed part
ly of delegates accredited to Baltimore and partly
of delegates sent alone to Richmond to nominate,
there to concert Jenin nil* andnssume what must
lie regarded by our Northern friends as a bully
ing posture.
This I regarded as eminently unwitib and im
politic, as calculated to defeat all bop* ofharnm-

THE TORNADOES IN THE WEST.
The destructive effects of the awful terrific
tempests which have visited portions of the
AVestcm country recently, arc illustrated in
the following account of the total demolition of
si town in Iowa containing 2000 inhabitants,
only thirty-nine of whom, however, were kill
ed, but a great many injured:
Caxanciik.—The day had been very hotand
sultry, but about seven o’clock the sky • was
clear and gave evidence of a beautiful sunset.
At seven o’clock, the tornado was seen coming
with tlic rapidity of lightning. The sky as
sumed a yellowish, brassy aspect anil the air
seemed dead. The tornadoes themselves re
sembled huge balloons at first, about tho size
of a barrel, but gradually increasing and swel
ling. At one time they rose and again fell to
the earth, their black folds undulating and
whirling with snapping, cracking reports like
a volley of musketry, distinctly audible at a
great distance. The interior of the airy tun
nels was filled with a heterogeneous mass of
leaves, branches of trees, tiinlicrs anil stones,
which seemed td impart a yellowish tinge in
side .the black outer foliR. There was but lit
tle time for gazing, however,‘for in an instant,
and with a force inconceivable, the doomed
town was struck full in the centre, and the air
choked with fragments of timbers, bricks,
stones, furniture, and in many places, with hu
man beings, who wcrehurlcd about like straws.
The affrighted horses and cattle filled the air
with their terrible and shrill screams; but
al>ove all was heard the snapping and cracking
of these fearful hesotns of destruction.
Tlic scene well nigh beggars description, and
one, after gazing upon it, only wonders now ir
single person was left to tell the talc. There
arc hut one or two buildings in this town of
2,000 souls which were untouched; all tlic
others are a shapoless mass ot ruin v In many
places, for several acres, ever remnant of a
house Is gone, and only a few scattered slivers
mark the s|iot where they stood. A singular
feature of the scene is the fact that from- one
end of the town to the other not a vestige of
furniture can lie found. Here and there a few
shreds, of clothing, or a mattress tom into rib
bons, tell that the town was once inhabited.
Incidents of the Great 'W’ostom Tornado
AVe find the following from correspondents
of AVcstcrn papers, who visited Oamanelic im
mediately after its destruction. _ The circum
stance of the walls of a house falling ontwanlly,
which astonishes one of the correspondents, is
not only common, hut we believe almost invari
able in blown'down houses. The fabric be
comes packed with air and the house literally
hunt*. AVe have sccn’several illustrations.—
The preventive, in cases of high wind, is to open
the windows ..on the leihard- side of the - house- a
little, so as to let the air escape. This is the
practice in the West Indies where hurricanes
are common, and 1t is well for every body to
bear it in mind: * . * ■
“ Many of the incidents connected with the
tornado at Catnanche can hardly be credited by
those who have not seen thcruins. A ejumney
weighing about two tons was broken off at its
junction with the root lifted into the air and
hurled down into the front yard, burying itself
jn-tlie ground a depth ■> of- three feet-without
breaking or cracking v single brick. A light
pine shingle was drirevrfrom the outside through
jhe elap-lioards, laifc.'and plaster, and’ projects
tiVo inches from, the inside wall of a dwelling-
house. .No other known’*prca qpuld have ac
complished, (his. A common tTovrell, such as is
used hy nrations, was .driven through a pihe-
knot in the side of a bam, projecting full two
inches. In one spot was found a large pile of
.book covCra, every leaf from which was gone,
and twisted into, a thousand shapes; Leavcs
were stripped of their tissue, leaving the fibers
clean ami bare as if a botanist bad neatly pick
ed it off. Tree trunks wero'twistod several
times round until they, were broken off- The

The seceders* convention.
IliciixoxD, Va., June 11.—The Convention
met at 12 o’clock to-day, and was called to or

Ex-Licut Gov. Lubbock, of Texas, was cho
sen temporary Chairman, and Messrs. James
C. Nichols, of Georgia, and Van II. Manning, o!
Arkansas, as Secretaries pro tein.
Gov. Lubbock, on taking the Chair, mado a
brief but appropriate address, in which he coun
selled harmony, with firmness and the cultiva
tion of good feeling, and closed by thanking the
Convention for the honor conferred upon him.
Tl« Ilcv. Mr. Burrows made a fervent prayer,
advising good feeling, etc.
A motion was made fora call of the roll of
delegates in attendance on the Convention.
A motion was put and adopted, that the Chair
appoint one delegate from each State, as Com
mittee on permanent organization and on Cre
dentials; with the following result:
Committee on Permanent Organization.—
Win. S. Barry, of Mississippi; R. A. nunter, of
Louisiana; R. G. Scott, of Alabama; M • J-

Cad. Jones, of South Carolina; if. IV. Fisher,

of Georgia; F. II. Hatch, of Louisville; F. S.
Stock dale, of Texas; Beverly Matthews, of Mis
sissippi ; and Van H. Manning, of Arkansas.
The State of New York has seven delegates
here, calling themselves the representative of
the National Democracy. It is considered doubt
ful whether their claim to seats will be recog
nised.
There-are in all about one hundred and fifty
delegates now in the city. A large number ar
rived this morning, and are now resting after
the latignes of travel.
A full attendance is expected upon to-mor
row’s deliberations.
After the appointment of the Committees on
Permanent Organization and Credentials, the
Convention adjourned to meet to-morrow morn
ing at 10 o>Iock. - "
Of tho States represented, South Carolina
alone has a full Delegation here as yet. Louis
iana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
Texas and Florida, are So far only partially rep
resented. There are Delegates from nearly all
these States, known to 'be on their way, who
have net yet arrived.
lltautoND, A'a., June 11, 0:00 p. m.—The
Florida Delegation have arrived, and arc posi
tively- instructed not to go to Baltimore. The
Delegation from South Carolina’ is also similarly
instructed. Tlic general impression ;iow is,
however, that the Convention will adjourn to
morrow or the following day. to meet at Balti
more, and demand admission into the National
Convention. The-policy is to keep these move
ments secret,- and act without a great deal of
•speaking. ,
It .is supposed .that Gov, Lubbock will.be
chosen permanent President of the. Convention.
The Delegation from New York is considered
wholly bogus. . - _

The Japanese. .
The Japanese have had a fine day for their
visit, and the reception was highly imposing.
There was a grand display of the military, the
tire department, the city council, and all other
public functionaries, and the turn out of the
citizens was equal to any occasion ever seen in
the city. The ladies made a splendid display
along the line of the procession, and greeted the
Orientals with their smiles, threw them show
ers of boquets, waved their handkerchiefs, and
in every way gave them a hearty welcome. 1 lie
dignitaries and their retinue responded to these
demonstrations on the part of the ladies with
graceful bows, waving and kissing of bands,
and their faces licamed with smiles of the most
heartfelt acknowledgements of the compliments
thus paid them. It is evident their reception
has made a most favorable impression upon our
guests, and dispelled all doubts as to its being
got up as a mere spectacle to exhibit them as
curiosities to tlic public gaze. The appearance
of the Japanese too has agreeably disappointed
mast ol tlic spectators. Many bad an idea
that there would he something harsh and repul
sive in their faces and general appearance, some-
tiling of tlio Indian or savage in their look, yet
nothing could have been more wide of tlic
mark—out of the whole number near seventy,
there was not half a dozen of them whose faces
and manner did not bear the impress of amia
bility of dispasition, and gracefulness of action.
Their features were peculiar in form, but gene-
rally expressive of jnildness, and mirth, and
happiness. They are remarkably feminine in
appearance, and tho peculiar mode in which
they manage their hair, and their manner ol
dress, and the entire lack of beard, gives them
such a womanly appearance as to render it dif-
ficnlt to realize that one is looking at men.
There will be a grand display of the openr
tions of tho steam fire engines tins’afternoon, at
5 o’clock, and at night they will be gratified
with a splendid show of’fire works. Nothing
will be left untried to interest them during their
brief stay, which will only be until to-morrow

FREE-BLACK LABOR IN JAMAICA.
Much has been said and written in reference
to the emancipation of slaves, completed in 1838,
in tlic island of Jamaica. The latest statement
in reference to the present condition of- finan
cial ami agricultural affairs in that lamlof trop
ical fertility and-natural riches is contained in
a volume entitled- “The Went Indies ami tlio
Spanish Main." written by Anthony Trollope.
Mr. Trollope is an Englishman ,of education,
holds a lucrative position in the Post Office Dre
partmwit, has written several exceedingly clev
er novels, and his travels in tho AVest Indies

The greatest indignation prevails on ,* c f™
of the act of mean villiany. A reward of *.<0
has been offered to any one who will return

and the worst consequences it is said will re

No effort will be left untried to recover these

the life of the loser, they may be found and re

Editor* Mail }■—During an excursion Which

Florida and Alabama Rail Road, now comple
ted .39 rniliis, across the ’Escambia river, aqil to

He admits that the island, once so rich, is
now one of the most poverty-stricken spots <Jn
earth, anifthat this change was brought about
by the manumission of tho .slaves. The English
families aro dying out; property has been aban
doned'Vs good lor nothing, or left to an overseer
who sends home, no profits, and is ordered to
apply for lio'subsidics. Estates which used to
bring five thousand pounds « year, are not now
worth five Iwendred pounds in fee simple. More
than hair the- coffee plantations and sugar es
tates have gone back into “a state of bush,’’—
Land thirty years since rich with the richest
produce, has fallen hack into wilderness. While
“cIims and darkness have re-swallowed avast
extent ofthe most bountiful land that civiliza-
tica had ever mastered.” Planters who barer
made five hundred hogsheadsqf sugar each year,
now make but thirty, while it seems to be gen
erally believed in Jamaica that the cane, from
which file twp great staples of sugar and rum
arc manufactured, cannot be made to thrive
without slave-labor. So true is this, that even
Mr. Trollope recommends tliat the cultivation of
the cane be given up. • . *’ ;
The cause of this ruin is simply this: i roe
labor in Jamaica cannot bo commanded; it is
unreliable, scarce, and high-priced. The free
negro can live a week on half a day’s wages;
indeed, stretched out under the sun anil stuffed
with the yams bread-fruit and plaintains, which
—tow affluently and spontaneously on the de
serted estates lie frequently will not work at
alL He squats on tiie enormous and fertile
tracts which have been thrown out of cultiva
tion as unprofitable, anil so long as lie can suck
manges eat bread-fruit, anil wear a white waist
coat, will not give up his indolent and luxuri-
OES iifeto help harvest the most valuable crop
in the island. „ - *
From Mr. Trollope's description,of (lie Ja
maica free negro, it is plain that nothing valu
alilccan be obtained from him. He lias no in
telligible language, no real religion, no idea of
country,.no pride of race, bates his fellow “nig
gers” especially if a different.sliadc of color
from bis own, makes no approach to the civ Si-
zation of the whites, whom he “imitates a.« a
monkey does a man.” lie is seldom grateful,
although often thankful; covetous of notice,
but with no idea of earning continual respect;
has no care for to-morrow, but delights in be
ing gaudy to-day; loVcs but fearfully ill uses
his children, and sells his daughter’s virtue for
a dollar. “They laugh anil singanil slecpAhro’
life; and if life were nil, they would not have
so bad a time ol il ” Physically, they are ca-
pablc.of tlic hardest work, but are idle, unam
bitious sensual, and content with little;
Such, arc the character and position of the
free negroes in Jamaica, and such the disastrous
effects of free black labor, as described by an
Englishman who hates slavery anil believes in
emancipation. The theories which Mr. Trol
lope suggests as possible means by which Ja
maica may l«e regenerated, arc exceedingly
crude and unsatisfactory. The intimation tliat
the culture of the cane ami the tradc'in. sugar
must be given up, because their production re
quires slave labor, suggests no permanent cure
or'permanent relief; lor if tiie free negroes will
not grow cane, neither will their labor be profit
able in tho production of other tropical staples.
Tbe advantages to be reaped from a compulsory
system oflabor may lie as large as he supposes;
but this apprentice system, when applied to
full-grown men, is nothing but a quasi or moili-
tiedcondition of slavery which the English na
tion will never consent to. The only hope then
left* to Mr. Trollope, is a new race springing
front white men and black men. llo claims that
the blood of Asia may be mixed with that of
Africa, but admits that a mixture of breed be
tween the negro and the Coolie and the negro
and the Chinese, is a thing as yet unknowa.—
The amalgamation of these races is, in fact, im
possible. Then he hopes that the 70,000 col
ored people and the 15,000 whites will create a
new race, and anticipates that the Anglo-Sax
ons will yield to the race of mulattocs, quad
roons, mustecs and what-not Of course, ttuch
an amalgamation would lower and ultimately
destroy the whites; and even Mr. Trollope ad
mits tliat this hybrid race lias ‘‘deteriorated,
both in mind and body.” If the negroes, as ho
asserts, arc bom to be servants and belong to a
servile race, wliat can be expected of the prom
ised motley and mongrel population, incapable
ol perpetuating itself except by a fresh infusion
of wliito and black blood ? thaw, indeed, arc
shadowy-and unreliable theories for improving
the condition of Jamaica, and present a picture
of future civilization exceedingly unpleasant to
contemplate, and degrading to the Anglo-Saxon.

New Yoke, June 9th, 1800.
Dear Sir—New York never presented a more
pleasant and lively aspect at this season of the
year than the present; the weather is all that
could be desired, a slight rain occasionally,-bare
ly sufficient to give freshness to verdure—a ge
nial atmosDherc—our streets for once being tol
erably clean, and free from dust—the street
sweeping machines doing their work in the
night—Broadway, with her. Russ pavement
looking in the morning as bright and clean as
the carpetless floors of the ancient Dutch dames
of Manhattan, after a scrubbing. *
The Central Park is the popular resort for
the masses, it is visited daily, by probably not
less than twentv thousand people inchidmg
much of the wealth, beauty and fashion of our
city, as it affords fine opportunities Tor the dis
play of fine turnouts, and’exhibitions of horse
manship by both sexes, many of whom appear
to be accomplished equestrians, while others af
ford amusement by their ludicrous appearance,
with their arms .flapping, and plenty of daylight
between them and'the’saddle, they may be
compared to a turkey‘buzzard following and
hovering over the carcass of a horse, expecting
soon to make him his lawful prey. • v '
Twelve fine’swans which were presented by
the city of Hamburg, Germany, to our city,
were introduced into the ljike a few days since,
eight of which have suddenly died. As they
were quite tame—coming to the 'shore to take
food from the hands of visitors—it Was at first
supposed -tliat thev had been maliciouslv poi
soned, butupotUnortem examination has shown
that thev probably died froin.'tho effects of iui-
proper food. One of that class of bipeds, of which’
we find no account in natural history, became
raiey much disgusted on first seeing these grace
ful . rn.iv in tin. false, rnraarkinc to the lady

among which was a rattle snake with seven
rattles, a large cotton mouth mockasin, the cop
per head or rattle snake’s pilot, two different
speciesof the viper, and several species of water
mockasin. He took first the rattle snake in his
hand, shook bis rattles, played with him, and
coiled -him about liis neck. He next took the
cotton mouth mockasin, and went through the
same manoeuvres with him, and so on through
with all the others. He had at one time thewhole
twenty-five crawling around his neck, shoulders
and head, playing with him, touching his whis
kers with their tongues, and actually kissing
him. He put them oil tho floor, and tormented
them in a way that wc could call cruel—but not
.one of them attempted to bitehim, or to show the
slightest anger—no matter what he did. He
picked them all up and put them into his bosom!
where they crawled and coiled for five minutes.
They were then restored to their box, every
one satisfied of one thing, that is his complete
contro! over them. . .
A sniaH stout dog, at least four years old,
was then brought in, when Mr. AYirsen took
out the rattl? snake, and in an instant the rattles
were in motion and the anger of the snake
aroused. Mr. W. held him.in his hand while
he bit {he dog twice. He then, coiled the rat
tle snake around his neck, and took out. the
cotton mouth mockasin, which bit the dog once,
fiercely. From the moment the* dog was-first
bitten" tfnd he appeared in excellent health be

an hour. This was to all the most satisfactory
evidence that the snakes were venomous,. but

AVfisliington, June 11.—Tho Frpnt-st Theatre

In answer to enquiries; we are unable to say
positively what the Union party of this State
will do in tlve present emergency, or what the
Executive Committee propose to do. AVq pre
sume, however, tliat the Committee frill shortly
issue a call fota convention of delegates'from
the various-counties, to assemble in Millcdge-
ville carly in July, then and there to determine
whuf is best to be done, and how most certainly
and effectually the principles of tho party, as
announced in thedfite State Convention of May
2d, can be sustained and carried out Compos
ed’mainly of Whigs and Americans, consistent
opponents alike of Republicanism and Squatter
Sovereignty, of Congressional and Territorial
prohibition, it is presumable that the members
of the Constitutional Union party, actuated by
tlic spirit of sclf-sacriBcing patriotism whicli
Iris ever characterised them, will pursue such
course as, in the judgment of the majority, is
most likely to secure tho rights, honor and in
terest of the South, and the perpetuity of our
Constitutional Union.—Chronicle & Sentinel.

The Japanese were escorted to the cars this
morning by a portion of the military; and left
at 11 o’clock for Philadelphia. They were
accompanied to the depot by a large concourse
of people. They were greeted by cheers from
the multitude, and evinced great delight at Ihc
attention paid them; 'during the morning they
were called on at the Gilmor House by a large
number of our citizens, and bore themselves
with dignity and gracefully responded to the
many compliments paid them. _ They were
profuse in the distribution of their autographs,
and it was astonishing to witness the quickness
with which they wrote their names; many
ifying to hear that tho chiefs among them Juu c
expressed tlic highest gratification at tlieir vis
it to Baltimore. Their sketcliers were busy
during the whole’of the day and night inrajnd-
ly sketching everything they saw. Tiie oper

object of greatest curiosity to them, anil made
the strongest impression upon their min da

Presentments of Panel Two.
•-We, the member* of PuneLNo. 3 of the Grand Jarwe
of Bibb county, make the following Presentments:

has left little for us to do. The committee appointed to
examine the Court of Ordinary’s Books find them even
kept, and that officer courteous and attentive to his busi
ness.
Thia Body concur with Panel No. 1. in recommending

This Hotly concur witn ranci ->o. i, in recommending
to the Inferior Court in connection with tho City Coun
cil, to build * new Conrt House and City Hall, in 6ome
suitable place in a convenient part of the city, the for
mer being-very much dilapidated.
This Body are folly satisfied that the Macon Bridge
should be free for all articles of produce brought to this
Market for sale, and see no good reason why the Planter^
with his hundred bales of cotton, should past free, while
the poor man with his load of wood or basket of chick
ens should be required to pay toll.
This body are of the opinion that some suitable place
should be provided for those in needy circumstances, and
we recommend the City and County to purchase a Farm
where thia unfortunate class may be taken care of, and
the well be required to work.
From the numerous presentments made for selling
liqnor without license, we are led to believe that thui
crime is really on the increase, corrupting not only the
morals of tho whites but raining the value of our slaves
and that some more elective means should be adopted
to suppress the same, and we most respectfully aek the
city authorities to assist iu every possible way to put
down this crying evil.
In taking leave of their Honors, Judge Lamar and
Judge Cabaniss, wc tender to them onr thanks for their
courtesy to this Body, and wish them a long life of use
fulness atd happiness.
