GLOWING STATE OF AFFAIRS.
It seems wo made a mistake in rendering
the Telegram yesterday about the Bell Nation-
tional Committee. The Chronicle A Sentinel,
better authority on that matter, and nearer
the fountain head of telegraphic news has it as
follows:
Washington, Oct. 1—The Bell National
Committee inct here to-day; business of a SE
RIOUS character.
Wc rendered it “srrret" and it was proba
bly both secret and serious. Somo suppose
they will take Beil down, hut we have no such
idea.

quiry. In Bailey’s letter which, we presume, I P crt y of citizens, appeared in print in the Aus- r ° u V*./.wthrex weeks, inthecitgof Macon,U-

expression a h ut slavery "stinging itself to () clnocra t f or ovcr three weeks, under the seal
death”—a very favorite one with Seward. Sew
ard in his Western speeches wants to drive
slavery like a snake to its hole- where it will
sting itself to death. History in our opinion,
will develope a perfect understanding between
the leading Black Republicans and thc John
Brownites. Bailey saya:—
We will then have a connected link from the
lakes to the gulf. Slavery will then be sur
rounded by land and by water, and soon sting
itself to death.
LET US REASON TOGETHER.
The crisis of our country’s fate is actually im
pending, and still thousands upon tens of thou
sands of our people, North and South, will not
believe it. They are eating and drinking and
making merry, marrying and giving in mar
riage. while beneath their feet is the rumbling
volcano, anil while they laugh and sing the
Union is rocking with the throe of ancarthquake.
So the world goes—so in the olden time men
heeded not till the fiood came, and so in latter
times volatile, reckless France made merry,
while the sea of blood rose round almut, threat
ening the foundations of society. Our people,
reckless of danger ahead, move on in their ac
customed wavs while the turmoil rages, anil
thc cloud thickens and draws nearer. They
know-nothing by actual experience ofcivil war, _
and therefore they do not believe it will ever cal observer in Philadelphia to a friend in Bos-
coine. But still, if men relloct, they must sure- j ton, says: “Politically, everything looks well
NEW YORK.
Thc JoujTtal of Commerce of thc 28th tilt,
says:
Already has the influence of thc combination
of the Anti-Lincoln forces in New, begun to
manifest itself in the quaking and trembling
of thc Republican leaders. A sudden change
has come over them, and now, instead of the
confident assumption that Lincoln is to be elec
ted by thc people, they have taken to calcula
ting the chances cf the several candidates in
thc House of Representatives. This is a prac
tical and sensible idea, and wc are glad to see
that they begin to realize tlicir condition. So
long as thc Anti-Lincoln men were divided and
wasting their strength, just so long were thc
Republicans justified in their anticipations of
an easy victory in New York. But with thc
union of thc conservative men in Nctv York
thc aspect of the Presidential question has ma
terially changed, and nowhere is this change
better understood, or more keenly appreciated
than in thc ranks of the Lincolnites, They
not only fear the consequences, but they trem
ble for the existence of the party, which rests
its hopes upon Thc maintenance of an angry
conflict between the different sections of the
Anti-Lincoln party.
Pennsylvania.—The Boston Post publishes
the following encouraging news from Pennsyl
vania.
A private letter from an experienced politi-
of the county court of Tarrant county, and he,
in co-operation with a number of thc leading
citizens of Bell county, communicated thc
contents of the letter to reliable men in eighteen
counties, with a view to turn the revelations
in this letter to account for the detection of thc
emissaries it named in this State: Wampler,
Leake, Wood, Ives, Evans, McDaniel, Vickery,
Cole, Nugent, Shaw. White, Gilford, Ashley,
Drake, Meeks, Shultz, Newman, Webb, Trillet
and Munger. It was understood that the let
ter should not be published until an effort
could be made to entrap the guilty, as its pub
lication would cause them to fly'. “No one is
to blame,” says thc Democrat, “for its too ear
ly publication, as the Gazette was not informed
of these movements in time.”
The letter, it will be remembered, was dated
at Denton Creek, July 3, and opened with the
writer, W. II. Bailey, informing his unknown
correspondent that “ourglorious cause is pro
gressing finely as faras south Brenham.” There
he parted with Wampler, who went further
South, and “will do good wherever ho goes.”
Baily then says he liad traveled up through the
frontier counties, part of the time under a ficti
tious name; he found “many friends who had
been initiated and understood thc mystic red;”
he also met a number of friends at Georgetown
who, on consultation, agreed that it would be
best to be cautious of “our new associates;
most of them are desperate characters, and
may betray us, as there are slaveholders among
them, and value a poor negro much more than
a horse.”
And here thc writer goes on to expose thc
present and ultimato objects of this nefarious
organization.
“The only good they (these new associates)
will do, will be destroying towns, mills Ac.,
which is our only hope in Texas at present—
(fire can brent Southern merchant$ and mil-
lerf»,and hare their places jilled by honest Re
publicans, Texas trill be an easy prey if tee

time being is the control of the trade. Trade,
assisted by preaching and teaching, will soon
control public opinion. Public opinion is

to do an act that is as blainplicinous in the sight
of God as holding slaves.”
Most of thc names mentioned in the letter
arc known to be of the stripe indeed, and the
allusions of Bailey to his visit to Anderson,
Brenham and Georgetown, is confirmed by
subsequent events at those places which could
not possibly have l>een known in Tarrant coun
ty when tho letter was found. This last is a
conclusive point But arc not thc statements
of the letter in perfect harmony with all that
has transpired from the burning of Dallas, on
thc 8th July, to the present time? Stronger
proof could not be asked.
We assume, then, without the shadow of a
doubt that thc letter of the miscreant wretch,
William H. Bailey, is genuine and true. No
sane man can entertain a doubt on the subject
We regret thc too early publication of the
letter, but now it should be circulated far and
wide.
SONG.
When the (.vext Sir Walter Raleigh langaLhod In a ty

Banging clouds, Instead of sunshine, on the wing of

As he saw each day still nearer Death's inevitable goal.

Passed amid pursuit of Letters, or In Honor's swarded

Memory of the wreaths that Genins twined around ms

And a glorious exultation for thefoture of his lhme.
Nor forgot by him the soother that his effort gave to

Where the healthy sons of Nature, unpolluted noble yet.
By their breezy groves and fountains smoked tbe balmy
Calnmct.
these discordant elements to the support of
any one of tho candidates, particularly of Mr.
Belt Thc die is cast and we must take what
comes. If thc Pennsylvania State election
goes for thc Union ticket next week, Lincoln
is deflated. If pot, there can be little hope of
averting thc disgrace and ruin. It seems to us
no facts can bo more clearly indicated than
these in all thc aspects of the existing canvass.
Thc Chronicle holds up Bell as the strongest
candidate, and say.® lie does so, as far he can,
without bias of judgment. M c do not on U ,c
other hand, doubt that Bell will lie found pop
ularly the weakest of all the three anti-republi
can candidates.
The proper course for Southern men, then,
it seems to us, is clear. It is to sustain the
roan whoso principles more nearly conform to
ours, and who can doubt that Breckinridge is
thc man ? So far as thc mere defeat of Lincoln
is concerned, the South can do no rooro than
to refine lo vole for bin .
"Lincoln may bo elected,” says thc Chroni
cle «fc Sentinel “if he be, then we must/arc the
itsue—union or disunion.” Yes, whether we
?acc it at once or wait for thc “overt act” wc
cannot avert that issue. A hostile government
is over us, founded on a deadly antagonism to
every thing in our social science or economy—
to every thing in our interest and feelings—to
almost everything iu our belief and practice.
There is not a property value in thc Southern
States (for all our values hold an indivisible re
lation with our social system) which thc gov
ernment would not be then pledged to do its
utmost to destroy. In one word, so far as the
opinions and pledges of Lincoln and his fol
lowers go, to commit them to a line of policy,
the South had better find mastery in ,ono uni
versal conflagration than in Lincoln and his fa
natical followers, if they only act out their opin
ions. That Is thc dogmatic state of facts upon
which wc are drifting, and it would remain to be
seen whether Lincoln, if in possession of the
Presidency, would attempt to carry out his dog
mas. Wc know they arc fatally incompatible
with Southern interests and security, and if at
tempted to be enforced, would leave a simple
choice between the Union on the one hand, an.l
beggary, desolation and degradation on -die oth
er. Some paptravliscoursc about the issuoof dis
union, as though it wa3 going to lie a voluntary
offering by “the Southern secessionists." We
tell them -Lincoln and Sen ard have got to be
false lo all their anti-slavery opinions, should
they fail to present to every Southern man a
choice of division, or of “the Union” with no
thing else. Do you talk about thc “restraints
of the Constitution I” Ten years ago, Seward
proclaimed in tho Senate, his unalterable rule
of Constitutional construction. Says ho:

Mu. Ci.tskv—Dear Sir;—As you have seen
by Tuesday's issue of “ the Century,” the peo
ple of Houston seriously contemplate the erec
tion of a mammoth cotton and woolen manu
facturing cstalllis-’llnemt at Vaok ValLy
This taken into cwiSAwaUm,, with the direc
tion towards t^liich thc efforts of the Southern
Cotton Planters’ Convention, arc likely to turn
file tide of Southern Commerce, is one of thc
most judicious an.l praiseworthy enterprises of
the day, ono worthy of old Houston, “the Em
pire county of the Empire State.” Mr. Dan
iel Parr, of Columbus, is known in Houston
and Macon, as a man of indomitable energy,
and thus far has crowned his efforts with emi
nent success.
As to the ability of the people of Houston,
to engage in manufacturing interests, Iter
broad and ample cotton fields amply testify,
and it is much more agreeable to work up her
raw material at home than to seek a Northern
market and pay a heavy tariff in so doing. A
capital of one hundred and ten thousand dol
lars is n)l that is necessary, and that is a mere
trifle compared with wliat Houston can and
will do, if necessary, to develope her home re
sources.
We sec it stated in some of thc public jour
nals tlutt the Fort Valley & Atlantic Rail Road
s dead. Upon a private enquiry I am prepar
cd to say that “the wish is lather to thc
thought” as the prospect of thc ultimate suc
cess of thc Road is more brilliant now than
ever before. Thc people of Houston arc
through thc gas part of thc work and tho cn
terpriso is gradually, silently, but surely -ap
proximating to a culmination, which will take
South-Western Georgia by surprise.
Did Houston county ever undertake an en
terprise and fail in any part to meet the antic
ipations growing out from it? Never! and
she never will. Do not he surprised Jfr. Edi
tor, if Houston has in successful operation a
factory and a Rail Road, the first of which wijl
pay a dividend of 28 and the other 12 V per
cent pcs annum
Accept my best wishes for thc success of the
Telegraph, and every other like enterprise you
may turn your attention to, Mr. Editor, ns
true merit deserves success.
Yours truly, BIG INDIAN.

BOUGIITON, NISBET & BARNES.
The Rat.—Tho rat, says tho New Orleans
Weekly Mirror, is one of the most interesting
animals of the globe. In Europe he marks his-
torrical eras—different hordes of invaders
brought peculiar rats in their train. Europe has
seen the rats of the Goths, tho Vandals, and
Iluns. Europe has its Norman rat, and its Tar
tar rat, and the great rat of thc Perisian sewer is
of recent date and Muscovite origin.
Thc brown rat, otherwise known as the Nor-
uian rat, has established itself all over the world,
by tbe commerce of the times—it had posses
sion of France for thc last six or seven centu
ries, but within the last it has found its master
in flic Muscovite, and Tartar rat, called in Paris
the rat of Mountfancon. These new rats, pre
viously unknown to Europe, descend from the
heights of thc great central plateau of Asia, from
which the Hun and Mongol horsemen descend,
who spread right and left, and took possession
of Romo on one band and Pickon on the other.
Thc establishment of tho Muscovite rat in
France commenced with the extirpation of the
brown or Norman rat—that rat has almost dis
appeared, and is found only in thc cabinets o '
thc curious collections—while thc Muscovite rat.
is daily increasing in size, ferocity, and courage.
Tho Russian rat devours thc dog, the cat, anu
attacks the child asleep. The corpse of a man
is a dainty for this beast, and it always com
mences by eating out its eyes. Its tooth is
most venimous; and thc author, from whom we
derive most of this article, says that he has
known ten cases of amputation of the leg, ne
cessitated by the bile of this rat. Thc cat turns
tail upon this rat in its most ferocious state.—
A good rat terrier is the best destroyer, but for
tunately rats arc ratopbagus, eat one another,
Sight duels, indulge in disputes, broils, intense
feuds and grand destructive battles. Wens it
otherwise, they would make this world an un
pleasant place for man to live in. The rat is
an emblem of misery.
AYide Awakes.—There arc now three compa
nies Of Wide Awakes in Wheeling, numbering
altogether, about 300 men. They have regular
military drill, and one company is provided with
a piece of artillery.
