TUESDAY MORNING, JAN’Y. 1.
Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing
Meeting.
The Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing party
of Richmond county are requested to meet at the
City Hall, This (Tuesday) Afternoon, at 4 o’clock,
to appoint delegates to the Convention which will
meet at Milledgeville, on the 15th of January, for
the selection of delegates to the Cincinnati Demo
cratic Convention.
The Stars are Peeping Out.
We intimated, a few days ago, that the desire so
generally expressed by the Know Nothing party,
that the “ agitation of the Slavery question should
cease,” would develope itself, and reveal to the :
people of the South “ a combination and a form j
which should awaken feelings of alarm and just :
indignation. The stars are beginning to peep out,
as the hazy atmosphere is passing off. The editor
of the Washington “ Organ" says, that he has
“ received letters from prominent gentlemen of the
South, two of whom were tnemi*r» of the late Nation
al Council in Philadelphia, approving our this)
sentiments in favor of a toleration of opinion on the
Slave question.”
Now, what are the people of the South, or rather
the members of the Know Nothing party, required
to “ tolerate"t We copy the precise words of the
Organ — “ It is so with the North. They claim that
Congress has the right to prohibit slavery in the
Territories, and to refuse admission to States with
constitutions tolerating slavery." This is the sort
of entertainment to which the Know Nothings of
the South are invited—this is the policy of silenc
ing all further agitation. If these “claims” are
granted, in the name of Heaven what is there left
for the South to hang a hope on, that wild aboli
tion will not loom up in giant proportions, and
crush the institution of Slavery entirely. A tame
submission to this “ toleration ” would be tanta
mount to an acquiescence in the refusal to admit
Kansas as a State, if her people were to determine in
favor of Slavery—it would invite even to a repeal
of the Fugitive Slave law.
Are the people of the South—-without regard to
party affiliations—prepared to “ tolerate” such sen
timents ? The Democracy, we proclaim, are not
and will not. We have noticed the sneers in some
of the opposition prints, that the “ National De
mocracy will meet in Cincinnati, and patch up a
platform, which will he so constructed as to mean
one thing at the South and another thing at the
North.” It is enough to say in reply, that the De
mocracy intend to do no such thing. Such an im
putation, in the face of the granite position of the
National Democracy in Washington—in view of
the high and strong grounds assumed in the recent
elections throughout the country, and in the tone
of the Democratic press generally, can have no in
fluence, with sensible men who read and think.
Where are the leading Democratic “organs,”
thai are advising the people of the South to “ toler
ate" such principles as the Northern Know Noth
ings “chum,” from their Southern partisans?
Where are the “prominent (Democrats) of the
South,” who are disposed to “tolerate” such a
“ claim' ’ We call upon the opposition press to
publish them to the world, as we do in their case
that the Southern people may “ take due notice
thereof, and govern themselves accordingly.”
The New York Evening Post , of the 27th Dee.,
says: “ If anything certain can be predicted of the
Cincinnati Convention, it is, that its resolutions
will be an echo of the views of the Slaveholding
party. It cannot be otherwise.” The Post is fre
quently quoted from, bv the Know Nothing press
of the South, but we presume they will omit all ref
erence to the above opinions.
The Cincinnati Convention must enunciate sound
constitutional principles—it must proclaim to all
sections of the country, the sentiments of the reso
lution lately so unanimously adopted in Washing
ton city by the Democratic party—it must meet the
issues fairly and squarely—and when its nomina
tions are announced, we believe that the people will
rally to their support with a zeal and enthusiasm
almost without a parallel in our history. The
masses of the Democracy are sound, and they are
determined to have sound men and sound meas
ures—the fungous portion has sloughed off, and
gone either into the ranks of the Northern Know
Nothings, or the black Republicans.
In the coming contest, the Democracy desired
that there should be but one party at the South,
but their advances have not been reciprocated.
There can be no doubt, however, as to the result in
the South—every Southern State will support the
nominee of the Cincinnati Convention. If our
Houthern Know Nothing friends are fastidious about
co-operating with the Democracy, they mav con
sole themselves, for the work can be well done
without them, although it would enhance the value
of the result, and exhibit the influence and power
of the South, if the achievment could be effected
by the joint efforts and harmonious power of all
our people.
The most promising future that has ever dawued
upon the Democracy of this Union, at the advent
of any Presidential election, now light up the
hopes of the party and cheer them onward.
Fanaticism and Murder.
We insert to-day an account of one of the most
lamentable circumstances, which has occurred per
haps since the witchcraft days in Salem, Mass. It
is melancholy to reflect, that such scenes could be
enacted, in a city of so much refinement and intel
ligence h* New llavon, and where the world re
nowned Yale College is located, but in that region
of isnut, it ought not perhaps so much to surprise
us. There the “mind is studious of change and
fond of novelty,” hut it lias mounted on an unfor
tunate hobby in this instance. Read the account
in another column.
The Trenton (N. J.) Am-*ri. itn say s the Belvidere
Delaware Railroad Company have recently erected
along the line of their railroad, posts marked
“whistle,” and “ring,” These posts are erected
at certain distances from all road crossings and
stations, to notify the engineer of the train when
to blow the whistle and ring the bell, thus contin
ually reminding him of the necessary signals to be
given of the approaching train The road is being
fenced in.
A few days ago an old inau was robbed ou the
steamer Empress, plying on the Mississippi river.
The guilty parties were soon after arrested, and
tried under the Judge Lynch code, with a display
of much forensic eloquence, and the sentence of
the jury was faithfully executed—one person re
ceiving one hundred and fifty lashes; another fifty.
They were then set ashore.

tion. This will hereafter he a separate and self
sustaining charge. A flourishing Sabbath school,
with all necessary requisites, is in connection with
it. But the Boat'd recommend a continuance of
a Missionary among the whites in Augusta, who
need his labors. It is an inviting field.

Indian War Inevitable.
The following “official information” was re
ceived til Head quarters of the troops in Florida,
about 11;J o’clock, Inst night. The intelligence
was brought from Fort Myers, bv the U. S. steamer
Ranger. The Ranger left Fort Myers, on the morn
ing of the 22d iust.
Fort Brooke, (Fla.,) Pec. 23,1855. —An exploring
party under command of Lieutenant George L.
Hartsuff, 2d Artillery, consisting of one Sergeant,
one Corporal and seven privates, were suddenly
attacked by a party of Seminole Indians, at day
light on the 20th ihst., about sixteen miles South
east front Fort Simon Drum —that party being
about forty miles Southeast from Fort .Mvers.
The party left Fort Myers on the morning of the
7th instant, and up to the time of attack, were en
gaged in making a re-examination of that portion
of the Big Cypress Swamp examined bv the troops
last winter. Three men of the command arrived
at Fort Myers, on the night of the 21st; it is sup
posed that Lieut. Hartsuff and the remainder of his
party have been killed.
Most of the public animals with the expedition,
some eighteen in number, were also shot down!
Lieutenant Hartsuff, when last seen had one arm
broken, and is supposed to have been wounded in
bis side. Private Hanna, of Company G., 2d Ar
tillery, one of the party, who escaped’, brought the
above information to Fort Mvers. Hanna was
wounded in the abdomen, not seriously, it is
thought; he left another of the party, private
Baker, also wounded, about eighteen miles from
Fort Myers.
Baker gave out at that point and could come no
farther. The Indians making the attack were
some twentv-five or thirty in numbers. Two
companies of tlie 2d Artillery, were to leave Fort
Myers on the morning of the 22d inst., in search
of Lieutenant Hartsuff and the missing members
of his party.
Other movements of the troops in the direction
of the battle ground, were ordered immediately
on the receipt of the information concerning the
attack.
The above information embraces every tiling
known, officially, concerning the attack, up to the
departure of the Ranger, and is respectfully fur
nished for the information of the public.

Kansas Correspondence.
Shawnee Mission, Kansas Territory, 1
_ . Dec. 12, 1855. f
Dear Sir : Knowing the great interest you take
in Kansas affairs, although much fatigued from my
recent campaign against the Abolitionists, I hasten
to give you a brief account of the affair. I was at
Westport, Mo., on the Ist inst., waiting for the ex
pected arrival of our Georgia friends. When I left
Sparta, I was informed that they were on the way,
and I cannot account for their long journey. How
ever, they had not arrived when the news of the
outbreak l eached here, and I left for the scene of
strife.
When I reached Lecompton, on the 2d, I found ;
about fifty men in urms, prepared to repel an attack j
from the Abolitionists, who had threatened to at- j
tack the place, and hang Jones, the Sheriff of
Douglas county, and a prisoner by the name of
Coleman —a pro-slavery man, who had killed an
Abolitionist in self-defence, and had delivered him
self up. From that time, pro-slavery and law and
order men poured into the camps of Wakarusa and
Lecompton, and by the sth, there were not less
than five hundred at Lecompton and twelve or
thirteen hundred at Wakarusa. That you may the
better understand the ground, I will inform you
that Wakarusa (the camp), is about seven miles
east of Lawrence. The town of Franklin, the out
post of Wakanesa, is about half-wav from Law
rence, in the middle of a prairie, without a tree be
tween it and that vile hole of the outlaws. Law
rence is situated on the Kansas river, flanked on
both sides bv a thin copse of wood, and the entire
rear exposed to the prairie. In the immediate rear,
and within good cannonading distance, there are
fine elevations for artillery. Lecompton is about
ten miles west of Lawrence, on the Kansas river.
At Wakarusa, there were four pieces of artillery—
one nine pounder and three six pounders. At Le
compton, there were two six pounders. I never
saw more during and resolute men in my life, than
the men of these two camps; and I must admit
that 1 was anxious to see the valor of the two par
ties tested, entertaining a confident belief that the
Abolitionists would be made mince meat of in a
few hours.
The Abolitionists had all advantages, except
personal valor. They had in a fort in Law
rence, over one thousand men; organized into
companies and batallions, well officered and drilled,
the result of four months’ preparation. They were
armed with about five hundred of Sharp’s' rifles,
two or three cannon, and the remainder with all
other kinds of guns and pistols. They had stone
houses with port-holes; their streets were ditched
and barricaded, and had they the valor and a good
cause, five thousand men, armed as ours were, could
uot have taken the place. But as the storm which
they had raised approached, their knees trembled,
and their hearts failed. They hoisted white flags
over their houses, sent for the Governor, and gave
up the contest. Yet so much were they afraid of
our men, they remained in tlieir fort, armed and
guarded, until our forces were dispersed, and the
last man gone.
There was some guerillo skirmishing. Our
pickets and scouting parties drove them all into
Lawrence, from which place they would not ven
ture. Several of their men were shot, some ten or
twelve prisoners taken, including S. C. Pomeroy
their leader, upon whom was found some interest
ing documents. By these papers the fact was de
veloped, that the secret armed organization of the
Abolitionists extended through Nebraska, lowa,
Illinois, and perhaps other States. They were in
daily expectation of some fifteen hundred men from
lowa, and when Pomeroy was taken, he was on his
wav to lowa, to haston the march of these men.
With others, I volunteered to guard the house of
Gen. Clarke, which had been threatened; and the
demonstrations made by armed Abolition
ists in the immediate vicinity, were so pressing,
that Gen. C.’s family left for Missouri; hut before
the campaign was over, these men were glad
enough tii take shelter in Lawrence. In the mean
time the house was converted into a garrison, and
strict descipline was enforced, with guards out all
night. On the night of the 7th, when it was known
that Clarke, had gone to the Wakarusa camp, three
men rode up to the house, was hailed by our party,
and not answering, was fired into, they returned
the fire and rode of—-all in the dark—no'one hurt of
our party.
I never saw men keener for a fight than ours were
—all they wanted was to lie led to Lawrence, and
it required the utmost skill of the Governor, and the
field officers to get them away after (he settlement.
1 am satisfied that our cause could not have been in
better hands, but I am still better satisfied, that
unless the people of the South come to their aid,
our cause is lost, and the finest country on the face
of the globe will have to he abandoned to a band
of reckless fanatics. This is, indeed, a lovely
country; the fertility of the soil, as a general thing,
exceeds all other countries that I have seen or read
of. Timber is scarce, but believed, by those who
seem to have experience in such things, to he suf
ficient by an economical management. From this
place, through the Shawnee reserve up to Lawrence,
Douglas and Lecompton, and all around that re
gion, there is, undoubtedly, timber enough. The
country immediately around Lecompton surpass
es all.'
Men who have tried it, and others who claim to
understand it, say that slave labor pays better
here than in any other part of the South ; and J
am inclined to think so. 1 hope old Georgia will
send her quota out early in the spring. Navigation
will be open in March, and travelling cheap from
St. Louis. H.
Congressional Proceedings.
Tit IKTY-FOURTH CONORKS8 —FIRST SUSS I OX.
HOUSE.
Washington, Dec. 28. —Mr. Seward submitted
the following resolution:
Whereas it is apparent, under the existing dif
ferences of opinion in the House, that no organiza
tion thereof can be effected without some effort to
unite all that agree on the doctrine of non-inter
vention as asserted in the Kansas and Nebraska
act—viz: that the people of the Territories shall
be left perfectly free to regulate their own domes
tic policy; and whereas it is indispensable to effect
an organization that all differences of opinion oil
other questions should be postponed without com
promise or concession on the part of any member
voting for this resolution: be it
Resolved, That William A. Richardson bo chosen
Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the
Thirty-fourth Congress.
He stated that he introduced the resolution tor
the purpose, if possible, of embodying the senti
ments of members in regard to the doctrine of non
intervention, and for the purpose of relieving mem
bers of the American party from what they consider
an insult in regard to their peculiar position on col
lateral issues outside of the doctrine of the Nebraska
Kansas act. He thought that if national conserva
tive men were in the majority they ought to elect a
Speaker; that the American party, which claimed
to be national, agreed with the democratic party on
the principle of non-intervention ; they could t ote
for his resolution without compromising a single
other principle. There was an irreconcilable differ
ence between the American party and the democrat
ic party so far as other issues were concerned, but
they could postpone those issues and unite upon the
great principle that the people in the Territories be
left free to establish their own domestic institutions
their own way.
In regard to legal questions, he did not think
they were proper to be considered in this House;
that it was the business of the Courts to decide
whether the principle of squatter sovereignty was
recognised in the Nebraska Kansas act, and, also,
whether that act was constitutional. It was the
business of Congress to make laws, and the busi
ness of the Courts to construe them; and if that
law was unconstitutional, they would decide it as
they would all the complicated questions arising
out of it. ;
Mr. Clingman asked the gentleman to modify his
resolution, by adding afier the words, “that the
; people in the Territories be left free to settle their
; own domestic institutions in their own way,” the
j words, “subject to the Constitution of the United
States.”
j Mr. Seward accepted the modification.
| He modified his resolution by striking out of
| the first section of the resolution the words “ that
J the people of the Territories shall be left perfectly
| free to regulate their own domestic policy, in order
: to provide for the difficulty which gentlemen were
j attempting to throw in its way in regard to the
i construction of the Nebraska-Kanaas act. That
' any sensible man must know that a variety of j
; opinions would exist as to the construction of any j
law passed by Congress; and when gentlemen come i
; up here and seek to ask of members their particu
l lar opinions as to the effect of particulars laws it
was evident that as long as that policy was pursued
| they could not harmonize. He, therefore, with
drew that part of the resolution which asserted the !
1 principle of non-intervention, leaving the question !
in regard to the power of the people of the Terri- j
tories to legislate or prohibit slavery in the Terri- |
tories entirely out of the issue, to be settled here- !
after, and at a different tribunal, where it properly i
belonged. He thought it was the duty of those j
who were opposed to the further agitation of the !
slavery question, who desired it to be taken out of
Congress, or, in other words, who wanted the gov- j
eminent to take its hands off that question, to I
come up and say so by voting for the resolution he j
had submitted. The Democratic party did not de- j
sire further agitation upon the subject, and invited !
all who were opposed to it, and who were desirous j
that the Union of these States should be perpetu- !
ated, to meet them upon a common platform, and
declare that the question should be taken out of i
the halls of the national legislature.
After some considerable discussion, Mr. Ssward
withdrew his resolution, as it was obvious the
House would not harmonize on it.

LET US REASON TOGETHER.
HOLLOWAY’S PILLS.
WHY ARE WE SICK?
IT HAS been the lot of the human race to be
weighed down by disease and suffering. HOL
LOWAY'S PIPES are specially adapted to the re
lief of the WEAK, the NERVOtJS, the DELICATE
and the INFIRM, of all climes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Holloway personally su
perintends the manufacture of his'medicines In the
United States, and oilers them to a free and en
lightened people, as the best remedy the world
ever saw' for the removal of disease.
These Pills Purify the Blood.
These famous Pills are expressly combined to
operate on the Stomach, the Liver, the Kidneys, the
Lungs, tlie Skin, and the Bowels, correcting anv
derangement in their functions, purifying the blood,
the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease
in all its forms.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
Nearly half the human race have taken these
Pills. It has been proved in all parts of the world,
that nothing has been found equal to them in cases
of disorders of the Liver. Dyspepsia, and Stomach
Complaints generally. They soon give a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged, and
when all other means have failed.
General Debility, 111 Health.
Many of the most despotic Governments have
opened their Custom Houses to Hie introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this med
icine is the best remedy ever known for persons of
delicate health, or where the system has been im
paired, as its invigorating properties never fail to
afford relief.
Female Complaints.
No female, young or old, should he without this
celebrated medicine. It corrects and regulates the
monthly courses at all periods, acting- in many cases
Ukc* ii charm. It is also the lies! and safest modi
cine that can be given to Children of nil ages, and
for any complaint; consequently no family should
be without it.
Holloway's Fills at, the led remedy known in the
world for the following d-imtm:
Asthma, Bowel Complaints, Coughs, Colds, (’best
Diseases, Costiveness, Dyspepsia, l)iarrh«?s, Debil
ity, Dropsy, Fever and Ague, Female Complaints,
Headaches, Indigestion, Influenza, Inflammation,
Venereal Affections, Worms, of all kinds. Stone and
Gravel, Secondary Symptoms, Inward Weakness,
Liver Complaints, Lowness of Spirits, Piles.
Sold at the Mam-factories of Professor llul
-1.0 w at, 80 Maiden Lane, New Vork, and '44 Strand,
London, by all respectable Druggists and Dealers
in Medicine throughout the United States, and the
civilized world, in boxes, at 25 cents, I'fd cents,
and $1 each.
There is a considerable saving bv taking the
larger sizes.

every disorder are affixed to each box.
