ged in the preparation of matter for the consul
cion of the Convention, calls were made on sev- !
.1 gentlemen for addresses. Messrs. Speer, of
h, Mi'Mili.vn\ of Habersham, Smith, ol DeKalb,
a art, of Fulton, Weems, of Wilkes, P. H. Ool
it, of Muscogee, and John W. Duncan, of Bald
:i, responded in brief but happy efforts. The Con
ation adjourned, at a late hour, until 3 o’clock
-is evening. This was done that the Committee
twenty-one might reconcile, if possible, the
-iflicting views entertained iu regard to the iu
•:ruetion which the delegates to the Cincinnati
mention should receive. It is understood that
.-vend gentlemen of the Committee were in favor
: the expression of a decided preference for the
■ nomination of President Pierce, while others ,
. .light it improper to do so. On this point alone
division occurred. The resolutions were re
ined to the meeting this afternoon, by Dr. Jf.tkk,
• Marion, and supported by him in an able speech,
ibe position taken by the meeting of the sth of
• i. mber lasi, is affirmed, and re-assumed by the
invention.
The del gates are directed to urge the National
m ention to incorporate them iu substance, in
National Platform, and if it should refuse so
•b, to withdraw from the Convention. The Con
ation expresses, not only in the resolutions re
nted by the Committee, but in a separate one of
• red by Mr. Spaulding, of Mclntosh, and sub.se
lently agreed to its gratitude to General Pierce,
■ ih-- manly discharge of bis duties as President,
rue delegates are left untrammelled to vote for the
-st available candidate occupying a proper posi
lion.
Alter ihe adoption of the resolutions, Linton Sth
•hkxs, Esq., " as called for. He addressed the Con
. n t ion with his usual ability, in a strain of burning
iqu nee, scathing satire, and racy humor highly
u ■ Gaining to many, who demonstrated their en
isiasm unmistakably', and to the sad discomfit
•re of others, whose feelings were as fully mani
bv their retreat from the gallery.
The (’ invention adjourned until seven o’clock
- evening, when a grand Democratic and anti-
KdowN otliing Jubilee will be had.

tee was appointed to inform the delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention, from this State, of their ap
j pointment and request their acceptance.
Mr. Jeter, of Marion, Chairman of the Commit
tee of twentv-one offered a report, which he pre
| faced by an eloquent and stirring address. The
Report is as follows :
i Ist. Resolved, That this Convention cordially
; adopt the platform of principles passed by the
! Democratic and anti-Know Nothing party at Mil
ledgeville on the sth of November lush and that
! the delegates appointed by this convention to the
Cincinnati Convention, are hereby instructed to
conform their action to the instructions therein in
dicated.
-nd. Resolved, That while we abate nothing of
our opposition to the seeresv, oaths and proscrip
tion of Catholics and foreigners which characterize
! the Know Nothing Order, we cordially invite all
| our fellow-citizens who agree with us in this oppo
! sition, and who are willing to unite with us on the 1
; resolution of the last General Assembly of the
j State of Georgia, upon the Kansas-Nebruska bill, 1
irrespective of past political associations, to co-op
j erate with us in maintaining the Constitutional
i rights of the South upon the question of slavery.
3d. Jit solved, That the last annual Message of
j President Pierce meets, as it deserves, the unquali
fied approbation of this Convention, and that we
j adopt it as setting forth the correct doctrine in re
lation to foreign and financial policy of the United I
■ States, and the true theory of our Government, I
| and that the thanks of this Convention are especi- j
j ally due him for the fearless expression of his !
i opinions in regard to the subject of slavery; and
i while we have cause to apprehend that his upright j
discharge of duty will excite a more active and
unscrupulous hostility on the part of the enemies
of the public tranquility, lie has thereby doubly |
endeared himself to the true men of the South and
to the lovers of Constitutional equality throughout
the Union.
j fth. Resolved, That this Convention deems it i
. due to its convictions of justice to declare, that, as i
i decided as our preference is, we construe the 9th j
Resolution of the Platform propounded by the i
Democratic and anti-Know Nothing Convention of
the stb of November last, as restricting us in the
expression of that preference for anv particular in
dividual for President of the United States: And
' be it further Resolved, That while we are unwilling
to embarrass the action of the Democratic Conven
| tion, by directing the vote of the State to be cast j
; in favor of any particular individual, we can not j
refrain from giving expression to the general sen
timent of admiration and of gratitude which the j
| people of Georgia entertain towards our present
Chief Magistrate; that the State of Georgia would i
hail with unbounded satisfaction and entire confi
! deuce the re-nomination of Franklin Pierce to the |
! office of President of the United States : Provided I
: He shall staud pledged to carry out the Principles j
of our Platform in his admistration and in his ap- i
pointments to office.
sth. Resolved, That the people of Georgia are
1 bound in honor—in self defence, and in self pres- j
j ervution, to staud by the Constitutional rights of j
pro-slavery tnen in Kansas, and we appeal to our ;
! brethren of the Southern States, to rally aud nil- j
ly without loss of time, in defence of the cause of ;
slaveholders in the Territory, which is the cause of
the whole South.
6th, Resolved, That this Convention most cordi
! ally approve the course of those of our Represen- j
tailves in C. mgress who have steadfastly adhered ’
to Wm. A. Richardson for Speaker of the House;
they have thereby manifested their devotion” to
the principle that Congress has no power to legis
late Slavery into any State or Territory, nor to ex
clude il therefrom, but to leave the people thereof
perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic !
institutions in their own way, subject only'to the 1
i Constitution of the United States.
Ith Resolved, That a Convention of the Demo
cratic and anti-Know Nothing party of this State ;
1 be held in the Capitol at Milledgeville on the 4th
of Julv next i* take into consideration the action
: of the National Conventtion and to adopt such
measures as may be necessary in relation thereto.
bth. Resolved, That a Centra! Committee be ap
pointed by the President of this Convention, to [
consist of five, whose duty it shall be to select an i
Orator, and make the necessary arrangements for
said Convention, nnd also to represent generally
the interests of the party.
9th. Resolved, That in the event any delegate to
the National Convention is unable to attend the
same, he D hereby empowered to appoint his sub
stitute, and should he fail to make such appoint
• ment, a majority of the delegates may do so.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted. j
Resolved, That the thank.-, of this Convention are j
■ hereby tendered to Dr. Tomlinson Fort, for the able
i and impartial manner in which he has presided
' over the deliberations of this body, and also to the
Vice-Piv sidents of the same, and our thanks are
also conveyed to the Secretaries for their services :
to the Convention.
The Convention was then ably and eloquently
i addressed by the Hon. Linton Stephens.
The Convention adjourned to 7 o’clock, )’. M.
As the business of the Convention has been trims- I
acted, and the 7 o’clock session is merely for the
purpo.-e of bearing several gentlemen speak, we
shall not delay ihe Extra longer. We vouch for .
the correctness of the above proceedings.
Walkkr County jG.v.j Election. From a pri
vate source, we learn that the Democracy of Walk
er, have again been victorious, in spite of the
boasted bra'gadocia of the Know Nothings. The
Walker Democracy walked right up and elected
every man, for the county offices, and elected them
bv largely increased majorities. The following
■ are the gentlemen elected: James Hoge, Ordinary;
John Dickson, Clerk of Superior Court; James ft.
Rogers, Clerk Inferior Court; Thomas F.vatt,
; Sheriff'; Hiram T. Gill, Tax Receiver; Jas. T.
Deck, Tax Collector ; Sam. Thatcher. County Sur
veyor; William Duke, Coroner. All purely Demo
cratic. Chattanooga Advertiser.

Messrs. Crandall A Cooper —Dear Sirs: Ac
i cording to mv promise, 1 give you the result of our
; late countv election, which was a triumph worthy
the principles of the Democracy. Know Nothing
ism tried every plan and device that trickery could
invent to elect their ticket, but they failed in all
except in Clerk for Ordinary—Z. O’Neal was elect
-1 ed by six votes. They pulled and hauled and used
everv exertion they were master of to defeat K. S.
Rogers, for Clerk of Superior Court, but without
, effect. It is true there were personal reasons, that
i made it impossible for some to support A. Street,
1 for Sheriff, though he is a Democrat. But from
i this time, the Democrats will bo for tlie man that
is run by the Democratic party. There was more
' excitement than has been since Folk’s election.
1 The following are the elected. L S. Rogers for
Clerk of Superior Court, seventy-one majority ; A.
J Street, Sheriff, seventeen majority; J. A. Heart
' line. Tax Collector, ninety-one majority; J. G.
Holmes, Countv Surveyor, fortv-hve majority;
N.iah Killian. Clerk of Inferior Court—no opposi
tion; Z. O’Neal, Clerk of Ordinary, six majority.
1 \ll Democrats except O Neal. Hereafter, Dade
f will make a clean sweep: things are working finely
, for the battle next fall. Yours, truly,
i Democrat.

The cold filled twelve sections of the circle. The
term was immediately preceded and succeeded by
b rain. The temperature on Thursday, the 13th, at
T JF. M., was at -40° above zero, and next morning
}~ at sun rise was at zero—a fall of 41" iu nineteen
IC hours, and one of the most extraordinary changes
T - noted in the United States the prssent century.
,e Tiie 19th was known as "the cold Friday." I was
r b in a camp in a Northern forest at that time. The
[ b snow was six feet deep, and the mercury to the
'• thermometer solid. All the night of the 18th, the
e‘- trees in the forest kept up a continual detonation,
1 " like the discharge of volleys of musketry, crack
ing and splitting with sudden aud great change ;
and the ice of a neighboring lake, about midnight.
S. was burst from one extremity to the other by the
cold, producing a crack of miles in length. The
il- sound front this rupture was ilke the discharge ol
heavy ordnance continued, and the ground was
J. vtole'utlv shaken for a great distance. Many trees
were killed by the frost.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL
OF THE STEAMSHIP
ERICSSON.
New York, Jan. 10th.—The steamer Ericsson
has arrived from Havre, with dates of the Soth ult.
Piedmont was preparing another corps of ten thou
sand men for the Crimea. A rumor was exciting
the European capitalists, to tne effect that Russia
and the United States had concluded an offensive
aud defensive alliance in case of war between the
United States aud England. It has grown out of
the fact that Russia has sent to this country the
draught of a treaty of commerce and amity.
Further by the Atlantic.
New York, Jan. 14th.—Dates from the Crimea
to Dec. 11th, state that the severe weather had put
an effectual stop to operations. The banks of the
Tchemaya were still overflowed. M vrshal Pelis
sier had notified the government that no milita
ry success was possible from his present base of !
operations, and a Council of War had been called
in Paris to decide upon the plan of the spring
campaign. The Russians continue to fire steadily
from the north side of Sebastopol, but the allies I
do not return the fire. All the British cavalry had !
arrived at Scutari from the Crimea.
A French camp of thirty-four thousand men was \
about to be established at Cherbourg, and one of |
twenty thousand at Brest, which would be held in i
readiness for operations along the Baltic next
spring.

New \ oitK, Jan. 15th.—the steamer Empire
City has arrived with $1,200,000 in gold.

Washington, Jan. 15th.—No Speaker has yet
; been elected. Mr. Millsox gave notice that he
should not hereafter feel bound to the action of the
Democratic caucus, but should give his vote where
it would be most effectually felt.
Washington, January 16. — Messrs. Boyce, Me- j
Queen and Kkitt, of S. C., have abandoned Rich- j
arosox. One unsuccessful ballot was had for
Speaker.

and was drowned. He was en route, with his wife, ;
who is in delicate health, to St. Augustine. He j
had in his pockets about S3OO- his all -leaving I
his wife perfectly destitute. Every effort was made J
to recover the body, but proved unsuccessful. A i
collection was immediately set on foot, and SSO I
were raised for his i»erea\ed wife.
Savannah- Georgian, Jan. 17.
Common Sense Views.
Commenting upon the protracted contest for j
Speaker in the House, the New Orleans Bulletin, a |
W big paper, gives utterance to the following j
views, which cannot fail to strike the reader as i
sensible and jti»t:
"We take it for granted, that with Southern men, i
the candidate of the Republicans is out of the |
question ; upon no consideration will a member of
Congress from a slave Slate dare to cast his vote
for Banks. The only choice, as far as they are
concerned, is between Richardson and Fuller; and
who shall yield, the greater to the less or the less
to the greater V Is it more reasonable that Rich
ardson with his seventy-five votes should come
over to Fuller, or that Fuller with his thirty-four
should go over to Richardson ?
There is but one great issue that now divides j
the House in its present disorganized state; and j
there are only two grand classifications recognized j
—Nebraska aud uuli-Nebraska meu ; for, vve take ;
it for granted, that, for the present at least, the ;
question of nativism is held in abeyance. The an- ;
ti slavery party is a generic party, composed of
Fusion Whigs, Freesoii Democrats and Northern ■
Know Nothings. With them, the Nebraska ques- |
tion overshadows all others. On this issue. Banks :
is their champion ; as is Richardson the exponent j
and champion of the pre-slavery men. The ques- |
tion being narrowed down to this point, it seems j
to us tlyere is uo longer occasion to hesitate for 1
those who are compelled to choose between them, j
If voting for a Democrat be a bitter pill for the old
line Whigs and Know Nothings to take, it is a !
thousand times more nauseous dose to swallow a
i Democrat and Freesoiler combined, as in Banks
for Fuller is, in sporting phrase, no where in the
race.”
