The .Mock Election Yesterday.
Mob law again reigned supreme over tiie city of !
New Orleans yesterday. From the tone of'the
Know Nothing press, and from the conversation of
i. u of respectability who belong to the Know
V .thing party, we were in hopes that the election !
■ul<l have passed olf in a peaceable and orderly
natiuer. We, in common with most of Democrats
were much disappointed.
The paid and salaried bullies of the Know Xoth
:ig party, armed to the teeth, began earlv in the (
morning going in gangs of twenties and thirties
h nt one precinct to au..tlu*r_ In some instances
•>- many as ten carriage loads were counted in one j
' I'tad. W hero they found themselves in the com
plete and undisputed possession of the polls thev j
passed un to another prescind -where thev dill ,
n .t they left just as many of their ruftiaulv band ;
they thought necessary.
Whenever a naturalized citizen offered to vote, '
e> eiy possible impediineut was thrown in the wav, i
an.l in repeated instances as the oath was being I
tendered to voters they were seized by the collur
or the hair, drugged awav from the polls, beaten ; j
kicked and otherwise insulted. There was no .
safety for imv Democrat at more than half the polls !
at ten o’eloefc, A. M. At twelve o’clock, there was
not a single precinct which was not in full posses- :
of Know Nothing bullies. Alter two o’clock
it is doubtful whether there were fen Democratic *
voles polled ill the entire city. For a Democrat to ! I
offer to vote after that hour would have been to 1
put his life in useless jeopardy.
I lie Democratic ticket stands at most of the 1
j.ivciu. Is were destroyed by radians as often as *
they were set up, and many of the precincts ull : !
tiie Doinoeraiie tickets were stolen.
\t the l.leveuth Preeiuct, front the best reports we ■ j
. ..11,1 gat tier, 1111 assault was made upon Mr. Joseph
I noi- and Mr. Bernard Avegno, when a Sicilian, 1
nun unknown, armed with acullas, interfered in 1
'i ir defence. Mr. Trepaguier, Clerk of the First ’ 1
ilistriet Court, arrived at this moment, seized the , >
-i ill ail and threw him down, hut he iustuutlv *
to his feet, grappled Trepaguier around the '
when they toil together the Sicilian stale j *
;i.j iittii as thev tell. I’ltev arose ami grap-
I, I again, and fell in the same manner, the
1, 11| 0ll repealing his thrusts until lie had slabbed s
Ti. paguier four or live times.
Meantime several shots from revolvers were
I tli.' Sicilian, some four or live of which '
effect upon Trepaguier. After the latter <
i. filially fallen, it is supposed mortallv wounded, \
.1. the Steiliau nourished his cutlass around, and
having driven hack the crowd for a few feet, lie
.oi away bleeding from many wounds, and suc
■•■l.-d in making his escape. c
Whether the Sicilian ran in that direction or i
net tiie Know Nothing crowd rushed down on the t
Marine Hotel, oil the Ijeveo opposite to the
i .wer Market. They went to the door of a room *’
in the second story, which was locked, burst it in
ml killed two men, supposed to In 1 Sicilians bv t
heeling and stabbing. The cuts and stabs on y.
, el' the bodies were nearly a hundred in mini „
1 In* Sicilians badnetlell llie bouse during
tl. ■ ineriiing. It was an aei of mere brutal in- v
sane fury the most horrible that lias ever oe- >
. ined in this city. • : f
\hoiit one o’clock a large gang of Know Noth
ings, mil less than seventy-live in number, came
hack to the Eleventh Precinct. Thev found the
j. .ils closed, and when they learned how the voting *
i. el been up to tli.-time of the affray, they raised ti
. loud shout. One of the gang then inouiiled a |
table, and made a short harangue. Another veil
from the crowd t. A minute afterwards nil old
frenchman, whose name we did tint learn, wlm
was standing quietly by, was struck several times n
mice with the leg of a table, once with a large t!
hickory cane, and at last was knocked down with j
a piece of plank about eight feet long, in the
hands of a young man of about twentv-two or
three. lie was insensible, and was unable to ri
i old tor a long time aft -wards.
After this deed of chivalry, the Knights of tint j
I.intern raised the cry "For the Sixili Ward!”
and tiled off in about the same number with which .
they had come.
But we are wearv ol chronicling these acts of *
assassination, brutality and outrage. Armed and I
drunken mobs had possession of the polls. There |
was in reality no election at all. I „
About one o’clock Mayor Lewis published the ].
following proclamation : i j-

We learn that a dreadful tight occurred at Fitts- j
borough. Chatham county, alt.sit a fortnight ago, j
between a partv of men belonging to Robinson A j
l l.bed’s circus, and s une citiz-ns of Cbatham, in I
which some of the latter Were dreadfully lieaten, |

~ ,-u and iiierehant, so badly that he is since dead. |
One report states that the cireus men were bailed; |
a anther that four of them were in jail.
It is said that the difficulty in this case grew out j
of the miseondu.-t of a liquor dealer of Chatham, j
and that the circus men were not so much to blame ]
as tb.-v generally are.
Th.. People will Fruxisn Him with i Hall.
Tli. following prophetic paragraph appeared in
tno New 1 ork -loarnal of Cotninerce ot the issue
of April 2*’>:
“The Know Nothing Councils of Philadelphia
havet . fused the use of the Hall of Independence
fa the reception of the Hon. James Buchanan.
Nevermind; the people will furnish him a hall,
aft.-r the 4th of March next, which will he ‘siitli
ci"tit lor all practical purposes.’ ”
The Cincinnati Tim, - Know Nothing) explains
that Mr. l-iLLMoiit: signed the fugitive slave law,
not b.-catis.- lie approved it, but because the Whig
party was opposed to vetoes. It savs :
” 1 he simple tact that Millard Fillmore signed
the fugitive slave law is no proof that he is in fa
vor ol slavery, however strongly it may he urged
against him hv Abolitionism or its advocates.
Will those who endeavor to construe that act to
his disadvantage remember the fact, that m the
election by which he was declared President of
this Union. the one man veto power was a main
issue, and in repudiation of that power he was
chosen. Tiie fugitive slave law came before him
for bis signature after it had passed both houses oi
t'ongros, bearing by such passage the sanction of
the will of a majority of the people of the Knifed
Stales bv their representation, and upon no other
. rounds'than its constitutionality could he have
withheld bis signature. It was signed, and the
fact that lie affixed bis name to it as President ol
die Kuion, is no more proof of pro-slavery pro
clivity than that he entertains Abolition senti
ments. As an opponent of the one man vetop.nv
et, an issue in Ins election, and made so by the
party to whom be owed his election, be could not
do otherwise, so long us the sanctity of the Con
stitution was not infringed upon
Black Kepublieau Estimates.
The New Turk Tribune, in its estimates of the
result of the November elections for President,
does not seem to regard Mr. Fillmore's prospects
at all, unless he considers him the available candi
date for the anti-Nebraska States. It is well, at all
times, to know the views of the opponents of the
Democratic party.
When the result of the campaign is known it
is very probable the Black Republicans and north
ern Know Nothings will exclaim, with as much
wonder as the Xetherland minister, “mvc*odness
vat a peoples!”
The following, from the New York Tribune, the
leading organ of the Black Republicans, makes a
calculation of the chances of success. We give it
j that our readers ntay understand the expectations
of our most formidable opponents :
“ 1 11 * Brospscts of the Presidential Campaign.
In our view, the selection of candidates is an
j eminently practical business. We must not begin
j by imagining that the battle is won, mad teat wc
have only now to distribute atid rightly apportion
! " the spoil of victory.” Wc must choose men who
will attract to our ranks voters who are not til
, ready with us, and not repel auv who are. We
s have to consider that, of the two hundred and
ninety-six Electoral votes, a full third will be
: against us any how, and that of all that remains
wo must carry three-fourths, or be beaten. Let us
take a look at the figures :
; Anti-Nebraska. Nebraska.
States. Elec. Votes. States. Elec. Votes.

“This Seems to us us favorable an estimate ns
existing facts will warrant—far more than an op
ponent could be expected to concede. We believe
there is this day an anti-Douglas majority in caclat
Ot the States we have placed in the anti-Nebraska
column, provided it can be concentrated and call
ed out; but it will not bear division. We shall
then need thirty-live electoral votes from the doubt
ful list, that is to say, we need the votes of Penn
sylvania and Indiana (40) or Pennsylvania and Il
linois ior those of New Jersey, Indiana, Illi
nois and ( 'aliloiuia (85) or those of Delaware, In
diana. Illinois and Missouri (3ti) to elect. If we
eauiiot carry, with hardly an exception, the States
set down in our first column, we are beaten of
course. If we can carry them, we must select
candidates who can carry thirty-live votes out of
the doubtful list.
The Oldest Delegate.—A New York paper
says : “ Among the delegates from New York to
Cincinnati is Major tlem-ral S. t!. Hathaway, of
Courllund county, one'of the oldest delegates to the
(invention, being in his seventy-seventh year. He
voted for Jefferson.
From 1 i vit. The mail from Great Salt Lake
city, arrived at St. Louis on the 2t'dh tilt., bring
ing papers to the -Ji'.lh of March. The Convention
to form a Slate Constitution was making rapid
progress. The Convention met on the 17th ot
March, and on the 24th, the special committee
unanimously reported the “Constitution of the
State of Deseret.” The St. Louis Refoihliran, in
giving this news, remarks: “The State of Deseret
will have her Senators and Representatives knock
ing at the doors of Congress for admission, before
the close of the present Session.
Hopelessly Deranged.- We regret (says the
Louisville Coir'or,) to leant from a gentleman
from Barren county, that the lion. Jamks]G. II vkdv,
Lieutenant-Governor of the State, is deranged, or
rather has sunk into a state of almost mental im
becility. His memory is entirely gone, and his
mind is hopelessly shattered. His physicians,
think he will not recover. Mr. llvnnvltas long
been in bad beaub. During the session of the
Legislature the past winter be was confined to bis
room a large portion of the time. ,
The Democratic National Platform.
In another part of the paper will he found the
Democratic platform complete, as adopted bv the
Convention on the third day. The Cincinnati
/■,',o/nir, r of las! Thursday’s issue says:
“The representatives of the Democratic parly,
now assembled in convention in this city, have
laid down a most glorious and substantial plat- 1
form sound and national in every purl. It is ;
clear and explicit in its phraseology, and relates to
every question now at issue before the people.
Both the general principles of government and
the administrative details that are foreshadow <
ed will meet the cordial approbation of the partv t
and the country ; for they are based upon and ad- (
here strictly to the Constitution. With a bold
ness, courage, and honesty characteristic of the
Democratic organization, there is no subterfuge or i
concealment attempted, hut ils creed is embla- i
zoned upon r.s banner and displayed before the ,
people.
“The convention reaffirms the old and time-hon
ored resolutions of the party, laid down in IS-10,
and adopted at every subsequent convention, i
They have also incorporated in it a distinct ex- ]
presaion of their sentiments in regard to the new
issues that have been raised in recent years. (!p- '
oil the subjects of Know Xotbingism and slavcrv,
particularly, the sentiments of the party are most i
admirably and felicitously expressed, and their I i
reading was frequently interrupted in the Conven
tion bv enthusiastic acclamations. Thev treat
evorv point in controversy, and give utterance, in
the most forcible manner, to the well-understood
Democratic ideas respecting those exciting topics.
They announce the firm determination of the Dem
ocratic partv to maintain inviolate the equal rights
| of the States, and to recognize the equal rights ot
the citizens, and to frown upon all organizations,
secret or open, which make distinctions of birth,
j creed, or section in their government or policy.
“It is with pride and pleasure that we call the
■ attention of the reader to the noble series of reso
lutions, referring to domestic affairs, which were
adopted bv a unanimous vote. Every delegate in
the Convention, and every State in the Union save
New York, ( whose contested-election ease had not
been acted upon,} responded aye to these resolu
tions. New A'ork will undoubtedly come in aye
when her representation is full, and thus complete
: the list. What a glorious testimonial this to the
i nationality of the Democratic party! No other
1 organization can unite half as many States in fa
! vor of its administrative policy. The hearty
. cheering, and the applause which greeted the
adoption of the whole platform, showed that our
organization never before was more thoroughly
united upon its principles, and never spoke in u
more unanimous manner to the country. This
unanimity, where the enemy expected division,
will have a great effect upon the nation, contrast
! 43 ’• docs, with the bickerings and troubles of
! the opposition.
) i “ the Democratic Representatives from the
North, the South, the East, and the West, all lia
! ternize like a band of brothers, and upon their
j platlorm the whole Union can stand in confidence
that the rights of every section and of all im-n are
1 equally secured by it. Our principles are de
‘ dared, and nothing remains for the Convention
hut to find standard-bearers, whose success will
( give practical effect to them in the coming canvass.
, That duty discharged, as it will be in a creditable
| manner, and we are sure that the nation, with a
j unanimity unparalleled, will pronounce in our fa
' vor, and overwhelm the bigoted sectional factions
opposed to us with u well-merited and annihilatin'-
defeat.”

From the Macon, Telegraph, June 9.
lion. J. C. llrei-keuridge.
Mr. Breckenridge comes from a family distin
guished for talent. His grandfather, Hon. John
Breckenridge, was elected to the United States
Senate in Kentucky in 1801. Something of his
standing in his day, may be iuferred from the
ftict, that in 1804, in the party caucus, at Washing
ton, which nominated Mr. Jefferson for the Presi
idency, he received twenty votesforthat high office.
In 1 bos he was appointed by Mr. Jefferson, Attorney
General, which appointment was confirmed and
accepted. Between him and Mr. Jefferson the
most intimate friendship subsisted. His brilliant
career was cut short by death, in tho prime of his
life, before the expiration of the Presidential term.
Air. Breckenridge’s father was the lion. Jos.
Cabell Brackenridge, eldest son of the preceding,
who died in 1524, when perhaps, younger than bis
distinguished sou at this time. But in his brief
hto he highly distinguished himself for his talents
and his virtues. He was successively Speaker of
the House ol Representatives and Secretary of
State in Kentucky. He was an active elder in the
Presbyterian Church, and as eminent for his piety
a3 for his ability. He married a daughter of Dr.
Samuel Stanhope Smith, President of Princeton
College, New Jersey, who yet survives him. His
oldest brother, Dr. John Breckenridge, was re
garded as one of the most amicable of men and
one ot the most eloquent of American preachers.
Ilis surviving brothers. Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breck
enridge, of Danville, and Rev. Dr. Win. Breek
euridge, of Louisville, Kentucky, are among the
first men of the cottnwv and oi’ the age. Their
sister was married to Gen. Peter B. Porter, Secre
tary of War under Gen. Jackson. Several of the
younger members of the family are distinguished
tor their ability and will soon be known to Lite
country.
Mr. Breckenridge was born about the year 1821;
lie graduated with distinction in 1838, at Ceutre-
College, Kentucky, then and still under the Presi
dency of his brother-in-law, Rev. Dr. John C.
Young ; and Is now about thirty-four or thirty-five
years of age. He has no brothers. In the com
mencement of his professional life he went to the
northwest, but soon returned and engaged in the
practice of law in Lcxingtou. In lt>47, he went to
Mexico as Major in a regiment raised under the
second call upon Kentucky for troops, which ar
rived too late to participate in the struggles of the
field. His professional services, however, as coun
sel for Gen. Pillow in the trial in Court Martial,
upon charges preferred by Gen. Scott, gave bun a
distinction which he had no opportunity to win on
the field. Upon the close of the war, he returned
to his practice in Lexington. In 1851 he became
a candidate for Congress in the Ashland district,
so long represented by Mr. Clay, in which he lived,
ami was elected over his competitor, Gen. Leslie
Combs. In 1858, he was re-elected over Ex-Gov
ernor Letcher. While a member of the House he
was appointed by the President Minister to Spain,
but declined the service. At the expiration of his
second term, lie resumed the practice of his pro
fession.
Mr. Breckenndge’s private character (it is be
lieved by the writer) is perfectly untarnished, and
his life without the blemish of the vices which
cleave so much to many of our public men. He is
married and bus an interesting family about him.
His person is highly preposessingand will ever mark
liim as an honorable, high-toned gentleman, lie
has much decision and dignity is unassuming,
yet of impressive presence; and however his poli
tical friends and opponents may differ in the esti
mate of his ability, as compared with his great
kinsman or other statesmen, none will question
that he has the character and talent that will com
mand respect wherever he is placed.
Principles, not Men.— The conclusion of the
leading editorial article in the Nashville Ur,ion of
Tuesday last, is as follows ;
“One thing we predict with the most perfect
certainty all the bickerings they may have will
be over men and not over principUe. They will be
a 'mil on the question of a platform. Democracy
is the same everywhere. Its nationality will se
cure it against any internal feuds upon all the im
portant questions of principle. And therein con
sists its strength and its pride the safety and
stability of the government. Every member of
the (’incinnati Convention might turn Black Re
publican to-morrow, and the Democratic party
would still remain intaet. Its foundation is based
upon the great cardinal doctrines of civil and reli
gious liberty, a strict construction of the Constitu
tion, and the sovereignty of the States. Men are,
therefore, but ils advocates, not its vital part.”

I/gCThe Savannah Republican, of yesterday
says : “ The Supreme Court of Georgia commenc
ed its session in this city yesterday, all the Judges
and officers in attendance. The cases on the dock
et are few and unimportant, and the Court will
probably get through with its labors, and be ready
to adjourn, by this evening.
“At a meeting of the Savannah Mutual Loan As
sociation, held last evening, $4,000 were sold at
the following prices; $2,000 at 10 per cent, and
2,000 at 20 per cent.
“Mr. Chas. W. W. Bit pen was yesterday elected
Teller in the Merchant#’ and Planter#’ Bank of
this city.”
K-if The Federal Union, of yesterday, says :
‘“•His Excellency Herschet, V. Johnson will'de
liver the Anniversary Oration before the Literary
Societies of Oglethorpe University on Commence
ment day, July 23d.”
llow Snips are Named.—Since the last war,
ships of the line in the United States navy arc
named after States; frigates after American rivers;
sloops-of-war after State capitals and other cities ;
brigs after some noted deceased naval comman
der; and revenue cutters after members of the
cabinet. The Collins steamers are named after
oceans and seas, and the Cunardors after countries.
Kaimioad Matters in Mississippi.—The Jackson
Flay of the Union, of the 27th ult., lias the follow
ing article on railroad matters. It will no doubt
be interesting to our readers:
We learn from Mr. Cunningham, the efficient
Superintendent id the V icksburg road, that three
hundred and fifty tons of iron lor the Mississippi
Central railroad has been landed at Vicksburg,
and will be brought out this week. The track
laving on their line from Canton North will be
commenced as soon as the Canton road is open to
convey the iron. Ihe track was laid on Saturday
to within hall a mile ot Canton, and will be com
pleted in a week or ten days for the regular pas
sage ot the Height, and passenger ears.
1 lie Mobile railroad is now completed toScoober,
in Kemper county, one hundred and sixty-seven
miles, whither the cars make daily trips. It is
thought the line will be opened to Columbus ;J>y
the branch road; by the end of the year.
The Mississippi and Tennessee road now makes
daily trips from Memphis to Hernando, and is pro
gressing finely. The Central is open to Holly
Springs, and also progressing southward.
Maj. Roach, the energetic and efficient President'
of iln' southern road, is on a trip to Washington
and the northern cities, to promote the interests of
that company.
Lust, but riot least, we learn that the whole line
from Jackson to Osyka is under contract, and the
work will hi* pushed to completion. A continuous
line tiom New Orleans to Canton, thence bv the '
Central to Memphis, thence to Louisville, with j
connections to < 'harleston, Nashville, and almost I
everywhere else, is among the early certainties, !
and will give a fresh impetus to the prosperity of
all tliis section of country.
Tin: Hemocuatk Nominvtiov. We spoke, on
Saturday last, of Mr. Buchanan's nomination for
the Presidency by the Hemoeratie Convention, lie
was not our first choice ; but this, more from the
position of the prominent candidates in reference
to pending issues, than from nnv objection to him
self with reference to general polities. We have
accepted his nomination with a full confidence
that he will administer the Government in good ;
faith towards all sections of the Union. And he j
is not the less i 'Commended to us bv his conser
vatism and well known moderation of character,
qualities that are not likely to lead him to foster i
and encourage the too prevalent disposition of
our people io interfere, by wild adventure, with j
the a flairs of other nations. The principal nomi- !
nation of the Convention, therefore, is one with i
which we may well be satisfied; for we did not -
allow ourselves, beforehand, to believe that either i
one of the three prominent candidates could sc- j
cure sufficient strength in that body to command j
ils-vote. eVi.irhs/'iH

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.

in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form [■jßfjP
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan 11*9?
tago over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of ihs
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired bv age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Files,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Son-
Eves, Bone Eelons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff front the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentritiec to the teeth. For shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as may he on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap litis proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy us above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like httmbuggery, l
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be the tie
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
