The Democratic majority in the State will be
over thirty thousand.
In the last Congress there waa one Know Noth
ing, J. S. Cap.lisle, from the 11th District, but
this year he is defeated by about one thousand
two hundred votes.
All the delegation to the last Congress were can
didates, except Zedekiah KiDtvELLin the loth Dis
trict, aud Fayettf. McMullen in the 13th District.
There will be a large Democratic majority in
the Legislature.
As an evidence of the defeat of the Know Noth
ings in their strong hold in Virginia, (the city of
Richmond) at the Congressional election in 1855,
the Know Nothing party in Richmond had a ma
■joritv of niatit hundred fnrty thro, votes, and
last fall the Fillmore majority was two hundred
and seventy-nine, but at the election last week the
Democrats have carried the city bv handsome ma
jorities for all their candidates.
The Richmond Enquirer, in its issue of Friday
morning, 2yth May, while recognizing the proprie
ty and force of the principle, “ that the hour of
triumph is the hour of maguanimity,” says :
“ But, however we may wish to indulge in silent
satisfaction, it is unnatural, as it is impossible, to
restrain those irrepressible outbursts of joy, that
spring spontaneously from the heart, when a long
cherished object has been accomplished. We
must, therefore, be pardoned for one stentorian
shout over the victory achieved yesterday by the
opponents of Know Xothingism in the ‘ Gibraltar
of Whiggery.’ It is an event in the political histo
ry of the day, which will be hailed by patriots
with pride and pleasure throughout the length and
breadth of the Union.
“ The beleaguered castle of the enemy, which
has heretofore defied assault, has yielded at iast.
The metropolis of Virginia is no longer under the
van of Know Nothingtsm. Truth has triumphed.
Patriotism has prevailed, and Richmond is re
deemed.
“To the noble old-line Whigs, who, imitating
the example of a worthy son of the gallant Clav,
nobly assisted us in successfully storming the
strongest fortress of Know Nothingism yesterday,
we would extend the right hand of faithful fellow
ship, aud congratulate them cordially on our mu
tual triumph.”
v£TThe Hon. Jere Clemens reached this city
yesterday afternoon on his way home.
Col. John A. Washington lias been, and
continues very ill at Mount Vernon.
The duties levied on a barrel of flour, at
Havana, and at all the ports in Cuba, amount to
$9 85. The duty on corn a fraction over forty
cents per bushel. -
Gen. Wm. Walker, before leaving New' Or
leans, telegraphed to Washington city that he
would proceed to that c ty as soon as’he conve
niently could. Aswe remarked yesterday, we
think it very probable that he will pass though
Augusta on his route to Washington.
'FT" The net amount in the United States trea
sury, subject to draft, is nearly tw’enty-turee mil
lions, of which at New York there is over eleven
millions, at New Orleans three millions, at Phila
delphia two million*, and at the Branch Mint in
Sun Francisco one million and a half.
2*” The steamboat Marengo arrived at Mobile
on the 25th May, from Aberdeen, Miss., with only
one bale of cotton on board. The Captain said that
“ it was entirely too early for the new crop, and he
brought all of the old crop he could find.”
There is a movement in portions of Camp
beli and Fayette counties, looking to the formation
of a new county. At a public meeting held at
Fairburn, on the 28th May, resolutions were passed
expressing the determination “to go into the com
ing contest, for a new county, with their whole
souls, regardless of former party ties.” Another
meeting of the friends of the new county is called
tc meet on the first Tuesday in July.
The Cleveland Banner says: “We have never
seen a better prospect for an abundant wheat crop
than we have seen in lower F.ast Tennessee.”
Origin Or iHE Pendulum.—Galileo, when un
der twenty years of age, was standing one dav in
the Metropolitan Church of Pisa, when he observed
a lamp which was suspended from the ceiling, and
which had been disturbed by accident, swing 1
backwards and forwards. This was a thing so
common that thousands, no doubt, had observed
it before; but Galileo, struck with the regularity
with which it moved backwards and forwards, re
flected upon it and perfected the method now in
use of measuring time by means of a pendulum.
The commissioner of patents, at the request of
the American Guano Company, is distributing
v the transmission at the expense of the recipients ,
parcels of guano from Baker's Islands, in the Pa
cific, with the object of determining its #€ooolllloßl
value as compared with other manures.
Oar Foreign Missions.
Our corps of diplomatic representatives abroad,
consists of ten Envoys Extraordinary and Minis
ters Plenipotentiary, sixteen Ministers Resident or
Charges d Affairs, and two Commissioners, one at
Canton, China, and one at Honolulu, in the Sand
wich Islands. Under the recent diplomatic and
consular bill passed by Congress, the salaries of
this corps of twenty-eight diplomatic representa
tives, amount to more than a quarter of a million
of dollars annually—a large fund of executive
patronage, but altogether inadequate for the pro
per maintenance of our diplomatic intercourse
with foreign nations. It is understood that the
President is besieged by a host of applicants for
foreign missions, and it is equally as w r ell under
stood that nine out of ten of them must, inevita
bly, be disappointed, even if a very general change
is made in our representation abroad. That such
a change is to be made, seems to be generally under
stood, and for ourselves, we trust that this expec
tation will be realized.
There is, in the whole list of incumbents of for
eign missions, but one, whose continuance in office
is demanded by considerations of expediency and
of public interest, and that one is our Minister to
Mexico. Mr. Forsyth has signalized his short term
of service, by an activity and zeal, as unusual as
they are commendable, in seizing upon occasion
to advance the interests of Ins country—the trea
ties which he has negotiated, although objectiona
ble in many respects, are the inception of a cor
rect policy, in reference to Mexico, and his perfect
acceptability to the party which for the next few
years will control the affairs of Mexico, makes it
a matter of public interest that he should remain
at his post, and be entrusted with the important
negotiations, pending with that country.
There are other missions in which there is but lit
tle labor or responsibility, considerable honor, and
very considerable expense, in which no changes
are required. Such are the missions to Berlin,
Stockholm, Venice, Berne, and a few others which
might be mentioned. No public interest requires
the continuance of the incumbents of these mis
sions tu office, but, at the same time, no public in
terest requires that they should be superseded.
They perform the light duties of their offices, and
maintain their dignities, worthily and creditably
to the country, and they have the advantage over
those who would probably be appointed in their
stead, if they are superseded, of familiarity with
their positions, and with their routine of duties.
But, in all the missions to Central and South
America, and the more important ones in Europe
there ought to be a complete remodelling of onr re
presentation, and a complete remodelling can only
be effected by a very general change of the incum
bents.
We do not approve the principle of rotation in
office, when applied to the mere ministerial agents
and employees of the Government. There is
uothing in which we have departed so far from the
teachings of those who framed the Constitution,
and inaugurated the government, as in that course
of legislation and construction, by which we have
given to the President the emire control of the
patronage of the General Government. The
power of removal is now abandoned absolutely to
the Executive, independent of the control or reg
ulation of Congress, thereby increasing to an in
definite extent the power of that officer en
abling him to create, at will, as many vacancies,
at an moment, as he may please, and plac
ing at his disposal, a sum of from sixty to eigh
ty millions of dollars, annually, to be employ
ed as he may see fit to employ it. The first
result of this committal of the power of removal
to the President, has been to increase immensely
the number of removals without cause, the Presi
dent being subjected to a pressure, which he could
not resist, and forced to act upon the principle that
“to the victors belong the spoils.” The next re
sult, which is now impending us, is the vacating
of the entire civil list once in every four years, to
be filled again by the Executive, under the prin
ciple of rotation in office—a principle which has
neither reason, authority or precedent to sustain
it, aud which, if it is ever recognized and acted
upon, will demoralize the entire population of this
country, and finally enable some ambitious, bold
Executive to concentrate all power in his own
bands, and rule with despotic sway.
"Rnt in reforonco tu tilts diplomatic* repreoentft
tions of the country abroad, there is no reason
why they should not be “ rotated” out of office at
the incoming of each administration—at least
there are many reasons why they should be. They
are not mere ministerial agents, in fact, whatever
they may be in theory. They exercise important
functions and are controlled very frequently,
not by positive instructions, but by their own
feelings and opinions. They are in fact a part of
the Administration, and the same considera
tions which make it, not only proper but
necessary, that the President should have the
selection of his Cabinet advisers, make it proper
and necessary that he should have the selection of
those who are to represent him and the country
abroad. The success of the foreign policy of an
administration depends perhaps as much upon the
harmonious composition of its diplomatic corps,
as its whole success depends upon the unity of its
Cabinet, and on this account each incoming Presi
dent, ought to have the resignations of all incum
bents of foreign missions in his pocket, so that he
may be free to select from them and from the coun
try at large, the material which suits him. It is
understood that with two or three exceptions, none
of our representatives abroad, have intimated a
desire to be relieved, or to relieve the President,
by resigning, and the country will not complain if
a majority of them are made to “rotate.”
The Administration has, doubttess, a certain
well defined, consistent, harmonious foreign poli
cy to pursue, with the view to secure certain im
portant results. Let Mr. Buchanan select the
agents best fitted to carry out this policy, without
reference to the fact that certain men are in certain
offices by appointment of his predecessor, or to a
nice ballance in the distribution of executive pat
ronage among sections and States, and his foreign
appointments, wiil be received with the same gen
eral satisfaction with which his home have been.
Real Estate in San Francisco. —As an example
in tbe fall of prices in San Francisco, a corres
pondent writing under date of the 18th of April,
says:
"A certain hotel in this city once leased at
seventy thousand dollars a year, is now let at seven
thousand two hundred dollars, or ten percent, of
the first sum; think to what disasters a man might
be easily led predicating liis movements upon the
first named income. Not far from where I write,
there is a building under lease at thirty dollars per
month, that once paid four hundred dollars a
mouth. But these instances are so common—the
ruin and wreck in real estate long since so general,
that they have ceased to attract notice.”
Letting Down the Aristocracy. —The elegant
Miss Mason, whose father had made a splendid
fortune as an enterprising draper and tailor, ap
peared at this magnificent entertainment in royal
apparel. With that fastidious exclusiveness for
which the latest comers into fashionable circles are
the most remarkable, she refused various oflers of
introduction, as she did not wish to extend the
number of her acquaintances: “her friends were
few and very select.”
The beautiful Miss Taylor, radiant with good
natured smiles, and once well acquainted with
Miss Mason when they went to the public school in
William street together, noticed the hauteur of her
ancient friend, who was determined not to recog
nize one who would only remind her of her former
low estate. But Miss Taylor, the rogue, as clever
as she was pretty, determined to bring her up with
a short turn, and not submit to being snubbed bv
one whose ancestral associations were no better
than her own. Watching her chance when the
haughty voung lady was in the midst of her set,
Miss Taylor walked up,* and with smiles of win
ning sweetness remarked,
have been thinking, my dear Miss Mason,
that we ought to exchange names.”
“ Why, indeed ?”
“ Because my name is Taylor, and my father
was a mason, and your name is Mason, but your
father was a tailor.
There was a scene then, but there was no help
for it. The little Miss Taylor had the pleasure of
•aying a very cute thing, which was soon repeated
in the ears of a dozen circles, and the wits wished
to see her, but the proud Miss Mason bit her lip in
siience.

Bank of Fulton.
The Atlanta Intelligencer of 2nd instant, says:
“ This institution, being now firmly established
in the confidence of the people of the surrounding
country, wishing to increase its business, opened
its books a few days since for further subscriptions,
since when, three hundred and seventy-nine shares
of stock have been taken, making in all two thou
sand one hundred and four shares, of one hundred
dollars each, of which fifty per cent, has been paid
in.
“Pursuant to a previous notice, tbe stockholders
of the institution met yesterday for the selection of

“A. W. Stone, J. 1. Whitaker, E. W. Holland,

Washington, May 30.—Surgeon Caldwell, at
tached to the sliip Independence, under date Pa
nama Bay, May Bth, has unofficially advised the
navy department that he has been informed there
is a practical route for a ship canal from Gulf San
Miguel, Rio Savana to Puerto del Principe, a few
miles above which place the tide ebbs, thence
about North bv East over a low ground to Caledo
nia liaijor, a little North of it. That the whole
country is low, well wooded and watered, and
abounds in game, and that a small party can cross
from the Garana to the Atlantic ocean aud return,
making a path or road as they go, in less than ten
davs, without fear of the Indians or disease.
l)r. Caldwell having obtained leave of Commo
dore Mervine, hastily explored the route, and re
ports the summit level on the route, from Principe
northerly to the Atlantic, and that it is within
eight miles of the Sarana, and would not prove in
superable to engineering skill in constructing a
ship canal.

OBITUARY.
Died in Aiken, S. (’., May 14th, 1857, Mrs. Rachel M.
Barbee, in tbe forty-fifth year of her age.
Seldom are we called upon to mourn the loss of one more
tenderly loved, or more deeply regretted, than this estimable
lady. A native of Charleston, S. C„ ami deeply Imbued with
all those generous and distinctive traits of character, for which
the daughters of her native city arc proverbial, she came.it
seems but yesterday, like a rav of light, so benign an iniiueuce
did she exert, to reside in our midst; and during the brief so
journ of a few years, had gathered around her many warm and
devoted friends.
Her illness, though exceedingly painful, was also protracted,
and long before her dearest friends knew the cause ol her mala
dy, had made fearful inroads upon her constitution. Her suf
ferings, though excruciating, were borne with fortitude and
cheerfulness, and with a meek resignation to the will of her
Maker, that gave perfect assurance of the Christian, and made
apparent to her friends, that though they sustained an irrepara
ble loss. Heaven had gained an additional attraction.
Even amid her greatest sufferings, forgetful of seif, our dear
friend was constantly bestowing that comfort upon those around
her couch, which she seemed so much to require ; and while
her feeble frame was racked with pain, her countenance beamed
with smiles of hope, and her voice was raised to cheer the droop,
ing hearts of the loved “home circle”—but the domestic hearth
is lonely and deserted, and a fond husband and children mourn
over tlie desolation. The cheerful voice that brought happiness
and joy to their home and to their hearts, will tic heard there
no more; she sleeps the quiet sleep of death, and sweetly slum
bers amid the loved and remembered scenes of tier childhood :
!l« grwvo Is tudoivad V.y tho toms of the fIKUIUs "1 llllr VOUth,
and her bright spirit has winged its flight to her Father In
Heaven.
Then mourn her not, ye stricken ones,
For she Is hovering now,
An angel ’round the Saviour’s throne,
With white, and jewelled brow.
She raises now her seraph voice.
In honor to the Lamb,
And tunes with melody, tlie harp
She hears within her hand.
She waits in glory those she loved,
And beckons them to come.
To join in lasting sodes of praise,
Around her Father's throne.

We find the Records in the offices of the Ordinary, Superior
and Inferior Courts, kept in a neat and faithful manner, re
flecting much credit to the present incumbents of those offices.

miie Station, Central railroad, by Hollin's Bridge, in bad order,
not having been worked; the road leading from Waynesboro’
to the Ninety-five mile Station, In bad order; the road leading
from Waynesboro’ to Alexander, and from Waynesboro' to

over Rocky Creek, in had condition. Noali Smith’s Bridge
over Rocky Creek, on the road leading from Walker's Bridge
to Louisville, in bad order; the bridge over Brier Creek, known
as Pughesly’s Bridge, in very bad condition. The roads and
bridges in genera! in bad condition, requiring immediate atten
tion.
We have examined the Poor School list, and find over tnree
hundred children entitled to its benefits. We And the present
rate of taxation insufficient to educate this number, and as
there are outstanding claims yet unpaid, we recommend a tax
of 15 per cent, for poor school purposes. The receipts for 1856
we And to be $1,204 06, vouchers, $1,194 20; the balance in
the hands of the Treasurer is $45 23. We find an account ren
dered in, but not paid, which w» recommend to he paid, for

We are much pleased with the arrangements adopted by the
Justices of the Inferior Court, in issuing bonds upon which the
funds have been raised to pay for the building of our Court
House, the amount of which we find to be $12,000, payable by
1562, and commend the policy that has been adopted in levying
a tax of too per cent., feeling confident that the amount raised
therefrom will be sufficient to meet the ordinary expenditures
of the County, the claims of the poor, and allow 15 per cent,
for educational purposes, and if continued in will redeem the
bonds in the time they fall due.
We commend the manner in which the ISuliding Committee
has discharged its duties, and only suggest that the seats In the
Court room, oa which we sit, he cushioned, and that our Room
be furnished with hat racks and spittoons.
In taking leave of His Honor, Judge Wm. W. Hoi.t, we beg

above all others. Its strengthening and invigorating effect up.
ou a debilitated system is truly astonishing. Its tonic action
on the liver, its tendency to drive all humors to the surface,
thereby cleansing the system from all impurities, is what has
gained from these Bitters such an enviable reputation, inas

are In general use as a family medicine wherever known. For

with the advantages of youth.
There can be no doubt that it Is one of the greatest discove

A DysiK'pHc Cured by Oxygenated Bitter*.—Let
ter from F. T. Wallace :
Palmer, July 1, 1851.
Sir: It Is to me a source of infinite pleasure to be able to bear
testimony from personal experience to the great value of the
Oxygenated Bitters.
I began to be afflicted in 1544 with Catarrh, and the difficulty
increased rapidly until December, 1850, producing in the course
of that period Asthma. The accumulation of mucus on the
lungs was such, that I could not breathe when in a horizontal
or reclining posture; and many nights during the last two years
I enjoyed no sleep, except what I could get walking my room.
My breathing during the day was indescribably distressing.
My attention was brought to the consideration of the Oxy
genated Bitters by the Hon. Myron Lawrence, who at that
time was rejoicing in the emancipation of his own lungs, from
a twenty years bondage, by the use of your medicine. I pur
chased four bottles of your Bitters. I have not yet used the
whole, and I believe I am cured.
I meet persons almost daily, to whom I recommend it, hav
ing faith that they also can be healed.
Very respectfully,
FREDERICK T. WALLACE.

IS?" Inhalation in Consumption Bronchitis La.
RYNGITIS, and other Diseases of the Chest and Throat, sue
cessfuliy treated by the inhalation of vapors and Powders, by
absorption and constitutional treatment, as practiced at tBo
Stuvesant Medical Institute, New York City.
The unprecedented success which has attended the method
of treating diseases of the Lungs and Throat, has induced us to
depart from our usual course, and avail ourselves of the columns
of the Press, in order to bring it to the knowledge of such as
may be laboring under, or predisposed to such affections The
dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for the consump
tive ; the doctrine of the incurability of Consumption having
passed away. Wc have indubitable proofs in our possession
THAT CONSUMPTION IN ALL ITS STAGES CAN BE CUREI. ; in the
first, by tubercular absorption; in the second, by the transfer
mation of the tubercule into chalky and calcareous concretions •
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded to the opin
ions of the past may assert, that even now, Consumption is in
curable, such are behind the age. To all, this great truth must
be apparent, viz: that the medicines inhaled in the form of Va
por or Powder, directly into the Lungs, must be much more
effective than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases '
do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Consumption and
Throat Diseases is, that medicines in the form of Vapor are ap
plied directly totne Lungs where the diseases exist ; the sto
mach is thus left free to aid in restoring health, by administer
ing to it health, life-giving food. There is No case so hopeless
that Inhalation will not reach! The means, too, are brought
within the reach of all; the manner of administering the Va
pors being so simple, that the invalid is never required to leave
home, where the hand of friendship and affection tends so much
to aid the physician’s efforts.
The Inhaling method is soothing , safe arid speedy, and con
slsts in the administration of medicine in such a manner that
they are conveyed into the Lungs in the form of vapor, and
produce their action at the seat of the disease. Its practical suc
cess is destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medical
world, and establish the entire curability of Consumption
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all afflicted with
Lung diseases, to embrace at once the advantages of Inhalation
and no longer apply medicine .to the unoffending stomach I
claim for Inhalation a place ainongst the priceless gifts that
nature and art hath given us, that “our days may be long in
the land,” and as the only ARK OF REFUGE for the Con
sumptive ; a method not only rational, but simple and es-
