AUGUSTA, GrA.
THURSDAY MORNING, PIC. 1, 1859 ‘
Washington Irving.
We published, yesterday morning, a brief tele
graphic dispatch announcing the death of Wash-
IKOTON Irving, at bis residence upon the banks of
the Hudson, on Monday evening the 28th of No
vember.
The father of Washington Irving was, for many
years a merchant in the city of New York, where
ihe great author was born on the 3d day of April,
1783. He was four years old when the Constitu
tion of the United States was adopted ; and when
a boy six years old, as Griswold states in his
“Republican Court,” was one of the crowd which
stood at the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane,
to witness the inauguration of the tirst President
of the United States. He was destined for the It*
gal profession, and after receiving an ordinary
academic education commenced the study of the
law. When sixteen years old, and after abandon
ing and resuming it, was admitted to the bar when
twenty-three years old. But, Minerva, invitu, he
never practiced his profession, having early exhib
ited inclinations and tastes which unfitted him for
its duties and finally determined him to devote
himself to literary pursuits. Much of his time
after he attained his majority was spent in Europe,
where the majority of the works which have ren
dered his name immortal were prepared and first
published. His first visit to Europe extended from
1804 to 1806. In 1815 he again revisited Europe,
and was absent for seventeen years, three of which
were passed, as Secretary of Legation at the court
of St. James and the rest in travel and in literary
labors ; and in 1842 he was appointed by Presi.
dent Ttler, without solicitation, Minister to Spain
and resided at Madrid, in that capacity until the
summer Gf1846.
Mb. Irving, though he had, according to report,
but little facility in writing, accomplished during
his long life, an immense amount of literary labor,
and was one of the most voluminous authors, as he
was the grealest, which this country has ever pro
duced. After his last return from Europe in 1840,
he published “Oliver Goldsmith,” “Mahomet and
his Successors,” and “The Life of Washington.”
But though these and especially the last, are all
works worthy of his genius, his world-wide repu
tation and great popularity as an author was not
achieved by them or by any of his works published
during the last two decades of his life, but by his
“Knickerbocker’s History of New York,” “Sketch
Book,”“Bracebridge Hall,” “Tales of a Traveller,”
“Columbus,” “Conquest of Granada” and by his
contributions to the Knickerbocker Magazine , all of
which were published when he was comparatively
a young man. His reputation as a master of genial
bumor, true pathos, quiet satire, and an unrivalled
atyle, was established by these productions of his
earlier years, and all his subsequent efforts, have
but served to sustain and strengthen this reputa
tion, which has steadily grown with the lapse oi
years.
Mr. Irving, for several years previous to hia
death, resided at a country seat on the banks oi
the Hudson, twenty-five miles from the city oi
New York, which he called “ Sunny-Side.” Hia
house, built a century or more ago, but added to
and beautified, under his own supervision, stood
on ground which he has rendered classic, over
looking the great Tappaan Zee, and “not far from
the wizzard region of Sleepy Hollow,” as he has
himself expressed it. Willis has described it, its
inmates, its surroundings and its master in one o<
his Letters from Idlewild, almost as delightful as
Irving’s sketch of Walter Scott and Abbotsford
There, with the glorious river before him, whicl
he declared was his first and only love amonj
rivers, surrounded by friends and kindred, and bj
the scenes of his early youth, with an assumed am
world-wide reputation, he quietly waited the sum
mons which has called him hence, and died, horn
ored above all men in the Union, and beloved bj
thousands, who have never kmiwn him, except ir
his works.
m- The counties were called in the House o
Representatives for the introduction of bills, or
last for the last time. No new matter car
be introduced now, except by a two-thirds vote ii
favor of the introduction. The whole number o
bills originating m the House is about five hun

COMMUNICATED.
Democratic meeting.
Lexington, Nov. 28, 1859.
In response to the action of the Democratic cau
cus, held on the twenty-first instant, at Milledge
ville, a portion of the Democracy of Oglethorpi
met to-day, In the Court House, for the purpose o
considering the propriety of the call, and taking
some action in regard thereto.
The meeting was organised by calling Dr. J. S
Sims to the Chair, and Wu. M. Smith to act ai
Secretary.
Dr. Z. P. Landrum arose and explained the ob
ject of the meeting, concluding with a move that i
committee of nine be appointed by the chairman
for the purpose of giving some expression of opfn
ion in regard to the action we wish our Represent
atives in the Legislature to take in the deliberation!
of the convention proximating. When up >n, t! i
chairman appointed the following gentlemen ti
discharge that duty: Dr. Z. P. Landrum, J. I)
Matthews, S. Harris, J. R. Leftwick, H. A. Hayes
C. C. Hammock, S. B. Collins, J. Callawav, anc
H. Cox.
The committee then retired, drafted, and sub
mitted the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, A convention of the Democratic part)
has been called by the members of our Legislature,
to meet at Milledgeville, on the Bth of Decembei
next, for the purpose of selecting delegates to
represent the Democracy of Georgia in the ap
proaching Presidential Convention, at Charleston
and whereas, a sufficient length of time has not
been allowed to secure a full expression of the
voice of the people touching this matter, we, a por
tion of the Democracy of Oglethorpe, deem it ex
pedient that we should express fully our opinions
with regard to the action to be taken in said con
vention, by the delegation we may this day choose
to represent us. Therefore,
Rtsolv d, That the perilous stata of our Union,
resulting from the conflicting opinions of pol
ticians North and South touching the institution
of slavery, demands for its protection and future
preservation a ruler of ability, integrity, firmness,
conservatism, and unfaltering devotion to the Con
stitution of our fathers.
Resolved, That the political life of the Honor
able Howell Cobb has unfolded to the country
those striking qualifications for this position id a
degree unsurpassed bv an v one, who aspires for it
and, believing as we do, that his superior
trative ability, his high conservative position
united with the merited confidence reposed in him
by both sections of the Union, supply the desired
guaranties for national peace and prosperity for
the next four years, we would prefer to bury what
ever of prejudice the political stri e of the psst has
engendered, or whatever of partiality the conflict
ing claims of present aspirants may promote, and
rally around his standard, as Georgians, to the
support of our own distinguished statesman, in
the coming Presidential contest, rather than sup
port any one of the many distinguished gentlemen
whose claims will be nrged before the Charleston
Convention for this position.
Resolved, That if the views expressed in the
above resolutions are approved by our representa
tives at Milledgeville, though we would have pre
ferred for the convention of the Bth to have been
delayed, until there could have been secured a
more satisfactory expression of opinions of the
people, and though we believe that the power to call
•ach a convention is vested only id the Executive
Democratic Committee, yet if the party generally
can harmonise upon the eighth of December, we
hereby empower our Representatives at Milledge
▼ili# to act as our delegates in that convention.
On motion, the above resolutions were unani
mously adopted. It was
Ordered, That the proceedings of the meeting
be published in the Constitutionalist, federal Union,
and Athens Banner. After which the meeting
adjourned. Db. J. ferns, Char n.
Wm. M. Smith, Secretary.

Milledgeville Correspondence.
Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 29.
Editor Constitutionalist—Sir: Among the many
matterj of little general interest, I notice the fol
lowing of local interest to you:
Mr. Gibson has introduced bills to amend the
laws in relation to registration of voters in Augusta.
To allow Justices of the Peace there, to hold their
courts where they please, in said city. To incor
porate the Gas company there.
A bill has passed the House to change the time
of bolding Superior and Inferior courts in Rich
mond county.
There has been, as usual for the last twenty
years, a bill before the Legislature to require land
owners to give in their land in the county where it
lies. Those for the bill say that they want to find
out who owns the land. Those who oppose it say
that it is a mere trick to get land for a song, under
taxyi. fas. As usual, the bill was voted down.
Mr. Tatum, of Dade, has a bill in to appropriate
a million of dollars tq build a new State House.
There is also a resolution introduced in the Senate
this morning to appoint joint committees, to start
the removal question again, for the purpose of
taking up the time of the next Legislature. We
have now a State House that is good enough for
any body to set in, and a much better house than
the most of us were ever used to. It is big enough
for any moderate sized deliberative body, and as
the old song about no hotels is now out of print, I
consider the big Milledgeville hotel a weight stuck
upon the seat of government, that is a plenty heavy
enough to hold it in its place.
A bill was :a reduced in the Senate this morning
to allow negroes to be witnesses against white per
pons not citizens of this State. On a motion to
jrint the bill for the use of the Senate, Mr. Bart
ett, of Jasper, opposed the printing, on the ground
that the very introduction of such a bill was a blot
on the character of our State. The motion to
print was voted down by a tremendous majority.
Ido think that those whose knees tremble be
cause twenty men played the fool at Harper’s Fer
ry, must have little faith in the integrity of the
South. There are some constitutions that the less
reason there is to fear, the more afraid they are—
to them the “air drawn dagger” of Macbeth’s vi
sion, is more terrible than the real steel, and be
cause the attempt at insurrection has proved to a
demonstration that the southern slaves cannot be
made or hired to revolt, they forsooth are haunt
ed by visions of southern uomes in flames, and
southern children butchered. The scare of resolu
tions passed by the present Legislature, are to
the North, so many confessions of terror, and they
may well imagine that if twenty men can scare
the South so bad, that her people have to vote
that they are not scared, then a regular crusade
might hope for success. Let not distempered
imagination create “men in buckram,” but when
insect traitors buz around our ears, crush them if
you will, or dismiss them with Uncle Toby’s
remark to the fly, “go little insect, there is room
enough jn the world for thee and for me.” Surely
the South never stood higher than that insane
move has placed her. President Buchanan has
been charged with infidelity to his southern con
stituents, on account of his Walker—Kansas poli
cy; but nobly has he cleared his skirts, for- all the
bloodhounds of the administration have been put
ou the'Rcent of treason, and with such success,
that the negro editor of yankeedom has fled to Eu
rope, and Smith hus gone insane from fright. It
has been said that northern men would not act
with the South, and yet the Executive of Penn
sylvania has promptly given up every fugitive, and
northern men have notified Gov. Wise of every
scheme lor rescue that northern fools have hatch
ed. The sentiment is with us, and the proof of it
is, that pro-slavery speeches have been applaud
ed at Tammany Hall and Tremont Temple, while
anti-slavery speeches any wheae South of the Ohio
river, would entitle the maker to a close siting
garment of tar and feathers.
There was a bill introduced this morning to
prevent the sale of liquors and weapons to minors.
The gentleman might as well try to command the
wind of the desert or the monsters of the deep, as
to try to stop Georgia boys from doing as they
please. They may be persuaded, but cannot be
forced.
In the House this morning, the time has been
spent in the discussion of M. A. Cooper’s State
aid bill. It was tabled indefinitely. Those Dem
ocrats who go for State aid, for internal improve
ments, surely forget that they fought the Whigs
for twenty years on that very principle. Ido not
see that there is any diflerence between members
of Congress voting for river aDd harbor bills, and
Georgia legislators voting for somebody’s pet rail
road.
The Senate has spent the morning in the discus
sion of a bill to require owners of land to give
them in where they lie. Mr. Seward, Mr. Harris
and Mr. Paine were for the bil', on the ground th: t
tbe present laws allowed of great frauds in the
payment of taxes, and that tracts laying unnoticed
by their owners were sold under forged titles.
Mr. Collier amended by a proviso, that the bill
should not effect persons who are idiots, infants,
or who give in the lands in this State. Several
spoke against it—Mr. Morris of Franklin, at some
length, on tbe ground that many people, owing to
the cutting up of counties, do not know where
their land lies, but he was against any wav.
Mr. Paine of Telfair said that some Senators
were like the lion that found the lamb drinking
at thestream, and charged him with insulting him
at a certain time, the lamb said that at that time
he was not born , the lion said that it was some
sheep, and he would eat him up anyhow—Senators
were opposed unreasonably. The bill is laid on
the table indefinitely.
The following acts have been passed this session:
1. To change the time of holding the Superior
Courts in the counties of Brooks, Lowndes and
Thomas.
2. To authorise the State Treasurer to make cer
tain advances. ,
3. To remove the county site of Lowndes coun
ty, and to change the line between said county and
the county of Brooks.
* 4. To pardon Francis J. Smith, of the county of
Cambell, under sentence of death for the crime of
murder.
5. To repeal so much of an act in reference to
the incorporation of the town of Hamilton, and
other places named, as relates to the incorporation
of the town of Trenton, Dade county, approved
February 18 th, 1854.
6. To authorise the Inferior Court of Pierce
county to assess an extra tax for building a jail.
7. To authorise the Inferior Court of the county
of Murray to increase the tax for said county.
8. To provide for the compensation of Sheriffs
for the summoning of Grand and Petit Jurors in
the county of Dougherty, and to levy a tax for the
same.
9. For the relief of Teachers of poor children in
the county of Muscogee.
10. To change the lines between the counties of
Coffee and Irwin.
11. To change the lines between the counties of
Hall and Banks.
12. To amend an act entitled an act to incor
porate the Savannah and North Alabama Railroad
Company assented to 11th Feb. 1854, and to repeal
sections seven, eight and nine of said act, and to
substitute two additional sections in lieu thereof.
13. Fixing the times of holding the Superior
Courts iu the county of Coffee.
14. To legalise the holding of Carroll Superior
Court at its last term, and to make valid the pro
ceedings of said Court.
15. To authorise the Mayor and City Council of
Atlanta to take possession of the enclosed ground
lying between the general passenger depot and
Decatur street in said city, for the purpose of beau-’
tifying and ornamenting the same as a railroad
park.
16. To incorporate the town of Ellaville, in
Schley county.

&f~ Nature is the Great Physician.- This is now
admitted by the medical profession as a fundamental principle
of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human eco
nomy that, whenever anything Is wrong in the physical sys
tem; the natural forces of the body are brought to bear to ex
pel the disease. The great aim therefore, Is, to strengthen the
natural powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful
cqjnpounders of DR. J. HOSTETTER’S BITTERS, which
operate to give fresh vitality to all tbe organs of the body.
The ebects of this medicine upon the Stomach, the Liver and

wise enough to quit drugging and try the BITTERS, soon
feels as if he had taken a new lease of life; and as he con

You are overrun with a deluge of the vilest compounds,

that pest of society, the Liquob Mixes. They are sold to
you as a luxury, or they are dispensed to you as a medicine
and in either case, the effect is the same.
There is but one way to escape, and that is, to use, as a luxu
ry, or a medicament, a safe and reliable stimulant, sold under
Stamp and Seal, which renders it certain that it has not been
tampered with. Such an article is CHARLES’ LONDON
CORDIAL GIN, which is distilled under inspection of the
British Government, is delicately flavored, (unlike any other
Gin), with some of the most valuable restoratives of the Vege
table Kingdom, axd is by far thejmost healthy beverage exj
tant.
The most eminent Physicians of Europe and America, not
only recommend Its use by the hale and hearty, hut presci ibe
it as a medicine where a stimulant as required.
Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York, says: "It is the best ar
tide of the kind I have ever seen.”
The female sex will find it not only a pleasant Cordial, but
a certalu relief in sufferings of a periodical character.
Analytical Chemists of all ranks pronounce it perfectly
pure, and its restoratives merits incomparable. Buy only

toitsto place a Pure Gin within the reach of all, under the
name of AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, and to
drive out of the market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin
throughout the country, led many leading Druggists, Apot-he
caries, and Medical men, fjrsome years past, to solicit me to
pursue the same course in regard to the article Os Brandy. 1
should have complied with these requests, from all quarters,
long ago. but was deterred from it by the fact that, owing to
the exorbitant prices of Brandy In France, consequent upon
the shortness of the Grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to import the choicest Brandy, bot
tle it, and sell it at moderate prices. Fortunately for me, (he
Grape crop for the last and previous yes r, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Brandy have fallen
to the standard of ten years ago. The duty on Brandy is also
seventy per cent, lower, and I have now made arrangements
with four Brandy exporters in France, of the highest repute,
and am regularly receiving consignments of the Cognac Bran]
dy, which I am bottling and selling as WOLFE’S GENUINE
COGNAC BRANDY. I guarantee with my Seal, Labels,
and Ccrtiflcates, the Brandy so bottled by me, as the pure, un
adulterated article ; and It will be found, when used as a medi
cine, a beverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It
has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of pure
unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult to obtain ; and the
purchaser, nine times in ten, was deceived with a vile manu
factured Imitation. Os a'l descriptions of ardent spirits,
Brandy, from its high price, has been the one article that mix
era and sellers have turned their attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually thiough the land, and have been the primary cause
of murders, suicides, cruelties, and crimes, and have sent
thousands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from delirium
tremens, mania-a-potu, and horrors, names unknown, until un
principled men began to make maddening compounds, and
sell it as the pure French Brandy.
The virtues of pure French Brandy need not be told by me.
They are known throughout the world as a medicine, or mild
stimulant. It Is, as the French nation poetically call it, “Eau
de la vie”—the water of life. But this appliesto it on'r when
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful In
gredients that make a good imitation, it becomes a death drink
to innocent tens of thousands of our race. To remedy a fear
ful evil, I have commenced Importing Brandy, bottling it, and
selling it as WOLFE’S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY.
I am daily receiving orders from the Druggists and Apothe
caries in all parts of the Union, to sell it for medical purposes.
