SATUBDAY HCBHIKG, PIC. 9, 1859.
Democratic Meeting.
A meeting of the Democratic party of Richmond
county, will be held at the City Hall, on Saturday
evening next, at half past seven o’clock, P. M., for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the State
Convention to be held in Milledgeville on the Stb
of December next.
By order of Executive Committee,
T. (1. Bridges, Secretary.
The Military Convention.
The Milledgeville papers of the Ist inst., con
tain the otlicial publication of the proceedings of
the convention of delegates from the various vol
unteer organizations in the State, which was held
at the Capital on the 29th ult, upon the call of the
Volunteer Military Corps of the city of Macon.
Delegates were in attendance from fifty volunteer
corps, aud the convention was organised by the
selection of Capt. Anderson, of the Republican
Blues, (Savannah,) as President, Lieut, Hanleitef,
of the Grate City Guards, (Atlanta) as Secretary, and
private Grant, of the Oglethorpe Light Intantry
(Savannah,) as Assistant Secretary.
The action of the convention consisted in the
adoption of a series of resolutions, reported by its
Committee on Business, to whom were referred all
the propositious which were oflered by the mem
bers of the con vention.
These resolutions contain a number of recom
mendations to the General Assembly of the State,
among which are—
1. The passage of an act appropriating a suffi
cient sum to purchase arms, accoutrements and
field equipment to supply the military force of the
State. The Governor, in a special message has,
we believe, already asked of the Legislature an
appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for
the purchase of arms.
2. The immediate establishment of a State Ar
mory, for the manufacture and repair of small
arms and artillery. The Governor made the same
recommendation in his message ; the people and
the press, and the military organizations of the
State, have approved it; and we trust the Legis
lature will not adjourn before it is carried out.
3. The appointment of a commission, consisting
of five competent officers, to prepare a Military
Code, to be reported to the Legislature at the open
ing of its next session. The military committees
of the two Houses have, we understand, a code
now before them ; but as it cannot be reported and
acted upon before the session closes, we suppose
that the recommendation of the convention will
be adopted.
These are the principal recommendations which
were made by the convention. None of them are
new, but they are now presented to the Legisla
ture, with the sanction of the military organizations
of the State. If they are adopted and carried out
by that body, its action in the premises will be the
mo9t appropriate and sensible notice which it can
take of recent events, which warn the southern
States of the necessity of preparations for defence.
Resolutions denouncing the conduct and designs
of the Harper’s Fewy insurgents, and lauding the
action of the Governor of Virginia, and the Presi
dent of the United States, in arresting them in
their career of crime and folly, are all very proper;
bnt we want a thorough military organization and
the means within our own limits, in arsenals and
armories, and a military institute, to make it effec
tive.
The Harper’s Ferry Affairs in the South
Carolina Legislature.
The following preamble and resolutions were
introduced in the House of Representatives of the
South Carolina Legislature, on Thursday, by Mr.
Hammond, of Barnwell. They were ordered to be
printed, and made the special order for Friday,
(yesterday) :
Whereas, John BrowD, instigated, it is believed,
by the Abolitionists in the so-called free States oi
this confederacy, and countenanced by the leading
members of tbe party known as the Republican
party, fully cognizant of his plans, has recently at
tempted to excite a servile insurrection in the
States of Virginia and Maryland; and whereas,
although not a single slave was seduced to join, ac
tually in said insurrection, and the first person
murdered in the outbreak by the conspirators was
a negro opposing them, yet the said Brown and
his associates were able, from the unprotected con
dition of security, to capture a town of two thou
sand inhabitants, an armory, an arsenal of the
United States, and to hold the same for two davs,
and several peaceful citizens were assassinated ;
and whereas, although all the conspirators actual
ly engaged in this attempt have been, it is suppos
ed, killed or captured and executed, or are to be
executed according to law, after lair trial, it may
be reasonably anticipated that others will be insti
gated to renew, and perhaps renew frequently, and
in stronger gangs, such murderous and treasona
ble outrages against the peace and safety of the
soutLern States, and their domestic and political
institutions, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the State of South Carolina, That the de
fence and secure maintenance of the system of Af
rican slavery as existing in the South, is a cause
common to all the southern States, and that the
burden of it should not rest on the border States
alone.
Resolved, That at the call of any border or other
southern State, for a convention of the slavehold
ing States, the Governor of the State of South
Carolina be required to appoint suitable delegates
to said convention, who are hereby authorised to
pledge this State to furnish her full quota of men
and her full contribution of money for the fortifica
tion of the necessary points on the northern fron
tiers of the slaveholding States, and the garrison
ing and perpetual support of the same.
Resolved , That while the considerations of safety
and security, obvious and paramount, justify and
compel such measures of defence, in view of this
incendiary attempt of John Brown and the appa
rent state of public sentiment in the So called free
States, this Legislature does not hesitate to de
clare that this Union, at best of doubtful value to
the South, would be scarcely an atom in the scale
against the perpetual maintenance of our system
of African slave labor; and we advise that ‘when
the continuance of the said Union endangers or
seriously impresses that system, that the South
should discard said Union at once and forever.
Resolved, That the Governor of the State be re
quested to forward a copy of these resolutions to
the Governors of all the States of this Confedera
cy, and to our Senators and Representatives in
Congress.

the start was bad, and being called back, it was
more nearly equal. Cheatham was again the win

“ Up in the Morning Early.”
BT JENNT WOODBINE.
Reader mine, hast thou ever bustled out among
the crowd, tilled with a vain desire to forget thy
self—to lose individuality among the moving
mass—to interest thyself in the faces of others;
and while tbou art fancying the possible life his
tory of each, forget thine own few brief years into
which thou hast crowded “ ages of misery?”
This is a great city—this same Augusta —a bust
ling, th.iving, go-ahead sort of place; and the
merchants are as busy as so many bees. New and
handsome fronts have been added to many of our
stores—these render Broad street very attractive;
aud, to use the expression of a Yankee acquaint
ance, give it quite a New Yorkish air. Well, the
dust has vanished somewhere—the days are clear,
bright, and beautiful. All the fashionables were
out yesterday afternoon, and so were you, not a
fashionable, with your wistful, haunting face, and
your piercing, weary, sad eyes. I saw you gliding
along the street; heard occasionally your mellow }
misical, but forced, laugh, as you tried to cheat
y mrself into the belief that you were really en
joying your walk. I saw you bow to casual ac
quaintances with that indifferent look of yours;
watched the flush which.crimsoned your cheek, as
the street loungers eyed your veiled figure, and
made a mental estimate of your toilet; saw your
face light up with something akin to joy, as you
met some dear, tried friend, loved in the “ long
ago.”
Well, it is a goodly sight to see our fair ladies
out en masse —it must enliven the business men ;
if it don’t, “I shall always think it ought to,” fas
a merry school friend used to say). What a va
riety of faces ! The beautiful, the spirituells, the
pretty, the plain ; and what a variety of toilets!
Gorgeous robes—many-colored like the rainbow,
or the wings of a Bird of Paradise—modest silks,
&c., and so on. Here comes a lady who has the
happy consciousness of being exceedingly well
dressed—how that rich silk rustles on that pave
tnent —how gracefully that “Chesterfield” falls
arouDd the model figure—how daintily that fringed
parasol is held between four tiny, gloved fingers ;
and with what a self-satisfied air the lady looks
out of “the lid of her eye,” (a la Charles Reade,)
to see if the particular whisker is admiring her
grande toilette. Here is another who needs not
those outward adornments to mark her as a lady ;
her pale, intellectual face, her sad-colored, but
really fitting robes—these interest you, do they
not, oh! reader of faces ? and do you not pause to
look twice into those earnest eyes, which are half
concealed by the dotted lace veil? Here comes
one of the “independents”—a good, clever woman,
hut strong-minded ; the very tramp of her heel on
the pavement has a masculine sound. She looks in
at the shop-windows when she feels like it; and, as
some one said of Fanny Fern, “takes in a dozen
laces at a glance;” ha, ha, comes from her mouth
instead of he, he; and when those male bipeds,
who have no earthly aim but to sit before hotels,
and spit on the pavement, eye her curiously, she
does not lower her veil, but gives a sort of con
temptuous look, as much as to say : “I am not out
on exhibition, but you can stare at me if you like,
1 am rather good looking.” Then a group of lively
girls (“bosom friends,” all of them,) have paused
to compare notes, and decide what shall be the
programme for to-morrow.
Entre nous: I have tired of this panorama, and
so we will drop in at Osborne’s beautiful store; view
the glittering silver and gold ; look admiringly at
the nandsome paintings which adorn the walls,
and then walk up to a stand, turn a little knob, and
be transported in a moment to European scenery.
We glide on—look at the elegant fabrics display
ed in the windows of the many dry goods estab
lishments—saunter down by post otSce corner
where people “most do congregate,” and hurry
on to the art gallery of Tucker and Perkins. Now,
indeed, we have much to interest, as we sail up
and down the softly carpeted reception room. We
are not artist enough to describe the pictures; but
we have the soul to appreciate them. What an ar
ray of portraits! and all executed in superior style,
iiishop Pierce, the very handsomest man in Geor
gia—admired and loved by everybody -smiles
down benignly from the canvass ; and you almost
fancy that those eloquent lips will open, select
3ome theme, and string diamonds upon it. Dr.
Means, with his grave, but pleasant countenance,
looks out upon you; and very manv others. Fair
faces, too, hang in that picture gallery—some, evi
dently, “gotten up for the occasion,’’judging from
the fine look of the mouth, and the faultless attire;
others—and these the most beautiful—taken in
careless attitude.
The gentlemanly proprietors of this establish
ment, who never grow weary in acts of gallantry,
show you around, and answer all your questions.
If vou are a regular “Paul Pry,” and ask merely
for the sake of asking, the same friendly smile
greets you; if you are appreciative, perhaps, they
feel rewarded for their trouble. 1 shall not enu
merate all that may be seen in this art gallery ;
but it is one of the most attractive places in our
city; and any one troubled with leisure, may spend
an” hour or so there, quite pleasantly and profita
ble.
What has thisallto do withjny title, “Up in the
Morning early?” Oh! critic, whose eyes are so
constituted that thou seest nothing but flaws—be
kind—be merciful! I was up before the sun this
morning; and strolled around to see how our city
looked when it was rubbing its eyes, prior to a
general waking up. I saw the cotton wagons roll
ing in—saw pretty girls exercising themselves by
playing graces on front piazzas—saw merchants
and lawyers buttoned up to the throat, taking up
the burden of existence again, and hurrying on to
their daily avocations—saw pale-faced ueedle-wo
men, looking as though they had slept but little,
pinning their faded shawls around them; and
thinking of the weary “stitch, stitch”—saw good
humored darkies pausing to hold consultations
with cooks and chamber maids—the colored Eve
poising her broom gracefully, and showing her
white teeth at Gumbo’s remarks. Yea, and I saw
handsome young fellows ridiug in from the Sand
Hills, and, and—oh ! I don’t know what all.
Os one thing I am certain, that our city by the
river is beautiful atall times—beautiful in the gar
ish light of day—beautiful by gas light—beautiful,
also, in the gray misty twilight of morning. Yet,
an eloquent ietter from Texas, describing the lem
on, orange, banana, grapes, &c., and alluding to
the warm weather there, makes me wish that I
could fly away to some sunny spot in the West,
where coal fires are not needed; and where one’s
figure would not be weighed down under a heavy
cloak, which makes one pant for breath at every
step. Grumbler, as I may seem, I must say, old
winter, I hate you ! you make my nose blue, and
my temper irritable; and I only vegetate through
your long, dreary months. Don’t talk to me of
cheerful tires —social home pictures—and all that
sort of thing—winter and I are sworn enemies; he
pinches my cheeks, and makes me cross, and, wo
man like, I revenge myself by abusing him in the
papers.
Gout. —Cases of severe gout have been cured by
a persevering use of coffee. In the French colonies,
as well as in Turkey, where coffee constitutes the
principal beverage, the gout is almost unknown.
Where experiments are perfectly harmless, they
are worthy of a trial.— Exchange. %

Mature is the Great Physician.—This is now
adm'tted by the medical profession as a fundamental principle
of healing science. It is wisely provided by the human eeo
noray that, whenever anything is wrong in the physical sys
tern, the natural forces of the body are brought to bear to ex
pel the d’sease. The great aim therefore, is, to strengthen the
natural powers. This has been kept in view by the skillful
compounders of DR. J. HOSTETTER’S BITTEKS. which
operate to give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body.
The eheets of this medicine upon the Stomach, the Liver and
the Kidneys, are prompt and decisive. The patient who is
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.
tinues the use of the article, he is overjoyed to And the streams
of health coursing through his frame. Let all from whose
cheek the bloom has departed give DR. J. HOSTETTER’S
CELEBRATED BITTERS a trial.

Wine—Wol*e’s Genuine Madeiea Wine-Wolfe’s Genuine
Sheeey Wwe.-I am now supplying the Trade with Pure
COGNAC BRANDY, in Bottles, both for Medical and Pri
vate use. The immense' success which lias crowned my ef
forts to place a Pure Gin within the reach of all, under the
natue of AROMATIC SCUIEDAM SCHNAPPS, and to
drive out of the market the pernicious compounds sold as Gin
throughout the country, led many leading Druggists, Apothe
caries, and Medical men, Ibr some years past, to solicit me to
pursue the same-course in regard to the article of Brandy. I
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, the
Grape crop for the last and previous yes r, (and the prospect
for this), was abundant, and the prices of Bratidy 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 Certificates, the Brandy so bottled by me, as the pure, un
adulterated article ; and it will be found, when used as a medi
cine, a lieverage, or a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It
has been a matter of universal complaint, that a bottleof 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
ers and sellers have turned their attention to ; and millions of
gallons of the so-called French Brandy have been scattered
annually through 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 only when
pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with the fearful in
gradients 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 BraDdy, bottling it, and
selling it as WOLFE'S GENUINE COGNAC BRANDY.
I am daily receiving orders from the Druggists and Apothe
caries in all part#bf the Union, to sell it for medical purposes.
