A WHOLESALE ESTABLISHMENT.
We had the pleasure of looking through the
Urge and well stocked wholesale dry goods store
of Messrs. Jackson - , Millkr & Yerdery, yesterday.
Their shelves and counters present an attractive
nrray of all kinds of dry goods, sueh as prints,
ginghams, de laines, cashimers, alpacos, hosiery,
gloves, shawls, and a great variety of other goods
suitable for the southern trade, including, also,
ketseys, Kentucky jeans, cassimeres, satinetts,
eloths, blankets, domestics, Ac.
we desire to call particular attention, is the fact
•hut Messrs. Jackson, Millkr A Vbrdert have
made arrangements with “Ivy Mills,” of Ros
well, Cobb county, Georgia, by which they will
be enabled to keep constantly on hand a large as
sortment of the various qualities of the woolen
goods of this manufactory for wholesale. These
<'oods are of home manufacture, and we desire to
see them become popular—we desire to see the
enterprise encouraged ; and if any of our citizens
wish to procure suits of them, they can be grati
fied by Messrs. Hora, Wise A Cos., Broou A Dat,
and G. P. Greek, merchant tailors, who will be
pleased to accommodate the public in this respect,
we doubt not, on reasonable terms.
The Rosswell goods are evidently calculated for
service, and wholesale dealers would do well, in
making their purchases, to obtain a supply from
Jie.v-rs. Jackson, Miller A Vkrdert. These gen
tlemen have, also, a very large assortment of
blankets and domestic goods, and merchants and
planters who make large purchases will find it to
their interest to give them a call. They offer in
ducements that will obviate the necessity of deal
ers in this section going farther then Augusta to
lav m their stocks. We invite special attention to
their advertisement this morning.
VOCAL MUSIC.
We invite attention to the card of Prof. C. S.
Mallkttk, iu another column, in which he proposes
to give instructions in vocal music, at the Augusts
Hotel, and a ! ro in private families, if desired
lie will open bis Academy about the Ist of Octo
ber next. Those desirous of cultivating and im
proving their voices should make earlwapplications
lor joining the classes.
THE MEETING AT THOMSON.
We have received no formal report of the pro
ceedings at Thomson, on the 13th inst. A visitor
there however assures us that there was a large at
tendance.
Jr lien (Ymming, Esq., addressed the people for
about two hours in the forenoon, in an able, logical,
conservative, and eloquent speech. In the after
noon the Hon. A U. Wright spoke, and nobly and
gloriously sustained the cause of the National
Democracy.
A tine barbecue was prepared, and nearly one
thousand persons, including about two hundred
ladies, fared sumptuously.
MOVEMENTS OF JUDGE DOUGLAS.
We are daily receiving letters of enquiry, as to
the time Judge Douglas will visit Georgia, in
response to the invitation of the Democratic State
convention. We are not prepared to give a satis
factory reply. We are assured that the invitation
was extended, and that it was sent to Judge Doug
las from Washington. Since then we have heard
nothing from Judge Douglas, except what was
communicated orally to one of our citizens, by the
Judge, that he would endeavor to visit Georgia
during the mouth of October.
As soon as we obtain any reliable information
about this matter, we will promptly communicate
it to our readers.
HE IS “A DOUGLAS MAN ”
It might offend some of “ the leaders of the peo
ple,” to intimate ttiat there are any Douglas men
residing in the State, immediately North of the
Savannah river. However that may be, it shall
not prevent us from relating an occurrence which
recently took place at the North, and we believe
at Philadelphia. A gentleman from South Caroli
tia, in hurriedly leaving a coacl: or hack, handed
the driver, as he thought, a silver halt dollar—
while the driver was in the act of getting out some
change, for the piece, the Carolinian moved off,
and continued on his course. As soon as the
driver noticed that the gentleman was going off', he
knew that there wss some mistake made about the
money paid him, and he immediately went in pur
suit.
At the end of a block or square the driver, who
by the way, was an Irishman, friet up with him
and said : ‘‘Sir, you did not stop for your change,
you gave me a ten dollar gold piece, and you must
have thought it was a fifty cent piece. Here is your
change.”
“My good sir,” said the Carolinian, ‘‘you surpnso
me—l was not aware that 1 gave you more than
your regular fare; and I thank you for your honor
able dealing with me.”
“It’s right,” said Patrick, “that you should
have l ights. You paid me like a gentleman,
and, bedad, you shall he rightly treated.”
The few moments which intervened during this
conversation served to collect together several per
sons, and the Carolinian said ;
“Thank heaven, I can return to tiie South, aDd
say that I found one honest man in the free States,
who proved honest nader temptation, when there
was no chance for exposure. How will I and my
southern friends be able tofeccount for this?”
“Tell them,” said Patrick, “that you tad deal
ing* with a Douglas man, and they never humbug
aaybedy,”
Three cheers were instantly given for Douglas
by the entire crowd—the Irishman was highly
* “ml i men ted; and what afforded him great
pleasure, was the announcement iuat me South
Carolinian was also an out and out Stephen A.
Douglas man.

The population of Norfolk is no greater than it
was in 1855, and the fact that it has not increased
may be attributed to the ravages of the fever at
that period, and the fear afterwards felt, which
deterred persons from settling there.
Gov. Moore, of Alabama, has lately manifested
his want of deference to the fair sex in a novel
wav. It is reported that, finding the penitentiary
at Wetumpka too full, he has discharged the fe
male convicts to make room for the males !
They are now boring an artesian well at Pro

in any previous oue.
New Milford, with three thousand nine hun
dred inhabitants, has one hundred and seventy
two over seventy years, and it also boasts of three
old maids, who are each, two years younger than
they were in 1850. In Winsted there is an active
old lady of one hundred and one. The “oldfolks”
are evidently “at home” iu the Nutmeg State.
Itcost last year three hundred and seventy-six dol
lars per night to light the streets of Boston, the total
for the year being one hundred and thirty-seven
thousand three hundred aud twenty-one dollars.
We do not know of a place where light is more
needed than in modern Athens ; but it may be
that there is a great deal of gas connected with
the foregoing item.
A man died lately at Norfolk, Va., and his phy
sicians ascribed his disease to the habit of wear
ing tight boots.
a pom woman, in the county of Santa Barbara,
California, lias but one grape vine,* says an ex
change. This bore, in 1857, five thousand bunches
of grapes—each bunch weighing over a pound —
yielding her the handsome some of four thousand
dollars. When a girl, on leaving Monterey for
her present home, she picked up a vine cutting to
drive her mule. This cutting she planted on her
arrival, aud after the lapse of seven years such is
the result.
The first steamboat’ ever built in the United
States for Brazil, it is said, was launched on Satur
day, at New York.
The Troy (N. Y.) Times, of September 4th, tells
of a man by the name of Hamilton, living in
Vegenues, Vermont, who had a large, live, and
sprightly lizzard drawn from Ins stomach by
means of a stomach pump recently. The physi
cian has been treating Mr. 11. for consumption,
and had given up all hopes of his recovery, when
his brother, who resides in Albany, and who did
not think the disease was consumption, called iu a
Dr. Litzson, who finally consented to the use of
the stomach pump with the above result. The pa
tient had been reduced from two hundred and sev
enteen to a little over one hundred pounds in
weight by his sickness. The Times adds, that the
truth of the statement can be vouched for by sev
eral respectable parties.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 10th,
savs: The monument to Commodore Derry was
inaugurated to-day in the presence of thirty thous
and people. Fifteen military companies, and one
thousand Masons were in the procession ; also,
six survivors of the battle of Lake Erie, and a num
ber of the soldiers of the war of 1812. x\u oration
was delivered by George Bancroft, and the con
cluding ceremonies were conducted by the Masons.
A suit for twenty-live thousand dollars was
docketed in one of the St. Louis courts a few days
since, which will prove interesting. This suit is
brought to test the legal right of the Mayor to
commit a child to the house of refuge who has
parents living in the city at the time, but who, in
the opinion of the Mayor, are not suitable persons
to have charge of the child.
The France Musicale says : “An interesting dis
covery, both for science and musical art, has just
been made by M. Boitn.ts, in a spot near IVriguenx,
called Le Petit Paradis—being it natural instru
ment, formed of antediluvian stones, and giving
in a peculiar tone a chromatic scale, one and a
half octaves in extent. Nothing can give an idea
of the pleasing sound of this instrument, which is
of the kind called by the learned lilhophon. The
various stoues of which it is composed are petre
factions of bones and of bark of trees.”
The New Orleans Bulletin loams by a lute arri.
val from St. Thomas, that the residence on tha’
island of Gen. Santa Anna, ex-Dtctator of Mexico,
has been destroyed by fire. It was the work of in
cendiaries. The building cost the General, two
years ago, two hundred and five thousand francs,
and he had expended fifteen thousand more upon
it in improvements.
Manchester, England, is said to be the greatest
manufacturing city in the world. It is stated that
the steam force employed in its various mills and
factories amounts to one million two hundred

mous motive twenty thousand tons of coal ate
consumed every twenty-four hours, or nine mil- I
lion three hundred and niuety thousand tons in j
the three hundred and thirteen working days of j
the year.
There is said to be a lamentable dirth in Kansas
owing to the unexampled drought of the past
summer. In certain parts of the Territory, in

immediate waDts of the suffering inhabitants ot
the Territory. -
Letters from Beirut to August 4th represent af
fairs as quiet. It is added, however, that the most

and seven victims died ere the conspiracy was dis
covered.

Gold of Georgia. —Mr. Wm. P. Blake read a pa
per before the American association for the ad
vancement of a:iepce, on the ‘distribution of gold
! in reins,’ and illustrated it by eotne beautiLil
specimens of gold from the Field’s geld vein ia
the bed of the Chestatee river, Georgia. From this
vein ten thousand dollars worth of gold waa taken
i out of a pitt ten feet deep, and one bushel ot the
rock vielded three thousand pennyweights. He
also exhibited some very large nuggets of gold
from the mines of the Naucooche Hydraulic Com
pany, weighing respectively three hundred and
eigbty-seren, one hundred and fifteen, and
fifty-nine pennyweights, comparing favorably wiib
the” nuggets of Califoraia and Australia in size and
trichness. The three hundred and eighty-seven
pennyweight mass is the largest yet found in
Georgia. These and a much larger weight of
smaller masses were washed out by the hydraulic,
process from the ton of a ridge above tbe river,
they being in what the miners call a hill deposit.
SPEECH OF JULIEN CUMMING, ESQ
We have only time to state that Mr. Cumming,
the Democratic elector for this district, addressed
a large and enthusiastic audience last night at the
City Hall. He exposed, with a master hand, the
flimsy pleas adopted by the leaders of the Breck
inridge party, and advocated with spirit, truth,
and eloquence, the claims of Judge Douglas to the
•upport of the people of the Uuton for the office of j
President.
We shall refer to the speech again to morrow.

ness known through that medium.

MR. WALTON'S LETTER.
Augusta, Ga., Bept. 14, 1860.
Dear Sir; 1 presume it is of but little conse
quence to any one, what particular views I may
entertain of the political questions now agitating
the public mind, but having written the subjoined
letter to answer a special purpose, under a pre
sumed necessity, and finding that I have been mis
represented by some persons, upon one point, may
I ask you (as a subscriber) to insert it in your pa
per, with the addition of a few lines to two of the
paragraphs therein? Yours, very respectfully,
Wm. A. Walton.
Ah . Editor -. As the time for nominating candi
dates, to succeed Messrs. Miller and Rhodes, is ap
proaching, and my name has been kindly sugges
ted for the House of Representatives through the
columns of the Trut Democrat, it is proper that 1
should state publicly that I am not, and cannot be
induced to become a candidate to fill either of the
vacancies mentioned.
Perhaps L should assign the reasons, inasmuch
as I have been recommended warmly, for the sup
port of everybody, as unavailable, or a “univer
sally popular ” mam
lu ihe first p ace, I do not agree with a majority
of mv fellow citizens in relation to the pending
Presidential election, and therefore would not rep
resent their views upon that all eugrossing subject,
if elected.
I admire Mr. Breckinridge's private and public
character, and heartily endorse his principles iu
regard to the Territories of the Union- believing
them to be the principles of the Constitution, and
of the compromise measures of 1850. Therefore,
he is my first choice, and I expect to vote tor him
m November next.
As between tlie*other two candidates before the
southern people, 1 prefer Mr. Bell; and I do not
hesitate to say further, that nothing short of the
conviction that I must support Mr. Douglas to de
feat the Republican candidate, can induce me to
cast my vote for him.
1 have said enough, I hope, to ussure every one
who feels any interest in the matter, that in the
contest referred to, my desire and resolution is
simply to exercise the light of private judgment,
and vote in sueh way as may enable me to be
hue to
the Government by which we are bound to the
North, as one people, upon terms of perfect equal
ity only.
Besides this, there are private considerations,
which render it impossible for me to accept the
nomination, without disregarding, to some extent,
professional obligations.
I respectfully tender my sincere thanks to those
of my fellow citizens who esteem me worthy to
guard, and capable of advancing their agricultural
and commercial interests, which, in these days of
political prejudice and party strife, it must be con
ceded, receive a comparatively small degree of at
tention from the representatives of the people.
Your obedient servant, Wm. A. Walton.
Augusta, Sept. 12, 1860.
