GEORGE CHRISTY'S MINSTRELo-
Our readers will see by the advertisement n
this morning's issue, that George Christv’s Min
strels.with the veritable George himself,will appeal
at Concert Hall, in this city, on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings next. Our Charleston exchanges
speak in the highest terms of the troupe, and of their
exhibitions in that city. Their vocal and instru -
mental performances are also alluded to in very
complimentary terms.
They will perform in Savatinah or to-morrow
and Tuesday, and here as above state!.
The business management of the troupe is un
der the direction of John P. Smith, Esq., whois
highly recommended by tbe Charleston press, and
who paid us a visit last evening.
After the dull season which we have just had
Christy’s Minstrels will, doubtless be welcomed
by large audiences when they perform here.
GEORGIA MANUFACTURED CA"3.
We saw yesterday a Military fatigue cap, of the
kmd to be worn by company 8., of the Minute
Men of this city. The cap is ot gray cloth, aud
was procured from Holbrook’s Cap Manufactory,
in Atlanta, (la.—the button on it being made in
Columbus, Ga. We are pleased to see this evi
dence of home industry and southern patronage;
and this step of the Minute Men is a <’pital idea,
worthy of approval and imitation.
THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS IN RICH’
MOND COUNTY.
It is understood that arrangements for the pres
servation of order at the polls, next Wednesday,
similar to such as have bceu hertofore resorted to,
with the best results, are now being made, with
the approval and co-operation of friends of the dif
ferent candidates. All good citizens, without
reference to party differences, are alike interested,
and will, doubtless, aid in giving effect to the pro
posed arrangements.
EDITORIAL ACCESSION.
We have omitted to state that Capt. J. B. Wkkms
has become associate editor of the True Democrat,
of this city. We welcome him to tits new posi
tion, and extend to him our good wishes.
DEATH OF DAVID E- GRIFFIN, ESQ.

Scrupulous Correspondents. —The Postmaster
General has directed that when letters are depos

Deathof)J. 11. Ingraham — Rev J. 11. Ingraham,
formerly of Mobile, the well known author of The
Pillar of Fire,” “The Prince of the House of David,’’

was a wound from a pistol, which was accidentally
discharged as he was, taking it home from the
gunsmith's.
The Census of Maryland.— The total anioun

Thanksgiving Day in Berlin. —The 29th of No
vember was celehraed by the Americans in Berlin,
by a dinner at the residence of Minister Wright.
Oar preseut Doubles were the subject of a patriotic
speech by the Minister.
After the maintenance of the Union had beeu
advocated bv several other geutleuien with much
native enthusiasm, Baron von Flolxendnrf rose to t
tli3nk the American Minister for the kindly feel- j
ings expressed in beh&tf of the royal family and
the growing unity of father land. The eloquent
speaker, who’had a thorough command of the Eng
lish language, then glanced at the general “Bowie
kails” und ‘‘Lynch law” ideas attaching to Amer%
tea in many parts of the Old World. But was it
not better in have to suffer front the occasional
ebullitions of individual energy than from the lasi j
ing pressure and perpetual interference of a police j
system? litre the Germ tus present, mindful of !
the revelations of the last few days, led the storm ol j
applause, in which the Yankees heartily joined.
The Baron then thanked the Americans for having j
admitted a great number of German emigrants to j
the full enjoyment of political liberty—a boon j
which his couuirymen had not been able to secure I
in South America, und especially Brazil. He hop- j
ed that Germany would soon be formed into a
union of States, upon'the trans-Atlantic pattern, ‘’
and concluded by proposing “The health of the i
American Minister.”
Ilr. Hudson, the private secretary ot Mr. Wright, j
offered a toast to the Union, as based upon Uie I
Constitution. The maintenance of that Uonstitu- j
lion, he said, was guaranteed by the devotion and \
patriotism of good men; bul, should they fall in
the attainment of their end through the ordinary
and legitimate meuns, they would be entitled to ■
appeal to the last resource of citizenship, which j
was the first inalienable prerogative of all Ameri- j
cans, namely —the right of revolution.
Dr. Von Tellkampf, a member of the Prussian j
House of Lords, repeated the thanks of Herr Von ;
Holxeudorf, for the wishes of his trans-Atlantic \
friends in bebalfof the unity of Germany. Ameri- ;
ca had given the first practical proof of the possi- j
hility of joining into one common body of States, j
varying in size and Constitution. A similar
union must be realised in Germany, and that in
spite of the dislike evinced against the plan by all j
the petty princes of the land! At the conclusion
of the dinner, a large collection was made In be
half of the poor of this city. Towards the close of
the evening the company’ promenaded round the
the hall to the inspiriting strains of “Yankee Doo
dle.”
Philadelphia, Dec. 26.—Hod. Henry M. Fuller,
ex-member of Ci-ngress from the Honesdale dis
trict, died in th:s city this morning, of typhoid
fever. He was the defeated candidate in the sec
pad district last October.
SECESSION MEETING.
Augusta, Feb. 25th, ISBO.
In accordance with a previous notice, the seces
sionists assembled in vast numbers in the City
Hall, that they might hear from the lips of the
eloquent Col. 0. A. Lochrane, his reason for the
immediate secession of Georgia from the Federal
Union.
The Meeting, on motion of Cul. Snead, called
Cupt. John Ik. Weems to the chair, and John L.
Ells was requested to act as Secretary.
On motion, the chair appointed Messrs. Geo. T.
Barnes, Victor LaTaste, and Garland A. Snead a
committee to wait upon and introduce to the meet
ing Col. Lochrane.
Geo. T. Barnes, in behalf of the committee, pre
sented to the assemblage the speaker, who pro
ceeded to address himself more particularly to his
adopted fellow citizens—demonstrating to them
that their oaths of allegiance to the Constitution of
tbe United .States in no wise bound them to an
Abolition administration. Col. Lochrane spoke
about two hours aud a half, commanding all the
time the undivided attention and applause of his
bearers.
On the conclusion of Col. Lochrane s remarks,
three cheers were proposed and given for South
Carolina, and three more for the orator of the
evening.
On motion of J. C. Snead, Esq., the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted ;
Resolved, That it is recommended by this meet
ing, that tbe supporters of secession vote open
tickets, at the polls, on Wednesday next.
Resolved, That a committee of fourteen be
pointed by the chair, for the getting up and hav
ing prepared the tickets for the election, and all
connected therewith, and that the committee be
known as the Executive Committee.
The chairman appointed the following named
gentlemen as that committee:
John D. Butt, T. P. Stovall, R. H. May, C. Snead,
J. T. Miller, A. P. Boggs, S. 11. Crump, W. A.
Evans, M. Rice, 1. Mayer, J. J. Jacobus, R. Schley,
Edward Greenwood, G. W. L. Twiges.
It was resolved that the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Constitutionalist ,
Evening Dispatch, aud True- Democrat.
John B. Weems, Chairman.
John L. Ells, Secretary.
MEETING IN LINCOLN COUNTY.
Lincoln County, Ga., Dec. 25, 1860.
Agreeably to a call, a large portion of the citW
zens of Lincoln co., met at Cunningham’s store for
the purpose of nominating secession candidates to
represent them in the approaching State conven
tion. , ,
Upon motion, Mr. Benjamin Samuels took the
Chair, and Dr. T. F. Fleming acted as Secretary.
A motion was then made by R. H. Fleming,
that u committee of five be appointed to draft
resolutions for tbe consideration of the meeting.
‘file Chair then announced the following named
persons: R. H. Fleming, Henry Freeman, W. A.
Mosely, l)r. James Griffin, and Joel Lockhart.
Upon motion of Henry Freeman, the Chairman
acted with said committee; who, after a short ab
sence, made the following report, which was unan
imously adopted bv the meeting.
Whereas, the result of the late election shows
that Abraham Lincoln has been elected President
of these United States, a man professing princi
ples repugnant to the institution of slavery, obnox
oii3 to southern feeling, and degrading to southern
honor; and whereas, it is high time that we, in
state convention, should adopt some plan by which
uir rights can be permanently secured, und all
future grievances be prohibited, therefore be it
Resolved, That we assert the right of a State to
secede from this Union.
Resolved, That we deny the right of the Federal
Government to coerce any State back into the
Union.
Reso’red, That should a southern State secede
from this Union, and coercion be attempted by the
Federal Government, that we pledge to said State
all the assistance in our power for the purpose of
repelling anv invasion made by Federal authority.
Resolved, That should co-operation be deter
mined upon,and said co-operation cannot be effect
ed, it is tbe opinion of this meeting that Georgia
should resume her sovereignty—and withdraw
immediately from the Union, or prior to the fourth
of March.
A motion was then made by James,Remsen and
carried, that the proceedings ot this meeting be
published in the Constitutionalist and True Demo
crat.
Tbe meeting then adjourned.

From La Freese, of Paris, Dec. 4.
THE FRENCH PRESS ON DISUNION,
Fiance cannot be otherwise than proud to find
her protection claimed or her utli&nce sought by
all oppressed nationalities, and it is her interest
and iier glory not to tail in any of the obligations
that her high position imposes upon her. But in
the present case, (that of the proffered alliance of
the southern States,) the question of independence
is complicated by a question of slavery, aud the
one flings an unhappy shadow over the other.
France, who abolished slavery herself, cannot
even seem to protect it in other countries. Such
an idea eveu would do her u serious injury. The
Americans of South Carolina must, then, he per
suaded that if ever they obtain from the French
Government the moral support that they demand,
it will not be as proprietors, but in spite of their
being proprietors of slaves, and by virtue of the
principle, acknowledged for thirty years, that all
Governments de facto shall be recognised by the
Governments of Europe aud America.
There isonly oue of the divisions of the Union
in regard to which France can have, in certain
events, anv more extended rights and duties. It
is Louisiana as it geographically existed when it
was ceded by us to the Ui.ited States in 1803. The
treaty of cession guaranteed to the French colo
nists’ and their descendants the enjoyment of their
property and of their civil and religious rights.
The vast and rich territory of Louisiana lias form
ed since,then, besides the State itself of Louisiana,
the States of Missouri,” Arkansas, lowa, parts of
Alabama and Wisconsin, and the Territories of
Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. Every time
that one of these had to be organised or admitted
to the Confederation, the slave proprietors have
invoked their rights guaranteed to them by the
treaty of 1803. The right of Arkansas, founded
on this argument, was recognised by John Quincy
Adams himself in 1836. The Governor of Nebras
ka invoked the same argument in vetoing the bill
to prohibit the introduction of slaves into the Ter
ritory, and this doetnue is also to be found in the
decision of the Supreme court of the Uuited
States rendered in the case of the negro Dred
Scott.
These are the historical and judicial precedents,
which will not be without value in case any se
rious attack is made upon the civil, political, and
religions rights of the ancient territory of Louisi
ana! But the institution es slavery—was it a por
tion of these rights forever guaranteed? And these
rights, are they really ignored? These arc ques
tions that France can neither raise nor solve, and
which she cannot be called upon to examine, ex
cept at the request of the Louisiana authorities.
At present this State, happily, seems to take no
part in the disunion movement. There is, un
doobtedly, an extreme party, which is recruited
chiefly from the country planters, whose principal
wealth is in slave property, and whose revenue
lies in the produce of the soil. But, by strange
contrast, while southern agriculturists are the most
determined in favor of slavery, the most fanatical
Abolitionists are to be found among the agricul
turists of the North.
The sea coast’towus, on the contrary, are strong
ly conservative. New \ ork gave twentv-1 ve thou
sand majonty|against Lincoln; New Orleans voted
for Bell, and Charleston, Savannah and all other
southern ports have, to a certain extent, opposed
the tide of schism proclaimed at Augusta and Co
lumbia. The reason is that the maritime towns
understand better than all others that the prosper
ity of the Union depends upon union; and that in
rupture the basis of its success is destroyed!
Commercial instiuct rises m them to the height ol
political intuition, and merchants and traders are
at this time the truest patriots.
France has in the United States the same inter
est that these large towns have, and ought to fol
low the same line of conduct. The rupture cf the
Union will entail more risks than beuetits ; lot
while the commerce of England and the whole of
Europe will be admitted, with our own, to the free
ports of the new Confederation, the northern Cou
i federation will immediately seek, in an exclusive
1 alliance tvilh England, a counterpoise to the south
ern agreement w'ith France. War will inevitably
flow from this antagonism. Having as allies slave
proprietors, w*e will be forced, by the nature ot
things, to defend their institutions, and to toler
ate their plan of annexing Mexico and the island
of Cuba, which the North up to this time has alone
prevented.
France will never lay herself open to such a
course. She ought not to allow the southern
States to deceive themselves in this matter. Site
cannot even lend such conseut as silence may af
ford ; her duty is to labor with all her power to
prevents dissolution. There ought not to be for
us, on the other side of the Atlantic, either south
ern Americans or northern Americans, but States
whose union is important to the equilibrium of the
world. The American marine is uot less neces
sary to France than the Russian, Spanish and
Italian navies, to prevent a Hiugle power from
seizing the empire of the seas.
France was the fir3t ally of the United States—
we hope that she will now he their counsellor, and
expose the abyss into which they are hurrying
—an abvss in which will b? buried forever a past
mos* glorious and a future most hopeful. For
the American Union, separation is suicide ; it is
murder of a great nation and a great principle.
France cannot lend a band to this suicide aud this
murder. She has helped to make this people
she will never help to destroy them.
Such are, we are convinced, the sentiments of
our Government.
Deek Forest.—The largest modern doer for
est is that of the Duke of Athol, which, accord
ing to his evidence in the late case of the Karl
! of Werayss against Campbell of Mouzte, extends
to four hundred thousand acres. Tito next is
tho forest of Farqtihason of Invereatild, but
which is partly under sheep and partly under
deer, altogether about one huudred and thirty
thousand Scotch acres. Next to which ranks
Lord Fife’s forest, of Mar, about sixty thousand
acres. There are a number of other deer forests
of much smaller extent, but the extent is not
much increased of late years; and by compari
son it will be found that the extent of ground
under deer is now much less than it was a hun
dred years ago. —[Perthshire Courier.

RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY FLOYD
EXCITEMEXr IN CHARLESTON—LABOR
ERS LEFT—VUNS UNSPIKED.
Charleston, D t e. 29. There was considerable
interest excited tiis afternoon, and speculations
freely indulged, as o the causes, when the bulletin
board, in front of tie Mercury office announced
that Secretary FLoYf,had resigned his seat in the
Cabinet. Some thought that the cause originated
from the belief that )r. Bichanax has determined
to send rein force tints to Charleston —others
thought that it nnghihe connected with troubles
which have resulted from the late robbery in
Washington—and fcfious surmises were indulged.
The steamship Cey-stone State took about
twenty of the uecLtiics and laborers from Fort
Sumter to-day. ley refused to do military duty
under Major at the fort, and insisted
upon being sentoack to Philadelphia. They left
this afternoon, f four o’clock, and, on leaving,
gave, from the >er deck of the steamship, three
cheers for Soatl Carolina, and three more for
State rights.
The half dozeiKuns which were spiked at Fort

WASHIH’ON AFFAIRS.
Washington, DeG9. —The President states that
as it was never stipated by him that the troops
in Charleston harbi ihould be withdrawn there
from, the Administ ion does not consider that
it is under any obit, ion to withdraw them now.
And as to the reqn of the Commissioner for
the restoration of t military status of Charles

Cabiuet as impoasib
Messrs. Flotd, Th PsoN,and Thomas, who hold
to the Constitutional'lit of secession, were sepe
rated from the other mbersofthe Cabinet on
this South CaiolioatiStion.
No positive coacl in was arrived at in the
Cabinet meeting to-o although the action that
was taken was ceitai not favorable to the Com
missioners. This; st rnent is strengthened by
the fact that Scere Floyd resigned his office
to-day. It is said th Secretary Thompson would
have resigned also, re it not that the pending
investigation of the 1 sell-Bailky affair made i t
imperative for him t< main.
A report prevails, and it is believed to be cor

FROM THE
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN.
The Analysis ot‘ this (il AIsO
hy Prof. Campbell Mokfit, of
New York, fully substantiated
by Prof. Joseph Jones, of this
city, shows it contains (>8 per
cent, of Phosphate of Lime, and
1 per cent, of Ammonia, avit 1 1
some Potash, Soda, and Magne
sia.
We had but ten barrels of it
in time for last Spring’s Crops.
The reports from the Planters
who used it then, are, without
exception, very favorable : and
we believe it to be a valuable
Fertiliser.
The price of it is Forty Dol
lars, cash; or Forty-Five Dollars,
credit until November next,
without interest.
We invite Planters to give it
a fair trial.

ROMAN EYE BALSAM.
FOR
INFLAMED EYELIDS,
COMMONLY CALLED.
SORE EYES.
TIIII.S BALSAM was used for many years in the private
. practice of a celebrated Oculist, with the greatest success.
In cases where the Eyelids are inflamed, or the Pall of the
Eye thick!, covered w.th blood. It acts almost like magic, and
removes all appearances ot inflammation after two or three
applications. There is a numerous class of persons that are
peculiarly exposed to accidents or diseases that w. aken and
inflame the Eyes, and perhaps destroy tlie sight, such as mi
ners. mechanics, and other operatives in metal, who, from thu
nature of their employments, are compelled to work in a
cloud of dust aud grit. Read the t-llowing evidence :
~ . , . Binubamitus, Jan. 7.1854.
Messrs. A. B. & D. Sanos—
Gentlemen : Your HOMAN EY’E BALSAM, which I was
recommended to use for my daughter's eves, has acted on
them like a charm. Her eyes, which had for several mouths
been very much swollen and inflamed, after a few weeks’
use of the BALSAM, were perfectly cured and well as ever.
Yours truly, M. FOLEY'.
