This is no time for those devoted to these principles, to abandan their organization, either State or National. It is a time when they should stand in lirmer and in more solid column. £t is the time when all true men who look to prin ciples as an object higher than party, should strike »for the country, anu strike in that way in which their power can be most efficiently felt. These views, my fellow-citizens, of the Eighth District, I submit to you. They are given with that frankness with which I have always spoken to you. If there is anything in them that falls harshly upon the ear of any one, he will please pardon it. It is not my intention to be offensive -to any one. They are my own sentiments upon some of the public topics of the day, which you were entitled to know, upon tile announce ment of my name as a candidate for your suffrages. Consider them, and weigh them as the importance of the subjects demands. If you see tit to elect me, the utmost of ray a ility as iu times past shall be devoted to your service. 1 shall assume the trust without any personal ob jects or aims to accomplish. I have no ambition but to serve my country, and to see it advancing throughout its whole length and breadth in ail that will add to its peace, development, happiness, and greatness.

Thomas W. Thomas. Elbbrton, Ga., Aug. lu, 1857. Mu. James A. Sledge — Dear Sir: When I was 'n Athens last week, you remarked that many of our friends misunderstood my position in relation •to our candidate for Governor, and that the impres sion prevailed to some extent, that my late letter to the Constitutionalist was calculated and perhaps Untended to influence the public mind against Judge Brown. You requested that I would write you on this point, and permit the letter to be published. I willingly do so, and you arc at liberty to publish what I shall say, if you think proper. I have no inclination to have my name paraded in, the newspapers, as the writer of letters for the public eye, and I trust this may be the last time it will be necessary to do so, during the present cam paign. I am under no obligation to any party, and I am resolved never to abandon that position of personal independence. The right to say and publish what l believe to be the truth, I shall never abandon, but shall maintain, cost what it may. A freeman ought to despise himself, if he took coun sel of his fears, when treachery stalked abroad, and duty to his country demanded that he should •peak out. When I gave my views and opinions to the public, in a late letter to the Constitutional ;V, and subsequently in a communication signed “ Troup,” published iu the daily of that paper of the 6th inst., I knew as well as I do now, that vil ification aud abuse would be heaped upon n»e. Ignorance of me and my motives, causes some of them so to act; they will become better informed ’a a few months, aud l doubt not will acknowledge %„the injustice they have done me. The others I do not regard. I am perfectly indifferent to their praises or curses. Like mAnkeys, they will bite any body for the one who holds them. Mr. Bu chanan holds them now, and they bite me; if I held them, I could as easily make them bite him. How sisal* an impression us you spoke of could have prevailed, is hard to explain. In my letter I sav, “ But where will you go and w hom will you join? This question has been pressed bv some who would have us succumb to power and yield cur rights. For myself, I will join no cue—l will go no where. The Democracy of Georgiu, by a vote of more than twelve to one, have adopted sound southern principles, and we.have a candidate who expresses his cordial approval of them. Let those who wish to surrender to the Administration look out for some place to go to and some party to join.” l should think this language was explicit enough io satisfy even the most suspicious that I had no ambition to become the head of a new party, or to bold the Democracy of Georgia responsible for the treachery of the man who has deceived them by violating his pledges, still less to visit upon the head of Judge Brown the sins which Mr. Buchanan nas committed. Why should I not support Judge Brown *? lie has not denounced Mr. Buchan airs conduct, as I have felt it my duty to do, audio that respect he does not agree with me; but there is not a word in his letter of acceptance or in any published account of his speeches that indicates his intention to repu diate the third resolution. I know it has been baid by the opposition papers, that bv saying he approved the platform ot principle#, he intended to avoid expressing any approval of the third resolu tion. I cannot believe Judge Brown would be guilty of so flimsy a trick, and I will not re tiiy to such criticism. 1 presume the author of this philological feat, himself, does not believe it. Holding, then, my opinions of Mr. Buchanan, can I trust Judge Brown in refusing to denounce him V My answer is, I can; and for several reasons which I will give you. lie has expressed his approval of he principles adopted by the Democratic Conven tion. He, perhaps, has not yet lost ail hope that Mr. Buchanan will yet develop some policy or give -some reason for what I regard as downright trea son to his solemn vows and pledges. 1 have lost this hope utterly. lam deliberately convinced'he is resolved on our ruin by betraying us; but I nee hoped differently. When I voted for the thirdTesolution, I did not doubt Walker would be . etnove l. Now would it be jus*, or sensible in me to desert Judge Brown because he cheishes this bone longer than I find myself able to? But suppose Judge Brmvu had lost all hope, and itili refused to denounce our enemy, ought we then to desert him? I think not, so long as he agrees with us substantially, in principle—l say : übstudially, because exact conformity even in prin ciple is not always to be had betweeu a candidate aud those who vote for him. Now. Judge Brown has approved the principles of the Democratic conven tion, just as we wrote them, unci shall I oppose him because it does not comport with his judg ment of what is proper, to use or approve denun ciations which I thought and still think are just, righteous and w ? In addition to these reasons, I think it a matter •of nc small importance to maintain the Democratic party, State and national, so long as they maintain our 'rights. Our present complaint agaiust Mr. Buchanan is, that by fraud and management, he .s endeavoring to deprive the South of Kansas, and vet, outside of the National Democratic party, I presume there is not a man to be found at the North who was, or is, in favor of removing the Missouri restriction, which was a total, aud intend ed to be an eternal prohibition of the right of slaveholders to emigrate to that part of the public lands. We must not forget this fact, in m king war on Mr. Buchanan. He has deceived us, and we ought to meet him with a stern and indignant opposition. But he is not sustained in his lute conduct by the Democratic party of a single Slate in the Union, and until he is, it would be unjust and hurtful to the interests of the South to quar rel, for his treachery, with those North or South who united with us in his election. Individual members of the party have sustained him, both North and South; but it is not safe to judge the Democracy or any other party except by the acts and principles of their candidates, and the resolu tions of their conventions. Judged by these, I am authorized to say the Democracy have not yet sustained the unlawful conduct of the President. If they should do so, then the Democracy will be come "no better than the Black Republicans; and la that event, I see no reason why they should not nominate Fremont for Buchanan’s successor, for they will have deserted the only principle that dis tinguished them from Fremont’s par y. There is another view of the matter that ought uottobe lost sightofby those Democrat* in Georgia who have lost all confidence in the President, and are determined, to the utmost of their ability, to make him know and feel their opposition, by vot ing against his friends. We have two parties in Ge .u rg [?’ and ia . probability shall have but two the Democratic and American. The Democratic P* by the action of its convention, stands all right, in plain and unmistakable opposi tion to the conduct of Buchanan—let us inquire where the American party stands on that subject. I’u their late convention, the American party say “ we have seen nothing which we regard as new” in what the Democrats regard as walker’s treachery; and further, th ttt «: principles main tained, and the policy advised, are identical with the principles forth in the Kansas-Nebraska bill as advocated by the National Democracy, with the Cincinnati platform, and Mr. Buchanan’s ieiicr of acceptance and inaugural address.*"’ Here is a full statement of their position on this subject, extracted from the record of their proceed ings. If they are right in this position, neither A\ alter nor Buchanan has done wrong, and the American party are bound to sustain them. In their convention, in 1855, the American party endorsed the principles ot the Kansas bill, except the alien suffrage feature, in the strongest and most explicit language, even to the extent of declaring that all opposed to those principles were unfit to be party associates of theirs. Now, if there is nothing new to them in Walker’s policy, if “the principles maintained and the policy advised are identical with the principles set forth in the Kansas-Nebras ka bill,” aud they are in favor of those princi ples, as they solemnly declared they were in 1855, where is the wrong done by Walker, and what excuse can the American party give for not sus taining him ? But, it may be said, perhaps, in answer to this, that t lie Kansas bill had two constructions—a north ern and southern one. This is true, it had the two constructions—the South held that the Terri torial Legislature had no power to exclude slavery while in a Territorial condition, but that this could only be done when they came to form a State Con stitution. Some men at the North, on the contrary, held that tiie Territ* rial Legislature had the pow er to admit or exclude slavery. The American party claimed, that in their reso lution at Macon, iu 1855, they endorsed the princi ples of the Kansas bill, according to the southern construction, excluding the power of the Territo rial Legislature over slavery, which they called squatter screen ignty. We will admit this, and that such was the sense in which they intended to be understood. Mr. Buchanan held the same opinion, distinctly, in his inaugural address. In that docu ment he plainly adhered to the southern construc tion; and if it be true,as the late American convention declare, that the principles of the Kansas bill, as advocated in the inaugural address of Mr. Bu chanan, are identical with the principles and policy of Gov. Walker in Kansas, then the conclusion ■ cannot be resisted that the principles and policy of Gov. Walker are identical with the principles and policy of the American party in 1855, and they did him nothing but justice when they declared they saw “ nothing new ” in those principles. This construction of their late resolution and past history is inevitable; the language used is too plain for equivocation or denial, and yet a member of the American convention told me two days ago, that such was not the mcauing intended to becon • veyed. This is doubtless true, so far as he is con cerued, and it may be true as to the others. If it is, there are but two possible explanatians of the language used—either the convention totally forgot what they had done two years before, or they m ‘ tended to be interpreted by the rule of contraries, that is, to be understood as meaning exactly the reverse of what they said. I doubt not the American party in thus endors ■ mg Walker, did not truly represent thousands of i voters iu their own ranks—yet the battle must be I fought and decided on the principles respectively declared. Bv that light, the verdict will be con strued here and in other States; and thus con L strued, the election of the American nominee tor Governor, will be a strong endorsement , of Walker’s conduct by the people of Georgia. I lam aware that Mr. Hill* in his letter of accept . ance, speaks as a true southern man should ot Walker and his conduct, thus going as far as a ' party man could go against his party, in retriev l ing their sad mistake ; yet in the same letter he [ makes obeisance to the obnoxious resolution, and says there is no word or act of bus life in conflict with it. In view of these facts, I think it w ill be conceded f that the Democratic party of Georgia, and their [ candidate, must get a great deal worse titan they , are at present, before we can reasonably expect any advantage to the lights of the South* bv sup -1 porting the American nominee in preference to our own. Very respectfully, Thomas W. Thomas. [communicated.] Troup. If Gov. Johnson should appoint Troup, Judge of his Circuit, and in the administration of his office he should wilfully (not a «upposable case, | except for argument,) violate both the statute and ; Constitution, does that make Got. Johnson guilty l of perjury under his oath to support the Constitu -1 tion? Ifit does not, then is Buchanan not guilty of perjury in Walker’s alleged violation of the ’ Kansas act ; and Troup, so famous for his chival i ry, ought to take back on that point. ’ But his complaint is, taat Walker is not remov , ed. Why not? It is said the people of Kansas approve his course. Troup impresses my mind, ; that he intends to bo understood, that Walker is responsible, having brought about the state of things that now exist in Kansas. Now, if I were [ talking about Troup in such language as he uses ; about Walker and Buchanan, on a charge of this 1 sort, he would demand some proof of the truth of my [ charge; if I could produce none, I would have to , take back. He has offered none. Ought he not to take back ? Polk. > _ i f communicated.] Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: I notice in the Temper • ance Crusader of the 13th instant, an editorial, un ‘ gentlemanly and false, concerning my piece signed i “Fair Play.” It is due to the American parly of i Greene, for me to state I was mistaken in stating 1 that Judge Brown was altogether refused a hear ’ ing. I was not present at the meeting, at the par , tieular stage of its proceedings. However, in the - presence of others, I was informed by a creditable 1 gentleman, that Brown had been refused a hearing ' on any term* whatever. I was requested to write . an article for your paper—l did so—therefore, the • mistake. Mr. Brown was invited, however, by a i Democratic committee, Mr. Hill by an Americen ' one. I was absent, at Cotoosa, or the mistake would [ have been corrected sooner. The Crusader is • taken by the people of Georgia in view of its tem perance principles, and the editor, be he who he may’, in writing that article, violated his pledge of . neutrality, thereby spreading a base deception to > add one spark to the dying flames of Know Noth • ingism. John G. Stokes, Alias “Fair Play.” [communicated.] Pexfield, Ga., Aug. 15, 1857. Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: I notice in the Tcmper i atice Crusader , a piece written by the editor in re ply to “ Fair Play,” The Crusa | der says “Fair Play” is in error all the way through, and seems to have labored very hard to manufac • ture a lie. “ Fair Play” did exaggerate a little, I • admit, but not so much as the Crusader , for it lies ’ most awfully when it says the moti nto invite the . candidates for Governor here, would have passed unanimously. i There were not ten in the court-house outside ihe D nocrats, who would have voted for the mo tion, and this the editor of the Crusader knows. He says Maj. R. L. McWhorter moved that B. 11. Hill be iuvited by the American party, and that the opposite party be requested to invite Judge Brown to meet Hill at that point. This is not so. Maj. McWhorter moved that the > American party invite their candidate, and let the Democratic party invite Brown, if they wanted him there. There was no committee appointed to notify the Democratic party of any such resolu • tion. i The Crusader lies, when it say’s their party knew ; the object of our meeting, for numbers came up and asked the object of the metting. I think if the Crusader would write on temper • ance and not on politics, he could dispense with a | few of his patent medicine notices and such hum t bugs, and make his paper more interesting; for if . it was not for its contributors, it could not last a i day.

Squatter Sovereignty—Extract from the Decision of the Supreme Court cl* the United States in the Dred Scott Case. But until that time arrives, it is undoubtedly necessary that some government should be es tablished, iu order to organize society, and to pro tect the inhabitants in their persons and property; ; and as the people of the United States could act in • this matter only through the government which • represented them, and through which they spoke 1 and acted when the Territory was obtained, it was 1 not only within the scope of its powers, but it was ■ its duty to pass such laws and establish such a gov • eminent us would enable those by whose authority l they acted to reap the advantages anticipated from 1 its acquisition, and to gather there a population which would enable it to assume the position to 1 which it was destined among the States of the Union. The power to acquire necessarily carries 7 with it the power to preserve and apply to the pur -1 poses for which it was acquired. The form of gov • eminent to be established necessarily rested in the r discretion of Congress. Jt was their duty to estab lish the one that would be best suited for the pro tection and security of the citizens of the United States, and other inhabitants who might be author ized to take up tluir abode there, ami that must al ways depend upon the existing condition of the Ter ritory, as to the number and character of its in • habitants, and their situation in the Territory. , In some cases, a government consisting of persons appointed by the federal government, would best subserve the interests of the Territory, when the inhabitants were few and scattered, and new to one another. In other instances, it would be more • advisable to commit the powers of self-government . to the people who had settled in the Territory, as being the most competent to determine what was ! best for their own intetests. But some form of ■ civil authority would be absolutely uecessary to organize and preserve civilized society and prepare . it to become a State; and what is the best form must always depend on the condition of the Terri tory at the time, and the choice of the mode must • depend upon the exercise of a discretionary power » by Congress, acting within the scope of its con s stitutional authority, and not infringing upon the , rights of persons or rights of pi operty of the citizen ' who might go there to reside, or for any other law • ful purpose. It was acquired by the exercise of i this discretion, and it must be held and governed ’ in like manner, until it is fitted to be a State. ( But the power of Congress over the person or property of a citizen can never be a mere dis • cretionary power under our Constitution and form of government, and the rights and privileges of the citizen are regulated and plainly defined by the Constitution itself. And when the Territory be comes a part of the United States, the Federal gov • eminent enters into possession in the character . impressed upon it by those who created it. It I enters upon it with its powers over the citizen strictly defined, and limited by the Constitution, 1 from which it derives its own existence, and ; by virtue of which alone it continues to exist . as a government and sovereignty. It has no power of any kind beyond it; and it cannot, when it enters a Territory of the United States, put off 1 its character, and assume discretionary or despotic ■ powers which the Constitution has denied to it. ; It cannot create for itself a new character separated , from the citizens of the United States, and the duties it owes them under the provisions of the Constitution. The Territory being a part of the United States, the government and the citizen both enter it under the authority of the Con- I stitution, with their respective rights defined and marked out; and the Federal government cun exercise no power over his person or property beyond what that instrument confers, nor lawfully deny any right which it has reserved. A reference to a few of the provisions of the Constitution will illustrate this proposition. For example, no one, we presume, will contend that Congress can make any law in a Territory respecting the establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, orfthe right of the people of the Territory peaceably to assemble, and to peti tion the government for the redress of grievances. Nor can Congress deny to the people the right to keep and bear arms, nor the right to trial by jury, nor compel any one to be a witness against himself in a criminal proceeding. These powers, and others, in relation to rights of person, which it is not necessary here to emi ’ me rate, are, in express andjiosi live terms, denied ’ to the general government; and the rights of pro perty iiave been guarded with equal care. Thus i the rights of property are united with the rights of . person, and placed on the same ground by the fifth I amendment to the Constitution, which provides that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, aud property, without due process of law. And i an act of Congress which deprives a citizen of the . United States of his liberty or property, merely because he came himselfor brought Ins property into a particular Territory of the United States, ■ and who had committed no offence againat the laws, ■ could hardly be dignified with the name of due . process of law. So, too, it will hardly be contended that Con fress could by law quarter a soldier in a house in a erritory without the consent of the owner, in time ‘ of peace; nor in time of war, but in a manner [ prescribed by law. Nor could they by law forfeit . the property of a citizen m a Territory who was convicted of treason, for a longer period than the life of the person convictd: nor take private property for public use without just compensation. The powers over person and property, of which we speak, are not only not granted to Congress, but are in express terms denied, and they are forbidden to exercise them. And this prohibition is not confined to the States, but the words are general, and extend to the whole Territory over which the Constitution gives it power to legislate, including • those portions of it remaining under territorial government, as well as that covered by States. It is a total absence of power everuwhei'e within the of the United States, and places th^itizen of a Territory, to far at these right* are concerned on the same footing with citizens of the states, and guards them at firmly and plainly against any inroads which the General government might attempt, under the plea of implied or incidental powers. And if Con gress itself cannot do this—if it is beyond the powers conferred on the. federal government —it will be ad mitted, we presime, that utould not authorize a Ter ritorial government to exercise them. It could con fer no power oitany local government, establihed by its authority, to violate the provisions of the Con stitution. It seems, however, to be supposed, there is a difference between property in a slave and other property, and that different rules may be applied to it in expounding the Constitution of ftie United States. And the laws and usages of nations, and the writings of emiueut jurists upon the relation of master and slave and their mutual rights, duties, and the powers <*nich governments may exercise over it, have been dwelt upon in the argument. But in considering the question before us, it must be borne in mind that there is no law of na tions standng between the people of the United States and their government, and interfering with their relation to each other. The powers of the government, and the rights of the citizen under it, are positive and practical regulations plainly written down. The people of the United Stales have delegated to it certain enumerated powers, and forbidden it to exercise others, It has no power over the person or propertv of a citizen but what the citizens of the United States have granted. _ And no laws or usages of other nations, or reasoning of statesmen or jurists upon the re lations of master and slave, can enlarfn? the powers of the government, or take from the citizen the rigli ts t hey have reserved. And i f the Constitution recognises the right of property of the master in a slave, anu makes no distinction between that de scription ot property and other propertv owned by a citizen, no tribunal,acting under the authority of the United Mates, whether it be legislative ex ecutive, or judicial, has a right to draw such a’dis tinction, or deny to it the benefit of the provisions and guarantees which have been provided for the protection ot private property against the encroach ments of the government. Now, as Wtj have alreadV said in an earlier part of this opinion, upon a different point, the right of property in a slave is distinctlv and expressly af firmed in the Constitution. The right to traffic in it, like an ordinary article of merchandise and pro perty* was guarantied to the citizens of the United States, in every State that might desire it, for twenty years. And the government in express terms is pledged to protect it in all future time, if the slave escapes from his owner. This is done in plain words—too plain to be misunderstood. And no word can be found in the Constitution which gives Congress a greater power over slave property , or which entitles property that kind to less protection than property of any other description. The only power conferred is the power coupled icith the duty of guarding and protecting the owner in his rights. Upon these considerations, it is the opinion of the Court that the act of Congress which prohibit ed a citizen from holding and owning property of this kind in the Territory of the United States, North of the line therein ‘mentioned, is not war ranted by the Constitution, and is therefore void ; and that neither Dred Scott himself, nor any of his family, were made free by being carried into this Territory, even if they had been carried there by the owner, with the intention of becoming a permanent resident. From the Charleston Mercury. Heath moor, Dodoherty Co.. Ga., | August 10th, 1857. ) Messrs. Editors: Probably it would interest some persons to know the prospects of the crops in this section. Corn crops are generally good; there will be an abundance of the staff of life. Wheat and oats have turned out well. Cotton crops are gen erally poor, and from four to five weeks later than ordinary years. The excessive wet weather has caused the plant to run too much to weed, and very little fruit. We have had some tvventy-tive days of continued wet weather, and not a day within that time but what we have had more or less rain, and some of the heaviest showers I ever recollect of witnessing. On the 17th July, 1853, I sold a bale of cotton in this market; in 1854, I had a bale picked on the sth August; in 1855, I had one ready for market on the 7th ; and on the 3d of Au gust I sold a bale in Americus in 1856 ; and now, the 10th, 1 have not a boll open. It will be the Ist September before any cottou will be open sufficient to commence picking. There must be some great c hange favorable to the maturing of the plant, or the crop will be short. Mark my prediction: the cottou crop of 1857 will fall under three million of bales. I am «atisfiedT that my crop has fallen off fully one-fourth, and many others to the same ex tent. Mills Stoppkd.— The number of cotton looms thut have stopped in New England, in consequence of the high price of <uy|rj, aud the low price of goods, is about six and orders have been given to stop mriWUfe, as'fast as the yarn runs out. We heard Ifftelv of two large mills that will run only till the cotton now in process of manufacture is exhausted. This is the only remedy. We talk of the short supply of cotton. The evil is not there ; it is the over supply of cot ton machinery. The looms now in operation are not only too many for the supply of cotton ; they are too many for the demand for cotton goods at anything like the prices which alone, at the pres ent cost of the raw material, can return a new dol lar for an old one. In England, thirty thousand looms have been stopped, and prices have quickly responded to this judicious curtailment of produc tion. — Providence Journal. COMMERCIAI 7. Augusta Market, August IH—I P. M. COTTON.—The stocks are ao much reduced, and the quan tity offering for sale so very limited, that we deem it unnccus sary to say but little. Some small lots find buyers for home factories at prices ranging from 14% to 10* cents. There are some parcels of Cotton on the market limited at 16 cents, but dealers show no disposition to pay such a price. The Crops. —We find some difference of opinion, among in telligent planters, as to the probable effect, on the growing Cotton crop, of the long continued wet weather. Immediately followed by the extreme heat of the present time. Some farmers think that the weed will grow rank and shed its forms, while others think differently ; although we have heard none express the opinion that the crop would exceed that of last year in their localities. HEAVY COTTON GOODS.—These commodities are held at full prices, in consequence of the gradual appreciation of the raw material. The stocks arc light. We quote for Augus ta Manufacturing Company’s goods, 7-8 Shirtings, 8 cents; l-l Sheetings 9*; 7-3 Osnaburgs 14* cents. For Belleville and Richmond Factory goods, Osnaburgs 12*; Stripes 13* cents. BACON.—There appears to lie an indisposition on the part of holders to sell, unless at an advance. Shoulders arc scarce, and during past week advanced fully a cent a pound. We quote for Shoulders 14011* cents; Clear Sides 18 cents; Western ribbed 16016* cents. The business is mostly con fined to supplying plauters’orders; but in large wholesale operations lower figures than we report would have to be sub mitted to. CORN.—The stock of Com is light, and former prices fully maintained. We quote $1 to $1 10. FLOUR.—Neither buyers nor sellers have much confidence in Hour, and prices continue to decline. City Mills Superfine are quoted nominally at $7 50. and Extra sß®#B 50. Country brands are dull of sale, and, in fact, all kinds of flour, in quantities, can he bought at less than our quotations. "We hear of some fine brands of flour, Superfine, offe ring at §6 500 Vj 75.

M. and Mary L. Carter, . aged six years, si ven months and twenty-six days. The illness ’ which closed the brief life of this loved child, continued ov**r 1 two months, and was attended with acute suffering, which she bore with gentle patience. The angel who so often visits our green earth has born* to the Hissful bowers of paradise a bud of fairest earthly promise to bloom there in immortal beauty. !* Little Tumpy, the name she was best known by, was a child -of a rare loveliness of person and character, gay. gladsome and strangely winning. What wonder that during the few sunny years of her bright life she had entwined herself about the innermost fibres of her parent’s hearts. Blessed from infancy with buoyant health, rosy, bright, and sparkling with mirth, s HO stain of earth had ever darkened her fair brow until the spoiler set his seal upon it. The dark and dreary blank now created in the family circle, whose brightest link Has thus been r severed, words cannot tell; but the darling babe on whose precious form even the breeze might not blow too roughly, is safely housed from every stonu. C. *• ’Tis the work of many a dark hour, ami of many a prayer to bring the heart back from an infant gone.” 80 think the loving parents of little Clara who £ died in Warrenton, on Friday, the 7th of August, instant, aged eight months and seven d ys. She was the infant daughter of James L.. and Lilly Ann Cody, and the first and only pledge 1 of affection. Bes re her infant lips could lisp a mother’s name, or know a mother’s love, the spoiler came, aud the little rose bud. so often regaled by a parent’s smile, droops aud dies. Hearts of the youthful parents bleed at the afflicting stroke, • but the faith ot the Christian sees the flower of earth trans -5 planted in the g*ardeu of the skies, and bears its cherub voice 'midst the redeemed choiristera-of Heaven.
