vegetation, were thinned out with us from the

gate from Franklin appeared highly satisfied
until the scene in the Duke s palace, where
Othello is arraigned for marrying tlie fair and j
beautiful Desdemona. Here he knit his brows i
and looked daggers at the sooty general; but!
when Desdemona herself entered and joined .
in tlie defence of her husband, and he turned

them,”

Beware of War Rumors.
Augusta, April I.—Telegraph reports, from
persons not connected with the Associated
Press, were sent out from Washington
and N.'w York on yesterday, announcing
that the President of the United States had re
-1 i vivid special advices that war had coinmenc-
■ ed in Europe, and that the armies were uiov-
I iug ’
As soon as this reached the agent of the As-
■ s: elated Press in this city, he promptly commu
i nicated it back to sVashington, and requested
| either a confirmation or repudiation of it. The
answer came back that thore was no fotinda
: lion for it. The President ot the United States
I had no later intelligence from Europe than mid
I been communicated throughout the country
i by the Associated Press.
Jt is legitimate enough tor the public to en
tertain Uieirown opinions us to the probabili
ties of peace or warm Europe, but it is not
right to spread those opinions before t..e coun
try umler the coloring of tacts sustained by
special dispatches sent to or received by tiie

C'U.U.)mTEM TO JAIL.
On Tuesday lust Daniel and James Cofilin,
two Irishmen, were brought before Magistrates
' Dorman mid McCrary, mi a cliurge oi having
! purchased a quantity of stolen Bacon from ne
: groes. tiie Bacon was identified a.- belonging
llu Reuben biappy. they were charged also
wun hui mg sold spirituous liquors ut various
times to negroes. Alter a tall miei.tigalion oi
the matter they were committed to jail, not
bemg abic to give the bond required.
A cotemporary in noticing the killing
<>f Col. Joseph Bond by tiie nerseer Brown,
makes the following sensible and feeling ic-
I marks:
There is something peculiarly touching in
1 the maimer in which Mr. Bond rushed to a
venge a wanton cruelty to I.is old and faithful
servant.. It was not the ralue ot the negro
that had been affected—for lie was old, and
his master one <if the wealthiest men in the
South. But it was the cruelty to a faithlul
servant; he had been cruelly, mid as his mas
ter thought, unnecessarily punished, and this
he could not stand ; “Le became excited to
phrenzy," mi l sacrificed his own life to avenge
the wrong done his negro. Whatever may be
said of Mr Bond's imprudence and rashness
in his assaulting Brown, as he did, all must ap
plaud that noble and self-sacrificing impulse
w hich caused him to strike in defei.ee of his
injured servant.
We think, tee, this case brings out, in bold
relief, on the one side, those tender relations
which generally exist between a good and hu
mane master and his hiitlifnl servants; which
is a domestic tie of great affection and strength,
but little inferior to that of parent and child.
On the other side, the case we noticed a few ]
days since, tried in our own comity at the last
term of the Court, where the negro w illingly
struck in defence of hi- master, illustrates that
on the part of the servant.
The.-c instances would better explain the re
lations ol master and servant i:i the South,
than all the effusions of Mrs. Stowe, and the
aboliton crew combined,
Fall of the Tower.
The Atlanta intelligencer of Saturday states
that the Tower on the Stone Mountain was
thrown down by tlie storm on the 2bth ol last
month.
Dug Trains on the Lakes.—A leker from
Bay county, Michigan, thus describes the dug
trains on the lakes, by which the mails are
earned during the winter months:
“ We hare during the close ol navigation,
what we call die “dog mail, and, by the by, 1
will describe to you how our mail is ernied in
;liis new a.id wild country, ine route is from
Saginaw city tu Green Bay or Mackmaw, by
laud. The contract is tuKeu by hull-breeUs,
French aud Indiau, hardy, athletic men. They
have the tiling so arranged that one train ol
dogs leaves each end ol Hie route every week.
That gives all the offices ou the bay shore a
mail a week each way. Ihe train iseomjiused
of from four to six large dogs, harnessed in
single tile, and attached to wliat they call a
“tranoe.” This is n kind of dray, some seven
feet long and about til teen inches wide, turned
up beiore, so that it will run easily over the
suow, on which they bind their mail bags first,
then their blankets, snow shoes; provisions,
hatchets, Ac. They are prepared to camp at
night wherever darkness overtakes them.—
1 here are generally two men aud six dogs to
each tram. They teed their dogs on dry eorn
meal and tallow. The mail aud baggage, Ac.,
make up quite a load, which the dug’ seem to
draw- with much ease and speed. 1 tie mail
continues only during the close ot navigation.”

The Opposition in the South.
.The opposition to the democratic party and
1 the national administration appears at this
I moment to be animated by some hope of suc
! cess in the ensuing Presidential election.—
, Whatever grounds may exist tor this hope,
it is evident that it can not be fulfilled without
such u union of the various branches of the
opposition as seems, at this time, to bo entire
ly out of the question. We mean to say that
. such a union is necessary if the contest is to be
anything else than strictly sectional on the
] part of the oppsition. Os course a thorough
j unionof the opposition throughout the North,
a perfect combination ot the Eilmore party and
s the Fremont party ot IbJff, would be amply
I powerful to carry a large mqjority of the elec
toralj vote. That Combination would prove
also, what in fact has long been apparent to
- all discriminating people, that it the South has
- any allies in the North, they are to be found
l only among the democracy. It is, therefore,
extremely illogical, to use no stronger term,
for Southern men to find encouragement and
> hope for the Southern opposition, in the pres
t ent apparently powerless condition of the de
mocratic party at the North. It is certainly
i true, and those persons must have convenient
ly short memories who forget it, that the de
feats of the democracy at tl.e North have been
suffered in consequence of the support given
l by the administration, and the great majority
' of democratic members of Congress, to the
' rights of the South in the Territories, and to
tiie true State Rights Construction of the Ixitn-
1 sas act and the Lecompton constitution. 11
' the democrats have lost every Northern State
but three, it is caused by the defection of those
who deserted the South, w hen the administra
tion and the masses ot the democratic party
stood by her. W e can not, therelore, look,
without impatience, on those who hail these
imsf'urtuues as the harbinger of an opposition
victory which can only result in throw iug the
Government into the hands ot the black re
publicans, and precipitating a crisis which may
nvolve tlie dissolution of the Republic. l or,
we take it T that no Southern man, whate ve’-
may be his politics, is prepared to counsel sub
mission to the ruleol a hostile sectional major
ity, guided by an Abolition administration.—
Logically, therelore, those are disunionists
who rejoice at a state ot things which might
produce this result. If, on the contrary, tlie
South is to remain in the Union, if her destiny
is to be tultilled and her mission accomplisbeU
within the existing confedracy, it is her policy
to unite tor the defense of her rights and inter
ests. This appears a proposition so plain as to
admit of no dispute. Yet all over the South,
' in Virginia and Kentucky especially, and even
in Louisiana, we find symtomsota more an-
: imuted contest than has taken place tor sevc-r
--i al years, aud of a more vigorous opposition to |
! the dominant State Rights party than, one I
year ago anybody would have believed povi
ble. That this opposition can be successful in
either of those States we can not tor a moment
imagine. Now is not the moment tor a divis
ion in the South. It is, indeed, true that a
strong and pow erful opposition is necessary to
preserve the purity and stimulate the energy
of a dominant put ty ; but we must remember
that the South herself forms that opposdioti
against a vigorous, progressive aud vindictive
party, which threatens to overwhelm and sub
due us, or drive us to the alternative ot stern
and uncompromising resistance, 'ihe specta
cle of Southern divisions is encouraging to tin
growing opposition ot the North ; and a victo
ry of the opposition any w here in the South,
and would be an indication that wcare about to
break our alliance w ith the only friends upon
whom we can count in the North. When vve
make up our minds t.> that, we must likew i~e
be prepared to see a Llack republican elected
President, and to decide w hetlier vve w iii sub
mit to depredation and subjection, or seize the
only remedy left us.—A. it. ihlta.
The Democratic Party.
It is a notable fact that those who have op
posed the policy and principles ot the Demo
cratic party, have ever predicted its speedy de
cay and downfall. Prophet alter prophet has
arisens and seel alter seer Las fallen, in the same
glorious work of foretelling tiie destruction ot
that party, which has survived the revolutions
and flourished amid the downfall ot all other
tactions that have stood in its path. ULangi s
it must have undergone, since its measures have
been modified to suit the changed exigencies
ot the country, and to adapt itsell to the wants
of new btates ai.d Territories; and to the ex
tending area ot the country. But it yet stands
the same, in the great principles which it ad
vocates and imimlrains, that it did in the du) >
of Jefferson, and during the career of Jackson.
Its polar star is the constitution —the end it
aims at,’the glory aud permanent w elfare ot the
whole country, All the tine words that are
said about its disintegration aud its downfall,
are but the vaticinations ot its enemies, open
or secret. These vilifications are of the same
hue and character that they have ever been, ;
and w ere there no such hopes fur the enemies (
ot Democracy to feed on, the spirit that am- j
mates ull their political schemes would expire, [
and they would have nothing to excite anu I
stimulate them to action, It is but a slender
reed whereon to lean, and it would be a i ruei j
task to deprive them of the one passion ot then |
lives—the ilesite for the destruction of their
dreaded foes. Let them then enjoy, in peace,
the one l.ttle consoia.ion that animates auii
keeps them alive. Let them live by it, teed
on it, warm from it and receive their whole
strength from the poor comfort, w Inch they
nourish utid cherish so sedulously, tor, like all
the prophets that have gone before them, they
are doomed to a bitter disappointment.—Men

Tiio Arkansas, or Hackensack
t 11 a v i: l e r .
In the early settlement of Arkansas, a trnv
oler, as ter riding some eight or ten miles with
out meeting a human being, or seeing a human
habitation, came nt length, by a sudden turn
of the wood-road, to a miserable “shanty,” the
centre of a small clearing, in what had origin
ally been a “ Black jack-thicket,” whence the
only sound that proceeds is the discordant mu
sic of a broken-winded fiddle, from the troubled
bowels of which the occupant is laboriously
extorting the monotonous tune known as “ 7he
Arkansas, or llackensark Traveler.” Our trav
eler rides up to within a few feet of the door,
w hich was once the bed-frame of a eart-body
now covered with 1 eai-rk i s, and hung upon
two big wooden hinge.- . Alter much shouting,
the inmate appcr.rs, fiddle in hand, and evi
dently “wrathy” at being interrupted in the
exercise of his art. The following colloquy
ensues, th-, hitlelaligaiilt) fiddler still playing
the first strain <d " The Arkansas Traveler,”
which in fact he < ■ .itiiiue-, at sudden intervals,
until the dialogue, as will he seen, is brought
to an unexpected conclusion. If this he Hot

Traveler: ‘1:. :I.- m I obtain accommoda

Traveler : ‘My d< ar Sir, 1 havealready trav

Ark. Artist: ‘Just case it can't he did.—

onto the shank of to-morrow evenin’ afore he
turns home, unless luthin uncommon happens.’
Traveler: ‘You surely hate something that 1
can feed to my horse: even a few potatoes
would be Letter than no food.’
Ark. Artist: ‘otrnnger, our eatin'-roots ’gin

Traveler: ‘But, my friend, I must remain

Traveler: "Allow me to hitch my horse to

Ark. Artist: ‘Nooti n-eon yeartli, stranger:
we just keep a grocery .’
Traveler: ‘A grocery! Where in the name
of all that is mercantile do your customers
come from ? Y our nearest neighbor is ten

Ark. Artist: 'The fact is, me and the ole

Traveler : ‘I believe I can.’
Ark. Artist: ‘ ’Lite, ’lite, old hoss!— we'll

the stranger plays the turn of the 'Hackensack

‘simmon-tree, or any where else you please.—
B.ll’H be hero soon, and he’ll take keer of him.
Ole woman, you call Sal and Nance up from
the spring: tell Nance to go into the spring
house, and cut off a good large piece or bar
steak, to 1 rile for the stranger’s supper: tell
Sal to knock over a chicken or two. and get
cut some flour, and have some flour-doin’s and
chicken-fixin’s for the stranger. (Bill just
hi aves in sight, tw"ity-f >ur hours earlier than
was expected a half-hour before.) Bill, O Bill!
there’s a stranger here, and he plnys the ‘turn’
of the ‘Hackensack Traveler:’ go to the corn
crib and get a big punkin, and bring it to the
h use, so the stranger can have suthin to sit on
al I skin a ’tater ’long with me and the olc
woman, while the gals is gettin’ supper: and
Bil, take the hoss, and give him plenty of
corn; no nubbins, Bill: then rub him down
well; and then, when you come to the house,
bring up a dried hide and a bar-skin, for the
stranger to sleep on : and they, Bill, 1 reckon
he’ll ] lay the turn of the ‘Rackensack Travel
er’ for us.’
The ‘punkin’ was brought; the ‘taters’ were
■skinned’ ami eaten: the ‘turn’ of 'The Kack
eii.-ack Traveler' was repeatedly played, to
abundant edification ; and the ‘gals' finally an
nounced that ‘supperwas ready:’ and although
instead of ‘store-tea,’ they only had ‘saxifax
tea-doiu’s,’ without milk, yet the repast w:f
one to be long and gratefully remembered.—
The traveler remained ail night, and was pi
loted salely over the ‘big creek' early the next
; morning.

A Knowing “ Court.''— An anecdote is re
-1 cited of a court held in a village not a thou
sand miles from Paris during the past year,
which we regard as one of the richest in its
Hue of any that has been recorded, and we
< give it to cur readers, as nearly as we cun re
. collect it.
The ease on trial was for the sale of liquor.
T! ? principal witness was singularly obtuse :
and though confessing to having ma lea pur-
■ i liase, could not for the life of him tell what
the article w as. The most ingenious question-
' ng would not bring it out. At last the attor
' ncy asked him. “ ilow did it taste?
“ I il’no!” replied the witness.
Here “the court” interposed, alleging it to
Le an improper question, and inquired of the
attorney why he put such an interrogatory.
“ Well, your honor,” replied the attorney,
“I was unable to make the witness tell what
kind of liquor he bought; but 1 thought that
' if he would tell how it tasted, the Court mighl
he ahle io determi;e for itself!”
The hit was so palpable, that not even the
solemnity of the place or the cause was suf
ficient to repress the mirth of the audience.

His Excellency stopped last evening at

health and spirits.
He appears to grow so steadily in popular
favor, we think there is but little probability
of his having any material opposition at the
coming Gubernatorial convention.
More Counterfeit Bills.—Mr. Wm. W-
Wagnon, of this city, informs us that a coun
terfeit bill on the Bank of Savannah was ten
dered to him last night, so poorly executed and
so different from the genuine that its spurious
ness was readily detected. It was a one dollar
changed to a ten by the following alterations :
The gennine ten has a vignette of a woman
in a sitting posture ; the counterfeit has a wo
man standing. The genuine ten has the words
“Bank of Savannah” in open light-faced type ;
whereas the Counterfeit has them in block-type
as on the one dollar bills. The genuine ten
has the word “ten” in figures on each corner ;
while the counterfeit has on the left hand cor
ner the w ord "ten” printed, aud the letlter X
in the right hand corner.
We publish this information for the benefit
of those who handle much money. For our part
get such a small quantity we shall not bother
greatly about the difference between counter
