TFIE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-

FOB THE
1 iiii.ii CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
MEETS AT
MACON, TUESDAY, JULY 12th, 1859.
A majority of-the counties composing this
District have been heard from, and their re
spective D ,coitions have agreed upon Macon
as the p. 1 c. and Tuesday, July 12th, ns the
t iv. 1m holding the Democratic Convention
to .mil .: a candidate for Congress.
The ■ mm.ties that have been officially heard
fr< . ... Crawford, Harris, Taylor, Talbot,
S .’dim.-. and Bibb, all of which are in favor
<■ M:> on. Monroe, Butts, Pike. Houston,
and Upson remain to b* heard from, but we
h: vc ilo doubt they will cheerfully yield to
th wishes of the majority and agree to the
above time aud place.
let every county send full delegations to
the Convention, and, waiving personal and lo
cal preji;dices and preferences for the general
good of the party, let the ablest and worthiest
man be nominated.
With ,I..per management and energy, we
think the Democrats at the October election,
can rescue the District from the hands of the
Opposition.
Macon & Brunswick Railroad.
The Pulaski Tintes of yesterday says : “On
Friday 1 st, some thirty or forty hands be
longing to Dr. Collin?, from the Savannah and
Gmf R< d, passed through town on their way
t. the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, to
commence operations on a contract that Dr.
Collins has upon this Road. We learn that
the most of the located line of the Macon and
Brunswick Hoad U now under contract, and
that operations will soon commence on it."’
The Brunswick Herald of the 29th ult., in
speaking of the same Road, says: “ The con
tractors are now at work on this Road. Suc
cess to them.”

Opposition Convention.
The Augu-ta Dispatch in commenting upon
a remark of the .Savannah Republican that a
candidate sh uld be brought into the field
against Gov. Brows, provided the right sort of
0 : -,i Sall t'i rilling to accept the tnut, very
justly observes;
"There’s the rub. The right sort of men
den t like to walk into a contest where certain
overwhelming defeat awaits them, and we shall
be very much surprised if such men as Asbury
Hull. Charles J. Jenkins or William Dougher
ty. are willing to undergo the turmoil of a
campaign, for such questionable reward.
"On this subject the Republican urges Ma
con as the most desirable place for the Con
vention to meet, and says that, whether on the
score of centrality, accessibility, or hotel ac
commodations, it stands without a rival.”

Tho New British Cabinet—The
MEN WHO COMPOSE IT.
The next steamer will probably bring us the
double announcement of the resignation of the
Derby Cabinet and of the names of the states
men who are to compose tlie new administra
tion. From the declarations made in the
co..!>e of the debates which decided the fate
ot the tory ministry, we may anticipate with
something like certainty the names ot their
successors.
The I.:'-!- of the agreement on which the
re organization of the liberal party was effect
el being the strictest non-intervention in the
conflict now being waged in Italy, it may be
as-umed that no man will be invited to take
otlic-e who has distinguished himself by his
Austrian proclivities. The accession of the
Manchester men to this compact has been ob
tained only on the distinct understanding that
the neutrality wbicli is to be observed by the
in w government shall not be a convertible
term for secret aid or countenance. Neither
towards Austria nor towards France must the
sy ipathies of the new administration, or of
t r organs. be manifested; for, unless the
are restrained in their language it will
i U> attempt to keep up a show of im-
li. tialit; . The influence of the Court will
have to be sternly ignored in the new arrange

eral party consent to act I I here are j. -
tions respectively to Lords John Russell and
Palmerston, for each has in his turn disap
pointed the expectations of the reformers.—
Were the extension of the Parliamentary fran
chise the question on which the chimsof these
statesmen exclusively rested, we do not believe
that either of them could secure the support
of a corporal's guard. If. again. Lord Brough
am's suggestion of a coalition Ministry were
practicable at the present moment, it is otir
opinion that Mr. Disraeli would command
more of the confidence of the liberal party
than either of their old chiefs. Disraeli is
more a reformer at heart than they are. and
could he but shake off the associations ly
which he is surrounded he would be just the
man for the new organization. This. ], , •
er, is not possible until be has formally n tl
his recantation, which, judging by his l.i-t
speech in Parliament, he is not disinclined 1
do. Another session will probably bring him
back amongst the ranks of those towards
whom his political sympathies dispose him,
and amongst whom Ids future chances of of
ficial promotion lie.
Until the time arrives when a fresh recon
struction of party classifications becomes im
perative, from the pressure of externa! dan
gers, or of vital domestic questions, like that
of Parliamentary reform, the English liberals !
will be compelled to act under their old lead- |
ers. In view of the peculiar exigencies of the ,
present complications on the Continent, and
the guarantees which his previous opinions ot
fer for a strictly. neutral and impartial course (
between the belligerents, it is probable that ,
Lord Palmerston will be the new Premier.— |
The reform question being left in abeyance, j
we do not know that any better choice can for .
the present be made. On the Italian .juestion ■
his lordship has so explicitly declared his view
that no doubt can exist as to his pursuance oi' (
the only policy which is consistent with the
interests of England and the peace of the
world. When in 1848 Austria offered to give
up a portion of Lombardy if she were allowed
to retain Verona and the line of the Adige,
the reply which he made to the proposition j
set forth so distinctly the merits of the issues |
since raised, that they may be said to have
prejudged them in favor of France aud Bar- ,
dinia. “I have to say,’’ lie wrote, "that a,
question so important in itself, and so mixed
up with national feeling and with tradition:!
policy, as the question whether Austria shall 1
or shall not retain a portion of her Italian pos
sessions, has seldom been decided simply by
negotiation, and without an appeal to arms:
and it seems now to have become inevitable
that the fortune of war must, to a certain de
gree at least, determine the manner in which
this question between Austria and the Italians
is to be settled. The part which naturally be
longs to the British government in this matter
is to remain spectator of events until invited
by the contending parties to interpose by good
offices with a view to nn amicable arrange
ment.” These sentiments have been confirmed
by his lordship’s recent declarations at the
meeting of liberal members at Willis’ rooms,
so that there cannot be the smallest doubt a
to the principles on which Ids administration
will be conducted in reference to the great
question which is now agitating the mind of
Europe.
Os the other public men who will compose
the new Cabinet, the principal will be Lords
John Russel, Clarendon, and in all probability.
Lord Elgin. Public opinion in England seems
to run strongly in favor of the employment in
the Lome administration of a statesman who
has displayed so much capacity in the different
colonial governments and missions in which
he has been placed. We believe ourselves
that English policy, both domestic and foreign,
would gain much from the counsels of a com
prehensive and practical mind like that of
Lord Elgin. He is one of the few English
statesmen who seem to feel that their duties
to humanity have a greater moral force than
those which they owe to class interests or feu
dal associations.
“ Perley” writes from Washington to the
Boston Journal, a bit of gossip touching the
recent marriage of Mrs. Eaton, wite of the
Secretary of War under General Jackson’s Ad
ministration :
“ Mrs. Eaton, since the decease of her hus
band, has resided in the First Ward here, vis
iting in a demi-monde. and pointed at when
she went abroad as the lady that broke up
Jackson’s Cabinet, in spite of all he could do.
She is an active little lady, some sixty years ot
age, and last Sunday she was married the third
time to an Italian dancing-master and musi
cian, who is about twenty-two, thereby caus
ing much scandal. so.'" say all
the dames who refused to visit her in 1829.”
A Monkey Awiiicting a Negro.—Under
this head the Woodville (Miss.,) Republican,
of the 13th, has the following story :
Sunday afternoon wc were startled from a
comfortable nan, by the most distressing cries.
We rushed upon the gallery to learn the cause,
thinking we surely hud a good local item. W<
were rather amused, however, when we found
that the excitement was caused by a tame ;
monkey that had broken prison, and who. in
his perambulations around town, bad seen a
little negro girl around town, and was favor
ably impressed with her appearance. The |
monkey being, we presume, of a speculative
turn of mind, immediately resolved to embark
in the slave trade, and forthwith made an
attack on the premises iu w hich he had dis
covered the little negro—climbed into the win
dow, |s>unced u[H,n his prize, uud despite tin
young darky's m-reams and yells, war about to i
carry her off in triumph, when he was driven ,
back by a reinforcement.

Mr. Editor:—Our usually quiet village was
disturbed and our citizens shocked almost be

he shouting of one Mr. Jas. W. Ryan, of
Culumbus, Ga., by V. M. Fambro, of this
place. From what we can learn of the diffi
culty, it was unsought on the part of Ryan—
the whole affair was commenced and carried
on to a shooting’puint by Fambro. Mr. Ryan
is a leader of the Rrass band of Columbus,
and was in this place teaching a band. lie
seems to be doing very well this morning, and
is thought not to be in much danger, unless
inflammation should take place. The ball en
tered his left breast just below his collar-bone,
and is thought to be lodged in the ribs or
shoulder-blade, ilie physician probed it about
IJ r ]
three inches, but could not extract the ball.—
Fambro has fled.

Kossuth and the Hungarians.
Kossuth with is many Hungarians as he can
collect, was to leave London on the Bth inst.,
for Genoa, where General Klapka, Colonel
Kiss, General I’erczel, General Vetter, Colonel
Yacz, Colonel Teleki, and others await him.—
A’correspondent of t..e New York Times says,
he goes at the instance of Prince Napoleon
and Count Cavour, to issue a proclamation to
the Hungarians calling on them to desert the
Austrian army en manse, he to organize the de
serters in a corpsand become its military chief.
When the number should reach 15,000 or 20,
000, he will with a small division of French
troops, cross the Adriatic and the Austrian pro
vinces into Hungary, and there promote in
surrection. Kossuth, by the w-ay, has issued
the following address:
Ti'lhe JluH'jrtrian Exilesßesbling in the I'ni
ted States..— At tl'ie time of the late Crimean
war several of my exiled fellow-countrymen
brought great misery upon themselves by
throwing up their situations, and leaving the
United States for Europe, without taking care
to ascertain whether or not circumstances war
ranted the step. I fear the (.resent state of
European affairs, together with partly vague,
partly exaggerated, partly unfounded reports,
may have a similar effect. I consider it, there
fore, to be my duty to warn my exiled fellow
countrymen in America that it is not yet time
or them to move.
Grave considerations forbid my entering on
premature explanations. Suffice it to say that
though the sky is brightening promisingly, we
have great difficulties to overcome. Due care
is taken not only of the interest of our coun
try, but also especially of their personal inter
ests. They shall be duly apprised in due time.
But the time has not yet come. Let them pa
tiently—let them confidently wait. Any in
considerate ra’-hness might bring personal ru
in on them, without the slightest advantage to
the tiublio cause.

ish, and wine unto those that be uv heavy hearts.”
Now my bretberiug and sistern, thar's a great
many kinds uv lieker in this world, as is meutione I
in the tex, and these different sorU uv sperits may b<
likened to the various donominashuns uv tlie chris
tun persuashun, ah. In the first place, we have the
bright and sparklin shampain wine, that cums from
furrin parts, ah. This is a costly lieker, an is used
by them as is troubled with the big-head, ah. It h
amity flue sperits, an keeps a scissin, a popin, an a
effervessin.
It is just so my brethering an sistern with the Pis
copallaus, ah. They is a highfaluten an ’ristocratu
set of onbeleevcrs, ah, They have fine pews, tali
churches and monstrous orgins. Thar is hoss racer*
gamblers and chicken liters among ’em ah. They i
a mity proud people and believe in the Postolic Ac
cession, and they keeps going up.frum big preacher
to another, until they get up to nuthin’. They re
semble St. John’s becst with sevin heads and ten
horns, fur in speeekin uv horns the tex says :
“Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per
ish, and wine unto them that be oi hevy hearts.
Again my brethering and sistern, thar s another
kind of licker that depraves the appetite, corrupts the
sensibilities, nauseates the stomach, consterj ates the
bowils, depresses the feelings, destroys the health,
pcrduces sick bed ake and vomiting ah. This kin ’,
of strong drink is commonly cauld whisky. But, in
different localitys, it has various congelations. In
Hackensack, it is called rut :in Tinny see, it i
named red eye in lllinuys, it is denominated babl
face ; ami in Texas, whup I live, it is termed bum
head. Now this strong drink my chrishtun ami dy
in friends, may be liken unto J/ethodis pursuasion :
for they is a people that sturs up things with a short
stick ah. They is death on campmcetins and preech
in up thar free grase and parden to all. They sprin
kies in place uv baptisen, anil with thar shout in. at.
screemin, and falliu frum grace, they gets obstropu
lous and hungry with heviness of heart, for tex sa.
“ Give strong drink unto him s pnldy to pt r
ish. an wine unto them that be uv hevy heart -.
Agin, wy dying congregashun, thar is yet anutber
kind uv drink which if it don’t do enny good, it can’t
do enny harm. It is Ginger pop ah; an thar is a
grate dee! more water nor ginger in 1/ ah. It is like (
the Camelite, fur thar is more water in them than en
ny thing else. They* oven carries thar doctrines so
far as to reject glorius old burbin ah. They my (
Christian friends is fit subjects fur the track, ami
misbionary scieties ; but na.wbar within the leds uv
the Bible, cun enny tex be found which tells you that
you can enter into the gule uv thu New Jerusalum mi
water alone, for the tex says :
“Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per- i
ish, an wine unto them that be hevvy nv heart.”
Aud yet my heerers thar is one powerful strong 1
drink found in all stores, groceries, hotels, un 'poth ’
ecary shops. It is Coneyac Brandy. It is made .
outen everything an bears a great price, ah. Nour |
worthy speaker, my brethering and sistern. knows il ]
well, ah. It makes a man feel his keepins. ah, ami
when under its influence ho is mity apt to let the cat
outen the bag, ah, an confess to things that he oughlnt
to toll. This licker may be likened to the Kmin ; 1
Catholicks; bekaus when they gets with thar pre-st (
an under the inflnense of spirets, they confess thar ; <
sins. A Catholick proest, my friends, is a great (
man, as he keeps large nunneries full uv Saint Peter
it may be supposed die is allers ready, for the tex
says j c
•‘ Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per
ish, an wine unto them that be bevvy uv heart.”
Thar is furthermore, my beloved foilerers uv the
meak and loly, another monstrous mean drink, out
landish in name, abominable in smell, bitter in taste,
and horrible to drink uv. It is Lager Beer ah. This
kind uv strong drink fuddles the idees, upsets dijes- ,
tion, obfuscates the understanding an leads the drink
er tberfcuf into the ways uv sin an uv death. It may i
be likened to tho Mormons. They is wus than the |
Babblonish idulaturs that fell down an worship! the |
goldin image which Nebicatsuezsur the king had sot j
up. Jo Smith was thar proffit. and they believes that
Brigham Young possesses imaeulist powers. They
has a grate number uv wiles, which is kontrary to
dyvine teecl.in, fur one man that is a true Christian
can manage but one woman at a time without keepin
hisseifiu hylen watur, fur the tex says :
“ Give strong drink unto him that is reddy to per- 1
isb, an wine unto them that be uv bevvy hearts.
“An lastly, my dyiu friends, thar is a glorious ;
strong drink ah, that will do yer hearts goixl. Iten
liveus the feclius, opens the heart to deeds uvluv ah.
You can drink it foruver without makiu a beost uv I
yourself. It is old I’ecch Brandy, the best uv all j
strong drinks. This sperits. my Christian heerers.
may be eonipaired to the old Hard Shell Baptists ah. ■
They never deviate from the old track. No lallin
from grace among um. When they once makes the
eddy, they keeps clear uv tho breakers uv whisky,
the quicksands uv Shampayne, the whirlpools uv
Jimmaky, the aboics uv (linger pop, the waves uv
Coneyack, and the siroccos uvLager Beer. Hut they
steers right unto the bavin uv old I’eecli Brandy, an
thar my dyin friends, the wins may b<»ul, the light
ning flash, the thunders roll, an the yetb quake, the
old Hard Shell Baptists will set thar megs. But it
makes no difference, my brethering. when w. get t .
heaven, how wc get thar. The lovers of Shanipuvm
takes the ristoeratic car uv Piscopali nism. the disci
pies uv whisky prefers (he high pressor dubble Idler !
steetn bote uv Methodism, the drinkers uv old Jim
maky takes thar passage in the reglar packit uv
Presbyterianism, the suckers uv Ginger pop expects
to wash their way into life everlustin in the cause uv
Camclism. an whenever enny uv them gits thar, y-m
may then sing “ the Camels is coming.
The swiggers uv old Coneyack expects to make ihnr
trip to Jerusalem Land in the motley raft uv Ramin
Catholervism. while the swillers uv Lager Bee.- is
willin to go to heaien in the flatl>oat uv Mormonism
ah. But tho Baptists, the glorious old liar I Shells,
they is willin to enter the gates uv heaven by faith
alone, an they intends to travail thar in the old wagin
uv Baptism. An I hopes, my Christian an dyin
friends, to meet many uv you thar. But lam afraid
I shant ah, fur I see that sum is reddy to leev an is
ettin dry ah, in the tex says :
“Give*strong slrink unto them that is reddy topcr-
•h. an wine unto them that bo uv bevvy hearts.”

A young gent from the lower part of the State. 1
rigged in ruffled shirt, patent leather boots. 1
kid gloves and fine “store clothes” generally,
and who had evidently, judging from the smell
emitted from his person, been immcr-ed in otto
of roses, musk, Ac., emerged from the train .
and signified his wish to stop at the aforemcn- I
tinned place, whereupon his baggage, consist

outlu-tily for the baggage b*y of the train, it '

Till: ZoVAVEB AND THE T1 RCOS. —The news-
I paper curresp ndents fr> ta Italy, and the Paris
story tellers give us all sorts of reports and
anecdotes about the Zouaves, the Turcos, and
other new species of troops now iu Italy. The
Zouaves at Pulestro, they tell us, got their bag
ged trouser legs so wet, and therefore so heavy,
in crossing some low lands, that when ordered
to the charge, they cast off their trousers and
ran to the Austrians, bayonet in hand, bare
legged ! The corps has peen so wild, it is also
added, and so little regardful of mtuui and
t u that the Emperor summoned a nett, iu
number of them, and told them lie would order
them back to Africa and to France, if anything*
of the like occurred again; whereupon, it is
said they cried like children, and promised
good behavior.
The Turcos are a new race of men on the
European fi Id of battle, or at leeati not ther*i
seen or known since the days of Hannibal,
who lei their ance-tors into Italy. They are
Mahommedans under French officers and sub
oflicers, natives of Africa, about Algiers. We
have to-day the tirst account from them on the
held of battle, ill the correspondence of the
CuiulilutiouKrl, from Novara, June 4th. Mc-
Mahou's division is made up of these troops,
and others from Africa. The < wres -undent
had then just heard of this division at Magenta,
where they attacked the Austrians protected
by their cannon. “Like tigers,” says the
writer, “ they precipitated themselves upon
the Austrians, crying ‘ victory,’ oven before
they had discharged their guns.” The attack
is said to have exhibited one of the etrongest
uud most terrible spectacles of war. The
Turco- threw themselves upon the enemy like
th- . i Cooper, wMf ut mercy or quar
ter. S n a horrible i elee occurred. The
voice of the c:.nnou even was drowned by the
savage cri ■ <,f the Turcos—cries, not the
eh.unit il' vi< b ry, nor the plaints of the dying
and w .unded. All the language Mahomet
can muster el' imprecations, broke forth from
tie in in i dated groups,"where one Tureo
would . “on 1 •- seen struggling against three
or four Austrians. When the Austrians ran,
and the strife was over, the spectacle was not
less strana -. The fanatic conquerors rolled
up n the earth, and under the inspiration of
some African war song, they danced the most
frantic species of dances, amidst bursts of
laughter, mid frightful cries, that startled even
their.c- vipauions in arms. Some of them hail
t reed their m'isoners to sit beside them, and
Wi
as the lion glares upon its prey; uud then, with
a -pecics of fascination, as if they pitied the
poor creatures now without means of defence.
In other parts of the field they lay down upon
the ground, exhausted with fatigue, and recov
ering their strength iu sleep.

a fffis .n < ell. Truly he is in the world, but
know- n..t..fit. Toil—toil—toil, by night and
by day. is his fate, until premature old ago ends
his existence. For the advancement of science,
morality and virtue, the chords of his heart
are severed one by one, and when his life is
run, and time to him is no more, he goes down
to the grave uncared for and unknown, though
his existence has been sacrificed for the benefit
of his race.
When we hear mechanics cry out against
oppression and demand certain hours for labor
and f>r rest, we cannot but reflect upon this
situation of our own craft: how every moment
.1 their lives is forced into service to earn a
hare subsistence, how uncomplainingly they
devote themselves to the good of that same
public, who wear them as a loose garment to
be d tied when no longer needed.
Printers are universally pour men, and for
two rea-ns. The first is—they rarely ever
receive a fair compensation for their services.
An I the second is—that inured to continual
sutil ring, privation and toil, their pur---
strings are ever untied ut the bidding of char
ity. and the liurd earned “dimes” are ir< ly
distributed for the relief of their fellow mt.;.
Thus it is that they live poor, die poor, ami
a suitable reward does not await them after
death, sad indeed must he the beginning. the
existence, and the end of poor “typos.—Acte
Printer.
