OUR TICKET.
The brief space of time that we have between
this and the hour of going to press prevents
ns from giving as much attention to the tickjt
which appears at the head of our columns as
we intend to do at some future day.
Suffice it to say that they are wholesonled
gentlemen of fine talents, and just such men
us the Democracy of Bibb will delight to hon
or. From their known activity, perseverance
and zeal in the good cause, there can be no
doubt of their election.
Let the party do its duty and they will not
have occasion to complain of its nominees neg
leeting theirs.
California News.
Wo are again placed under obligations to I
the gentlemanly Agent of the Hamden's Ex
press Company in this city, for late files of,
California papers, from which we clip the fol-;
lowing items of news: _ i
Horace Grcely, the editor of the New York >
Tribune, who is now in California, is creating |
considerable enthusiasm there by his speeches
in favor of the Pacific Railroad. At Sacra- I
meuto there was a Committee of citizens ap
pointed to proceed to Folsom, a small town in
California, and escort him to Sacramento.—
The Sacramento I nion thus describes the
meeting:
•• At a quarter to four, a carriage drawn by a pair
of r .an-colored ponies ir-ire at a pretty smart pace

Uy this time most of the committee had wandered off
. i the v iciuity of the bridge, su that when the propri- |
ctor of a little old glazed traveling-bag marked “ H.

rusty aud well-worn tehitt coat, a still rustier and
mill’more worn and faded blue cotton umbrella, to
gether with a roll of blankets, were deposited from
The carriage, there was no one present of the commit- ,
to take him bv the hand. The crowd about the de- i
p,U however, closed in so densely that Greely was
fain to make for the first open door that presented it
self. Thia unfortunately happened to be the bar
room attached to the ticket office, and here some of
the committee found him with his back turned den
autlv against iho Hardy rows of bottles and decan
ters,'talking informally with some friends who bad
l„vn beforehand; and here the committee s.ired
their guest, and with considerable trepidation burned
him across to the hotel orer the freight depot, follow
ed i»y a iargo and increasing crowd.”
We see nothing in his speeches about his
favorite subject of Abolitionism ; we presume
that California is too Democratic for the peo
ple to swallow his Abolition doctrines, and he

or, catches “ fits.” We should judge from the
specimens of their speeches now before us that
they are both capital black guards, as they
abound in slang terms and vituperative epi
thets. They take good care however to make
these speeches at a considerable distance from
each other,
The notorious highwayman, “ Rattle
snake Dick,’’ was killed near Auburn, Cal., on
the 11th of July ; Dick and a comrade were
pursued by a party of three citizens, and when
overtaken a desperate conflict ensued, which
resulted in the death of one of the citizens and
the wounding of Hie other two. “ Rattlesnake
Dick,” who was also wounded, made his es
cape, but was found dead the next morning.—
It is supposed that being wounded in the con
flict of the previous day and unable to escape,
ho cither put an end to his existence by his own
hand or persuaded his comrade to do the job
for him. He held in his hand when found a
paper bearing the following inscription:—
” Rattlesnake Dick dies, but never surrenders,
as all true Britons do.”
The Californians have become wonder
fully moral of late; the paper now before us,
tiie steamer's Hulletin, has a large portion of
its space devoted to denunciation of the Lot
tery business, and we clip the following para
graph from the same paper to show our read
ers how they serve gamblers there:

A Riot Near Philadelphia.
Prii.adi.fhia, August 22.
A serious riot took place at Tacony, yester
day. A yacht race came off here between one
and five o’clock. The Franklin Rifle Company
(German.) with their friends, were there on an
'xt ursion, and the pupils of St. Vincent Sun
day School had a pic-nic near that place. At i
an early hours a gang of rowdies commenced 1
pelting the company while they were engaged
at target-firing, which produced a fight, during I
which three persons were stabbed, who were 1
carried off by their friends. The Franklin I
Rifles then marched down to the wharf, where I
they were assailed with a shower of stones, i
clubs, etc. The soldiers retaliated with the i
butt end of their rifles, manv of which were •
broken off. Shortly after this, some of the '
meinl>er» of the company loaded their rifles t
with pebbles, and tired into the crowd, slight!v u
wounding two persons. This had the effect
of frightening the rowdies for a few moments; f
but they soon resumed the attack. Tho riot i 1
was renewed, but the police
finally succeeded in restoring order. •»n their e

Democratic Meeting.
The Democratic meeting which assembled
to-day in the Court House for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the Senate aud
House of Representatives was organised by
calling T. C. Nisbet, Esq., to the Chair, and re
questing J. A. McManus to act as Secretary.
The Chairman stated the object of the meet
ing in a few brief and pertinent remarks, after
which the following communication was hand
ed in and was read by the Secretary :
Macon, 27 Aug., 1859.
Sir :—ln compliance with the request of the
Opposition party, at a meeting held yesterday,
I herewith transmit you a copy of a preamble
and resolutions which where unanimously
adopted at that meeting. Respectfully,
ROGERS, Secretary.
To Chairman Democratic meeting.
PREAMBLE.
In view of the fact that a number of our
best and most intelligent citizens of both po
litical parties, have indicated a desire that a
party contest for members of the Legislature
should be avoided in the approaching election,
by the formation of acompromise ticket, there
fore
Rewired lat. That the Opposition party of
Bibb are willing to unite with the Democratic
party in the formation of a compromise ticket
on the following equitable basis: we io be al
lowed the selection of the Senator and they
the members of the House, or cice versa.
Resulted 2<L That whilst we regard boasting
as altogether unprofitable we deem it due to
ourselves to say that we accede to the compro
mise ticket from no want of confidence in our
strength, but from the conviction that the
reasons which prompted the proposal coin
mend themselves alike to the good aud patri
otic of all parties.
Resolved 3d. That tine Secretary communi
cate these resolutions to the Democratic meet
ing which assembles to-morrow, and respect
' fully request that meeting to take some action
I on the subject.
J. 11. R. WASHINGTON, ChTim.
C. H. Rogers, Secretary.
Macon, 20 Aug. 1859.
The Chairman decided that the communica-
tion was out of order, and that the meeting
• had no authority to act upon it that the dele
-1 gates present were appointed by the Democrat
ic party to nominate Democratic candidates for
| the Legislature, and that they bad no right to
; act otherwise. He wished, however, to take
1 the sense of the meeting on this subject; which
’ being done he was sustained.
‘ On motion, Dr. E. L. Strohecker, Messrs.
I Jas. Dean, Conner, Hunter anl Bostick were
| appointed to notify the Opposition of the a< -
! tion that the meeting had taken on the subject.
I Upon a call of the districts being made, all
I were found to be represented. It was then
j moved and carried that the nomination of a
Senator be proceeded with, and that i< should
require two thirds of the votes cast to make a
- nomination.
I I». Tracy, Esq., was then nominated. Mr.
r Tracy having received the largest number of
' votes, he was declared to be nominated for Sen
! ator. After which it was made unanimous.
The meeting then proceeded to nominate
candidates for the House.
The names of L. M. Lamar, T. C. Nisbet,
A. M. Lockett, and 0. A. Lochrane were pre
sented. Upon the ballots being counted out
Messrs. Lamar and Lochrane, bad the largest
number of votes cast, and were declared to be
i duly nominated for Representatives.
It was resolved that these proceedings be
published in the Democratic papers of the city.
The meeting then adjourned.

’ Gentlemen— This watering place is quite
' pleasant now; the air is fine and bracing, the
tables well supplied witli the best the country
i affords; the hotels not so much crowded as
j recently, though quite a number of social visi
■ tors yet ou the tapis. There is a general look
out for a crowd again next week.
The Fancy Ball of the season comes off on
Thursday, first day of September. Those wh -
ere fond of tripping the “light fantastic toe,”
or admiring a pretty face, and having a pleas
ant tete-a-tete with wit and beauty, would do
well to happen in about that time. There are
great preparations making, and general ex
pectations of a “ feast of reason and a flow of
soul.”
A Visitor.
Didn’t Want to ue Kissed.—A curious trial
was recently held at Middlesex Sessions, in
England. Thomas Saverland, the prosecutor,
sta’ed that he was in the room where the de
fendant, Caroline Newton, and her sister, who
had come from Birmingham, were present.
The latter jokingly observed that she had
promised her sweetheart that no man should
kiss her while absent. It being holiday time.
Savcrland considered this a challenge, and
caught hold of her and kissed her. The young
woman considered it ns a joke, but her sister,
the defendant, said she would like as little of
that fun as he pleased. Savcrland told her if
she was angry he would kiss her also. He
then tried to do it, and they fell to the ground.
On rising, the woman struck him; he again
tried to kiss her, and in the scuffle she bit off
his nose. The action was brought to recover
damages for the loss of the nose. The detend
aut said he had no business to kiss her; if she
wanted kissing, she had a husband to kiss her 1
a better looking man than ever the prosecutor '
was. The jury, without hesitation, acquitted
her; and the chairman said, that if any man 1
*
attempted to kiss a woman against her will,
she hud a perfect right to bite off his nose, if j
she hud a fancy for so doing. (
Meeting of Southern* Agriculturists,
Manufacturers, and Mechanics.—We invite
the attention of the classes above named, and
all interested in the development of southern
industry, to the meeting to be held at Nash
ville, during the week of the State Fair, called
by resolution of the State Agricultural Bureau
of Mississippi. The circular of that Bureau
thus announces the object of the meeting:
“It is impossible, in a communication like
this, to enumerate the advantages to l>e derived
from annual meetings of intelligent represen
tatives from the slave-producing States. At
these conventions we can learn the efforts
made annually to promote the agricultural and
mechanical interests of the different States,
and the success of such efforts ; determine
what State legislation is necessary to advance
these interests; the best manner of collecting
and publishing agricultural statistics, etc., etc.’’
The city of Nashville was selected as the
i place of the first meeting, and the October Fair,
i 1859—October 10th to 15th—as the time:
Tho State Agricultural Bureau of Tennessee (
, cordially seconded this move of the Mississippi
Bureau, and mvitoa all the Agricul ural and
Mechanical Association in the Southern and I
South-wstera states, aud especially State So
cieties to l>e repr. sented in this Meeting. A j
warm welcome will also l>e extended to indi-j
viduals interested in the object. set forth in

Eton. John Minor Botts.
The Morning News, an Opposition paper, 1
published in Richmond, Vn., has hoisted to Its 1
masthead the name of John Minor Botts, of 1
Virginia, as a suitable candidate for the Preei- ’
dency in 1860, and strongly urges his claims
for that position. A correspondent of that '
paper says that Mr. Botts has consented to be
come a candidate, and then gives a few hints j
with respect to the course to be pursued in or
der to secure bis nomination, which wo pub
lish below:
“ First, then, we are of the opinion that it would
be well to designate and set apart certain highly ef
fectiveorators, known to be friendly to the movement,
who shall be charged with the duty of canvassing
the entire country, in behalf of the glorious cause.
Secondly. We would recommend that an efforts bo
made to secure the services of the renowned and pa
triotic Everett, and that the first step in the matter
be taken by the Whig Central Committee of the State
of Virginia.
Thirdly. We would farther snggest the simple and
advantageous method of distributing, by mail, circu
lars favorable to the nomination of Mr. Botts
throughout all the States and cities in the country.
Fourthly. We conceive that it would be vastly
beneficial to establish one organ at least, iu every
State, to bo controlled by gentlemen of well-known
intellectual ability.”

Tho Croton Water.
The people of New York are at present in
the full enjoyment of a water panic. The late
heavy rains having flooded the tributaries of
the lake and brought down a quantity of veg
etable ingredient, the water has become dis
colored and has a sort of frog-pond flavor, by
no means palatable to tin upholders of the li
quor law. The change in the appearance and
taste of the water has given rise to many sur
■ raises and speculations as to the cause, nnd
. stories have been put in circulation which

I that three hinnmi d’-ad balics had been taken
out of the upper reservoir, r.nl uggesi-.-d that
their gradual dec »i:-p. J «iti--n had vitiated, th.

ment in the vicinity of tlic reservoir, and as it ,
passed from mouth to mouth, gradually enlarg- i
ed its proportion, until on Sunday the current
ver-ion was that seven bodies had been taken
out from the great water vat. The principal
business of the Reservoir Superintendent on
Sunday was assuring horror-stricken inquirers
that the report was an unmitigated hoax.
A careful inspection of the lake from which
the water is obtained, and the streams ending
into it, has been commenced, am' an analysis
ot the ater is to be made.
Russian Crown Diamonds— Romantic.
Among the crown diamonds in the Treasu
ry of the Czars at Moscow, are two of remark
able value. One is the size of a pigeon's egg,
• and is called the *• Orloff.” The other is in
i the form of an irregular prism. This is named
> the “ Shah,” and it is of the breadth, and al-
• most the length of the little finger. It foriner-
I ly belonged to the Shall’*, nnd wns one of two
...-v uuii <n me nea, and the ”Moon of the
i Mountain.” Here is the story
i When Nadir wns assassinated bis treasures
• were pillnged and his precious stones divided
among a few soldiers, who carefully concealed
them. An Armenian named Shafras resided
at that period at Bussora with his two broth
ers. One day an Afl'ghan came to him, and of
fered for sale the large diamond, “ The Moon
of the Mountain,” as well as an emerald, a ru
by <>t fabulous size, n sapphire of the finest
water, called by the Persians the “Eye of Al
lah,” and a number of other stones, for the
whole of which lie asked such a moderate sum
that Shafras suspected they had not been hon
estly come by, and told him to call again, as
be ba<l not the money in the house. The Aff
chan, feniiug Shafras was going to act with
I treachery toward- him, left the place, and
j could not again be found, although the three
I brothers made every search for him.
Some years afterwards the elder brother
, met the nmn nt Bagdad, who told him that
j he had just -old all his precious stones for
j (15,0(10 piastresand a pair ol valuable hor-es.
Shafras had the residence of th- piir.-h.-i-t-r.
. who wns a Jew, point- -1 . -:t to him. _a,;l l.e
i offered him double the prici • li.i-i Jvi-n
I for them, but was refused. I In-three -rotli
ers then agreed to murder the Jew anil n>b
him of his purchase, which they did, and on
the following day poi-.ned the Aftghan. and
threw both the bodiei into the river. A dis
pute soon arose between the brothers as to
the division of the spoil, which terminated in
Shafras gettine rid ■ f his two brothers by p<>i
son, after which he lied t > C.>nst>m. jmple and
thence to Holland, where hv rnvd. known the
riches he possessed, and offered them for sale
to tho different Courts of Europe. Catherine
II proposed to buy the Moon of the Mountain
only. Shafras was requested to come to Rus
sia, and he was introduced to the Court jewel
ler.
Hie terms demanded by Sliafras were—let
ters of nobility, a life annuity of 10,000 rou
bles, ami 500,000 roubles, payable by equal in
stalments in ten years. Count Banin, who
was then Minister, delayed the settlement of
the bargain as long as possible, and in the
meantime, had the Armenian led into such ex
travagances that he tell into debt, and when
the Minister found that he had no means of
paying what he owed he abruptly broke off
the negotiation. Sliafras, according to the
laws of the country, could not leave until his
debtor should be paid, and the Court jeweller
prepared to take advantage of his embarrass
ment, aud intended that the diamond should
full into his hands for a fourth of its value.
Sliafras, however, discovered the trap that had
been laid for him, and disposing of some of
the less valuable stones among his countrymen
paid his debts, and disappeared. Agents were
sent after him, who had orders to assassinate
and rob him, but he escaped them.
Ten years after, while he was at Astracban,
renewed offers were made to him, but he re
fused to enter into any negotiation, unless the
bargain should be settled at Smyrna. Catha
rine accepted, and became the possessor of
the diamond for letters of nobility, 600.(X»0
roubles, ami 170.000 paper rouble., making
together about two aud a ball tnillioii. of francs.

Bishop Bahry.—The numerous friends of
this excellent man will be both pleased and
pained to read the following, which we clip
from the Augusta Constitutionalist of yester
day :
We understand that Right Rev. John Barry,
Catholic Bishop of Georgia, has arrived safe in
his native city, Wextord, Ireland ; but we have
been informed, and we regret to hear it. that
his health has not improved.
r«r We have received the Eclectic for Sep-1
tember. It is embellished with a fine likeness
of Baron Von Humboldt, and filled with its
usual variety of interesting reading matter.
Tire Loan Swindle at Washington.—The
Telegraph has noticed the sudden evaporation
from Washington of an agent of the firm of
Evnns & Bro. Loan Agents. The States says:
Among the expedients by which the agent
contrived to inspire confidence, was the appa
rently careless display of considerable amount
of specie. On one occasion, amid quite a levee
of his newly-made friends, Mr. Evans rang
for the waiter, and, as if short of change, pull
ed from his closet a handkerchief containing
about $2,000 in gold, and tossing some pieces
with the utmost nonchalance to the attendant,
called for champagne. He frequently invited
people to dine with him at the hotel; and one
day when pressed by a large number of ap
plicants for loans, remarked—“ Really, gen
tlemen, we must postpone our negotiations to
another time ; I have to-day an engagement to
dine with Col.
It is estimated that at least five thousand
dollars have been contributed by the people of
the district to the coffers of Evans, Bros. &
Co. It seems that the travelling partner of
that enterprising firm, who has created this
stir in our midst, disdained the petty business
of not settling his bill at the hotel. But even
in this be displayed the most masterly rogue
ry, paying the Messrs. W illard with the cheek
of one of his unfortunate victims.
A party in this city wrote to the Mayor of
New York, as to the character of the alleg
ed firm- Capt. Leonard replied, by directions
I of that functionary, that the locality designat
i ed was occupied by some other party, and that
1 ihe affair was “bogus” throughout.
A gentleman came to a friend giving him
*2OO to invest in the new speculation, but the
hitler having a strong suspicion of the fraudu
lent design, failed to do as he Was desired,
and so Saved the gentleman from being gouged
I t that amount.
An Awkward Dilemma. —An awkward
affair which once occurred to one of the judges
in the western circuit, has been the subject of
much mirth. It appears that the 'lions judi
cial. having finished his labors, and having
cast off his forensic wig at his lodgings, had
retired into the next room to wait for 1 is bro
ther judge, whom he was about to accompany
to some of the local aristocracy to dinner. The
female servant of the bouse had entered the
bed-chamber by a side door, and not knowing
the judge was in the next room, in a frolic ar
rayed herself in the judge's wig. Just at the
moment when the fair Topsy was admiring
herself in the looking-glass, the judge unex
pectedly entered the room, and poor Topsy
catching a sight of the stern countenance
looking over her shoulder in the glass, was so
alarmed that she fainted, and would have
fallen to the ground if the learned judge, im
pelled by humanity, had not caught her in
his arms. At this critical moment the brother
judge arrived, and opened the dressing-room
door, with a view to seeing if he were ready,
discovered his learned brother with th? faint
ing maid in his arms. Not w ishing to inter
rupt whet he considered to be an amour, he
quickly attempted to withdraw, when his bro
itself, ’ and he left bis learned brother to re
cover the fainting maid as he could.”
Where to Plant Peach Trees.
Those intending to plant peach orchards
would do well to consider the following, before
determining upon location :
After several years’ experience and close
observation, the writer has -found that those
peach orchards planted upon an elevation hav
ing a height greater than the surrounding
lands, produce a crop of fruit each year, whilst
those planted in ravines, or depressions, or on
level land, usually fail at hast two years out
of three.
Ihe cause of this difference in fruiting. I
think, is this: upon elevated locations the
w inds are more constantly in action than in
depressions and on level lands, and in consc
•{uence, evaporation is carried on more rapidly,
drying up the humidity there. Therefore, the
frost does not penetrate the vital past of the
bud or blossom. On the other hand, if water
remains upon the buds, it congeals by only an
ordinary frost—thus killing the fruit.
Some writers, I see, are recommending the
p . lilting ot peach orchards on land closely and
densely surrounded by forest trees. My obser-
I'ion would dictate the reverse. The day
previous to the severe frost of the 22d of April.
1859. there was quite a quantity of rain fell
iu the morning: about twelve o’clock the wind
commenced blowing quite severely, and con
tinued until evening. Upon land where the
wit’.d has free access among the boughs, tbe
orchards bid fair to yield an ordinary crop;
but in other localities, where the wind was
obstructed in its motion by adjacent forests or I
hills, and the water left upon the buds, the
crop is almost an entire failure.
Ilabd to Beat.—The best thing we iiave
. heard of an antiquarian is told of William F.
Goodwin, Esq., of Concord, N. 11., who is ac
knowlcdged to be the greatest antiquarian in
New England. Mr. G., in order to add anoth
er valuable volume of legal lore to his already
, well stocked library, is engaged in hunting up
cdpies of the celebrated criminal trials that
have taken place in the State of New Hamp
shire. Observing, in a catalogue of books is
sued by an old and distinguished publishing
. house in New York, that a copy of a tiial he
• was in search of was for sale, Mr. G. immedi
ately wrote to the firm, requesting them to
forward it trt him. By due course of mail he
received a letter informing him that the copy
of the trial he desired had been sold, but that
they conld procure another copy for him, and
that their business was so extensive, both in
this country and Europe, that they could fur
nuh him with a copy of any trial he might de
fine. Mr. G., having been placed in the same
position several times by attemptingto purchase
catalogue books with the prices annexed, wrote
back the following short bnt pithy note:

American Iron.
The experiment upon the Georgia Central
Railroad, as to the relative durability and o
cheapness of the American and imported c
British iron, was conclusive as to the evident ;
superiority of the former. The General Super- a
intendent of that road has borne witness to ;
the fact in his report. We extract the follow- ]
ing in relation to it: <
The Philadelphia Xorth American publish- f
es several conclusive testimonials as'to the su- j
periority both in point of durability and
cheapness, of rails made of Pennsylvania iron, ,
over the imported British iron. An experiment |
was tried on the Central Road of Georgia to ;
test the qualities of the two kinds of rails,
the result of which has proved in the highest
degree favorable to the rails of our own Amer
can manufacture from American iron. This
road was supplied in 1856 with part imported
and part American rails; they were laid on
opposite sides of the same track for a long
distance, so that their qualities might be
fairly tested, on perfectly equal conditions.
The rails were of the same pattern, and an
extra price was paid for the English rails to
insure the best quality of iron. After more
than two years of wear, the General Superin
tendent of the road has given his report,
from which it appears that the American rails
were much better than the imported ones.—
Testimony of this character will, of course,
have its due weight.
The Wine Trade of France.—Five million
acres of French soil are devoted to grape cul
ture, producing annually over eight hundred
millions of gallons of wine, at an average cost
of ten cents per gallon. From its cheapness,
it is the almost universal drink of the people.
In Paris it is computed that each inhabitant
consumes two hundred and sixteen bottles of
wine in the year. In the wine districts of
France each person takes seven hundred and
thirty bottles in the same period. While wine
* is thus a univeral beverage with the French
man, the Englishman spends his money for
, coarser and more stimulating beverages. The
population of Great Britain, upon the most
correct estimate that can be made, consume
nearly four hundred millions of gallons of
spirits, and six millions five hundred thousand
gallons of wine. The average yield of Fench
vineyards is four hundred and fifty gallons per
acre, and the total annual value of the pro-
I duce about eighty-four millions of dollars.
Eleven million gallons of brandy are distilled
from eighty-eight millions of gallons of wine,
and the quantity exported of wine and brandy
is only one-seventh of the entire production.
* The total value of the brandy produced in
* France is about twelve millions of dollars, at
an average cost of forty-eight cents per gallon.
" The culture, manufacture, and selling of French
wines employ two millions of people.

Closed for Repairs.
In Judge L.’s office was always kept for
private entertainment and solace, a demijohn
of “ Good Old Jamaica,” His Honor noticed
that every Monday it was a lighter, a more
abstracted “John” than he left it on Saturday
night. Sam was also missing from his usual
seat in the orthodox paternal pew.
On Sunday afternoon Sam came in about
five o’clock, and (rather heavily) went up
stairs. The Judge called after him:
“ Sam where have you been ?”
“ To church sir.”
“ What church, Sam ?”
“ The Second Methodist; sir.”
“ Had a good sermon, Sam ?”
“ Very powerful, sir ; it quite staggered me,
sir.”
“Ah, I see,” said the Judge, “quite power
ful, eh, Sam ?”
....... „ou.u, auu apparently not so much
“ under the weather.” His father hailed him
with:
“ AV ell, Sam, been to the Second Methodist
Church again i”
“ Yes, sir.”
“ Good sermon, my boy ?”
“I act was, father, that I couldn’t get in j
church shut up, and a ticket on the door.”
“ Sorry, Sam. Keep going, you may get
good by it.”
Sam says on going to the office for his spir
itual refreshments he found the “John” emp
ty, and bearing this label: “There will be
no services here to-day, this church being clos
ed for repairs.”
Sam departed a sadder and wiser, but
(with his bibulous proclivities,) not a better
man.
American Respect for Age.
At present in the United States, the head of
our judiciary department is filled by Judge
Taney, a venerable gentleman in the eighty
third year of his age. His eight associates in
the court, with one single exception, are all
three score years and ten, and of some them
considerably exceed that age.
The commander-in-chiet, under the Presi
dent, of our regular army, who, in case of war
would lead Young America to battle, is Win
field Scott, who must be considerably over
seventy years old, as he gained distinguished
military laurels in the war of 1812, with Great
Britain.
The director of our foreign affairs, under
the President, and the head of our Depart
ment of State, is the venerable Lewis Cass,
who has attained the age of seventy-seven.
Ihe I resident, Mr. Buchanan, is full seventy
years old, having for forty years held a most
honorable place among American statesmen.
The colleagues of General Scott, who fill
the highest military positions under him, are
nearly as old as their distinguished chief.
The old maxim is—“Old men for counsel, and
young men for war.” None can doubt that
the United States has filled the first part of
this maxim, if not the second. Those who
consult our political records will find that
nearly all our Presidents and dignitaries, un
der the Constitution, have been men well
advanced in years. With the exception ot
General Pierce, we have had no President
under fifty years of age, at the time of his
election. The framers of the Constitution
disqualified any man from being President
who had not attained the age of thirty-five.

Tribute of Respect.
At an informal meeting of those members
of the graduating class of 1856 present at the
commencement of Franklin College in Au
gust, 1859, the death.of Mr. John Lamar was
announced, and a committee of three, consist
ing of Messrs. Jos. 11. Wilkins, James AV.
Moore, and W. M. Chase were appointed to
draft suitable resolutions. The following Pre
amble and Resolutions, expressive of the sor
row of the class, were adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased God to remove from
our little band one who was among its most
beloved and honored members, thereby sever
ing a link in the chain which binds us to our
Alma Mater.
Resolved, That we have heard with pro
found regret of the death of our former class
mate, associate and friend, Mr. John Lamar.
Resolved, That we sorrow over his loss
with a more than formal grief, for he was
during life the loved object of our admiration,
friendship and esteem, and by his departure
we are robbed of a companion endeared to
us by his many virtue!, and of whose talents
we are justly proud.
Resolved, That we feel assured that the
College has lost in the deceased a zealous
advocate, the Society of the Alumni a worthy
member, the Bar a lawyer of great promise,
and the State a patriotic citizen, whose in
tegrity and devotion to her rights woud ulti
mately have placed him among her illustrious
defenders.
Resolved, That we tender to the relatives
of the deceased our sincere sympathy in
their sore bereavement.
Resolved, That the foregoing preamble and
resolutions be published in the Southern Ban
ner, and the Macon papers be requested to
copy the same.
How do "you spell it ?
We mean the name of the Oposition candi
date for Governor. The journals of his own
party seem sorely puzzled to find out who is
their leader. The man whom we are assured
has earned an enviable reputation, is so little
known by his admirers that they cannot even
write his address. What is the proper orthog
raphy, “Aiken,” u Aikin,” or “ Akin ? We
wish to be assured on this point, for who
knows that he may yet be our ruler ! Since
you have at last chosen a name for your new
organization, please gentlemen, christen your
candidate correctly. Such small things may
seem trifles, but in a gubernatorial contest,
everything is important.— Athens Banner.
Fight with a Moccasin Snake. — I’heHunts
ville (Ala.) Independent tells in the following
how Mr. James Lapine bore off triumphant an
enormous moccasin snake:
He was passing through Mr. Thomas S. Mc-
Calley’s farm, a mile or two from town.-and
immediately on getting over a fence a large
land moccasin snake, full five feet in length,
sprang upon Idm from the bushes, and wrap
ped itself around one of his legs, attempting at
the same time to strike him with its fangs
Mr. L. knocked it off with a bit of wood he
had in uis hand, and hardly expected another
attack; but the vicious rascal again sprang
upon him from a distance oi some four feet,
and the second time tightly coiled itself around
his leg. By great exertion lie at last succeed
ed in getting his foot on the monster, and at
once despatched him. Friend James acknowl
edges to some degree ot trepidation during the
rencontre. Happily lie escaped unhurt.
Not the Youngest.
One of our exchanges mentions that John
Young Brown, Esq., recently elected to ( on
’ gross from the State of Kentucky, is the young
est man ever honored with a seat in that au
' gust body. Our readers will remember that
it has n'rsady been stated in the Express, that
seat upon the opening of Congress, as he does
not attain the age required by the constitution,
(twenty-five years,) until some two or three
months after the first Monday in December
1859. It is a recorded fact, however, that Mr.
Brown is not the youngest man upon whom a
constituency have conferred Congressional
honors. The immortal John Randolph, of
Roanoke, when first elected to a seat in Con
gress, was not twenty-five years of age, nltlio'
it has been asserted that he did reach the re
quisite period of life required by the constitu
tion, before qualifying. It was in this connec
tion that the anecdote which has been so often
repeated, is said to have originated. Mr. Ran
dolph, upon presenting himself at the clerk’s
table, to take the usual obligation, was asked
by the functionary whose duty it is to admin
ister the oath, “If he was twenty-five years
old ?” With his accustomed readiness he re
sponded, “ Go and ask my constituents!”
Without farther parley, the oath was admin
istered, and the youthful wit, satirist, and ora
tor, entered upon that long and brilliant public
career, which was only terminated by that
event which terminates all sublunary things,
and makes us realize the solemn sentiment,
that “ the path of glory leads but to the grave.”
Petersburg Express.
They Ask Twenty Tiiocsane Odds.—We
met, a few days ago, a zealous member of the "
Opposition, who was delighted with the nomi
nation of Colonel Akin, as the Opposition can
didate for Governor, because he never heard '
of the gentleman before he was nominated, '
and thought that nothing could be known
against a man who was himself utterly un- 1
known. This friend of Colonel Akin tcld us, ‘
“in a burst of confidence,” that he had made 1
a bet with a Democrat that Brown would not
beat Akin twenty thousand votes! and wanted ’
to know if we thought the bet a safe one; ; 1
The Oppositionists ask twenty thousand odds, ‘
when they bet against Brown, and when they '
get it, feel uncomfortable.— Constitutionalist.
Opposition in Georgia.—The Opposition
Convention of Georgia met at Atlanta on the
10th, and nominated Warren Akin, of Cass,
for Governor. We never heard of the gen
tleman before, but presume be is sufficient to
get up the shade of an opposition to Governor
Brown, the Democratic candidate, ami present
incumbent of the office. We see that Bee.

ing—sure index of the fate of its nominee.—
