FROM OUR DAILY OF THURSDAY, SEPT 14 j
Democratic Nominations in
Harris county.
Our Democratic friends who know the par
ties, will be gratified to learn that the Demo
cratic party of Harris county have made the
following nominations:
For the Senate —Flt.nn Hargett.
For the House -Geo. A. B. Doziek. and J.
S. Walker.
Thia is a strong ticket. and will give the
“Opposition party” of that county more
trouble than they have hail lor years past
Harris is waking up, and will rejiort w ell tor
Speer also, in October next.
Mr. Toombs’s Speech at Au
gusta.
AVc have waited anxiously to «ee the report
of Mr. Toombs’s speech at Augusta—particu
larly that portion of it v hick referred to Sen
ator Douglas. We have it now before uh, as
reported in the Constitutionalist, but its length
. prevents its insertion in this paper. Mr.
Toombs’s Lexington speech, save as reported
by the Augasta Disput'd!, which was said to
be inaccurate, we have never seen. It was
said, in that speech he reflected severely upon |
his colleague iu the Senate, Judge Iverson—as j
well as upon Col. Gaktkkll, on account oi
his ant’-Douglas sentiments. In his Augusta 1
speech, however, we see no denunciations, as !
were charged to have been made at Lexington,
of those gent’omen; no word of contumely cast
upon them. We arc pleased at this, for, so
far as wc, and we arc confident a large ma
jority of the Democratic party of Georgia are
concerned, the position of Senator Iverson
upon that, and other questions, is approved,
as is also that of Col. Gartrell in reference to
Douglas, and assaults upon them would be re
pelled, though they come from the lips of even
Mr. Toombs. But iu that gentleman’s Augusta
speech we see no such assaults. On the con
trary, the speech is divested entirely of lan.
guage that should give personal offence to any
one, and though we do not recognize it as a po
litical landmark for us in some respects, it
fully sustains the speaker’s high reputation for
ability and eloquence, and which have made
him one of the leading spirits among tlio
tatesmen of the age.
Mr. Toombs, in his Augusta speech says :
*• Fr«»m the 'lay of the adoption of the present Con
stitution to this hour, the Federal Government has
claimed and exercised the right to govern the Terri
tories according to their own will and pleasure. sub
ject only to the Constitution of the 1. nited States.
It has steadily claimed and exercised the powers t<>
control their legislation in all cases whit soever, with
out protest; th refere neither upon principle or au
thority has thin new position of Sena'or I)<mglas a
single leg to stand upon, yet 1 do not belong to those
who denounce him. The organization of the Demo- ■
cratic party leaves this an open question; he is hi
full liberty to take ci'her Fide be may choose, and it !
he maintains his ancient ground of ncith-r making
nor accepting new tests of political 1 shall I
still consider him a political friend, and will accept
him as the representative of the party whenever it
may tender him; and in the meantime, if he should
even wander after strange gads, I do not hesitate to
tell you that, with Lis errors. I w«»nhl prefer him,
and would support him to morrow against any Oppo
sition man in America.”
From the foregoing it will be plain that Mr.
Toombs declares Senator I). nglas’s “ wciX
position” has not “ a single leg to stand upon.”
We claim this to be high authority for the p< -
sition which we have assume ! in reference to
Mr. Douglas ; and th< ugh Mr. Toombs does not ‘
now denounce him, he will have the magna
nimity to partion those of hi- democratic ft lends
who do, and who prefer any other reliable dem
ocrat for President, North or S »uth, in prefer- 1
cnec to Senator Douglas; or who prefer not to
see the Presidential election narrowed down to I
a choice between Douglas and an Opposition
candidate. This can and may be prevented, 1
if the whole South unite, as they should do, at '
the Charleston Convention.
We think wccan show an absolute necessity
for this, in placing before our readers what
another distinguished Senator fr m a sister
State, saps. Wc allude to Senator Clay, of
Alabama. Referring to Douglas’s squatter
sovereignty doctrine, which, as Mr. Toombs
says “lias not a leg to stand upon.’’ Senator
Clay remarked at Huntsville recently, as
follows:
* “ Douglas demand* thia as a condition precedent
to his co-operation with you iu that party which he
styles the National Democracy. Coming fr<»m a pro
fessional friend, his dot trine i& not Jess odious and
obnoxious than Sew trd’a. Seward positively denies
your right to protection in the Territories by any
power. Federal or State, and gives you fair warning
that if you enter them bis party will rob you of your
property. Douglas admits your right to protection,
but denies its exercise. He throws open the Territo
ries and invites you to enter, whilst he bids Squatter
Sovereignty to dig a pit fall for your destruction.—
Give me an open enemy rather than a treacherous
friend.”
“I need not now tell you that I will not support
Mr Douglas, or anybody occupying bis plats-rm. al
though nominated by the unanimous vote of the
Charleston Convention of the Democratic party, or
any other party whatever. 1 love the Democratic
party for its principi-.-. I will not abandon those
principles for policy. I prefer the right, even with
defeat, to the expedient with sin cess. I prefer the
truth to triumph. 1 love the Union of the Constitu
tion—a Union of equal, independent and sovereign
States; but I love my native State, "my nursing
mother and my grave,” yet more, and I should be a
faithless and dishonored guardian of her rights did 1
consent to abdicate the power and abandon the duti
of Congress to protect the proja-rty of her citizens,
whenever and by whomsoever assailed, wherever the
Federal flag floats.”
Protection is an inherent right <>f citizenship,
guaranteed by the Federal Const Million ns expound
ed by the Fedesal Supreme Court, and witch y.-u sur
render it. you will cease to be freemen an I to desu-rv*
the rights, privileges and immunities of ire men.—
As your tru tee and servant, I will not d-» so at the
bidding of Squatter Sov rcignty —National Democ
racy or States Rights Democracy—yea. at the bid
ding of the Legislature or the pc pie of Alabama. —
If commanded to do so I will resign iny trust, retire
to the deepest seclusion of private life, anti hiding
iny face in shame ai>d humiliation, and sealing my
lips in silence about such cheap and worthless things
as State Rights or freemen’s rights. bec< me a quiet
passenger on ibe ill-fated bark of the South hs it
drifts ingtoriously down the stream of Time into thi
black and lideless sea <»f infamy and oblivion.”

After an absence of several days at Chattoo

last evening, iny attention was arre-ted by
a very extraordinary communication ot C<>l.
Akin's, the Opposition candidate for Gover
nor. in the daily Constitutionalist of the 3rd

I between Gov. Brown and myself. One thing
is certain, either he is very 'moderate in his char
ges or I have been very extravagant in mine,
and the Goverm r very liberal in the payment
of t wn. Now would it be believed, that this
identical combination of the military and the
civil, had charged one thoutand dollars in the
Mime com in which I had charged one hundreds
Yet such is the fact, if my memory serves me
correctly; (for I have not the papers before
me.) but for tear that I may not state the fact
correctly. I will mention the rase, that I may
be corrected, if wrong. And not only did the
sa d Col. so charge, but by controlling the < ase
over my head and against my earnest protes
ration, tost the State about three thousand dol
lars. I allude to the case of Western and At
lantic Railroad vs. James Edmondson of Mur
ray. Thu bill returned to the ofliee of this
Road at Atlanta, will show what 1 charged;
let the Col. state what he charged. Col. Ed
mondson proposed to me to confess judgment
tor three thousand dollars, which 1 was about
to take, when Col. Akin interfered, and claim
: ed the right, as the senior counsel, to control
it. Now let him stale u-Aaf Ac go/, (the rond
i got nothing alter the payment of liis fees) and I
| what tee he charged. Let him explain this,
i and then give us another chapter upon Demo
cratic corruption. I am upon hiimanperfectiou,
I as exemplified in himself.
! In the matter of the Martha Kinney case in
Cass, I desire also to make a statement, as the
Col. has thus unceremoniously and unnecessa
rily dragged me before the public. That case 1
was instituted by me for a widow against the '
Road, for the killing, by running otf the cars, 1
of a most promising son. The widow was !
poor, very poor, and the death of this son de
prived her of her only means of support, for
the testimony showed that he was a most af
fectionate and dutiful son, and gave his earr
ings regularly to support his mother, and edu
cate the younger children.
I tried again and again to settle, this case j
with the Superintendent, who was willing and
anxious to do so, but for the Col's pertenaeious
interference. I plead her poverty and the duty
of the road, and offered to give her every dollar
of my own lee, if the Road would pay hern
moderate sum. Finally she wrote me, that she
was sick, and had been for a long tune, and
was suffering for the necessaries of life, and
•‘for God’s sake to get some from the Road
for her.” I proposed to the Superintgndant
to take the amount of Col. Akin's fee in that
case, be the same more or less, so the Road
could not lose. He said lie would gladly do so,
if the Col. would let him. by whose counsel he
felt bound to be governed. The Col. declined
jto iet him do it. I offered to lake three hun-
I dred dollars, in rieic of her necessities, and give
‘ every dollar to the widow; he declined this,
ami controlled the Superintendent against his
judgment. At la-t Cuss Court, or Court be
fore, 1 recovered ?zyx>« the apipeal, within a few j
dollars of four thousand. lie then quit the
case and refused to take it, without another \
fee, to the Supreme Court. The Roa! was I
compelled to employ other counsel or let the (
verdict stand. Ami this is the gentleman who
arraigns Gov. Brown's “ I >einocratie friends ”
lor small services and large fees.
i “Oh. that some power the gift wotilj give us,
To see ourselves as others sec us.”
Upon enquiring as to the reasons why the
] Col. exhibited so much spleen against iny cli
| ent, who lived in his own town, and was a i
i member of his own clntrch, I wa-’ told her
younger son, who sometimes drank too much. ,
; had upon some occasion, in this condition, !
‘ abused the Col. This was enough. The Col's
1 dignity, which is much the larger balfof him. ;
wns offended. Woe to the reckless wight who
' disturbs him in the contemplation of his own
l proportions.
There are other instances where his “admi
rable management ” oi the la ■ business of the
: Road may cause it to sillier the loss of thous- '
amis; but I did not start oil. to point out the
Col's conduct, farther than a re| ly to his
unprovoked assault tipcn the Governor and
“Judge Wright, who is a good Democrat,” re
quires.
What nre the facts in this case. A Knoir
Nothing (for if he did not join the order, be
aided and abetted to the extent of his capaci
ty) holds position under a Democratic kdmutis
tration, gels all he can, and growls, because
Democrats are allowed to interfere with him
in his acquisitions. Ami this position he eon- '
tinues to hold, after it is known to him, his re- i
liiiquishiiient of it would be acceptable to the '
Governor, upon refusing to quit upon pay- I
merit tor services rendered ; and requiring, it
discharged, payment in ftdl tor the cases to the ■
end.
Wonder, from the signs how many Demo
crats will hold office or position under him, if
he gets to be Governor! Jove, with his
thunderbolts, would not be more dangerous
among the god-, than the Col. among the De
mocrats. “Sticks and mallets,” it is tnyzposetf,
would be in demand.
Listen to him, “Judge Wright was employ
ed for the Road in 1856. I was employed four
years before that time. Judge Wright wa
employer! against the Read in most ot the ca
ses in the ’ herokee Circuit. I qas employed
in every case except one 1 believe. Governor
Brown paid Judge Wright, who is a good Dem
ocrat, ami a supporter of the Governor, three

which they were conducted, and the Road .

The Wild Do; or Niagara.— Have you
ever heard of the wild dog of Niagara? Just
below the Suspension Bridge, on the Canada
side, and hanging over the river, to a bight of
seme two hundred feet, runs, for some distance,
a huge, broken, and overreaching precipice.
| which no human being could climb or descend
without assistance. Near the surface of the
j w ater, ami on tiro broken rocks, a large, noble
looking, and peculiarly marked New Foundland
. dog has been seen and heard at various times
I during-the pas-t two years, and lately within a
few weeks. This fact is authenticated by eye
witnesses, and as there is no way for the poor
animal to return to civilized life, and the ame
nities of human intercourse, he is a subject of
much curious speculation.
He is a kind ■ f Robinson Crusoe among dogs,
' and picks up, it is supposed, his precarious
: living front the fish ami small animals on bis
j “ beat.” which is only half a mile in length.
IDs howling lamentations from the rocky re
j cesses of his retreat arc often heard at midnight,
and a* daring attempt to approach and save
him was rendered fruitless by his ferocity.
An additional air of romance haslioen thrown
around his fate by the story that he is bemoan
ing his master, whom he lost nt the Clifton
House, some tw > yearn since. It is probable
that he (the dog. nod not the mao,) wan wash- ;
ed ashore by the rapids, which sweep along
herewith terrific velocity. But whether an
exile or a disheartened mi-autbrope. the pts r
cast away has the hoartv sympathy of every

Judge Douglas’s Essay.
We have not rea l cLisely Hie entire article (
of Judge Douglas, in Harper’s Magazine, but. L<
. we have read sufficient to convince us that ib !
will take w.mc of his apologists, or those who I
' would support him as the choice of two evils, j
quite aback.
This elaborate document is not, in our hum
ble opinion, an ably w ritten paper on the sub- |
: ject treated therein. There is a gicat deal of;
special pie ding in it and but little argument. ,
Mr. Douglas, however, takes his position bold
ly, and in this e-sny leaves no doubt on the I
mind of the reader, as to these positions. He
sets the Teriitorial authorities above the Sit-j
preure Court, the Executive, and Congress,
and distinctly affirms that those authorities
have the power on all and every point touch
ing the institution of slavery within hoirterri
; torial limits, so that they may not only with
hold protection to slave property, but exclude '
I or abolish the institution.
( This is the true position of Judge Douglas, '
as now explicitly defined by himself. Will '
i those who would be willing to take him in
preference to the nominee ot the Black Repub
lican party, inform usot ihe differ nee between
them? Certainly the planet' Mr. Douglas is
more direct and more effectual for the exclu- ,
sion of slavery train the Territories, than that [
of Seward. The latter holds that Congress
has the power to prohibit, exclude, or abolish
it—while the former takes it out of the control :
of t at body, in which it might be more difli- i
i cult to pass -ueh restrictive enactments, and
transfers it o the territorial legislative author
ities, where the institution has not a represen
tative.
Mr. See.at<i suiu truly, when he expressed
his Bel et that lite plan ot D uglas was a short
cut t*> the fulfilment of all the ends of the abo
litionists.
Mr. Douglas is n<> C tnpromise man : he as
serts that if the Constitution does recognize
slavery in tlie territories [he say s ‘establishes’]
and guarantees protection to the slaveholder,
every member of Congress is bound by his
,-oi* c e.ae uud al . t.< pr >v.do by law such
i 'eq a i and complete protection as is esseii I
rd t.’ t):o tud .. mei't <-f an imp-rtant !
i. or -• e''re i '•> i. eeoii- u ton.
Ole urse Mr. Douglas denies that the Cou
s.itiitiun docs guarantee such protection to
slave propc ty. The issue is therefore fairly
made up between him and the South ; and
on such an issue the Democrats oi the South
must part company with him forever. We
rocouiin.'ud all those who might have been i
induced to take him as “the best wo could
get,” t - peruse this e-say, as we believe it will
cause them to repndhite him. even should he

FROM OUR DAILY OF FRIDAY. SFPT 16
Lea>" M’e have received a pamphlet tioi::
Washington City, reviewing Senntor Dou-lns'
contribution to Harper’s Magazine on Squatter

“Fort Valley.”
A writer in this m ruing’B over the
:d jve signature, perpetrates the following:
At about four o’clock, a prore®- ion of tome forty
«»r fifty men, was formed at the hotel, headed by a
batrd of music, anil proecoled to promenade through
• >ur peaceful and quiet vil'age. Such a company.
Mr. .Editor, never before was seen in Fort Valley.
With a few exceptions they were all from your city.
1 aud I hope you have not many nivrc of the suiuc I
' sort.
*• Such ji upcctiicle was novel to our citiwen®. and 1
j duch a display of rowdyism and drunkenness was j
' neviT •tirjwwsetl by them before. And, until tb< .
I leavin;r of iJ»e train, at st ver. o'clock, the yelling an . I

" I never before saw a party beat themselves when
i they ha<l n • opposition
‘‘ Tho sober, respectable Democrats hung their
! heads, and I doubt not regretted in their hearts the
visit of their Itemocratie brethren from Macon.”
The ‘’forty or fifty men” who accompanied :
Col. Speer to Fort Valley, and who, with a
band of music, promenaded th.it peaceful and
quiet village, complimenting their Deni icratic
friends there, with mu->ic and cheers for Speer.
<b»ii Hess <rave great offense to this “F u t
Valley” Kcrihblcr, wh >, if we are not mistaken, i
might have selected Iris own newspaper from I
which to spit his venom at men better than •
himself, and who have the respect of this com- i
niunity, though they do not arrogate to them- '
selves human perfection, and preach what they i
<lo not practice.
The libel pronounced in the foregoing ex- '
tract, will, we are advised, he properly no iced
by them. The Democrats oi .Bibb know how
to repel slander, and ti e ‘’forty or fifty” re
ferred to will not fail to do so at an early
I pportunity.
In the Hands of His Friends
General Lane, of Oregon, says, in reference
to the Presidency, that he is “willing to place
himself in the hands of his friends.” With
all due respect to the General, and hi< clahn
to the Presiilency. about which we have n<
opinion to express at this time, we have to
remark that this stereotyped phrase, “in the
han Is of his friends,” is hut an »ther mode <••
' giving expression to the wish, “I desire to be
a candidate.” Modest though it may be, so t
express one’s self, in those modern tiliies no
.man misunderstands that, "in the hi nils ol
his friends,” anything else is meant than that
“ his friends” shall go to work and secure, it
possible, his n unination. Gen. Lane’s “friends”
i will therefore govern themselves accordingly.
and if, with him they can defeat the “ Little
i Giant,” we have no obstacle to throw in the
way, save to express the hope that the Demo- j
leratic party at Charleston will nominate an
abler, though it cannot nominate a truer or
j mtute patriotic Democrat; one who stood firmly
' by the South's Constitutional rights, upon all
| the reeerat exciting questions that have agitated
the c< trirtry.
But ScUM/n Douglas d »es not leave his nom
ination ’’ in ilje hands of his friends.” H 1 *"
takes the field, and, fr »m State to State, with .
I railro/id speed, he firs to secure it. Now here,
n >w there, with indomitable will, and brazen
1 fn nt, he addresses the |«*ople, being bis
theme, ami the White Ilotse his aim. The
’ South he strives to delude wkji rophistry, the
. North with squatter sovereignty. If per.3< vc
t rance should ensure success, then Douglas will
j doubtless receive the nomination at Charles
, ton. But it w r as not by the means w hich he is i
! using, that any Democrat has ever yet received j
I the nomination for President. Mr. Polk, Mr.
Pierce, Mr. Buchanan —and the Democratic i
i President before them—were free from the
» charge, as history writes, of traversing the
| Srates of this Union, canvassing for a n nriaa
na,tion. All of these, when they said, “I am
in ts e bands of my friends,” meant wiiat they
said F as no doubt General Lane does ; hut of
none t?f them can it be written that, like the
“ Litth • (riant,” they “took the stump,” and
travers ‘d the Union, in order to secure it.
Akin in Fulton.
The .Atlanta Confeilerncy thus writes of the :
Demi trade county of Fulton :
“We* have every assurance that Akin will
carry 1- ui‘oii county by a very large majority.
It will not fall short ■ f •"•00. Probably it may
go to ’ 00. The reaction in his favor is tre
niendot rs. And, from constant information this
is the • aso all over the State. All that is ne
cessary tor success is for every well wisher to
du his duty.”

ISM’ -A WHITE WOMAN ELOPING WITH
A NEORO.
One day hist week a strapping nigger and a
line looking, i.cl! dres-ed white woman, some
22 tears of age, passed through this place in
company, each carrying a earpet sack. They
called at Mr. Cowun's, a utile or two south oi I
town, for -ome bread, which was given them. I
The woman took it and w rapped it up in a '
copy of the Ashtabula Sentinel w hich she had !
with her. Mrs. Cowan made some enquiry ot
the woman as to w here site was from and
w hither bound, but could get no satisfaction
from her.
The next day a young nne . a brother of the
i young lady, < an.e along in search ofthepre
| cious couple. We learned from him that the
> nigger was a fugitive slave from Tennessee,
' and that kv arrived iu Jefferson, Ashtabula
! county, some two years ago. He li:td been
' petted by the abolition families of that tow n,
and the father ot the unfortunate girl Imd ;
made bis house the home of the darkey, mid
Imd taught his children the doctrine of the
“ Republican " party ot the Reserve, that no
| distinction should be made on account of color,
* and that the negro is entitled to all the civil
and political rights enjoyed by w hite men.
Under these teachings, the girl, who has
heretofore borne n good character, became in
Wtnate with the nigger, and au elopement was
the result of the intimacy. The young man
I threatened the life of the nigger it lie should :
' succeed in catching him. The catching tisnal
:ly comes before killing, lie was particularly !
■ severe on Cutty, and let out some pretty big
I oaths about his always voting the "R.publi
| can ” ticket, mid standing up fur the I.lack
I men. and his determination to d —n thut party
tor the balance of Id- natural lite.
Black " Republican ” teaching w ill do to
talk about mining si kly setitiim ntali-ts. but
the practical effects ot those teachings will »
cure men of their morbid sympathy for ne
groes. A case like this elopement, which is I
not at all uiius 'al, is so diretui in its results .
upon the prospects for life, of the deluded girl,
so harrassing to the feelings of her relatives
mid friends, so demoralizing to community. |
I and so revolting to the better sense of man
kind. that a simple narration of the facts are
the strongest cummt nts that can be made upon
it. Strange it is- th t men ot sense v ill net

Great Conflict in Fayette Parish
Tin: VIUILAN'I E < OM.MII Tin; HE! IEI>.
7’Zte Ou!'aics \ and Seccnty them
Captured.
A friend, who has just arrived f < in Lafav
ette paribh, [State of Louisiana,] informs us
I that, on Saturday morning the Vigilance
' Committe of that parish were suinm -i.pd to
assemble and ] r >ceed to a place called Bayou
Tortue, about fifteen miles west of Vermillion
ville, where an encampment of outlaws I.ml
t been formed, the ringleaders of which had
challenged them to battle. Accordingly, the
I law and order men of jhc parish, who had 1 ng
; suffered from the.*e »lepredator.>. who had rob
i bed, plund'-reil, passed counterfeit money, and
| murdered with impunity, quickly gathered.
! and, taking a piece of artillery with them
from the village of Vermilli rnvillc, started for
the rendezvous of the outlaws. At nine, a. m.
on Saturday, about five hundred well equipped ■
and mounted men suddenly appeared before
the entrenched camp of the boastful defiers of ■
the laws, where they found them in full force,
wit i the bayou veil guarded, and £ houfc in i
1 the centre of their position, 1 -op-holed, and j
! otherwise thoroughly prepared for enduring a
I siege, or resisting a storming party. The fag I
1 of their fraternity also floated defiantly in thu I
breeze, and until the Vigilants had formed
their order of battle, and unmasked their can
non, all looked as it the defen i-
nate and sanguinary. The sight of the big
gun, however, struck terror into the hardened
hearts of the outlaws, and gui pad sud
denly appeared to animate the warriors. Their '
. number was about one hundred and fifty, many
of whom having horses, managed to make Jieir
* escape, hut seventy of their force felt into the
. ands < f the Vigilants.
| Imiiieil’ately ac< urt mart al wa* formed,
i eonsistingof two Vigilante from each company, j
to whom the question was submittted whether |
tho prisoners—notorious evil doers —should
suffer death or be paddled. By a majority of ]
two, it was decided to inflict the paddle-pun- '
! ishment, and thirty-six hundred blows were
equally administered. One fellow comniiited
i suicide, by shooting himself, to av id the pad
dle.
Subsequently five others of the gai g were
1 found dead, f uni gun-shot wounds.
I Our informant says that the news ot t’
I affair caused the greatest pleasure im«<i> all
the hone.-1 and decent inhabitants of the par
' ish where it occurred, and the adjacent At a

An Amerioftn Eagle for the Em-
I’EROR OF AUSTRIA.
The Richmond correspondent of the Peters
burg Express says;
“ The Virginis Central bronglit down on its
train o! yesterday afternoon, u rare bird ot the
Engle species. At the invitation of a friend I
j visited this natural curiosity to-day. It is of
, enormous size, resembles the common grey
I eagle so frequently caught in Virginia, but it
iis bicipituiis, or double-headed and in this its
peculiarity consists. The two heads are clear
ly defined, and seem to bo perfect in all re
spects. It receives its food with the same fa
cility in either beak, and apparently hears and
sees alike through all its eyes and ears. It
was captured when a mere fledgling, near Ln
ray, Page count;, by Mr. JotllineS Scliwartz-
I berger, and has been carefully nurtured and
fed by himself and family ever since. Mr. S.

Important from Buenos Ayres.
By advices from Buenos Ayres to tho 12th
I of July, wo learn that the first hostile shut*
had been exchanged between the authorities of
the Argentine Confederation and the officers
of the State of Buenos Ayres. Two Buenos
Ayrean war vessels, running from the city ot
’ Corrientes, were tired on when off Rosario,
lint su-tnined little damage. After passing one
J of the vessels seized an Argentine war schoon
'• er and took trmn her a lot o war material. —
The American steamer Ascuncinii, having
Hon. Mr. Yaneey, U. S. Minister, Capt.Sleud
; man, U. S. N., and some American ladies on
: board, was also tired on, when steering direct
for Rosario front Buenos Ayres. In reply to
| Mr. Yancey's demand forexplanation, he was
told that the Ascttncion was mistaken for a
Buenos Ayrean steamer, although Col. Santa
Cruz, w ho gave the order to Tire, should Lave
known her. Gen. Urquiza arrived at Panama
on the 26th of June, with 1200 troops, but he
was in bad health. Rosario city was being
put tn a state of defense. Trade was exceed
ingly dull in Buenos A< res, and rates of pr< -
duce entirely speculative.
Ot it Si pi.i.ioit Civil iz.vnoN.—The St. Louis

"It is a comforting thought, that twice ns
many persons as ever visited Niagara belore
have been there this year in the hope i f seeing
a rash tool fall into the devouring waters be
neath. What the chictest natural wonder of

as it does to walk the rope that spans Niagara.
The only interest in the performance is the
I possibility of a Injure and a tragedy. We
i look with a suLiinte consciousness of superior
; virtue upon the Spaniards and their bull tights,
ami fiel a sickening honor when we read ol
the gladiatorial games i.t Greece and Rome,

then we all rush to become aiders and abettors
in the suicide of a poor stroller. Charming

We do not know with what truth this as.

Daring Burglary.
AVc copy the following notice ot an attempt
ed daring burglary in Augusta, on Wednesday
night last, front the Chronicle i Sentinel of
that city. The Rev. Mr. Mei-ter, the “ Pastor
of the German Lutheran Church/’referred to,
was then on a visit to this city, where be has
' many friends. lie preached in the Presbyte
rian Church on Friday night last, and paid
our sanctum a visit this morning, to learn tho
particulars of the burglarious attempt upon
his house, of which he had beard a rumor.—
The friends of Mr. Meister in this city, will be
pleased to see that the result of the attempted
burglary, was the fright only of his estimable
family:—
“ The residence of Rev. Mr. Meister, Pastor
ot the German Lutheran Church in this city,
was entered by some scoundrel on Wednesday
I night lasi, but fortunately the family were
awakened by the noise, and the chap wgs
obliged to beat a hasty retreat without taking
anything. He effected his entrance at the
front door, probably turning the key in the
■ lock by means of some instrument peculiar to
house-breakers. From the hall he unlocked
the door leading into tho sleeping apartment
of Mrs. Meister, who occupied the room alone,
Mr. M. being absent from the city. Mrs. M.
heard the noise and partially awoke, but sup
posing it to be one of the children who slept
in an adjoiaing room, she did not look up ut
the moment. After a brief survey of the lo
cality, and finding nothing, the burglar was
about to pass into the room where thochildren
were sleeping, and at this moment, as the mov
ing object came between Mrs. M. and the win
dow, the bright moonlight enabled her to see,
to her horror m:d dismay, that it was a stranger.
' Giving a scream upon the discovery, tho chap
wheeled instantly and mad- olf, chjsing both
i doors alter him with an emphatic bang. Tho
family by this time were fitly roused, and only
caught a glimpse of the retreating burglar
round a corner of the street.
Mrs. M. intonnsus. that on Tuesday evening,
a chap answering to the appearance of ihe one
in question, was seen standing in front of the
1 house, apparently taking a survey of tho pre
' niises, but on being observed lie moved away.
■'] It is likely the burglar and this gent are one
■ ami the same, nnd that he was aware of Mr.
Meister’s absence. It is a great pity that he
could not be identifieirand brought to justice.”
AVe are requested to publish the foL
. lowing from the Richmond Whig :
New York Correspondence.
’ To the Editor of the Whig:
New York, Aug. 31*t,
The celebrated Joseph Hoxie, alias Jo Hoxie, alias
[ Capt. Hoxie—after bis great betrayal of Henry Clay,
• met Ib&t eminent Statesman, and put out Lia hand,
paying, “How do you do, Mr. Clay?” ,4 !fo, Sir,”
said the bigb-minded Clay, “I cannot abakc bandd
with you, Sir; you are not a true man.” This ia an
endorsement, witnessed by several eminent Whig
- leaders, but it is nut one I should like to travel upon.
■ Jo Hoxie has lived a despised man for many years.
I should not have alluded to him, except that I be
lieve, under his name, an Insurance Company is
about to organized, and tho Blaek Republicans,
high and low, are moving in it. Even the Republi
can pulivuuicn, instead of attending to their proper
duties, are going from Louse to Louse, and from stora
j to store to get penuDb tu take stock! I believe it is
.’ to boa •'Mutual Insurance Company.’’ A prvmi
( ■ uent man iu the ranks, is a person oi the name us
’ Kennedy, who was uea very worthy carpcut
i and joiner. Then Lo started out as a physician in
, the alb Ward, and active politician iu ihe £epub'i-
I can ranks, and this Dr. Kennedy has been rewarded
i as ’* physleiau to the Sth Ward State lb uco,” f r
' which ho draws SISOO a year. Doctor Kennedy
■ started la. t year a milk business, and burst up in it*
Ho is now canvassing for tho Insurance Company,
i anil I recommend people to beware of him, and thia
. man Hoxie, that Henry Clay, would m>t shake hands
: with. Honest, well-got-up Insurance Companies, are
very good investments, and pay dividends in thc-M
' days, but people cannot bo too cautious in buying or
I I taking in n-ir Insurance Coinpanic*. Many u
? widow red orphan have been robbed of their little
; all, by neglect on this hand. I should nut like my
self to take a very large amount of stock in a Mutual
Insurance Company us which Ju Iluxio was Presi
dent, or Doctor James Kennedy fpolice physician)
c was Secretary, or Treasurer. It is not long since
i Doctor Blaisdell, (the former partner of Dr. Burdoll
‘ the murdered Dentist $f Bond Street) started an In
. surance Company. It was called tho “ Western In
surance Company,” and swindled everybody. The
i stockholders lost all their money. It was a fraud in
its beginning, during its continuance, anil at tho end.
They paid SSOO fur the use of the Bbrker Thump on’s

I oif tier cd up, a few days ago, at the justly cele
brated “oyster establishment” of Thomas Dunning,
on Broad street. Downing is a wonderful colored
man. He is from A-comae, in Virginia, and was
brought up (so he says) with Honry A. Wise. TLa
aged Thomas is a great politician. Ho is no Sum
ner friend. Ho believes in Wise, and ho prays night
1 and morning that he may have a chance to vote
, in this State for Wise’s Presidential Electors. T> m
dc'n vote fur bo is worth over $100,060, an i be saye
he>fhouldnow bo worth $200,000, had it not have b*.tn
for those infernal wretches, Abolitionists and
Repifklicans. He say a those chaps Lave robbed and’
cl. ented him, and he would vote fur old Nick, sooner
thmf for tirtir candidate, that be would g<- further tv
