As decided and glorious as is this victory—as full
promise ns it is for the repose and integrity of
the country, we were yet unprcjiarcd after the sig
nal check and rebuke of Frccmontism in Pennsyl
vania and Indiana to see it, in the face of certain
defeat, sweep so like a resistless avalanche over the
Eastern and Middle States. The Democracy and
constitutional men of the Republic have still a
great work before thcm,to which they must address
themselves with a mighty but prudent zeal and
energy. The experience of this tremendous strug-
_!e shows a terrible and most dangerous prevalence
of fanaticism and sectionalism at the Forth, but it
also demonstrates that it can be successfully en
countered and prostrated by.the good sense and
patriotism of the Republic.
Mr. Fillmore and his party have been more suc
cessful in the election than we have ever supposed
they would be. An outside faction struggling for
—they didn’t know what in the, way of political
principle, it must be held as a matter of surprise that
they should have polled so heavy a vote or carried
one State. They had no place in the contest. The
Freesoil wing of their party should have gone with
their fellows, and the Southern men have not the
first excuse or reason for not sustaining the Demo
cratic party. It is the last contest of the kind in
which the Knowuothing standard will ever be dis
played, and its short career has full enough of mis
chief to consign it to an unhonored grave. For the
rest which might be said, the following paragraph
of an address to the Democratic party of the United
States, from the Chairman of the Fational (Commit
tee meets, our views exactly:
My fellow-citizens, the contest is, for the present,
over. The Democratic party is again in control of
the government. It will have ample opportunity
to convince thosa who have been misled, that its
only object is the establishment of equal rights, not
the propagation of a sectional policy. It will show
the world that it desires only to promote the politi
cal and commercial progress of this great republic
—to advance the cause of human civilization and
liberty, not to acquire the property of other nations
by force or fraud. It will demonstrate that demo
cratic principles are alone adequate to the effectual
administration of the government, and that they
arc, os they have been, fully competent to insure
the success of tliat republican empire which our
fathers have founded and committed to our care.

I i( A9crtlng—very!”
The details of the reception ol Mr. Senator Sum
ner in Boston are very a fleeting. First the Tele
graphic announcement. “ Against the advice of
my physician I shall return to Do-ton to vote.”
Shades of the martyr* your spirit lives and breathes
again! See what a world of suffering heroism is
developed here! Fov. 3d, he comes and a special
despatch to the Times, says:
Boston, Monday, Fov. 3.
This .lay Qias. Stunner, despite the wishes ofliis
phjt-ician and the entreaties of his friends, aban
doned the retreat to which his exhausting illnc—
imd rendered his removal necessary, and returned
tu Boston for the purpose of casting Ills vote, on
Tuesday morning, for Freedom and Fremont.
But in v. hat a condition! The despatch says:
Mr. Simmer's health was still so weak and pie-
carious that the task of making a speech, even if
its accomplishment were not physically impossible,
weald inevitably be followed by consequences alike
di-n irons to hint, both in mind and body.
And again;
He looked pale and v. cary, and exhibited mourn
ful traces of recent suffering. The precautions of
his physician, in imperatively forbidding all person
al congratulations seemed absolutely necessary. It
was quite evident that Mr. Sumner was utterly un
equal to such exertion.
We can’t afford space for the Telegraphist’s de
scription of the number of horses, carriages, deco
rations or the “ exultant joy and mad enthusiasm”
of the riders and bearers. The Bomber* of the
latter were far beyond the leaves on the trees or
the sands upon the seashore. Leaving earth the
Times correspondent mounts into the skies and
takes at onee to astronomic computation wherein,
it is well known, the units are millions. Says he:
Astronomers, in their endeavors to represent to
the mind the vast distance from the earth of the
remoter heavenly bodies, are obliged to employ
units of comparison excessively greater than those
in common use—and so it should be in speaking of
the accumulation of multitudes that catuo out to
welcome Mr. Sumner.
170
Come we now to the meeting between this pale
and weary invalid and the countless and madly en
thusiastic crowd of admirers. The first one was
carried on in entire harmony with the programme
laid down by the doctors. They did not even dis
compose his nerves with a cheer, but as he passed
the line of carriages, he “ was saluted by every man
rising and uncovering his head in silence F At the
second meeting he had so far improved as to stand
up and listen to a reception address from Josiah
Quincy, “but,” says the despatch, “he was so weak
that he was obliged to lean his hand on the side of
the carriage for support. Under the inspiring ef
fect of Mr. Quincy’s clequcnce, however, Senator
Sumner opened his mouth in reply, but to preserve
the harmonies as far as possible, the Telegraph
adds, he spoke “in a low tone.” At the .State
House, however, his recovery is still more rapid.
Here under the eloquence of Gov. Gardner, he was
actually seduced into a forty minute speech, spoken,
too, says the Times correspondent, “ with much of
his ancient fervorbut even this (to be mindful
of the harmonics) only “ betrayed increasing weak
ness” and he afterwards sat down “ faint and wea
ry.”
At all events, here was considerable physical
improvement to make in one morning—from a con
dition in which speech making was physically im
possible and ]>ersonal congratulations dangerous,
to the safe delivery of two speeches and the en
counter of a crowd of so many thousand. We will
wager a button that Mr. Sumner was perfectly well
next day—because there was no use in being sick
longer—the election had commenced.
Georgia.
Our returns and computations arc, of course,
not strictly reliable, but are believed to be as
correct as the nature of the case will admit.
We have 97 counties returned and reported—
showing au aggregate increase on Gov. John
son’s majorities last year of but little short of
NINE THOUSAND. Gov. Johnson’s major
ity in the State over Andrews and Overby was
a few short of 4000. It is believed that full
returns from all the State will swell Buchan
an’s majority to upwards of 15,000.
Democratic Kcjoiciugs in Bibb.
We are informed that next Wednesday evening
has been appointed for a regular Democratic jubi
lee, over the triumph of Buchanan and Brcckenridgc
and the glorious repulse of Northern Sectionalists
and Fanatics in their attack’ upon the liberties and
Constitution of the country. Democrats and con
stitutional men of Bibb and vicinity, turn out and
let us shake hands over this great victory. Bon
fires, illuminations, torch-light procession, gun-fir
ing, and public speaking, will, we suppose, consti
tute the festivities of this grand occasion.

“ ’Meric,nils Rulin’ ’Mcriky.”
There appear to be two places in which they did
it very effectually on the 4th, to wit: Baltimore and
New Orleans. In the former, some seven were
killed and upwards of thirty wounded. In New
Orleans, the Courier declines publishing accounts
until some days have expired—in order to get at
the exact truth and to tell it cahuly in a cooler state
of public feeling. That paper says the “furriners”
were knocked down sometimes before they voted
—sometimes after, and sometimes both before and
after to keep up the equilibrium.

BANK.
Wc learn, 6ays the Columbus Enquirer, that au
investigation of the affairs of this suspended insti
tution was made on Tuesday by a receiver appoint
ed for that purpose, and that resources available for
the redemption of its liabilities were found to be
very scant. It is said that the amount outstanding
is about $20,000. Some sales of its paper have
been made as low os 25 cents on the dollar; and
though we have no information which would justi
fv us in holding out a hope of improvement, wc
still think that in the present undeveloped condition
of it3 affairs, holders of the money had hotter re
tain it for a while than take that price for it.
still farther depreciation could not make much dif
ference, and therefore we would prefer to risk the
slim chances of improvement.
We copy the following official statement of the
condition of this Bank from its Last published return,
which professes to exhibit its condition from August
1856, to March 1856:
Capital $125,000.

The English Press.
We have copied an article from the Loudon
Times, commenting upon a publication 'made
by it the day before, of a detail of Georgia
atrocities. The Times tells the story in its
Editorial comments, and wc have prefrred its
solemu platitudes upon the Munchausen nar
rative, to the let- affluent current of the narru-'
tive itself. The publication of such a story—
i the readiness to credit it—the insulting com
ments upon it, appropriately wind up a
course in this election upon the part of the
London Times, which has rivalled in bitter
and fanatic devotion to Fremont, even the
Netv York Tribune itself.
, Nor have the other leading English prints
been one whit behind the Times. They have
all followed suit, and in any stage of the can
vass the bitterest denunciations of the democ
racy, and the most fulsome laudations of Fre
mont could be'found ready manufactured by
the English Press. Take.the following as a
sample, extracted bodily from a column arti
cle by the Loudon Star, per last steamer, and
where, iu the less fertile northern newspaper
hot bed of Southern abuse, will you find its
parallel ?
“ It L- quite clear tliat tlio men of the South have
definitely and deliberately made their apjieal from
right to might. For law, charter, and Constitution,
for conscience, reason and religion, they substitute
but one convenient and summary process—Brooks’
bludgeon and Colt’s revolver. They do not pre
tend to argue, they only threaten. The only syl
logism they condescend to use is that of the high-
ayman: Your money or your life! It is obvious
that the influences of tiiat slavery in the midst of
which they live has so debauched and demoralized
their nature, that they have really lost the capacity
to perceive the distinction between might anil
rirht.”
And the Star proceeds to declare that the
election of Buchanan will be “ an insult to the
civilized world.”
This course of the -English Press is not all
the promptings of a mere fanatical and malev
olent disposition. Doubtless it has a partial
origin in a reluctance to reuew diplomatic in
tercourse with an administration identical in
principle, feeling and party relations-witli. one
which bad unceremoniously discharged the in
termcddlesome Mr. Crampton! There would
be little or no sacrifice of pride in sendinj
new minister to the court of Mr. Fremont,
elected iu rebuke of Mr. Pierce, and of course,
as Mr. Bull would say, in rebuke of Mr.
Cramptou’s dismissal, and upon other princi
ples so harmonious and correspondent with
British views and feelings.
But while this grossly intcrmcddlcsomc,
officious, impudent and insulting advocacy of
Fremont may be in part explained in this way
the real weight of solution, after all, rests in a
settled, malignant hatred of this country, and
the South, which knows uo other restraint
from the overt act of hostility than the mere
cotton necessities of Great Britain.
Let the Democracy of this Republic—let its
true friends everywhere, North and South, bcc
what is before them. Our deadliest, and it
may be most mischievous enemies, are hence
forth to be across the water. We are to
struggle with British gold and influence at the
polls not less than with Northern Fanaticism

The Election in Philndelpltia.
The Pennsylvanian of Wednesday says :—
“In this locality the election yesterday par
took rather of the character of a great demo
cratic jubilee than a serious struggle. The
great victory in Pennsylvania in October vir
tually decided the contest. The Fremont
ranks, thinned by disaffection and disgust,
and weakened by despair, ‘had no stomach for
the fight.’ That deep feeling of nationality
and love for the Union which so nobly won for
Pennsylvania the proud title of Keystone of
the Federal Arch burst forth in a living flame
of patriotism, which utterly consumed the
hopes and prospects of black republicanism.—
Philadelphia h:is covered herself with glory,
proudly vindicating her position as a deadly
foe to sectionalism, and proclaiming in thnn
der tonc3 her devotion to the Union and the
Constitution.”

The Cry of Fraud.
The vote of Philadelphia on the Presiden
tial question settles conclusively the question
of fraud in October. It shows a large increase
in the Democratic vote, and a falling off on the
part of our opponent*. The small vote cast
for Fremont, is but 0,000 out of 70,000, fhows
how keenly his organs must have felt the ne
cessity if ail immense amount of blustering
and misrepresentation to create in the public
mind the impression that we had a Fremont
party at all in Philadelphia.—Pennsylva

More Rioting and Dioodslicd in
BALTIMORE.
By the dispatch from Baltimore it will be seen
that that city has again been disgraced by a riot
and bloodshed. The rc-currence of such scenes of
disorder and violence m our large commercial cities
is to be deplored as disgraceful to our people and a
reflection upon our republican institutions. Balti
more has acquired an unenviable notoriety for her
riots, which will have the effect to injure her com
mcrce if means are not adopted by her municipal
authorities to preserve peace and order, and giv,
protection and security to the lives and property of
her citizens. The local columns of her newspapers
for some months past have been filled with the rec
ords of riots, street fights and assassinations, while
the editorial columns of some of her partizan jour
nals have breathed a rancorous nnd bitter spirit
well calculated to irritate the public mind and to
excite to personal violence.
In consequence of this disgraceful state of affairs
n Baltimore, we see that a portion of the people of
Harford county, lid., proposed to withdraw their
trade from the city. With this view a meeting of
citizens was held at Bell-Air, a few days since, at
which the following preamble and resolution 'tore
passed:
“ Whereas, wc have been convinced by recent
events of daily occurrence that law and order have
ceased to exist in the city of Baltimore; and where
as, we believe that the civil authorities either will
not or cannot exercise that control which ought to
exist in all civilized communities; nnd whereas, the
farmers and other eitlzcnB of Harford, visiting said
city for business purposes, arc exposed to all the
evils to be apprehended from such a dreadful con'
dition of social disorganization, and are without the
means of protecting themselves, and can perceive
nothing tliat indicates a restoration of order and
good government, therefore be it.
Resolved, That a committee composed of-
farmers be appointed to communicate with the mer
chants and business men of Philadelphia, and ascer
tain if it is not practicable to open a trade with that
city by means of the Philadelphia, Wilmington nnd
Baltimore Railroad and other channels of continud
ideations, so that by the establishment of proper
agencies at convenient places in the country wo
may bo enabled to sell our agricultural produce
and purchase such articles of merchandize as we
may require,-without beiug driven to the necessity
of visiting a city where our lives and property are
no longer safe; where we are at any moment cx
posed to the attacks of armed ruffians, -who appear
to perpetrate crimes with perfect impunity; where
the law affords no adequate protection; and where
the municipal govermueut is in-the hands of men
who are either devoid of energy or utterly indiffer
ent to the shocking state of society which is now
witnessed iu the commercial metropolis of Mary
land.” .. . . r ■
A Most 5*;:siil:i! Vllitii'.
A shock has been given to our entire community
by the attempt of Dr. E. T. Taylor, President _o(the
Manufacturers' nud Mechanics’ Batik of this city, to
commit »uicld*\ aud by circumstances connected with
tlte affair. Wc learn that Dr. T., iviiilq at Atlanta,
was found to be at times in a state of mental derange
ment, and a gentleman of this city started oh the
ears with him to bring him homo. Finding- the
Doctor in sneh a state of mitid-as to make it daiigor-
ous for him to retain deadly weapons, he took from
loin a pistol or two ami supposed that by vigilant at
tcutiou he could he arrested in the ateiupt to com
mit any rasit act. But when tho cars were a short
distance from West Point, Dr. Taylor requested the
gentleman who was traveling with him to pass lum
a bottio of Wolfs Schnapps, which another party of
gentlemeu near them were using; and while liis oyo
was diverted by attention to this request. Dr. Taylo:
drew a small sword from a sword-cane and thrust i
into his own side in tin* immediate region of. the
heart! Ho was hnmeuiately taken in charge by
physicians on the cars, nnd was Carried to Atlanta.
This report readied us on Sunday morning—the
attempted suicide having beeu committed on riatur-
day night—and, besides the very general sympathy
fora fellow-citizen who is so greatly esteemed l>y
this commnuity, public roport and npprrli* usioa at
once connected tho matter with the affairs of the
Bank ov. r which lie pre-id*'*!. It w. - g m-rally in
derstood that pecuniary ililfieultics had produced the
state of iniud which led him to the commission of tho
shocking act, nud it was but natural that the popul.
mind should connect the affairs of tho Bank with
those of its President. On Friday and Saturd,
there bad been an uneasy feeling manifested in reft
ence to tile affairs of the Bank: many notes had bee
preseuted for payment; and yeSetdty morniu
crowd gathered In front of the Bank, and had the
doors been opened, tlte run would have been contin
ued. Bat Mr. Fonda, tho cashier, is absent at the
Forth, and the remaining officer did not open the of
fice, Tin* inference, therefore, is that Dr. Taylor-
financial diffienlties and those of tho Bank are e<
n. fttrd. Wc do not think that it has any large
mount of notes in circulation—Indeed it has always
bet n distrusted to such an extent as to deprive it of
general confidence. In the present unknown condi
lion of its affairs, we wogld advise the note holders
not to submit to any great sacrifice on the bills,;_hnt
to hold them till we have more light on the subject.
Dr. Taylor was brought to the house of a relative
near this city yesterday morning, ill a critical condi
lion. For him and tor h;s family the. sympathies
of our citlMns are greatly entitled, lie is here uni
versally esteemed as a high minded; honorablo and

may be tho financial difficulties In which be i» In

Maryland. But others ask, ef this be so, what on
airth did you mean by noratin about that old
Buck had proposed to resinc in despar, bekase the
contest wur all between Filiimore and Fremont?
If you believed that, you ort not to have gone out
when it rained; and ef you didn’t believe it, you
ort to know what the boys will say sometimes
when thar backs is up. It ar a bad case every way
you look at it, frond Ranse, but something mought

they ses they have been regularly told out aud

they cum to sec the actial vote, they ses they have
been regular bamboozled into playing bottleholders
for Fremont. They scc3.that Old Buck got nary
an electoral vote in the North, that he didn’t get
in spite of tho Fillmore men, while in the South
they did their best to take Buchanan votes away,
and did take eight. This makes rich as meant to

the following chapter on domestic dlffienktea:
Mrs. King near King-ton, wtt- rcccn
sick, and her husband seized tin
elope with a liand-ouie servant named Martini On
their arrival in Albany, Mi.-.. Mania eloped frith a
young man named Cornelius taking Mr. King’s
money. King being penitent, returned home and
found that ids wife had eloped with hi- dry good-
clerk named Jeil'er*, with ail tha moveable ariiel*-
in die house. Whereupon King started otl'in pur
suit, considering himself a deeply injured man.
smokers. It starts with twenty-five passengers, oc
cnsionally taking up some and putting down soon
in the course of a journey winch begins at 3 o’clock
in the afternoon and ends at tj* the next morning.
The pa.-sengers know about as much of one another
at starting as passengers usually do. Three get in
to the train together; another is an acquaintance of
theirs; another is tile* father of one of them; two
others arc friends, and there are two fathers with
their soils. In the course of tin hours and a-half
iu this -eject community, no larger than is some
times assembled round a private dinner table in this
metropolis, there are five actual duels with fatal re
sults; a sixth duel, which was arranged; but did
not come off, Owing to the death of an intended
principal in another duel; a seventh duel, which
there was every reason to believe had taken place,
though the train went on too soon for the result to
transpire; ■ eighthly, a murder. Of the two dozen
passengers fifteen are mentioned as entering more
or less into the action of tlte drama; twelve took a
direct part in duels; six were killed; and three were
left on the way fighting. Four of the duels were
fought at convenient spots, the train stopping for
the purpose; one was fought in the luggage car
while the train was in motion; and the one with
uncertain results was fought-at a regular stopping-
place, Three of the dead bodies, pore left behind;
one was carried from the scene of tlte duel and de
posited on the luggage; another lay wltere it fell I
roadside. Of the six killed two were fathers and
two were their sons, one father killed while aveng
ing his son, and one child murdered for lamenting
Ins father.
■ On the occasion of the first duel the train did
not stay it out, but the result followed by telegraph.
At the second or fourth the conductor, becoming
keen in the sport, waited and tho survivors re
mounted the- train; but in the last instance the
conductor seems to have felt' a qualm, and he man
aged to leave one of the survivors on the road,
while, with the aid of the firemen, he boxed up
the other to prevent further slaughter. The time
was generally night, the last affair being at 3 in
the morning. It is stated that tiieso arc not un
common incidents,, and that scarce a week passes
without some fatal encounter on the road.
It has been calculated, though wc cannot vouch
for the calculation, that if the whole human race
started by an express-train for the sun they would
never reach it, since on the average of railway ac
cidents they would oil either be killed or laid up on
the road. Tliat seems rather preposterous; but in
this instance 25 per cent, of the passengers were
killed in ten hours and a half, and, at the same rate
of slaughter, if the journey from Macon to Augusta
had taken 48 hours instead of Iff)* only one would
have entered the latter town alive. Half, it is true,
would have been found laid out on their luggage,
but the rest would be left on the battle field or
flung, overboard. This suggests some rather se
rious reflections as to the future of the United
States, jor what we have described appears to be
the “ normal” state of tilings. The date of the nar
rative is tho 28th of August [last, only six weeks
ago; the Georgia papers were wholly silent as to
the affair; so, of course, nobody was brought to
justice. Indeed, the conductor of the train, simplv
for his own comfort, had adroitly managed to leave
the murderer, par excellence betiind ou the road.
But the idea of law or investigation seems to be
the last to disturb their thoughts. There is only
one thing at all out of character with the occasion,
or suggestive of a doubt as to this being the way-
in which the people of Georgia live—that is to say,
die. It is, that the stranger who performed the
principal part in the nigiit’s work thought it neces
sity to plead his own justification, and to praise
what he called tlte noble and honorable institution
of duelling. Else it all went on as a matter of
course, without any needless discussion of first prin
ciples. The young women entered the train with
the full knowledge that a “difficulty” was impend
ing, tliat their own conduct was the cause of ii, and
tliat of their two male friends A had proposed the
trip; they had accepted it from B, and A had re
solved to spoil it, which he did by going with him.
A and B, in fact, had arranged to combine a pleas
ure trip and a duel, and the only question to be
was the weapons. The real baulk of the journey
was that B, not being prompt enough with A, got
killed by C. The “conversation” was kept up the
whole of the night, sometimes on duels generally
and on remarkable cases; sometimes on the pri
vate experience of the gentlemen present, some
times on the particular duel then in the process of
arrangement, and sometimes on that which had
just taken place.
The guns, revolvers, and Monte Christo pistols,
that were to do or had done the work, were freely
handed round the company, and the principals hail
an opportunity of examining the weapons with which
they were to be killed. From the moment of start
ing till within sight of Augusta there was always at
least one duel on hand, and generally one or more
in reversion. The partners engaged themselves for
this dance of death quite os freely as at our own
county balls, and on as slight an introduction. The
boy, of course, had no right there, so liis throat
was cut and, he was thrown over. An old woman
sat out.thp whole affair without saying a word or
seeming to take any notice. During a great part
of the night the young woman who had caused it
all by jilting A, and accepting the trip from his
wealthier rival, was incessantly entreating the pass
engers, sometimes collectively, sometimes one by
one, to avenge B.’s death. One young fellow en
tered the car, recognized her, complied with her re
quest, returned to the smoking car with C, fought
and fell, all in five minutes. The young woman’s
conduct was extravagant enough, for, when too
excited to speak collectedly, she had a written form
provided for her, which she read as well as site
could to the company, still inviting fresh cham
pions... Rut there was nothing.extraordinary, or
even rough, in the appearance of the combatants.
B, who fell, was a French hairdresser; C, who
fought three of the duels, was a tali, muscular,
liard-visagcd man, of a mein by no means repul
sive or disagreeable. The first duel was between a
white-headed man, past sixty at least, and a re
spectable man about 45. The victim of the third
duel was a young fellow under 25, who tad been
smoking comfortably by himself up to that minute,
and only appeared on tho scene to leave it forever.
What is all this to come to? Everybody there
seems to carry pistols ns naturally as he does his
pocket handkerchief, liis purse or his watch.—
