Onr renders we are sure will he delight
ed to learn that the famous • “B 1 .isdell
Brothers’ Swiss Bi ll Ringers” have made
arrangements to give one of their superior
entertainment* at the City Hall to-night,
(Wednesday 25th,). We have heard and
read so much of this company in the lar
ger cities of Georgia, that we are delight
ed to know that this community will have
an opportunity rarely offered. The pecu
liarity of these concerts csist in the fact,
that they are not alone scientific, but chaste
and moral— being void of any vulgarity
or coarsriess, and are attended more by the
religious portion of the community than
other amusements. We bespeak for them
a full house. The Hall will be put in its
best shape for the occasion.

Wc feel grateful to the editor of the Ga.
Citizen and Christian Spiritualist, Dr. L.
F. W. Andrews, lor *lu exchange of both
these excellent papers for the Herald. —
The latter of these is particularly interest,
ing to us. It is the advocate and exponent
•of the so called modem Spin* ualism. The
Doctor•* a firm believer in the reality of
4, ©• manifestations—that that they are
Clio coinifiiiiiicrttions of disembodied spirits
from the spirit land. Though, indeed, we
are no believer in these things, yet, as we
have never seen any of tlios- manifesta
tions, or been able to account for many
well-attested, wonderful facts aside from
* supcnmtmnl agency, we do not judge
and condemn before we have seen, beard
and investigated, rashly and precipitately
as is the general way with mankind. Our
heart is open to conviction, and we say as
the most prudent and wise Pharisee did of
Paul when almost torn to pieces by an en
raged, violent mob: •If an angel or a
spirit hath sjtoken to us, let us not fight
•against God.”
We believe thus far, that such demon
atratiniAi of a future state of existence is in
the highest degree necessary and reasona
ble. A ’e< essary, because infidelity and
atheismre fearfully on the increase in the
world. Man seem to die like the irration
al brutps, unregarded and unnoticed : lie is
gone, and we hear no more of him. It is
true, the Bible sftys lie has a never-dying
soul, that immediately enters upon another
state of existence, but it lias been nearly
•two thonsaud years since the Bible was.
written and miracles—those irresistible ap
peals to onr corporal senses—were discon
tinued, and nothing appealed to the senses,
•feeling, sight and hearing, since, in this long
period of time, to prove to mam his immor
tality; what wonder then it be lias grown
skeptical, mid is unaffected with this stu
pendous fact 1 He lives in the world like
a brute, only to eat drink and sleep, and
goes out of it the same wav, without scarce
ly seeming to know that he has a son) ;
and thus, generation after generation, in
countless millions, mankind aie driving to
wards the precipice of death. How neces
sary does it seem then that undeniable,
plain demonstrations, suitable to the most
unlearned ami ignorant, shoul l be vouch
safed to keep in them a knowledge of their
immortality/!
Wo believe it is reasonable, because it is
not at all contrary to reason, bnt what we
might easily believe, that the spirits of de
parted friends, if they have sruls at all,!
might manifest themselves to, and converse
with their incarnate friends on earth. If
ma.i has a soul, love, sympathy and friend
ship belong to it, and will follow it into the
other world most surely, and it is easy to
see this world prompt them to visit us, if
the Almighty permitted them, and hold
converse with us, Spiritual manifestations
*cem to be uo ways coat ary to revelation
and the universally received opinion of the
first Christians. The witch of Endor j
brought up the spirit of Samuel, which
conversed with Saul. When the disciples
saw Christ walking on the water, they
were afraid, for they thought it was a spir
it. thereby shewing that it was a settled
conviction with them that departed spirits
might again visit earth; and when they j
were doubtful as to his identity after he 1
arose fiom the dead lie told them to handle
him, for a spirit had not llesh and bone* as
he had. By this, Christ plainly implied
,lhat they took him for a spirit, and he did I
not at all discouiage the belief that spirits ‘
might and did visit earth. If they might 1
not, thi* <ru a good tune and occasion to j
disabuse the miod of the dinciide* aof this
belief; but the Saviour himself, take* it for ‘
(tabled that they might and did. Non •
and Elj.h appeared in audible conversation
with the Redeemer on the mount of Trans
figtiratioi a thousand year*after they had
departed thi* life, ami a great many other
instances conhl be tinmed, showing that it
is not contrary to the Bible, and the faith
of its inspired writers.
Bnt yet, there is one groat draw-back to
our faith in the modern manifestations, and
that is the foolish, unimportant nonsense
they are said to no when the spirits mani
fest themselves, such a* moving chairs mid
tables about from one place to another,
lifting men up and carrying them over the
house through the air, taking umbrellas and
walking sticks and tapping people on the
heads witli them, and such like senseless
proceedings If the Almighty permitted
the inhabitants of the eternal world to vis
it us, common sense and reason would sug
gest tjiat they would do or say nothing
| that was not great and wo thy of note,
j Give us firm unshaken belief in a future
\ state of existence, and we ask for nothing
j else on earth: no, not all the gold the
mines of California*have* or can yield.—
j Anything therefore winch has a tendency
to accomplish this great object, when we
aie so deeply sensible of the need of it,
will not be prematurely rejected and treat
ed as false. Light upon the mist and dark
ness envelope the unseen world, and a cer
tainty of the fate of those whose remains
have turned to their original dust is all we
ask. Annihilation, like a grim spectre more
terrible than hell itself, lias long “put its
misscreated front athwart otr way” and
; with an icy, sickening sensation of horror,
made tts to shiver. Immortality! how
sweet tho sound !

Letter from Mr. Poe.
‘To the Editors of the Journal and il lessen
gcr.
Seeing my name on the list of delegates
for the county of Bibb to represent the
Constitutional Union party at the approach
ing Convention for the State of Georgia,
as published in your p iper of 4th inst., it
becomes necessary and proper to give a
concise statement of the reasons why 1 am
constrained to decline this honorable ap
pointment and also for this manner of do
ing it.
As soon as the notice of my appointment
became known to me, I determined to take
no step in the matter until after the action
of the Charleston Convention, and then,
should a candidate be selected to whom it
would be safe to entrust the interest of the.
South, to add my influence, whatever it
might be, in support of that candidate
But business of an imperative character re
quiring my absence from the State before
the action of the Charleston Convention
can be fully known, J am, in justice to my-,
self and in duty to the Constitutional Union
Party, constrained to make this public an-*
nouncement of my position.
There is but one fundamental issue at
present, dividing ‘.he political parties of
this country, and that is tire question of
slavery. Its momentous consequences
have so entirely absorbed the mind and
heart of tho entire population ns to have
rendered every other p. litical question oh
solute arid significant.
The only organized party opposed to
Southern interest is anti-slavery, and en
tirely sectional. The Democratic is the
only organized party possessed of power
to he felt in the approaching* vital struggle
for the maintenance ofC< nstitutional right
and the, preservation of the Union.
From the signs of tho times, as at pres
ent indicated, the Democratic party has
the control of several of the free Stages,
and should tin* South present a united
body in support of the Democratic nomi
nee for the Presidency, it would in my
opinion, exert such an ‘influence upon the
conservative element both North and
West, as to add other free States to his
support. This lining my deliberate opin
ion, should the Charleston Convention put
in nomination for the office of President a
candidate who will in my opinion, if elect
ed, administer the government according
to the Constitution, the duty I owe my
country, disregarding minor differences,
will bind me to his support.
Your fellow citizen.

State Convention.
M/con, March 16tli, ISCO.
At a consultation of tho State Execu
tive Committee of the Opposition party of
Georgia, held this day (all the members
being present or consenting thereto, ex
cept Col. Millcdge, of the Eighth District)
it was unanimously resolved to issue the
following cal!:
The Citizens ofGeoigia who are op
posed both to the mad schemes of the anti
slavery party of tire North and to the abu
ses and extravagance of the Democratic
party —to all interference by one section
\ with the domestic institutions of another,
whether in the States, or in tho Territo
ries which are the common property of all
the States—who believe the constitutional
right of the South to a free enjoyment of
the latter, witli her property of every de
scription, both just and indefeasible—who
i eschew all sectional political parties as
inimical to the public tranquility—who
reverence the constitution and advocate
respect an 1 obedience to all laws passed
in pursuance thereof, and to the decisions
of the constituted judicial tribunals of the
land, are requested to meet in their re
spective counties, as early as practicable,
and appoint delegates so a State Conven
tion, to be held in the city of Milledgeville,
on Wednesday, the 2d day of May next,
for the putpose of taking such action as
I may be deemed expedient, in reference to
the approaching presidential election.
The Committee.
Editors throughout the State, will
confer a favor by giving tho above a few
insertions.

Afiecfiug Incident.
The Albany Express says: On Snnday
morning severnl young folks were baptized
at Rev. Dr. Magoon's church. The first
person who was baptized win a young girl,
perhaps 16 years old. in the last stage of
consumption. She was literally arrayed
in her grove clothes, it being understood
that the white robe in which she was bap
tized was to bo worn by her when dead.
She obtained her mother’s permission to
be baptized and then acquainted her pas
tor witli her desire. She was brought to
the pool in the arms of her uncle, attended
by her mother, and lifted in the arms of
the pastor, who gently immersed her head,
after repeating the usual words. The scene
was very affecting, causing some of the
spectators to sob with emotion. She was
so far gone that it jvas feared she might
expire during the ceremony, yet after it
was performed she expressed a wish to be
brought to the church in the afternoon, to
partake of the Lord’s Supper, which wag
granted. After the supper, when in an
other room, she sang the doxologv, ‘Praist
God,’ and when in her carriage, Dr. Ma
goon asked* her how she fob, she whisper
ed, “1 have fought a good fight.”
White Washing,
1 his is a subject upon which our farm
ers require “line upon line, and precept
upon precept.’ White wash is one of the
most valuable articles in tho world. It
prevents not only the decay of wood, but
conduces greatly to the healthiness of all
buildings, whether of wood or stone.—
Out-buildings and fences, when not paint
ed should be supplied once.or twice every
year with a good coat of white wash,
which should bo prepared in the following
way:
Taken clean water-tight barrel or otli-j
er suitable cask, aid put in*o it half a bush- j
el of lime. Slack it by** pouring water I
over i* (trailing hot,) and m sufficient quail- j
tity to cover it five inches ueep, and stir i
it briskly *iil thoroughly slacked. Whim
the slacking has been effected, dissolve it
in water, and add two pounds of sulphate
id zinc, and one of common salt. These
will cause the wash to harden a.id prevents
its cracking, which gives an unseemly ap
pearance to the work.
If desirable,a beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash by ad
ding tlnee pounds of yellow ochre, or a
good pearl or lead color, by the addition
of latnp-viue ivory-black.
For fawn color, add four pounds umber !
Turkish or American—(the latter the ‘
cheapest.) one pound Indian red,one pound i
common lamp lilac!;. For common stone j
add four pounds of raw umhc**, and two:
pounds lamp black. This may he applied
with a common white wash brush.— Ger

Bfrllj-Bay of Henry Clay.
Eighty-!hree years ago to-day (April
1-> 1860). Henry Clay one of the greatest
Statesmen and Orator this country lias pro
duced, was born iu Virginia. After a life
time spent in her service, lie died, and his !
remains rests near the homestead he. loved j
so well. But though dead—and though
the lifeless body moulders bem-ath Ken
tucky’s rod—his spirit pervades this great
laud of our, apd the sentiments and princi
ples inculcated during his life-time animate
millions of Ids countrymen. To-day thou
sands all over this Union Ire sacrificed him
self to shield, defend and preserve, are pay
ing tribute to his memory, To-day cannon
are booming, flags are flying and martial
music swells upon the air, as these thou
sands gather to do homage to his transcend- j
ent genius and noble, self sacrificing patri
otism. Os him, it has been beautifully said
“This was th- n blest Roman of them all”
and he might with equal truth have said
“l rn ***** •
A foe to tyrants, and my countr ’s friend.”

Prcsmiug Leather.
A correspondent ot the N. E. Farmer,
thus gives hi* experience upon the. preserv
ation ot leather ;
It is a practice with most firmersto wash
their harness when they wish to soften
tli .‘in; then hang them in the sun till dry;
after which they saturate them with clear
•oil. Now nothing can ho more injurious.
To prove this, put one drop of oii on a dry
calf-skin, and, in less than tour weeks, the
spot will be perteetly charred. Well, then
what's tojhe done l 1 will roll you. Wash
your harness, and when ab ut belt’ drF or
thoroughly damp, give it a good coat ot
neats-footoil and tallow. Let it be about
the consistency of soft butter, and applied
cold. Then 1 •ave it tinder cover—never
in the sun or near llie fire. After it has
hung forty-eight lionisi mb it off with a
piece ot iW.oleu clotn. Roots should be

A Fighting Country.— A citizen of
Memphis, Tenn., has just returned frmpi a
trip to Arkansas, and tells the following,
which will convey an idea of how tliev do
up matters iu that -State ;
Having occasion to stop at a small town
on the river, he was compelled to remain
over Sunday. After the usual cogitations
incident to a Sabfath morning, he strolled
through the .wily street in the place, ami
halted at the “grocery,” around which a
crowd of a dozen people were congregated.
He remained there three hours, and in that
time one man was shot and fatally wound
ed, and two others seriously stabbed, in
three separate fight*.
From a fighting country himself,'out
friend’s equanimity was not seriously dis
turbed. blit lie was rather surprised that,
j after tho affrays were over, the perpetra
tors of the shooting and stabbing should
resume their previous occupation with
seeming unc >nceui. Turning to an ac
quaintance, lie inquired ; “Don’t you ar
rest anybody here ?” “Oh, no !” was the
answer, “tee ain't incorporated yet /”
Aw One But Douglas. —The editor
of the Ringgold (Ga.) Express, thus sets
forth his view* and relations with regard
to the Charleston Crnveution:
“If Stephens, Cobb, Hunter. Wise or
any prominent man whose record lias iden
tified him with the interests of tile South,
should be chosen as the standard bearer
of Democracy, wo expect to support him
with all the zeal of a “scale bark” Dem

with no matter how good a platform, we j
cannot, and will not support bint, under

Grbenesboho, April 23,1 IS6O j
A meeting of citizens of the County of j
Greene assembled to day for the purpose j
of appointing Delegate's to represent them i
in the Convention to meet at Milledgevtlle 1
on the second of May next, when Col. Y ‘
P. King was called to the chair and F. C. j
Fuller appointed Secretary,
R- J. Dawson Esq., in pithy, piffnteil,
but eloquent terms, stated the object and
purposes of the meeting. Among other sug
gestions, and reasons fur the assembling
of the Convention to which the present
meeting was subservient, he said that in
these dark days cf the Republic, the con
servative elements in the national compact
must bo vitalized and brought into vigor
ous action, that to direct wisely this ele
ment, it must be assembled in Convention,
that counsel may be taken together, how
best to a*mid 01 meet the dangers that are
thickening upon us. That if the Conven
tion now in session at Charleston did not
put in nomination a man of principles so
conservative and patriotic, that the S-.iitlt
could\ unite in his support, then we must
look to the Convention at Baltimore for
safety in the coming conflict with Block
Republicanism* At the conclusion of.his ie

We present tu our readers Jo-day the lel

; published a telegrapm dispatch yesterday,
i I'he letter shows that Mr. Stephens does i
J not absolutely withdraw his name from the j
; consideration of the Charleston Convention, j
He merely expresses a desire that his mime
should not he so used. In this, we think,
lie is right. It u Southern man is to tie
nominated, we know of none now in the
field, who Would he more available or wlmm
we would more cordially support. Say
what jon may about Alex. Stephens, af

Greeley Calculates the Chances. —
Horace Greeley is a practical man as well
as a philosopher. lie is calculating very
closely the Republican chances to win the
Presidency. Here is his calculation.
1. We shall, with determined and united
effort cwry all the States which Fremont
did thus giving us 114 electoral votes to
start with.
2. We shall not get an electorial vote I
south of Mason and ILxon’s line.
3. We shad not carry either California
or Oregon. They must be abandoned to
the Democrats, who start with 127 electo
ral votes.
4. Kansas will not be admitted as a
State by the present Congress.
5. All the chances we have of electing
a President will be before the people. If
the election is thrown into the House of
Representatives, we can not. possibly ex
pect to have m. re than fifteen States, and
seventeen will be necessary.
The whole number of electoral votes
will be 303. Necessary to a choice, 152
In 1850 we carried neither Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois nor Minne
sota. With New Jersey. (7,) Pennsylva
nia, (27,) and Minnesota. (4 ) we shall have
the required “number and not one to. spare.
If we carry New Jersey, (7.) Indiana, (13.)
Illinois, (11,) and Minnesota, (4 ) they
will give us 249 only, and we lose the
election by three votes. It K tusas is ad- j
nutted, then the whole number will he
306; necessaiy to a choice, 154; ami j
(without Pennsylvania) we lose tin tiic
tion by two votes. It is quite evident,
therefore that the great battle-ground will
he Now Jersey, P u .sylvania. M nee>Otu j

The Island (f Sun Juan. —The following
statement was made by Lord Jo! n li asset I
in the British House ot (joumiotis, on -the
30 th ultimo, in reference toliie Sun Juan
question :
Tl>e only progresr which lias been made
towards the permanent seitlement of ihe 1
San Juan question is that an air augment
h,.s been proposed on each eide, but u tins
lint yet 1. cell eolicluded. The. lasi dispatch
on the subject went from this country, am,
1 expect that some answer w ilt be made j
on the part of the Government ot the
United States. 1 must say that comidct of
Gen. ticott, the representaiive of the
United States, lias been most c iiicdi i'ory.
About eight hundred American troops and 1
a battery of gun had been placed on ibe j
island ; but the number of men has since
.beeu reduced to one huudred, and the bat
tery of guns has been entirely removed
It is also understood that on-- hundred
marines are to he stationed there on tin
part ot tbe B.isish Governments, in order
that there may be a joint occupation until
tlie question is finally settled.
Thinking ond Working —ln these times :
the question most asked concerning man!
is—wlint can he do ? It is not simply an |
inquiry as to being able to do something
with the hands; one h ml, in fact, caul

Fire Negroes Killed. —We regret to
learn that a sad scene was enacted in Co
lumbia county, on Monday. A crazy ne
gro man, belonging to Mrs. Pace, went
to the neighboring plantation owned by
Col I. Clanton, and brutally murdered four
neigoes. One was an old woman, and the
ot tiers were children. Mr. Whiti.\to.\,.
Cl. Clanton’s: overseer, hearing tbe dis
turbs ce, promptly proceeded to the spot
and the crazy negro made a desperate at
tempt to kill him. The overseer shot the
crazy negro, ami in that way arrested
farther destruction of life.
A coroner’s inquest was held on the dead
; bodies, and the jury rendered a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. The ju
ry, also, after hearing the evidence, in the
case, declared that Mr. Whitington, the
overseer, was fully justified in shooting the
negro.

A Physician and Sewing Machines. —
A celebrated Southern physician, in a lec
ture befme the Mechanics’ institute, ot
New Gleans some years since, said :
‘The setting machit cs, lately invented,
will be a great reli f to females, enibling
j them to devote more time to those beauti
ful creations < f fancy and art, so interes
ting to tie- I’nitid, wlule they give the dodv
a delicate and agreeable exercise—mixing
grace, delicacy, and health together.—
limner’s female characters, which have
chaimod tbe world for nearly three thon
: sand years, were all occupied in ornament
al and fancy work. That such woik is
healthy is inferred from Penelope, who,
after being engaged for twenty years in
weaving tapestry, still retained her youth
ful beauty to welcome Ulysses. The la
borious toil to which Aitam, after the fall,
was expressly doomed, was not enjoined
upon Eve.’
