Id?” We apologize to our readers for this week’s issue. An absence from Greens* boro for more than a week, has of course prevented, timing that time, any attention from ua to the paper. Last week it was edited by one of the proprietors, and lie ; would have prepared some original matter for this week, had it riot been necessary for him to attend Jasper Court. Swiss Bell Ringers. 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. Admission 50 cents ; children attd serv ants half ptice. Doors open at 7, com mence at 8 o’clock. From the Geor*?i* Herald. The Spiritualist. 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 ! “Tisimmortality ! ‘tis that alone, Amidst life's pau.s, abaseme ts, emptync.se, I he soul can satisfy, elevate and tilt.’’ Who docs not feel this from his inmost soul 1 f 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. WASHINGTON TOE. 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. The Crockett (Texas) Printer say* ; Mr. T. P. Collins, a merchant of that place, published a scandalous piece of poe try About a Mis* Whitwell, a school mis tre*. She sued him for $6,000 damage* , and gained the case. The jury rendered the verdict at midnight. So was public sentiment iti favor of tho plaintiff, that the verdict was reel ever! with shout* 1 of the people, the firing of gun*, and other ! i demonstration* es gladness 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 mantown Telegraph. 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.

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.

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 ocrat.

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 rnarks, the ch iirnian appointed Messrs. James L. B,o|ii, It. .J. L) nvitmi, John 4?'. Zimmerman, Wihn G. Johnson and 11. <J. Weaver, a committee to report suitable Delegates to the Convention.

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.

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.

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.

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. We shall publish the evidence in full in our next.— Constitutionalist The Home of Washington After the War. —This truly noble painting, which *. t- have noticed already in our columns, w ill not remain on exhibition after Tues day next.
