The story which has been going the
roundsof the papersabout the unfortunate
marriage of Washington Irving's firet-love
to Dr. Creighton, a Presbyterian minister
of great wealth, and her subsequent raving
madness, all turns out to be a mistake.—
Dr. Creighton is a poor Episcopal minister,
and his wife belonged to a different family
from Irving’s betrothed. Ail the romance,
really so, is this: Irving was engaged to*
be married to a young lady who died after
the engagement was made, and ho never
married.

Convention on the 30th of last month.
“The Institute Hall this morning, was
packed an hour before the time of meeting,
and it was seriously proposed at one time
to resolve the meeting into a Woman’s

place assigned them in their own. gallery,
the la< ies'eame, on the floor, on both sides
of the Ilall, blocked up the approach to

President, at an early hour, even invaded
the Reporters’ seats, and made themselves
a nuisai.ee generally. We bore the inflic

only wished that those who had any chil

From the Savannah M<irnfng > News.
Letter From Hashiugtoa.
Washington, April 28th. ,
Public interest was divided here, to-day
between the Charleston and the Heenan
and Sayers fight. But, when coining to
details, the public found more interest in
the latter. I presume that in northern cit
ies this was the case even to a greater ex
tent than here.
The general opinion has been that the
Convention would be broken up, either
without a nomination, or with two nomina
tions —one of Jefferson Davis by the South
and the other of Douglas by the North.
Should tins be so, it does not necessarily
invoke a destruction of the harnu ny of the
party, nor of the election by the
Detyocracy. Should there be two plat
forms and two or even more Democratic
nominees, the electors choose, if they con
stitute a majority of the electoral votes,
would all cast their vut s for one of the
candidates, and tor that candidate who
may have the greatest number of electoral
votes. This would Ire tiie best plan, per
haps, for defeating the election ol Mr.
Seward, or any Republican candidate. A
Southern candidateon a Southern platform
vrouJd arry 127 votescertain.. Only twen
ty-four more IY‘ !1 *>e needed, or twenty
sevenif Kansas beanm..!*^ the North
ern Democratic candidate upou ti e North
ern platform may carry a much greater’
number of electoral votes than that. But
the electors would, of cotuse, unite on the
Southern candidate. This would be pre
ferable tb throwing the election npon the
House, though in that body the Republi
can candidate could not lie chosen.
If the Convention should bo broken up
in an ill temper—which is not yet to be
apprehended—it would have n very ill
elleet upon the proceedings of Congress.
No restraint or forbearance would bo ex
erted, and Northern.and Southern Demo
crats wonld be brought into violent antag
onism. The Republicans watch the pro
ceedings with anxiety, hoping to take ad
vantage of them. They do not -believe,
to-day, that they will,have to fight Doug
las, whose nomination they have hitherto
feared. They have had an exagerated
idea of the strength of Mr. Douglas in the
Northern debatable States. But their
fear of him, as an opponeuf, was based up
on the supposition that he would have the
unanimous support of the Convention, and
that the South and the Pacific States
wonld give him L 27 electoral votes. That
is now believed to be out of the quenion,
ami, therefore, they will trust the nomina
tion of S ward. Many believe that Guth
rie would run better in the Northern States
than Douglas. Guthrie would be more
likely to carry Pennsylvania than Douglas.
But, ere this reaches you, the question
will, no doubt, be settled as ,ar as it can
be, by the Charleston Convention
L have no doubt tlial Mr. Breekeuridge
has, as reported, withdrawn his name as a
Candidate. lie never intended to have
his name used as the rival of Mr. Guthrie.
The interest of the Administration in
it e no ..illation and platform is confined to
the rejection of Douglas and his Squatter
Sovereignty doctrine. Photos.
Washington Items.
The excitement here is tremendous.—
Douglas says be never will withdraw and
bis opponents swear he never shall be the
recognized Democratic candidate for the
Presidency.
Douglas’ backers looked fearfully Hue
to-day. All ot them that had any money
staked their pile upon liiir. when the seces
sion took place j they lb ,ugbf the thing
was dead sure. Their small change is iu
a baa wny.
Senator Simmons returned to-day, and
is now prepared to submit to the Senate
his proposed amendments to the Nicara
guan anu Mexican treaties, and but little
doubt exists as to their ratification.
The developments respecting the inter
est taken by England iu quieting the Met- i
ican difficulties, have opened the eyes of!
Senators, who are now satisfied that un
less this Government act* promptly it will
bo too late.

Uncle Dabney P. Jones.
*‘A knight of high renown: Not Quixote” “bold,
Nor Ain Mis of Gaul, nor Hudibras,
Mirror of knighthood, e’er could vie with thee.”
This war-worn veteran is still doing no
ble service ip the cause of Temperance.
No one dare question for a moment bis
devotion and firmness. Like a true Knight,
he has never laid off bis armor; aud his
armor is now as and his trenchant
blade as keen and glittering, as when first
he enteied the lists to battle a# the friend of
woman and blighted humanity. He is no
less ardent in his advocacy of temperance
in its low tide as in its full tide. Let tem
perance be popular or unpopulai, Uncle
Dabney remains staunch and true ’o tbe
cause. When disaster oame upon the
temperance cause in Georgia and the ranh’s
of its advocates were broken and dismayed,
and genius and lean ing and eloquence
from Pen, Press and Pulpit, were not
heard in advocacy of a. cavsc that was wan
ing, old Blucher still maintained the field,
his shield upraised and his taithful sword
unsheathed. Well does he deserve the
honorable title of the Temperance Cham
pion of Georgia.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
last, he addressed the citizens of Barnes
ville upon this subject. Dabney.P. Jones’
Division of Sons of Temperance, turned
out in full force, making a magnificent dis
play'. The Burnesville Brass Baud sere
naded Uncle Dabney, causing the welkin
to resound with the “concord of sweet
sounds.”
There were some forty additions made
to Dabney P. Jones’ Division, as the re
sult of Uncle Dabney’s labors.
Amicalola Division No. 156, at Carters
ville, is progressing finely, numbering neat
one hundred members. This speaks well
for Cartsrsvil)e and its citizens.
While Uncle Dabney by bis zeal and
labors, has kept alive the temperance sen
timent in this State, theie are two other
gentlemen whose efforts are worthy of all
praise. The Order of the “Sens of Tem
perance” are indebted to the fidelity and
assiduity of their Grand Scribe, J. (J. C.
Burnett of Macon, for their present heal
thy condition. He is true aud tried ami
eminently trustworthy.
The Older of the “Knights of Jericho”
t we much to the unremitting attention and
untiring v : gi!ane of their able Grand Wor
thy Recorder, W. G. Forsyth. His activi
ty, energy and watchfulness in discharg
ing the duties of his statioii have contribu
ted to their present picspevity.
Both of these gentlemen have (lie entire
confidence of their brethren, and we trust
will long .maintain their position which
they have filled with so much credit to
themselves, and benefit to their respective
associations. —Atlanta American.
Shipments of Colton.
Great efforts are now made to attract
cotton to Eastern States by an overland
route from tbe city of Memphis, Tenn., via
tbe Mississippi. Railroad facilities have
increased of late so rapidly’ that competi
tion for this trade has come to be consider
ed noticeable, and eomsideinble capital is
seeking Investment with the express object
of aiding to produce the diversion sought.
A cotton compressing establishment, on
a large scale has been put in operation in
Memphis, and tbe result of its labors has
been very considerably to induce freights
of cotton per bale. Btfore this movement
the expenses on a bale ot cotton from
Memphis to Portland were, $6 SO; since
the Dales have been compressed tbe cost ol
transportation between the markets men
tioned has been reduced to $-1 50 per bale.
To certain extent, it is more than prob
able that Northern milk will hereafter be
supplied by pet chases made .' n Memphis
and shipped up the river, instead ci com
ing for sale and shipment to this city. For
instance, the sup ply Lor the York Mill, near
Utica, in New York, and other mills still
further in the interior, formerly was obtain
ed in New Orleans, shipped to New l’ork,
and thence to the places of con-umptio
by rail. The river and more direct over
land route may’ now Lq found cheaper than
that which these cotton supplies have here
tofore taken. Experiments have been
made this season which indicate success in
changing the direction of much of the ra w
material used in factories having a locality
so favorable to an interior route.
We have not. however, s; much to fear
from this movement as might be expected.
New Orleans is the great centre where the
cotton trade of the Spulhwest naturally
converges. Bills to be cashed must seek
this city, even if purchases are made in
Memphis, and it is impossible to build up a
great cotton mart where there are not’ lo
cal monetary facilities for moving the crop.
Id addition to this, the cotton market of
Memphis can never contain much cotton
that is not the pr ‘duct of Tennessee. Pur
chasers cannot, therefore, find all the qual
ities that are important in the .varied man
ufacture even of our owu mills.
Diabolical Odtbagb—One Shot and
Another He no —We gather, from the
Seguin (Texas) Mercury, c.f the 11th, the
subjoined particulars of a most dastardly
outrage :
We learn that some tea days ago a par
ty of seven men, paiuted up and otherwise
disguised, proceeded to the residence of
one Flowers, in D<*.Wilt county, and de
liberately shot him dead in the presence
of his little daughter, whilst he was plant
ing corn in the field. The little girl was
dropping corn for her father when she dis-1
covered the seven disguised men at the
end of *he row, waiting for them to ap
proach. Informing him, the father turned 1
tu tiee and was shot down. The party
then took a person named Taylor, also at
woikinthe field, carried him into the
woods and hung him to a tree, and then
fled. Our informant did not know what
prompted the, parties to the perpetration
of this bloody deed, hut presume it was
in obedience to an edict ot the terrific
‘Judge Lynch,’ wbo lias exercised in some
parts of the country for some years past,
a dread and patent sway. Tho father of
this man Flowers is said to have murder
ed a negro of bis in Karnes county two
years ago, and was compelled to fly from
there in consequence. This may afford
some clue, to the summary execution of i
the son
Child Kidnapped by Negreos and

from -the office of the New Bedford (Mass.)

groes and negresses took out of tbe car by
force, and rnacVofl’ with, a girl aged about
seven years, who came on the ship tsylvia,
Capt. Swasey, from the Sandwich Islands,
and had been stopping with tbe Captainat
tbe Parker House. The mother of tbe
girl, when dying at the Sandwich Islands,
gave lier to the missionaries to be provided
for as they might think best. The mis
sionaries gave her to Capt. Swasey to be
educated by tbe Captain’s wife, residing in
Newport, R. I. The Captain has in Ins pos
si ssion the papers proving his statement
He had bought her ticket, secured her seat
in tbe car, and intrusted her to the care of
his sister to be taken to Newport wdien she
was taken violently from her lawful guar
dian by a band of lawless negresses, coun
ten,\nced by a lot of negroes looking on,
and w’as kidnapped from tbe depot. The
chief w hite actor in this disgraceful outrage
was Edw’ard Munroe, Esq., a justice of tbe
peace and „ v unner of an express to New
York. He .seized Capt. Swasey by the
coat collar a.nd .commanded him—doing no
violence whatsoever, nor making any dis
turbance—to keep the. peace ot tbe com
monwealtb.”
The bleached remains of tbe emigrant
party massacred at. the Mountain Meadow,
in Utah, have been collected.into a single
grave, and a stone monument, conical in

spot where they rest. This is surmoun
ted by a cross of red ceda \ twelve feet in
height, on which is carved the following
inscription: “Vengeance is mine, I will
repay, saith the Lord.” On the base of
the monument stands a granite slab, into
which are cut tie words: “Hero 120 m ; n

A Culling Affray.
Yesterday afternoon, (last Sunday,) two
men named .Lindsey and Cox, got into dis
pute at or near the Planters Hotel, when
blows were passed, but no serious damage
was done. Later in the day the difficulty
was renewed at the boarding bouse of Mr.
Martin, corner of Hunter and Pryor streets
in which Cox received a severe stab from
a pocket knife in the hands of Lindsey.—
Lindsey had a hearing this morning before
a magistrate, and was eommited for furth

his injuries are not consideaed of a serious

rilla and Cathartic Pills have done lor me. I l,r
been affl.cted with Liver Complaint for six years, du
ring which I was never well, and much of the thus
very sick. My liver was sore to the touch, and the
Doctors said was congestion. I suffered from severe
coativeness and Diarrhoea ultimately. My skin uae
clammy and unhealthy ; tny eyea and skin often vrl
low. Occasionally I had a voracious appetite, but
generally none at‘all. A dreadful sensation of op.
presaion on my stomach, with languor and a gloomy
sensation of sickness a&uver, kepi me in anguish.—
You cannot know how much 1 suffered fronf aninde -
scribable feeling of distress. The long continuance of
this condition, without relief, bad worn me oat so’
that I never expected to be belter; but reading in the :
Christian Advocate, of your Sarsaparilla, I com
menced taking it with occasional small doses ofyous’
Pills, to regulate the bowels as you direct. Front
the first it bad more effect upon my disorder than
I supposed anythin? could have. I regained my
health rapidly, and now after eleven weeks, enjoy aa
good health and strength as any other man. Aloy
the “Dispenser ol all good’’ shower blessings on you.
