HP*Our acknowledgements are due, Mr. Jesse Thornton the agent of Adams’ Express company, for late New Orleans Philadelphia and New York papers. fSP We give a compendious account of the proceedings of the Democratic Con vention at Milledgeville, from a Macon ex change in this week’s issue. at The Elberton Star mentions that a son of Mr. V. Henderson, of Elbert coun ty, was accidently shot by one of his cous ins while hunting squirrels on Saturday. The wound is dangerous but not necessa rily fatal. The New York Express says that tho baik Wildfire, recently captured with a cargo of Africans, is said to have been •wned and fitted ont by a Boston house, who anticipated clearing over 8200,000 by tho operation. Deaths of two Distinguished Men. Wm. R. Hal let, the President of the Bank of Mobile, died in Mobile on the sth. Silas M. Borroughs a member of Congress from New York died in Washington on tbs 4th. ty We learn from a private source, says the Lawrenceville News, that the Supreme Court has reversed tho decision of the Superior Court in tho case of the State vs. John Fundy, for the murder of Hardin Colston. Berret, the Democratic candi date for Mayor cf Washington city, has been elected by 21 majority. The race is Raid to be almost the hardest one on record, and only resulted as it did, by a combination of all law abiding votes in his favor. ty Sunday morning a coffin was found is Mr. Funk’s wood-shop much to his sur prise. It had evidently from its scent been just deprived of a subject. The cof fin is about six feet two inches long, and was not made in Greenesboro. We sup pose that some of our physicians could ex plain the whole mystery very satisfacto rily.; iy We are sorry, that some of our Dem ocratic friends were disappointed in not seeing an account of their late meeting in this county, appear in onr paper the next week. The request for us to copy, which accompanied the report published in the Constitutionalist, was over looked by those who acted as editor in our ab sence. Hereafter wo hope, that our friends of all parties will direct their sec retaries to fnrnish us with a manuscript ac innt of their proceeding as soon after every meeting a6 possible. Murder. A tnorder was committed in Upson eo., on Friday of last week by a Dr. Chatham, upon Q. C. Howell. It appears that Chat ham rode up to the field where Howell was at work, and calling him aside, after some words shot him through the heart with a pistol. The cause of the murder was some report said to bo circulated by Howell relative to Chatham’s domestic relations. Chatham has absconded, and a reward of fifteen hundred dollars is offered for his arrest. So says an exchange. Dedication of the Presbyterian Church. This new church will be dedicated next Sunday. Rev. Dr. Wilson from Augusta, and the Rev. Dr. Hoyt from Athens are to officiate. These arc both men of reputation as preachen, while the occasion, and the haauty and fiuish of tho now buildiag, wonld interest alone of themselves. Eve ry one who stays away will no doubt re gret it forever afterwards. Cigars and Confectioneries. Mr. Wilson, who is advertising his con fectionery in this paper, is prepared to furnish to emokeis one of the best articles in the way of cigars, which it has been our good fortune to meet with in a long time. Those who wish the enjoyment which we bavo had afforded us, will do well to call ou him at tho old stand of McDonald. Ju the articles coming properly within rite denomination of confectioneries, he is wr**tl famished now, and offers at liberal prices, but will shortly he better prepared to give satisfaction Gall ou Un and enconrage young A* I meric a , iy Don’t mean to insult you, but the Grcenesboro Gazette told us to mind our eye, and we are going to do it, though we would kindly inform the Editor we have the happiness of being the owner of eyes. The above is from an editorial entitled,‘ “A continuation of things we thought of, - ’ in the Ladies’Department of the Thomson Herald. Miss Belle Phillips, by managing that part of the paper, has already acquir ed an enviable notoriety. We clipped from one of her articles two or three months ago, some remarks which inculcated in rather dogmatical style, the doctrine that about the only way to get a kiss was sim ply to take it without asking, and that bn! tew unpleasant or dangerous consequences would follow the getting one in this way. We warned her in consequence of using such language to mind her eye. We hast en to inform her that we meant in doing so no hint of any deficiency or obstruction of vision in her. Wemust say though, that the lady who expressed the opinions which we have mentioned tho second time, should not only be the owner of the usual number of eyes, but should possess them in the multitude, which was necessary to qualify Argus to guard a treasure less precious than ihe one Miss Phillips says may be had withont'the asking for. Murder In Oglethorpe County* “Yesterday (Friday ) just at night, Mr. Smith directed his negro man Jim to aid the other negroes to put away some straw. Jim refused and offered his master some insulting language, Mr. Smith ordered him to hush, and made some attempt to get a switch, when the negro rushed on him with a knife, and continued cutting until his master died. The alarm was immediately given. This morning the negro was found and confined, The de termination is uow to burn him publicly to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock.” is an extract from a private letter of a citizen of that county. We were intimately acquainted with Mr. Wil liam Smith, aud feel shocked beyond our powers of expression at the news of his untimely death. The deceased was a man wo believe, considered by his neighbors ot of exemplary morality. Though his soul was sent suddenly to its dread account, we are encouraged to hope it went nut unpre pared. For the honor of the old county in which we lived so long, that wo look upon it almost as our native county, may we shortly hoar, that these so justly incensed against the murderer, have decided to leave him to the vengeanee of the law. That law has prescribed the mode of death which shall be the punishment for his crime, and any other, or even that intiicted by lawless authority, will be thought of afterwards with shame and remorse, even by those those the most injured in losing a dear friend or a near relative. [We bear since writing the above, that the negro was burnt at the stake Monday morning. The Late Duel. We clip this account of it from the Sa vannah correspondent of the Charleston Mercury. “Screven's Ferrymen the Carolina side of the river, is fast becoming famous as a duelling ground. Only a few days ago, as you have been already advised, an af fair of honor was amicably settled there, after an exchange of harmless shots. This morning tho FeiTV was the scene of another duel, between Dr. Wra.B. Holmes, of Waynesboro,’ and Llewei’er, A. Nelms, of Warrentou, both of this i? f alc. The weapons were double-barrelled shof guns; distance, forty paces. At the first .firs, Mr. Nelms received a portion of the dis charge of his opponent’s gun in the body, which terminated tho affair for the present, though we understand that Mr. Nelms, in his wounded condition, having a second shot, which his friends, of course, would uot allow. The wounded gentle man was conveyed to the Pnlaski Hotel, where the extent of his injury was more definitely ascertained. Four grains of buckshot had made as many flesh-wounds in his body and left arm, neither of which, however, is considered serious. The dif ficulty originated in some proceedings which took place in Burke county imme diately after the adjournment of the Charleston Convention, It appears that the citizens of that county were uot satis fied with merely endorsing the course of the seceding delegates, but they had de termined to express their dissatisfaction with tho members of the Georgia delega tion who remained in the Convention. With this view, they burned in effigy the non-seceding delegates, among whom was Mr Nelms. Dr. Holmes was one of the principal actors in this demonstration, and hence the cause. Both gentlemen Arc considered excellent shots, and exhibited much firmness and bravery on the field. Dr. H. escaped unhurt.” An Old Shoe.—The Cincinnati Ga zette reports: A relic, in the shape of an infant’s shoe, that is now two hundred years old, is in the possession of a lady residing in our city. Tho lady is about sixty years of age, and tbe shoe was worn by the grand father of her great-grandfather, in cross ing the ocean when an infant, in tbe year IG6O. There is its complete history, which is very explicit aud authentic. Tho wearer of this shoe was the progeni tor of some of the most daring, as well as roost noted patriots of tbe Revolution, of whom Daniel Morgan, the hero of the Cownens, stands foremost. This relie should be pot in some public receptacle for preservation. tSP* Senator Cameron has stated tbe Tariff question in behalf of Pennsylvania. in four words, thus: ’’ ft ’ our supper .” Democratic State Contention* This body met in Milledgeville on last Monday and organized by the election of Hon.

That >ur delegates are here by instructed to cast the vote o’ this State, as a unit, on all questions arising in this Convention; and that each delegate, who may not be able to attend in person, is hereby authorized to appoint a substitute, such appointihent being subject to the ap proval of the majority of the delegation. A majority Report was offered, to the following effect: Resolved, That we reaffirm the Cincin nati Platform, with the following addition al propositions: Ist, That the citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with their property of auv kind, in the .organ ized Territories of the United States, and that nnder the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in tKe case of Died Scott, which wc recognise as the correct exposition of the Constitution in this particular, slave property stands upon the same footing as all other descriptions of property, and that neither the General Government, nor any Territorial Govern ment can destroy or impair the right to slave property in the common territories, any more ti'an the light to any other de scription of property : that property of all kinds, slaves as well a? any other specie*! of property, in the terj itoi7.es, stand upon | the same equal and Constitutional basis,! and subject to like principles of recognition I and protection in the legislative, judicial and executive departments of the govern ment. h 2nd, That we will support any man rtbo may be nominated by the Baltimore Con vention, for the Presidency, who holds the principles set forth in the foregoing propo sition, and who will give them his endorse ment, and that we will not hold ourselves bound to support any man, who may be-aj nominee, who ontertains principles incon sistent with those set forth in the above proposition, or who denies that slave prop erty in the territories does stand on an equal tooting, and on the same Constitu tional basis of other descriptions of prop erty. ~ In view of the fact that a large majority of the delegates from Georgia felt it to he their duty to withdraw from the late Dem ocratic Convention at Charleston, thereby depriving this State of her vote therein according to the decision of said Conven tion. Resolved, That this Conention will appoint twenty delegates—four from the State at large, and two from each Gou gressional District—to represent tiie Dem ocratic party of Georgia, iu the adjourned Convention at Baltimore on the JBth iust., and that said delegates he and ace hereby instructed to present the foregoing propo sitions, and ask their adoption by the N ational Democratic Convention. ‘ V ' L HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. THOB. P. SAFFOLD, ~ H. K. McKAY, A. COLVARD. “ ‘ Messrs. Howell Cobb, of dark# Dr. Branham, of Bibb, B. C. Yaney of Fulton, and H. R. Jackson of Chatham, addressed tho Convention in favor of the majority Report, and James L. Bewrd*wf Thomas, James Gardner of Richmond!* T P Bali { fold of Moigan aud Hon. H. V. Johnson of Jefferson, in favor of tho minority Re port. After r stormy discussion; the Majority- Report was adopted by a lasge majority, at a late hour on Tuesday- evening. Immediately thereafter, the straight-out Baltimore men or minority ipport men met in council—organized a Disruption Convention and elected 20 delegates to the U. S. Baltimore Convention. The Black Republicans and Mr Bell.— The Republican press at the North are down upon Mr. Bell on the slavery ques tion, and declare that instead of being a “conservative,” as he has been represented he is an out-and-out “slavery defender and extensionist.” The N. Y. Evening Post has a long article on the subject, and de nounces Mr Bell in no measured terms, for the sentiment uttered in his speech on tho compromise, that “the soundness of the doctrine, that the constitution, proprio vi gore, that the flag of the Uuiou, protects the citizen in the enjoymeut of his rights of property of every description, recogniz ed as such in any of the States, on every sea and in every territory of the Union, cannot be questioned.” Such is Mr. Bell among the freesoilers. Here at the South there are those who aro unscrupulous enough to assert that he is not to be trusted ou the slavery question. So much tor party. — Sav. Republican. Return of the Jews to Palestine.—There are few current subjects of more absorb ing interest or of deeper significance than the events now almost daily transpiring which point to the re-possession by the Jews of their own land. The tide of prog ress, after a lapse of centuries, may he sa’d to have fairly turned in that direction, and the prayer long offered by that chosen but now scattered people, that “Judah may be saved and Isreal dwell securely, and that the Redeemer may come t Zion,” is undoubtedly hastening to fulfil ment.* The Sultan ot Turkey is encour aging Jewish emigration to Palestine, and is offering to sell them as much land as they choose to buy, and it is said has even expressed his willingness to dispose of the Mosque of Omar to them, which, it will be recollected, stands upon the very site of the Jewish Temple on Mount Moriah. This mosque is one of the Mahominedap’s most celebrated shrines, being scarcely in ferior in national importance to those of Mecca and Medina. A terrible tragedy was enacted in tlie California Assembly a few days before its Hdjouri incut. A member of the House, named John O. Bell, was shot and stabbed to death, almcot, in his seat, by one Dr. Stone. Stone was a lobby member at tempting to procure the passage of a bill tor the division of the county represented by Mr. Bell, and to which the latter was opposed. Mr. Bell was in the act of con sultation with another member beyond the bar ol the assembly, while it was in ses sion, when Stone- came, denounced Bell as a liar, and immediately began shooting and stabbing him. Tho unfortunate man was carried away, and died two days af ter. Stone was released on bail. As lie is a rich man, the crime will go unpunish ed. The Assembly took no notice of the murder. Bell was from Ohio, anu was un armed. Stone is from Kentucky. Sever al circumstances show the acts to have been premeditated. An Attempt to EscApu-Capt. Geoige W. Evans, alias George. VV. Edmonds, convicted, at the recent term of Troup Superior Court, of larceny from the house, eame very near making his escape from the jail on yesterday. The Sheriff, in or der to make the prisoner as comfortable as possible, placed him in the debtor,s room. About 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon he had succeeded in removing the brick in the back of the fire-place to the centre of the wall of the building, and breaking one of the irou cars running between the dou ble walls, when be wa> discovered outside —be having removed one of the outside briqks. A few more minutes would have accomplished his aim. Hereafter he will be well secured. —La Grange Reporter. An insane old lady created some sensa tion in Havre a few weeks ago. She call ed at the police office to say that, actua ted by the example of the Count de Mon temoliuin resigning, in favor of Queen Isabella, all his pretensions to the throne !of Spain, she had also concluded to abdi-’ 1 cate in favor of Napoleon 111. of France. ! She henceforth said she would, for the I peace of the country, resign all her claims —which all the world knew to be just—to the imperial purple, and the Palace of the Tuilerics. Old Abe’s cabinet has already been designated. It will be made in this way: Secretary of State. W. H.

Issue of tbe 30th ultimo, states : “We learn that a fair but frail woman, somewhere within the corporate limits of our City, on last night, was driven to desperation by tbe cruelty of one upon whom she depended, and attempted to commit suicide. The weapon used was a pistol, which was placed just over the heart and discharged.

Last Sabbath Rev. Daniel Waldo, of Syracuse, who is spending a few days with relatives in this village, preached twice in the Presbyterian Church. Next September Mr. Waldo will have reached the unusual and advanced age of ninety eight. Still he retains his health and in tellect in a remarkable degree. The sight we never expect to look upon again—a clergyman preaching to the fourth gener ation that has'rccupied the stage since his birth. His discourses were extempore, delivered with the clearness and Juice of One just entering upon u uure age, rafter than upon the verge ot a century. His countenance beams with cheerfulness and good will, and we venture that he is no ascetic, but looks upon the bright side of all things. It must be a placid spirit to tabernacle so long in the clayey-tenement, with so little appearance of decay-. Mr. Waldo, it will be recollected, was Chap lain of the 34th Congress, in the years 1855 and 1856. We trust he may see a century.— N. Y. Exchange. Alabama Democratic Conventions.—Two Democratic Conventions were held at Montgomery, oti Monday aud Tuesday last—one. the Regular Convention, sends Delegates to Richmond, with authority to go to Baltimore, if the Richmond Conven tion so determines.

A Good o\k.—The New York Times compares the pity of the New York Herald to the way in which old Touch wood’s sons “fp'rcd the Lord ’’ These sons were sadly addicted to wicked practices; and one Sunday morning the u.ioiKicr of the p'-‘sh met one of tnom starting for the woods with a gun on his shoulder. Seek ing out the father, the clergyman told him that be ought to admonish bis sons, and bring them up in the fear of the Lord. “Fear the Lord,” replied old 1 ouchwood “they are so afraid of hint now that they daren’t stir out on Sunday without a double barreled shot gun in their hand !’ A Model Court. —At St. Clair, Michi gan, the otlisr day, a dentist was called to serve as a juryman in a case pending be fore a Justice of the Peace.
