POLITICAL LITERATI RE.
If the Southern people can lay clniruv to any Lit
erature tit all, it is of an entirely Political character.”
Few journals have ever been established among us,
w hose object was the cultivation of a tine Literature;
and still fewer have ever met with any degree of suc
cess. Those which have been established have lan
guished for a few years, and finally utterly failed for
want of patronage. But our Political Press is in a
very flourishing condition. Papers re being estab
lished in every little country village for the purpose
of disseminating “general knowledge and useful in
telligence” in the surrounding community. These,
containing a few topics of news, several articles of
political slang, and the advertisements for all ttie bu
siness men of the village, arc, in the opinion of many,
perfect models of what a newspaper should be. It
is chiefly however when the waves of popular ex
citement run high that the Political Press rises in im
portance and displays its power. It then becomes
the agent by which the fiery passions of men are
blown into an active, living flame. Safely ensconsed
in the secrecy of his “sanctum” the excited editor
deals forth furious blows upon all opponents. The
opinions of the indefinite “we” are set forth with the
most undaunted confidence, while to discover who
that “we” is, would be frequently as fruitless ns
“giving to airy nothing a local habitation and a
name.’ There is no one, how high so ever his po
sition, or exalted his character, whom this daring
“we” will not presume to attack. Every rival of the
Prcsu is constantly charged with falsehood and in
consistency, the editor in the meanwhile entirely for
gefting or wilfully ignoring the fact that he is equal
ly inconsistent and resorts to the same base methods
of deceiving his readers. Every Politician, who is
at all opposed to him, is abused for his conduct, con
demned for his principles, and mocked and derided
for his course of action. He imagines that the more
bitter invective, and debasing slanghecan introduce
into his pieces the more spicy and readable they be
come. Frequently we find those who attach them
selves madly to some favorite leader, by whom they
are led unresistingly through the quagmires of error
without thought, feeling or action of their own.—
Should one of them ever endeavor to break off and
tliink and act for himself, he finds the chalice of
abuse, which he has without mercy administered to
others, commended with all its bitter ingredients to
his own lips. There is not in any class of society
more falsehood and deception practiced than utnong
political editors. It becomes an essential part of
their profession, and he, who would, from conscien
tious motives, refuse to practice it, would fall far in
tho rear ground of his competitors.
But it is from the pen of correspondents, that the
richest articles which grace the columns of our po
litical journals flow. There are several classes of
these. One of them write long, prosy articles, for
the express purpose of proving that they are right,
and all who differ are sadly wrong. They usually
contrive to give them some novel caption which will
gain for them a perusal, and insert some falsehood or
misstatement which will provoke a reply. And thus
they become involved in a newspaper war, the no
blest field for the exercise of genius which fancy
cotild depict or ambition require. They take a de
cided pride in displaying a practical proof of the old
adage that,
“A man convinced against his will,
Is of the same opinion still.”
In fact, their arguments are so potent, and their rea
soning so conclusive, that they appear incapable of
being resisted. Hence they suppose themselves al
ways convincing, instead of being convinced; and
auimated by the thought, they go on, as they fondly
imagine, “conquering and to conquer,” until every
foe shall be overcome. They retire from the contest
with their brows crowned with undying bays, hav
ing reached the highest pinnacle of the temple of
Fame to which the most audacious scribbler conld
aspire.
Another class of correspondents nppear to be the
victims of a chronic passion which is beyond their
control, and as the most fit method of delivering
themselves of it, they vent it forth on the world
through the columns of newspapers. In the excited
state of their feelings, they strike like a man in the
dark, in every direction, their blows falling indis
criminately among friends and foes. Low slang, and j
vituperative abuse, are as high as their minds ever i
soar. Fortunately for society, their pieces exert very j
little influence, unless it be to excite a few, as weak ]
and simple as themselves.
There is another class of correspondents more j
humble in their objects and aims than either of the
classes which have been named. It is peculiarly;
their province to give the items of local news, nnd the ;
reports of political meetings ami speeches. Os course j
an impartial account is what you need never expect:
to see. TheßejK>rter himself has become a partisan ;
and he intends in every case to bring out his party 1
in brilliant victory. To do thK he dips his pen i
largely in the dyes of fancy, and gilds his statements j
with the glittering tints of the imagination, (lifted ,
with more than human vision, in every contest, he
beholds the enemy defeated, the commander slain,
his forces routed, and the loud p:can of victory re
verberating its swelling peals over the almost blood
less field. Absorbed by the magnified interest of
his subject, the graces of style are utterly neglected.
- “"be rules of Syntax and Prosody sink into insignifi
cance before the dignity of his theme, and are scorn
fully thrown aside as unnecessary fetters of his ge
nius. Amid his fervor he will often perpetrate sen
tences which would throw Dr. lilair into convulsions
and give Lindley Murray tits. Truth is a quality
which he never deems at all necessary to belong to
his statements. The facts of the case, however they
may be, must l>e bent and distorted to suit his pre
viously formed prejudices. And so complete is his
subjection to them, that he is in no case able to pub
sj.v.h a truth which may be opposed to him. From
the very nature of the case, his fame, or we should
say, notoriety, is entirely local in its character. But
when backed by the name of a “Squire,” these pieces
frequently excite a degree of attention which nei- *
ther the subject requires, or their merit deserves.
Such are a few, and only a few classes of political
literati, for their name is Legion. It would be bard 1
to find any class of men who, w ith the same amount
of labor, benefit society so little. They all scribble
away, ami labor diligently to promote their party,
actuated hy tho alluring, but deceptive hope, that by
promoting their party they will promote themselves.

MR, 0\ ERBY l\ Holism (OI NTY.
Messrs. Editor* —Last night and to-dav we have
had a grand time in the way of temperance. We
have emphatically had a temperance protracted meet
ing—a perfect revival. Col. Overby addressed a
large and attentive audience at the .Methodist church
last evening. To-day, at 10 o’clock, he addressed a
very large collection of the voters of Houston, Craw -
ford, Macon and Taylor counties with great effect;
in fact 1 never saw so many grown up men with
beard on their faces have red eyes at the same time
—not liquor-red eyes, but with great drops of tears
coursing down their checks. In the evening Mr.
Vinton, or the Mohawk Dutchman, enchained a large
audience for three hours, with some of the most
“side-splitting stories” I ever heard. Tho meeting,
Messrs. Editors, will tell loudly on the first Monday
in October. There is a groat reaction in polities—
the Americans and foreign party have exhausted
their stock of straw, out of which they have so suc
cessfully manufactured great scare crows, and the
sober voters are returning to their sober senses. In
this county there will be a large vote polled for Over
by, although some of our political demagogues would
persuade the people to the contrary. Let Overby’s
friends stand firm to him and the cause, and we will
surprise the natives yet. Americans and Democrats
are flocking to his standard daily.

TO THE TEMPERANCE MEN OF GEORGIA.
The friends of Overby, I am glad to sec, arc be
coming more and more determined to tight the good
fight through to victory. If the temperance men
will only rally at the polls, Overby will he second
best, and may be our next Governor.
That he is Sound on every question involving the
rights of the South, will not be questioned; and it
is all slang anddemagogueisin to talk about the crisis of
Know Nothingism, when our land is groaning under
the intolerable curse of Grogism. Humanity de
mands the united vote of the Prohibitionist* of
Georgia, and if they will yet determine to vote for |
Overby, he will he elected. Friends of humanity,!
corne to the rescue. Andrews’ defeat is a fixed fact
Let every Prohibitionist rote for Overby.—Overby
is gaining ground constantly—let us take courage.
Let us tote for the man of our choice.
What claims has Andrews upon your suffrage V
What claims has Johnson V Overby is the most ac
ceptable man, and let us rote for him, and elect him.
Have any one of you an objection to his election ?
No. Then let all of us Prohibitionists vote for him,
and this will elect him Governor of Georgia!

crop of Cotton already on its way to this market,
says the Savannah Journal & Courier. The pros

will open with a good stock on the market As yet
the transactions are nominal. The five bales of the
new crop, received a few days since, from up the
river, by Messrs. Cruger & Wade, were sold yester
day, one at 11 cents, and four at 11 5-8 cents.
JagCThe Perth Courier says: Mr. J. L. Niven,
gardener, Keir House, has succeeded in making pa

and has patented his invention under the title of
“Niven's patented hollyhock paper and rope.” The
paper is of the appearance and texture of that used
for small bags and parcels by grocers, etc., and is
very clean and firm. The rope is about half an inch
thick, light and shining in color, and apparently of
great strength.

Twenty-five years ago, the “Prophet” Joseph
Smith organized the Mormon t'hurch with six mem
hers. At the present time, the t'hurch in l lnli Ter
ritory contains three Presidents, seven apostles, two
thousand and twenty-six “seventies,"seven hundred
and fifteen high priests, nine hundred and ninety
four elders, five hundred and fourteen priests, four
hundred and seventy-one teachers, two hundred and
twenty-seven deacons, besides the usual ratio of pci
sons in training for the ministry not yet ordained, and
four hundred and eighty-nine missionaries abroad
During tlie six monthsending with tho beginning of
April last, nine hundred and sixty-five children were
born in the Territory of Utah, two hundred and se
venty-eight persons died, four hundred and seventy
nine were baptized in the Mormon faith, and eighty
six wore excommunicated from the Church.

the correspondent of the Charleston Standard says : j
“The large portion of this brandy purports to be the !
production of France; but it is well known that J
more liquor under the denomination ofFronch Bran
dy is consumed in this country than is actually pro
duced in that empire. \Vo are constantly sending
out immense quantities of old Corn Whisky, which,
after undergoing a chemical process, as regularly
conies back to us dressed in foreign guise.” It is a
truth that French Brandy hears a higher price in
Paris than in this country.
