Mr. Editor: Yqu will please an nounee my name as a candidate for RE-ELEC’TJOK to the office of Ordinary, at the election to be held on the first Moiuto>j in January next. THOMAS A WORD. Oct. 1, 1855 * A Parting Word. With the present number our connection with The Standard” terminates. It is usual on such occasions to write a long fare well. We shall do nothing, of the sort. — There is no possible good to be derived from such a course—either by the public—who usually pass such things over with a glance —o t the writer. When we took charge of the Standard we ware silly enough to believe that a polit ical paper could be edited so as to please everybody. We forgot the fable, cited by ASsop of •• the Old Man, the Boy and the Donkey.” Said old man and boy were joint proprietors of the donkey. All. three start ed one morning to market—the main object of the trip being to dispose of the long-eared animal. The old man led the donkey and the boy followed leisurely behind. They soon encountered one of the public : < What an old fool you are ! Why don't you mount up and ride ?” No sooner said than done— and now behold the old man on the donkey and the boy following on foot. Another one es the public evsrtook them : . What a pair of fools! Why don’t both of you get up and ride ? the donkey is well able to carry yeu.” Up jumps the boy behind his daddy and on jogged the trio. Along comes another one of the public, who overtakes them at a bridge : • • What a lazy pair of vagabonds ! Two on one donkey. Why, you are better ! able to carry him than he you!” Anything ■ to accommodate—down came father and son, determined to carry the quadruped. In their efforts to do so he fell into the water , and was drowned. Our efforts to please ev ery body were not so disastrous, but they were equally futile, and we soon gave it up in despair. Our experience has taught us that the proper and only way to conduct a newspaper is to'do right and risk the conse quences. During the political canvass, just ended, we have endeavored to act on this principle. It has been our fortune, however, to offend some of our former friends and patrons. Wo are sorry for it, and, while we neither desire nor intend to make apologies, we will say ip justice to ourself, that we have in no instance, intended to injure per ■enal feelings. Our war has been against • principles—not men,” and we have faith fully and honestly written what we thought and felt. We had a right to differ with our political opponents and to express our differ ences, plainly and candidly. The crisis de manded prompt and vigorous action—the Constitution of our country was in peril and it was the duty of every man to aid, to the utmost of his ability, to stop the avalanche of bigotry and fanaticism which threatened to destroy us. At no former period of our life did we ever feel so much interest in the result of a political contest, or that duty re quired us to act so decidedly and vigorously in defence of the principles of the party to which we were attached, and the glorious victory which has been achieved by the De mocracy leads us to hope that our efforts have not been vain. The Standard passes into the hand* of Messrs. Bennktt & Smith—both intelli gent and energetic young men and practical Printers. In their hands, it must and will prosper as it has done since its establish ment, nearly eight years ago Mr. Bcuuett has been connected with the office for butter than five years past, and the neftt appear ance of the paper and the reputation of the office for Job Work, has been mainly attrib utable to his good taste Mr. Smith is a comparative stranger in bur community, but we have every assurance that he brings to the task lie has li:dtrtakcn both will aud ABILITY. • With an earnest hope that the influence and usefulness of the Standard may re main uudiminished—that it may retain all its old and gain many new friends— that it may ..flourian like a green bay tree,”and that many year* of happinesa are &*iDre for its patropu, w* ay to them, one aud all, —farewell! .THUS. A. BURKK. Salutatory. To the Patterns and Friends of the Stand ard: • lo'jel/.!- In coming before yon in the conduct of one of tho organs'of tho National and State Dem ocratic party, wc are sensible, ex tent, of the great responsibility devolving upon us as tho mouth-piece-standing upon tho watch-tower of our common country, to advocate and Uofend the interests of the same, against the attacks of the enemy, and to j sound the aiarui at their approach ; and in ! doing this, we nro couscious that it bucomos ! our duty to bo * wide awake and duly aobor,” j to ascertain their position aud movements. We uro awaro that with the commence- | ment of our political career, has ended one j of the warmest and most perilous political j contests that the dauntless aonfl of Georgia j have ever witnessed. The Democratic party j has lpughf with that gulliintry which only was displayed upon the battle field, by the veterans and herons of the Revolution of 1776—Washington, Jefferson, Jaoksou, und a host of others whoso names will live until ttmo shall cease, und mark the result, the Democratic party has achieved a victory iu the •. Empire (State of thuSouth * which will bo handed down in triumph to generations yet unhorn, .xitqfi ■ : •■ultv i ■ And soon the contest is to be renewed.*- But the Democratic party have nothing to fear from the enemy, standing ae they do upon the platform of principles purchased j by the blood of their distinguished and pa- triotic predecessors, if they will but battle for and maintain those glorious and blood- j bought principles. Let the Democratic par- j ty rally their farces, and bdcklo omthe ar- j] rnour of warfare, and meet the enemy face to face, in open day-tight, and contend for j’ the rights of the States and for the rights off the South, and all those heaven-born prin- | ciples which constitute the platform of the great Democratic party, and the raiikji of the enemy will be broken, their castles storm ed and troops routed and put to.flight, and | victory more glorious than that of Bunker j Hill will perch upon our banner, and the > year 1860 will bring about such a result as the American pcoplo can only witness in the triumph of the Democratic party. It will be proper for us to state that Capt. Wm. T. Wofiord, who has been connected with this oflice for a number of years, will continue his services; and this, we think, is 1 a sufficient guarantee to the readers of the j u Standard,” that it will continue to defend and propagate the doctrines of the Demo emtio party in the way in which it has been done through former administrations. In conclusion we ask the continuance of that patronage which has been so liberally bestowed upou the former proprietor of this j | press; and wo pledge ourselves to use every j exertion within our power to make the j Standard a truly interesting Vade Me \ cum. . SAMUEL 11. SMITH, BEEJ. F BENNETT. To Campaign Subscribers. Persons who have subscribed to this paper during the campaign only, are informed that their term of subscription has expired, and if they wish the paper to be continued will please inform us, otherwise they will be dis continued. Grand Jury Presentments. For the benefit of those who were much excited from the election of last week, we republish, on the first page of this week's : paper, the Grand Jury Presentments of the first week of Cass Superior Court—and also on the third page the second waek’a, and, we trust, they will be calmly investigated. The Election. We have official and reported returns of the Governor’s election, from 101 out of the 112 counties in this State, which can be seen by reference to our electoral table in anoth er column. We think that there need be no apprehension of Johnson's election over j the other two candidates, by at least 2,500 votes majority. From the list of the Repre sentatives in our next Legislature, it will further be seen that front the 94 counties I reported, the Democratic and eati Know Nothing party sends 138 and the Know No thing organization 80 Representatives ; con sequently our next Legislature will be corn p#sed, by a respectable majority, of Demo crats. W® have no authentic returns of the election from the Congressional Dis tricts, but from report, 6 out of the 8 of our next Representatives in Congress, will be sent by the Democratic and Anti-Know No thing party. This speaks volumes for the Democracy of the Empire State 1 New York Politics. There are at this time, in the State of New York, four different political organiza tions, all having regular nominated tickets for the different officers to be chosen on the Gth of next November. First, there are the Hard Democrats, who, although they oppose Gen. Pierce’s admiuistlnticn, yet in princi ple they are the only organization in the State who take ground in favor of the Ne braska Kansas bill, and are willing to give to the South her constitutional rights. Se condly, the Soft. Democrats, composed of th® professed friend* of the administration ; yet they oppose its greatest measure, the acknowl edgement that tho people of the territories have a right to decide upon all matters touching their internal policy. Thirdly, there are the self-styled Republicans, whose ticket is compos’ed of one half Sewardites, and the other half Soft Democrats, combin ing the freesoil Whigs and soft Democrats, a fusion which we fear will carry the Slate. Fourthly and lastly, are the Know Noth ings, composed, of tho tail end of all parties, with not sufficient strength to command the respect of any political aspirant. Now, with which of these organization?, will the lute Know Nothing party of Georgia act in the Presidential race of next year ? This a dilli cult question now for politicians to solve, but we do know that if thdy oppose the Demo cratic party, it will bo at the expense of the dearest fights of the South. Presidential Speculations. The Washington correspondent of the Co- ‘ luiubia South (Jarotinian, has some specu lations concerning tho Buocc6sion : Mr, Buchanan’s movement via Havana and jYcw Orleans , to which you lately made some allusions, has been temporarily ! changed, and ho will probalj r®main in Lon don a while longer, a untimatcly return home through tho chnunel indicated, at a later, and perhaps, politically speaking, a more auspicious period—-nous verrons. Mr. George >l. Dallas, of Philadelphia, will also be brought forward in due time by hi? fritoyls. 110 is an elevated and a pure man, unJ one on whom the South should look with great favor. It was Dallas who boldly advised Pennsylvania, if a dissolution of the Union must take place, to declare in advance, that who would in that event, be found on the side of the South, j Douglas and hie friends mean from policy Ito hold back, opo or perhaps two terms. In regard to tke next Presidency, tho Douglas men intend to go for that candidate who will bo most likely to accept from thorn thoposi- j ! tion of Dougins’ predecessor. And whether i it be liunjter of Virginia, or Dallas of Penn sylvania, onn vary very little, as both are excellent men. 1 r : J Tho objection to Hunter aeems to bo that ho is a difficult and impracticable person ; uml last, but not least of all, is a Virginian Wise however, the ohivulrqus, the elo quent, untiring Wise, is far more likely to be favorab’y and enthusiastically received lor his genial and generous qualities, than tho taciturn ahd phlegmatic Hunter. Mr Buchanan's successor is not yet an nounced. from motives of prudence, nor will it bo LiU the latest moiueut, because the President has been assured by hia friends | that he will be renominated. Mr. Marcy, i too it is said is virtuously resolved to contin- ue to serve his country and to bear the bur den of the Presidency, if destiny or his coun try insist on it. As to the English Mission, cceta is panbui , it is thought that Mr! Greene Os the Boston Post is still the favorite of the Whit® House. Jefferson Davis is spoken of by the Dallas men for Vice President . Members- of the legislature. OFFICIAL. Baker: J G Sapp, Jesse Slocurnb. Baldwin: E D Brown, A 1 Butts.

Your friend, jfOO-N-YTOOT-LER, Dream Land, A Composition read at the Commencement of the Cassville Female College, by A MEMBER OF THE JtTMOR CLASS. Surrounded by a thousand beautiful crea tions which baffle the poet’i pen to describe or artist’s pencil to delineate—man still dreams half his existence awuy in the shad owy realms of fancy ; and, indeed, it is a lovely country, with its perennial bloom, its cloudless sunshine, and eternal spriDg-time. It is a region fairer than this, with waters of more crystal clearness, vallies and mead ows of mellower green, the songs of its birds of more ravishing sweetness, flowers of bright er hue and richer perfume, and skies of more etherial blue. Did you ever wander in Dreamland when a child ? How smooth and flowery were the paths you trod! Did they lead by the green hill-side—where the sunbeams lingered ? by the little rippling brook, that wound through tho still shadowy vale, or up the mountain cliff where the wild flowers hung ? An Eden paradis3 surrounded you and beau tiful visions delighted your eye. On the light green turf, when midnight drew her silvery veil over the sky, you watched the fairy bands as they danced to and fro, like shadows playing boneath the trees, and fol lowed their retreating forms as they vanish ed like the last shades of night before the blush of dawn. From a gloomy elevation half hid in the mists, the castle of Blue- Beard” looked frowningly upon you, the lit tle . Red Riding Iloocr* with muffled face, tripped lightly by, aud in the still, lone woods, far from the dwelling of man, <* the lost children,” ..their little feet tired with their long wanderings, laid themselves down to sleep, tho angels hovering over them whispering bright things in their dreams; at night the glittering stars shone out above like beacon lights guiding them to thoir hap py home far away beyond the skies, and the pale moon waned, the shadows of night dis solved, but sleep, a long, quiet sleep, sealed the eyelids of the lost oues ; and the little birds that hid in the tree tops, when the noise of gentle footsteps passed, gathered the green leaves and strewed them for a covering over tho lonely sleepers. Such are the visions of dreamland which childhood forms. Youth ranges beyond the enchanted re-, g'ons of the Genii, and the broad domains and towering castles of the giants. The mer ry laugh of the mocking satyr, aud the light footed fawn, dies away in the distance; and even the thunders of Jupiter and the divine strains of Orpheus are awhile forgotten, as Olympus anl Tempe lad® imperceptilly from view ; now in a sea shell chariot led by the sporting dolphins, you drive to the blue sea's depths and explore old ocean's caverns ; Neptune, surrounded by the monarelis of the deep himself mightiest of all, attends you to his palace home, reared of the costliest pearls and coral, and Try ton with sound of trumpet conducts you back again to solid earth ; amidst dim shades of night and gloom you pass by Pluto's drear abode, but oh ! how changed the landscape when from the realms where darkness sits Etysian fields (salute your eye; leading to these are the paths which saints have trod, and straight cst of thorn all the narrow one wiiteh Run yans pilgrim passed in journeying to the city ot Zion ; here was the wilderness thro’ which God led his people with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, while far ther beyond lies the promised laud, with its waving palms and vineyards, a land flow ing with milk and honey,” almost boundless in its extent; there is no spot hallowed by prophet's alter, or tomb, or where the fires of persecution, in later, times, have lit the funeral pUe of the martyr, but that some where in dreamland there is a monument to mark the spot,— wliilst towering pr-emi nently above them all ai-e the everlasting hills, which speak of great deeds past, which tell that God has been there. On that mountain, God had stood midst the thick clouds and rolling thunders, with the as cending smoke and flashing lightnings, and while the trumpet souuded louder aud lend er and the mountains shook and trembled., had spoken and sealed by Ilis commands, man's future judgment. And there are the mounts of Transfiguration and Calvary, un changed from what they were eighteen and a half centuries ago ; where still stands the cross with the bleeding sacrifice for man's redemption, Jesus the Saviour of the world ! You pause bofore that picture of divine love, aud gradually the light which shone about the crucified Redeemer steals through the prison windows of your soul, at first dimly making the darkness within more black and appalling, but slowly increasing in bright ness until your whole soul seems bathed in a flood of heavenly light, more glorious than the noonday suu. It is the new light which shone over the hills of Judea, that has visit ed the island of the deep aud spread unto the ends of tbeearth ! Behold iu dreamland the moral world as as it was. Follow it through its many | changes uuto the present time, and picture ! it ns it will be at some future day, when all i men shall bow before the same God, and j sing the praises of their common Saviour.— In that vast sweep of thougiitetnd fancy, oh . what a field is passed over! Wc may glance with .. bird's eye” view over the rise—the , progress and decline of nations—we may | study the lives of great meu that have been, ; but to mingle in the chaos of things forgot ! ten. rebuild th® fabric of society and recro ate in tSiibli mortal the feelings, the emotions, tlic hopes and fears which animated them. Here, is something more than etea fancy can do, and dreamland becomes limited iu its boundaries. And we have our bright anticipations, too, our dreams of the future painted Over with 1 rainbow hopes. But we are not tho samo beings in dreamland that we are in this enrth : our very pleasures are of a purer nature, and what would be among the plea sure seeking world a strange anou aly, vir j tuo, abounds, whilst all the desires ot the ! herrt are satisfied. There is a time to dream I of childhood's delights, of youthful joys and hopes, and of manhood s love, ambition and pursuits, but there is a time, at all times, from tho cradle to the grave, to dream of that better portion reserved for she just iu Heaven. That is tho Christian's brightest dream. It is a fountain of sweet waters, springing up aud watering his soul, amidst all the desert wastes of life, when cares op. press, when temptations assail, or afflictions sadden, let him look beyond this earthly prospect and in fancy behold tho heavenly ZiOi, with its walls of jasper, its gates of ipearl, and streets of shining gold; bowed : before the throne of the LambwiththcbT! * washed throng joining, in the hallelujah’ I praise which Constantly ascend, he sees h self redecmedland saved-no stain upon? spotless robe, the palm of victory !„ hand, and a crown of never fading „i on . ilS j circling hiß brow.

The Fall of Sebastopol. Itseemstobe agonoraity received f atk that thm ety has rea"y /alien into , ; hands of the Allied army, after a sL or eleven months. The foWng accoui f (s b that important event will be found Qu : t interesting : M e reinforcements of fr. sh , Dd “ bardment is fiercely violent ti of Sebastopol, after sustaining an infernal i fire > repulsed S!x but could no drive the enemy from the Kornilog £ afiti I • our brave tro °Fß> who resisted to the j last extremity, are now crossing over to h northern part of the city. The enemy J - | nothing in the southern portion but • | stained ruins.’ ’ } The following telegraphic despatch, re ceived by Lord Panmure from Gen. Simpson appeared in the English morning journals of the 11th ult: < Sebastopol is in the possession of the Al lies ; the enemy during the night of the BtR evacuated the south side, alter exploding their magi zincs and setting fire to the whole of the city. • All the men of war were burned during j the night, with the exception of three steam ers, which were plying about the harbors. ! The bridge communicating with the north side is broken.’ Gen. Pelissier writes to the French Gov ernment that . Karabelnai and the south part of Sebastopol no longer exist This immense success does the greatest honor to oar troops.’ A Russian paper, the Brussels Nurd, inti mates that it was not ns much of a i take’ as is generally believed. This paper says: • The Russian Army concentrated north of j Sebastopol will henceforth have that unity ! of movement and action which until now it J has wanted. The Sebastopol of tho South is replaced by the Sebastopol of the North—a formidable position, bristling with innumer able guns which a compact army will hence forward defend. • Impartial history will do justice to Prince Gortschakoff, who, by making amo ! mentary sacrifice, and avoiding Useless I effusion of blood, has preserved for Russia | an army trained to war by a struggle of & | year's duration, and placed that army im j position which enables him to command tho / situation.’ The London Times says : The struggle for the possession of Sebastopol is at au end - That prize is in our hauds, and as the defence of the fortress and the hurbu? was the grand object of the enemy, they have nothing left on that spot to conteud for. The mere occu pation of the nortii side of the port is a barren advantage, for though it might hold a garrison, it cannot shelter a defeated army ; and it is obvious that after the fail ure of the main object, all the ability and . generalship of the Russians will le rujuirid to save the whole of their forces in tin Crimea from destruction. We therefore infer that the norlhert forts will either be held for a time t v a lira j ited garrison, or more probably, altogether ( abandoned, in the hope of saving the army. Never was au army in a more critical [usi ! tion. They are confined within a peninsula : which affords them no other fortified post | tion, no susteuanoe lor the troops, and no | i water beyond a certain line. The sea, cot -1 ered with hostile vessels, surrounds throe 1 sides of the theatre of war, and the fourth is ! separated from the Russian base of opera tions by steppes and marslus.’ The Times suggests the celebration of a day of national thanksgiving on account if j the fall of Sebastopol. The news of the cap ture of that city was received iu London with demonstrations of great joy. At the various theatres and places of public amuse ment tho fact was officially announced, an: the bands at each place immediately played the national autbcuis of England and Frunoe. Hear what the New York Herald says ou this subject: The warmest friend of the Russian cause cannot deny to the Allies, and especially to the French, to such men ns Bosquet aud j their comrades, a tribute of applause turtle achievement we this day record. Tin 1 whole i world has derided their efforts, am! cheered on the gallant Yodlelvn and the men who fought lor their homes and their nrtive soil; natives as well as foreigners have urged the abandonment of the enterprize, ami attribu ted its commencement to overweening vanity and ignorance on the part of the allied chiefs; general after general has given it up iu des pair, and gone away to die or been recalled; over a hundred thousand good men, English aud French, have laid their heads under tho Crimea sod ; yet, in spite of all, Napo leon and his Allies have persevered, aud tho consequence is that Sebastopol exists no more. In a historical point of view tho ovont has no parallel. 4 There have been sieges where the valor of the besieged has availed to defend tho place for a longer period of time, but thcro never was one at which so much humau ob stinacy, or so much scientific skill w ers displayed; nor, on tho other hand, was tber ever au instance of so many human lives be ing sacrificed iu war within so small compass of ground. As long as this world lasts, Sebastopol, or the site where it stood, will be classic ground. • So far as the war is concerned, it n,ost not be supposes! that the fall of Sebastopol implies the submission of Russia and the es tablishment of peace. Far from it. 8o log asGronstadt defies the strongest fleet the ‘AUW> can equip, Russia, it may confidently be asserted, will bold out. Tho fall ot 8® bastopol does not even decide the late of t Crimea. It has dealt a fatal blow at Rus sian prestige; it has destroyed supremacy in the Black Sea ; it baa cos Czar more money than ten years o po ! can make up; but it 0o not Empire to tliat humiliating position in * 1 ’ as Cortiehakoff said at Viemui. it woul * •
