N WOFFORD, BENNETT & SMITH, EDITORS. CASSVILLE, GEO. THURSDAY MORNING: OCTOBER 18, 1855. Cassvill© District.—" o haTO oeen requested to state that the Democracy of this Militia Disti ict will meet in the Court House, on Saturday, the 27th inst., to ap point three delegates to the county conven tion, to bo held on the first Tuesday in No vember. Our Outside—Baptist Minutes. Some of our readers will, no doubt, think that we are rather hard • put to it,” that we have to place matter of such a nature before them for their investigation this week, especially when there is so much news afloat better adapted to their taste. While, on the other hand, others, no doubt, will take pleasure in giving them a perusal.— We hope, however, that no one will become displeased, but on the contrary they will give them a reading, and, perhaps thVy will find out something they did not know before. Necessity compels us to pursue this course, as the Minutes were on hand when we pur chased the office, and as our force is weak wc thought propor to despatch them first, so ns to give us a chance to proceed with our paper. And we think it. not omiss for our readers to disgorge their minds of the po litical bile which has accumlated to such an extent as to give them a distaste to every tiling of a literary and religious nature, and again place their thoughts in the channel, out of which thev were decoyed at the com mencement of the past political campaign. Our County Convention- In another column we publish the proceed ings of a meeting held in and for the Carters vilie district, appointing delegates to a con vention of the Democratic party of Cass, to j ba Held in this place on the first Tuesday in November next, to select candidates for sheriff - , clerks of the Superior and Inferior courts, ordinary, tax receiver and collector. We hope that every district in the county will bo fully represented, so that wo can i havo the favorite men of our party selected as candidates for our county officers. And then wo will be prepared to give the Kuow Nothings a wholesome defeat in the January elections. The Result. We fub'iisli to-day a full, and as we think a correct account of Election Returns. The matter now stands: Johnson, about 54.023; j Andrews, 42,548; Overby, 6,198. Whole, vote polled, 102,769 ; Johnson’s majority over Andrews, 11,475; Johnson's mnj. over \ both, 5,277. In the Legislature—Senate, 75 Democrats; j 36 Know Nothings —House of Representa tives, 90 Democrats; 66 Know Nothings. Total, 171 Democrats; 92 Know Nothings. Democratic majority, 79. This statement we think will ba found tolerably correct. ♦ Rossiter’s Paintings. By reference to our advertising columns j it will be seen that our citizens will have an ! opportunity of soeing these fine painlings this evening, at the Court House. Such paintings as these are represented to be, can't be seen at any time in Cassville, and those wishing to >. take a peep’’ had better do so i while they have the chance. <i These Paintings realize the long-sought idea-of ages—that is, the production, by means ot light and shade, and color, upon a flat, surfitoe, of the rotundity of statuary ; and of the complete success of the effort there wHI be no doubt in the minds of those who view this chaste and moral entainment. • The Rev. Mr. Lejjau, of Marietta, Ga , who was a Missionary nine years in Jerusa lem and Palestine, says that Itossiter’s Pain tings of the Captive Israelites give a correct representation of Jewish character and dross; also of the gorgeous Oriental Twilight and scenery of that country. << The Paintings look like scenes of reality.” .i s'soo will be given to any visitor to this Exhibition, who will give the Agent infor mation of any Paintings in this country that will equal these.” A Freesoil Editor in Alabama. The last Athens Herald comes to us with | copious extracts from the Concord (New Hampshire) Tribune, formerly edited by C. L. Wheler, who is now the editor of the American Democrat, published at Florence, in this State, proving incontest'bly that the aforesaid Wheler was, during the last Pres idential canvasi, a rampant freesoiler and abolitionist. That he should have imposed himsolf upon the American parly of North Alabama, as a sound man ou the slavery question, we regret exceedingly. Let him be sent forth,’ instnnter P* We know something of this Wheler lie came to Goorgia eight or ten years ago, and tried to paliu himself off ou the people as a literary character. He commenced a month ly magazine in Athens, but not finding it as profitable as he nnticipntcd, he left one night, without settling his bills. Ho work ed a few weeks, afterwards in this office, and then loft for parts uuknown We next heard of him ns the oditor of an abolition Scott paper in Concord, New Hampshire, (his native town.) He next tamed up as editor and part proprietor of the Greenbrier (Virginia) Kra, a Know Nothing sheet, with which paper he was connected until after the Virginia elections. Siroo then we have hoard nothing of him until we read the above in the Montgomery (Alabama) Mail. Let our Alabama friends treat him to a coat of tar and foathors. Hon. William H. Stiles. .Below we give a communication from the Federal Uniofi, in relation to the above named gentleman, in connection with the Speakership of the House of Representatives of the next Leg : slature. We endorse all that the writer has said in relation to the talent, and parliamentary skill of the Hon. Wm. 11. Stiles, anil feel confident that the Democracy of the House will honor him with the Speaker’s chair ; • Now that the Democracy have ncliieved a glorious victory, the responsibility rests upon them to shape the Legislature of the State with wisdom and prudence. Moment ous questions, affecting the most vital inter ests of the people, will be up before the Leg islature for action. Amongst others, our Federal relations, the State Road and the Supreme Court, are prominent. • Prompt, skillful and experienced presid ing officers are essential to prudent and ju dicious legislation. It was the privilege of the writer to sit one session under the ad ministration of Speaker Jenkms, and al though differing from that gentleman politi cally, I cheerfully bear testimony to the salutary influence, which his efficiency as a presiding officer exerted upon the business of the session. In glancing over the mem bers elect to the legislature, a number of names present themeelvos, from whom an excellent presiding officer may be selected in the Senate. In the House, one name is seen, pre eminent in qualifications for the Speakership It is that of Hon. Win. H. Stiles. This gentleman’s tact and talent and great expereince in deliberative bodies, present strong claims of the post. Ilis fa miliarity with Parliamentary Law must be j conceded, and on all these accounts, in addi- j tion to his personal worth, this narno is res- j pectfully submitted to our friends, without j the slightest intentionto disparage the claims j pf any other gentleman Middle GEonurA.” Served him right. A young gentleman, yclept Alonzo Griffin, i having expressed sentiments hostile to ..the j peculiar institution,” and given various in- | dications more congenial to the atmosphere of Massachusetts than Georgia, was ordered out of the city on Friday last, and was es- j cortod to the cars on Saturday, by a large 1 company of our citizens. In consequence of j his youth and weak head, no violent mea sures were resorted to, the people only de manding that he should make tracks North ward. We are informed that he stated there ! were twenty others of the same sort in Ma con, and if the statement be true, we hope ; it wiN not be long before they are all dram- | med out to the tunc of the Rogues March. Griffin is represented to be a crack brained | creature, aDd the proper asylum for all j such lunaticß is north of Mason and Dixon’s I line. —Macon Telegraph. Well done Macon—one propitious step ta- 1 ken in Georgia, towards driving these north - ; ern abolition rascallior.s, who infest our! towns and cities for the purpose of concoct ing ways and means to decoy off our slaves, ; —from our State. Tieat the next intru der upon i.the peculiar institution” of the South, as the people of Georgia did in the days of yore—with a suit of tar and feath ers and a genteel ride upon a rail, and they j will stay at home. We see from a paragraph in the Rome Southerner of last week’, that a lady, who is a great friend to the Democratic princi- I : pies, and proves it by her deeds, sent the | editor two mammoth sweet potatoes, one of j ] which she named Johnson and the other ■ Lumpkin But unfortunately some gent, gathered the spoils and left the editor to re- j turn thanks, before he could get the ditneu- ; sions. Our friend, the editor, should be | particular in taking care of such things, as articles bearing such an imprint are in de mand. Splendid Premiums for Wheat.

The premiums will be awarded and deriv ed at Etowah Geo., on the first Tuesday in October iB6O. M. A. COOPER. October 11, 1856, Response to Georgia. Wo havo but a few words to express our joy, says tho Savannah Georgian, at the noblo rosponse which the Key Stone State has made to the Empire State of the South. It is another link m the chain which, wo trust, will ever continue to bind thorn in indissoluble bonds together. Nearly the same issuos were mode there ns here, and though if possible contending against a more unscrupulous enemy, the Democracy has signally triumphed. Pennsylvania, and. a bovo all, tho oity in which its dark plans were conceived, has repudiated Know Noth ingism, repudiated Federalism, and most sig nally rebuked tho mad fanaticism kindled by Abolition incendiaries in her midst.

S j Dear C. — I am again at your service, after much wandering to and fro, of which I will hastily j report. As I, in my last, stated, I left Co s iumbus, but took a different route from the j I one I wrote you. I went down to Houston, j and at Galveston, with my n exterior orna- j j tnents,” fifty cigars and a six-shooter all i ! secured in my trunk. I joined the crowd of j J passengers, got to sea. took a lemonade with j an stick in it, ’ went on deck, admired the ! glorious prospekt, felt an inward, moving’ sensation as if the lemonade was imitating ‘ ‘ the sea, thought I had smoked too much, j I d °wn again, keeping fast by the rail, I j and took a <i stick” without the lemonade, t | Concluded on taking to one of the cabin sofas, met a woman going on both sides, tried j to pass on the other, but collision became I inevitable, let go to fend off” and slid 1 head on to the table; apologised and climbed j to a seat, while the woman staggered into a state room. Stewardess laughed and wait- ! ers grinned; determined to whip them all i ! next day. Bent to state room No. 19; man ‘■ in lower room vomiting, middle berth man turned in with boots and hat on, looked nt ! upper berth and concluded it would be too j ! much trouble to get there, sent waiter for a I glass of ice- water, did’nt like the taste of it and bribed him to bring me some barley juice, (only cure for sea-sickness!) laid down I on the sofa and made up my mind that this i | was a very poor world—not worth living in. ! j and that I did not care a copper if it did j burst up. Slept and dreamed of being tied j to a Lancaster gun at Sebastopol that shock- i | ed me every fire like the pitching of a wild Mustang. In thirty-six hours, as long as thirty-six days, arrived in port, Brazos Sa- I fciago, which, with its Drown sand and wrecked buildings, is a deserted sort of a j village, in imminent danger from any undue ; j uplifting of Hie waves surrounding it. The j j lighters came and passengers started for j Point Isabel—one dollar fare—stopped at | the Hotel del North, breakfast, one dollar— j boiled eggs, stale bread, black coffee and strong butter A carryall, called a stage : hove in sight, secured passage for twenty ; seven miles to Brownsville at four dollars ; ; was told it- would take all day to get there, i felt hungry and lought come provisions.—a ; suspicious looking pie, two bits ; a bottle of j claret, (sour) two bits; a chunk of cheese, two bits, and a loaf for a single bit. Crowd ed into the carryall, Mexican woman and baby, and Irish woman and baby on back j seat, Mexican man on middle seat, got in { beside him. Then came two women and one | child, and two men beside the driver. Jam- I med all around with clothes in extenso, j space for knees very limited, corns trod up- ‘ I on, weather very hot, babies began to cry, ! had some hard thoughts while the wagon ; jolted, and tried to pinch fat woman to get ! her to give me more room, but didn’t suo | coed. Evening came, roads muddy, big i musquitoes in millions which bit ferociously through shirt and stockings, women banged ; and babies squalled—awful times! Finpl lv, got to Brownsville, legs cramped, and face and hands spotted with blood and mus- i quito bites. My companions, Doct. F. F. j and Jim, proposed a walk, went down street to explore the city and view the surburban beauties. The jacals of the greaser popu lation attracted our attention, if not our admiration. They are built of reeds and j mud of no particular style of architecture. The entrances are often adorned with living | statues of copper-colored Cupids or Senori- j tas squalling or lounging on the ground The Doctor bowed to an old lady in an un washed face, which she returned with grace ful acknowledgements F. F. touched his hat to a round Senorita, and told her that with the river so convenient, an ablution I once a year would improve her looks. She ( not understanding English) received his words and atniles as a compliment to her dusky bust, and smiled in return, but 1 cannot translate Utr graciou* reply. I would , ; not say that anything in nnturo is ugly, | much less any of the gentler sex, but one of those weird greaser damss, with oak-bark skins, of red mud complexion and horse tail ! hair is not beautiful, and in this opinion 1 am joined by the Doctor. Another feature ; of Brownsville is the barre/oros —a set ol j half-nude fellows—who drag bnrrels of wa ter from the river which they take to any part of the place for five cents each. An | iron pin fsstenod on the centre of each serves j for an axle, and with rope traces, tho barrel | roll* along after the greaser. The town | has numerous shade trees, narrow streets I and generally low houses. Waterme'ons | constitute the chief production of the soil, | and the principal branch of manufacturing industry is the mechanism of cigarettes (<m garitos.) A portion of the mercantile trade is in tho hands of Daegos—a class of mer chants of unknown origin and largely en dowed with money-making propensities,,— Soundal says their weight is fourteen oz. to tho pound, and their measure thirty-four inches to tho yard. Tho l)aego wears no coat, lives peuuriously and skins every body ou every opportuned occasion. Parrots that have mastered tho Mexioan lingo are com mon. Two of them aroused Jim’ympathy, and he was about bursting into a house to prevent unnecessary cruelty to children when be found that the cries which pierced his heart were the efforts of two parrots which eyed him knowingly from their perch on an awning post. Fillibusterism has made Don i Mexicans quito crusty, and to cross the rir jer we had each to pay two dollars for a j passport, giving us the privilege of visiting 1 Matamoras for one month. But we went at I tho following rates: pass, two dollars, ferry ; age, half a bit, ride to town in a rickety carriage, one bit; lemonade, half bit; bad j brandy, ditto ; cigars, do ; pass to j come back, one bit; ride and ferry, the same —all very cheap, Mexican guard at the ! ferry, look half Chinese, half negro, and ve ,ry dirty in appearance. Matamoras, main plaza is very pretty. Church bells rang, ; and it being Sunday, a procession of officers and citizens marched to the church. The i Mexican officers were extensively ornamen- 1 i ted with gold lace. Women were going to I church in crowds and in pairs Damask ! silks and satins of gay colors rustled along ; j the mantilla or scarf of black or some plain j dark color, wrapping the heads of the wo | men. All wore shoes, and a few, stockings. We followed to church, a large building, unfinished, as usual. It is not politic to fin ish churches, the clergy want an object for collecting. Large altar, many candles lighted, afehes and roof very rough. Wo men squatting in rows on the brick floor, with their silks puffed out ala balloon, j looking, with their tinged complexion and j glossy dresses in the mingled candle and j sunlight, like a galaxy of faded magnificence. ! ■< Look !” exclaimed F. F. directing me to a j fair creature in a pale yellow silk just en j tering in company with a Senorita of darker ; complexion, (light rnd shade go together to : | present the contrast,) nls she not beauti- I ful ?” whispered F. F.; •< complexion clear as alabaster, features regular as ever sculp tor chiselled ! Now she kneels. Do you see that tiny foot in satin slipper?” She is ve- j ry beautiful, I replied, and now that many days have passed, I am still of the same opinion. The Doctor could look at nothing else, I, therefore, proposed a walk, and we wandered forth. A few brass guas at the artillery barracks attracted Jim's attention. I looked into a barrack room, saw two sol j diers (?) lying on benches sick, while one j humane fellow was puHing.eoft bricks under j : their beads for pillows. Came to the caval ! ry yard where there were about one hundred i | shrivelled mustang horses, passed on and! ’ met a portion of the u faded magnificence” | emerging from their miserable shanties. Got ! back to the plaza. Jim said he had been critically examining one of the brass guns when a soldier presented a musket at him and told him to tross, which he understood ! ! j to mean leave, and he complied with his re- ! quest without any delay. Went back to the j church at Jim's suggestion. We found F. j i F watching the departing congregation for | the lemon colored dress, and followed it with I his eyes while heart kept it company. But J more anon ! ***** * And now i in the hushed stillness of this night-hour ! niy heart follows wi_y eyes as they turn east j ward as devoutly as ever Moslem looked for j the morning dawu ill the great sast, and now ! it wanders amid the green xases of my boy- i j hood, now nestles with thee in thy new home, j and now roves to that bright ideal which : : thy p*n made real to my erraat thoughts ! and but halloc! my candle’s out!— ‘ Tiiine in nubibus, I’INCK. Interesting Incident. The following interesting incident occur red ou Monday, Ist of October, during the progress of the election, at La Fayette, Walk er county : The anti-Know Nothings in the Chestnut Flat District, met at their own precinct, and : cast their vote in the morning ol that day. ] The result of the vote was, sixty-seven anti- Know Nothings to one Know Nothing. The ! sixty-seven mounted their horses and rode ! j into LaFayette, double file. They were most i : heartily cheered by their friends as they ! ■ filed through town. The Ladies of that place immediately pre i pared a handsome Flag, which they publicly presented to them. Mrs. Amelia Caldwell, representing the Ladies, said: n In behalf of the anti-Know Nothing La dies of LaFayette, I here present the Freo J : Voters of Chestnut Flat District with this; Banner, the workmanship of their hands, j with this request: That you never disgrace it by voting for men who love darkness rather | ! than light, and who leave their homes in the , dead hour of the night to plot against their government; and that you will ever rally j under its folds when your country is in dan ger. Do as you have done to-day, and the Ladies of LaFayette will ever regard you as the lords of creation and tho guardians of j the fair.” To which D M Harris, an old line Whig, and a staunch anti-Know Nothing, replied, in behalf of the voters of the District: j<< Ladies ok LaFay ettk : With feeling* : 1 of deep gratitude, the Chestnut Flat delega- j tion receive this Banner from your hands. : We pledge ourselves, to a man, ever to rally j to this standard when our country is in dan- j i gor, from either foreign or domestic 100, be j they British, French, Spanish or Kuow Noth- [ j ings.

We will cherish it while wo live, aud hand it down ! i as a rich legacy to our posterity.” “Litorary.” Under this head we find tho following ‘ j comment in the New York Day Book, with j an occasional effusion of poetry—an extract j : from tho Carolina Times, taken from a l I Poem ontitled *Th*: Hireling and the ; j Slave,” written by a gentleman of Charles- j | ton.
