CASSVILLE, GEO.
Election.
An election was held at the various pre
cincts in this county, bn Saturday last, for
two Judges of the Inferior Court, to fill
the vacancies occasioned by the resigna
tion of Messrs. A C. Wyly and Thompson
Colbert All things went off quietly, and
there being no opposition ticket, the vote
was small. Messrs. E- V. Johnson, of
Kingston, and J. <?. Jones, near Carters-

259, and the other 219 votes.

j “The Prince of the House of David” has
had a sale unexceeded by any volume of
its size and character. In. that work the
effort was made to illustrate events in the i
land of Judea, by the letters of a Jewish
maiden. In this a young prince of Phe-
nicia is supposed to write from Egypt.—
The condition of the children of Israel,
and the wonders wrought by Moses, form
the staple of the work, and as much of
Egyptian history and description is intro
duced as are necessary to complete the
picture and give it fullness and unity.—
Mr. Ingraham has diligently consulted all
accessible authorities upon the antiquities
and customs of Egypt, and the volume is
the result of long and patient study. Ma

such a nature, and justice (o the writer

Lastly, it seems to me very plain, that
ifj after so much arming and warlike stir,
a new Congress of the five leading powers
can be brought about, French diplomacy
will assuredly reap its advantage, and the
French cabinet must know this.
All this seems to me so plain thal Na
poleon III. must see it; yet, who can
know, thc very mail which will bring you
this letter, may bring along the news that
the first blow has been struck. When
thousands of trains are laid, some little
match, of which neither cabinets, nor di
plomatists, neither generals nor publicists
have thought, may suddenly set tli* whole

play with fire ; it is far more dangerous
when rulers imitate children; an‘d there
is always great danger that the old Ger

its application in a state of things such as
wc behold in Europe at thc present junc
ture. The cord is drawing tighter and
tighter—it may snap.
This is my opinion, but I am too old to
believe in political prophecy. Probability
is all that a wise man ventures to decide
upon. Newspapers are full of predictions
