Senator Toombs, who has ^joluiiibii shouldered Douglas and all his political filth, squatter sovereignty and anything, we see by our exchanges, is stumping a portion of the State. This augurs no good for the future. For as certain as the issue is made, as strong as Mr. Toombs may deem himself, the people of Georgia, true to the spirit which governed their ances tors in the days of yore, will minister a rebuke to the author of squatter sovereign ty, and all those who may advocate his claims that will not be soon forgotten.— The only matter to be regretted is, that it will destroy, to some extent, that unity and harmony at the South which is a mat ter of so great moment in the coming con test. But we are sure we can spare, from the ranks of the true Southrons, what few Douglasites there may be, and then win the race by odds. We have more confi dence in the intelligence and patriotism of the honest yeomanry, than to believe that any great disaffection on the question of States and Southern Rights can be created in their ranks by any one. Let the press and all unite in denouncing any attempt to raise a schism on this Douglas, and all will yet be well So far,with few exceptions the press have fully defined their position against Douglas. We ask the others to place themselves aright, and let our lcad- ingmen pronounce their anathemas against this “ Little Giant of the West,” who has been a thorn in the side of Democracy for the last four years. The Territorial Issue. Much mental labor might have been saved if the parties in the contest, wheth er slavery could be constitutionally carried and retained in the Territories, independ ently of the action of their Legislatures or Congress, if only a few points had been kept”steadily in view. Of what value is learned disquisition, elaborate argument, or historical investigation to prove that Congress has exercised plenary jurisdic tion with regard to slavery in the Territo ries ; when that body has not only exer cised such jurisdiction at certain times, but forborne, if we may not say disclaim ed its exercise at other times? If, on pre cisely similar occasions, the National Legislature has pronounced negatively, as wcH as affirmatively, on the question—of what right, in the determination of the constitutional argument, is the opinion of Congress ? The question must recur, at ever}' new agitation of the subject—can the matter in dispute be brought within the purview of the courts, and the matter be decided finally by the judicial tribunals of the Confederacy ? If not, it must, as now, remain in abeyance, awaiting what ever may be determined by the action of each successive Congress. What has been the course and consis tency of this body in relation to the ad mission of the Territories as States, with in the last few years ? The act admitting California, left the question ostensibly o- pen to the admission of slavery. What was the next legislation ? On the admiss ion of Oregon, within one year afterwards, slavery was prohibited within its limits by the action of the same body, thus re versing the policy adopted with regard to California. The admission of the one with the ostensible pro-slavery act, was a bid for the South without any disclaimer upon the part of the North—the admission of the other with the proviso was a warning to the South of which she failed to avail herself. In the compromise measures of 1850, two separate amendments to the bill were rejected—the one in affirmance—the other in denialof the authority of Congress over slavery in the Territories—the bill passed, giving power to the people of a Teiritory to admit or exclude slavery, at their pleasure. In 1854 the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and in the same year the Kan- sas-Nebraska act was passed, recognizing y ew ‘- the principle of popular, or more familiar ly known as squatter sovereignty in the Territories. Thus has Congress fluctuated, re-enacting the Missouri Compromise as regards Texas, and refusing to do so in relation to California—now»reimposing it as to Oregon, then abdicating its authority in relation to the Territories by the Kan sas Nebraska aet This is the latest leg islation, and over which there has been such a war of words. In the construction of this ait, the Supr^ne Court has pro nounced as null andMpid, not only the prohibitory. part ofthat legislation, but substantially that part wlneh was sire oh the part of Congress, delegating to the Territories the plenary powers which it lpp itseUj in other instances, exercised Close of the Canvass. Before another issue of our paper ap pears, the voters of Georgia will decide who shall be their next Governor. We predict they will select Hon. J. E. Brown, present incumbent, by at least twelve thousand majority. There is no just rea son why he should be thrown overboard, to make room for one inexperienced in the duties pertaining to that station. He has been tried and found worthy and well qualified, and wo believe the voters of Geor gia will say the same thing by their votes at the polls on Monday next. The charges brought against Governor Brown by the Opposition party do not a- mount to anything—in proof of this, Col. Akin and Hon. B. H. Hill have both de clared publicly that if Gov. Brown would step off of the Democratic platform, and run as an independent candidate, they would support him 1 We hope this declar ation, on the part of these gentlemen, will not be forgotten ; think you, Democrats, that if Gov. Brown was the man the Op position party represent him to be, Messrs. Hill or Akin would have made such an admission ? Our County Ticket The independent candidates in this coun ty for the Legislature are all worthy men, and are well qualified for the position they arc endeavoring to obtain, yet we think it is our duty, as Democrats, to support our nominees. They received the nomination valuable fishing privileges. Blit unfbrtu- nately for Jolin Bull, it has precisely lor tlic same reasons a like value in llie eyes of Brother Jonathan. The whole group lies almost in sight of Washington Teiri- torv, and between her western Boundary and .Vancouver. The Island in dispute is especially well adapted for a military post which is required for the protection of our people from the 'hordes of northern sava ges who have frequently attacked the set tlements in the Sound, and of whom they arc in constant dread. Of course the land, minerals and fisheries arc as valuable to our people as to those of Great Britain. The Treaty of which we have made men tion fixes the Boundary on the 43th para- lel of North latitude, which in the lan guage ol' that instrument, is to he follow ed '• to the middle of the channel which separates the Continent from Vancouver island, and thence Southerly through the middle of the channel and the Fuca Strait to the Pacific ocean.” At the time of ma king this treaty only that channel could have been intended which was directly on the eastern shore of Vancouver, and that channel alone will answer for the bounda ry line according to the words of the des cription. In the first place then it will be remembered that the possession of 5 an- eouver was the most important object of dispute and concession. By running the 49tH parallel to the Pacific, a very large portion of that Island would have become the property of the United States. The whole of it, however, was granted to Eng land by stopping the boundary line in “ the middle of the channel which sepa rates the Continent from Vancouver.”— This channel will he found in the Gulf of Georgia.

Douglas admits your right to protection, hut denies its exercise, lie throws open the Territories and invites you to enter, whilst he bids Squatter Sov ereignty dig a pit for your destruction.— Give me an open enemy rather than a treacherous friend. I need not now tell you that I will not support Mr. Douglas or any one occupy ing his platform, although nominated by the unanimous vote of the Charleston Convention, of the Democratic party, or any other parti 7 whatever. I love the Democratic pafljtTor ite principles. I will not abandon those principles for policy.— I prefer the right, even with defeat, to the expedient with success. I prefer the truth to triumph. I love the Union of the Con stitution—a Union of equal, independent Judge Iverson and hi* Opponents. Borne has more than one Caesar, is a proverb of the opponents eff Judge Iverson to his re-election to the Senate. And- that Brutus or Cassius may be advanced Cae sar must be slain. The beauty of the op eration of such a principle may have been eulogized even by virtuous men in those days, when distinction was less the re ward of merit than success in canning chicanery and military diplomacy, but in these republican times it is deplored as the off-spring of individual preference, wrong in theory, wrong in practice, and destruc tive of that harmony and unity of senti ment which should characterize a great and living party. As far as our observa tion extends, no press favoring the claims of the Hon. Alfred Iverson to a re-eSetion to the seat he now adorns, has uttered a word of disparagement towards those gen tlemen, who may aspire to be his succes sor. They have observed a rigid deco rum towards his opponents worthy the dignitv of a free press and the cause of a righteous democracy. Governor John son, Judge McDonald and others are alluded to in becoming terms, as men entitled to the proud distinction they en joy as leaders in the democrratic fold. No editorial or communication has been seen, where their opinions upon questions of public policy have undergone a rigid scrutiny ; no attempts have been made to prejudice the democracy against them.— Were the Times to arraign Gov. Johnson’s administration* criticise his official acts with the pen of jealousy, parade his sen timents upon the slave trade, protection to slave property, &c., with an eye solely to weaken his strength with the party, where is the press that would not rail at us for the impolicity of our course and mode of warfare ? Yet such is the task many of our democratic cotertiporarics have to per form toward Judge Iverson. They think it necessary to the elevation of their favor ites to the office of Senator, that Judge Iverson should be first slain as a Lion in their path.

Judge Iverson’s position is known to his party. We urge no one to disparage the claims of his competitors. His eleva tion to the Senate rests upon the regard and sympathy which States Rights men have for his sentiments. He arrogates to himself no superiority in statesmanship or political renown over those who inay op pose him.

The United States Treasury stands a good chance of again having on band a large surplus. A Washington dispatch to the N. Y. Times says: According to official data, the importa tions for the present fiscal year will great ly exceed those of the year 1857, and will reach in amount at least §390,000,000, which at the average duty of 16 per cent, will yield revenue of §62,400,000, or $6,- 400,000 more than was estimated for by Secretary Cobh in his last annual report to Congress. It is an interesting fact that while the government receipts thus exceed the Secretary’s estimates, the pub lic expenditures arc falling considerably below his figures. The result of this dou ble operation will he the receipt of a suf ficient revenue not only to meet the cur rent wants of the government without any further loan or reissue of Treasury notes* but the speedy accumulation of a surplus to be again applied to the redemption of the public debt. Never before, since the foundation of our government, have the recuperative powers of the federal exche quer been so forcibly exhibited. The dispatch adds that the receipts for 1859-60 are estimated at §77,072,475, and the expenditures at §63,321,415, thus leaving a surplus of §13,751,059. After deducting from this surplus the six mil lions required to be retained in the Trea sury for mint purposes, there still re mains a balance of §7,751,059 to be ap plied to the redemption of outstanding Treasury notes, a sum much larger than the whole amount of notes reissuable on the 30th June last, and it is a fact well as certained, that no notes redeemed subse quent to that date will be reissued at the Treasury. air}, an q on y m . ... j the channel de Hero, then, all that was | B r jtj s h naval officers there were so strucl keep the par y proper v g: | desired by England is obtained, hut if the j w ; t h t h e originality displayed in her, that J mons, Howard Spencer approached from us all to stan y • ' channel ot Osario Straits, which arc on the , a i once reported to the Admiralty j the rear and shot the Sergeant, inflicting East of these islands, is taken, not only j j, 0 w “a comparatively small ship [corvette,] ; a wound which caused his death on the the whole of Vancouver would be given | jjad been equipped by the Americans, ca-j 12th inst The Mormons surrounded to England, hut also all this group.

It left Salt Lake City on the 20th of June. Maj. Eastman and Lieut. El- wood, of the 7th infantry; Lieut. Carroll, of the 10th Infantry, and Lieut. Tyler, of the 2d Dragoons, came in with the train. Accompanying the train are also 15 of the children who escaped the terrible mas sacre at Mountain Meadows, in Ulan, some two years since. The particulars of that unparalleled outrage, perpetrated by Mor mons under the guise of Indians, startled our whole country when the intelligence reached the States. Wc have not the de tails before us, but if wc remember aright a company numbering 145 persons start ed from the State of Arkansas, in the spring of 1857, for California. They were supplied with an excellent outfit—wagons mules and an ample stock of provisions, &e. They got along well enough until they reached what is known as the “Moun tain Meadows,” in the south western part of the Territory of Utah. Here whilst en camped they were surrounded by a party, the larger portion of whom were Mormons disguised us Indians—the balance Indians and the whole party brutally butcher ed, except seventeen children, who were taken possession of by the Indians. The object of the assailants was evidently plunder. Early last spring through the vigilance of Dr. Forney, the Indian agent for Utah, the children were all obtained and proper ly cared for. Although most of them are very young, they were enabled to detail with considerable intelligence nearly all the particulars of the terrible massacre they had witnessed. The government has furnished the chil dren with transportation to Fort Leaven worth, and male and female attendants.— We saw the children at the Fort yesterday morning when they arrived—ten girls and five hoys. The oldest little girl did not appear to he over ten years of age, and the majority are much younger. All were comfortably clothed—in good health and fine spirits. We saw a little rosy cheek ed girl, not over, we should think, four years of age, whose right arm was entire ly helpless. At the time of the massacre the child was in its mother’s arms, and the bullet that sent its protector to an un timely grave, passed through the little one’s right arm, just below the elbow. We saw the scars made by the bullet, hut received only a smile from the little girl, when we inquired if she could use her hand.

The track of the ring will be made of India rubber matting, the same as is used in the London thea tres when circus performances are given on the stage; and the gymnastic tackle, the tight and slack rope fixing, and the trapez aparatus, are to be attached to the rigging of the ship. As the Great Eastern is likely to bring out some eight or ten thousand passengers on her first trip, the circus will stand a chance of drawing good “houses”'on board every day of the passage. Great Drought-Suffering in Vermont. The Connecticut river is now lower than ever known before. It is two feet lower than at any time during the last twenty years, owing to the protracted drought in Vermont and northern New Hampshire. The large steamboats run ning between Hartford and New York find it impossible to get from Middletown to this city, and they will stop at Middle- town, and send up passengers and freight by the smaller steamers until high water. The drought is unprecedented at the North—worse than it is here. In some of the towns in western Vermont, we are told, the farmers (in default of grass) have fed out all their hay, and for some time past they have cut down trees in the for est for their cows to browse upon. A gen tleman who saw this, gives assurance that it is a fact. Good cows were freely offer ed at §10 a head. Hereabouts the potatoes arc suffering from drought, and the yield will be less than was anticipated. The price is 63 to 67 cents per bushel in Hartford.—Hart ford Times. Giving it Dp. The following, from the Savannah Re publican, a leading Opposition journal in this State, shows what is thought of the charge brought against Gov. Brown by the Rome Courier, among its own politi cal sympathisers: “ Vic said that we should do Governor Brown no injustice: and in proof of our intention, wc here take occasion to say that the specific and independent charge alleged by the Rome Courier, to the effect that Gov. Brown “had informed the Banks of the State of a plan by which they could evade the law, in making their returns, which plan was that the officers should make out their returns one day and then do no hanking business until the next day after they had sworn to their statement” is not substantiated in the published letter. If it be true—and wc hope the editor has been misinformed—he will have to look elsewhere for its proof. Thus much we feel in duty bound to say, and we say it cheerfully.” Reverence for the Bible. Casting away the fear of being account ed superstitious, cultivate the habit of looking at the Bible with respect and rev- ercr.ce. Open it with a kind of solemn pleasure; for God is there, in all his great ness and holiness, and love. Read it with thankfulness—for it is a grant to you un der the hand of God, and it is sealed to you by the blood of Christ; and the grant secures to you, if you be an humble be liever, forgiveness, and sanctification, and victory, and heaven. It secures to you all things, for “you are Christ's and Christ’s is God’s.” When good old Bish op L5timer was led to the stake, he took the Bible with him. He clung to it with holy affection. It had pointed out to him a savior ; it had taught him how to live with comfort; it was now to teach him how to die in triumph. There is scarce ly a page in the Bible which does not show more of God than all the wonders ol creation. Col. Akin at Augusta.—Col. Warren Akin made a great many charges against I Gov.
