Senator Brown, of Mississippi.
It is said that this distinguished gentle
man, whose zeal for the cause of Southern
rights, knows no abatement, has declared
his purpose to take no part in the present
Presidential contest. After reading the
letters of acceptance of Messrs. Douglas
ami Breckinridge, he declared there was
no difference in their position in regard to
the protection of slavery in the Territories.
It is well known that Mr. Brown, in the
early part of last session of Congress, in
troduced a bill into the Senate for the pro-
tection'of Slavery in t!i^Territories. lie
endeavored to have his bill passed, but he
could only get about three votes in its fa
vor. Mr. Breckinridge in his letter of ac
ceptance says i*—“ The friends of consti
tutional equality do not and never did de
mand a 1 Congressional slave code’ nor any
other code in reference to slavery in the
Territories.” Senator Brown being in fa-
yor of such a code, is not, therefore, accor

“ Occasional,” the Washington corres
pondent of Forney’s Press, who for years
past has been the constant and graceful
eulogist of Mr. Breckinridge, now makes
the following revelations:
Prior to the secession demonstration at

the strongest light, and we have reason to
believe, convinced many that were in
doubt, and reclaimed many backsliders.
If he makes speeches elswhere; or if others
present Senator Douglas’ claims with e-
qual earnestness and power, the tide of
public opinion will be changed very mate
rially. The Disunionists about here are
already trembling in the knees, from the
effects of his well-directed blows.
Cotton Killed by Heated Air.
We learn that during the gale on Thurs
day last, Judge Paae’s plantation was vis
ited by a heated air, known in tropical cli
mates as “Simoon” which is often destruc
tive to animal as well as vegetable life.
The passage was confined to a scope of a-
bout one hundred yards in width, kill
ing the cotton on prominent points where
it touched the ground. The cotton pre
sents the appearance .of having been
scorched with fire, the leaves being per
fectly dry in 30 minuets after the storm.—
This is rather a singular phenomena for
this latitude, and doubtless is the first in
stance on record, of a Simoon wind pass
ing through Middle Georgia. We have
heard of several plantations where cotton
was killed in the same storm. -Covington

The truth is, he never dreamed of being
made a tool by his embittered enemy, Jas.
Buchanan, until certain men closed around
him and put the cup to his lips, and com -
pelled him to conceal the nauseous dose.
They had arranged the plan of disunion
long before, hut he was ignorant of it. I
have no doubt that in his own heart he
deeply deplores the position he reluctant

Exciting Contest for the Governor

torial canvass in North Carolina does not
want for stronger excitements than is us
ually characteristic of such contests. On
the 2d inst., while the candidates were
speaking at Hendersonville, a personal
difficulty occurred between them. Gov.
Ellis struck at his opponent, Mr. Pool, and
a fine fight would have been extemporized
for the benefit of gaping “ sovereigns,”
but fir the timely interposition of some
gentlemen on the stand. The affair had
its origin in the fact that Mr. Pool asked
his hearers in his speech if they should
hear any person say that he was in .favor
of taxing tin cups, to pronounce it a lie—
an infamous lie. His opponent had not
said so, though his argument was to that
effect; but he had heard that it had been
said, and he wished them to stamp it for
him, and in his name, as a lie. Gov. El
lis took exception to this, hence the diffi-
