Messrs. Editors: The time approaches, fellow deiiib* grats; of Baldwin, wlxen you will be iilecji upon to meet in county con- j^ntion to appoint delegates to tire t democratic. State Convention to ^K.nojmmate a candidate for Govembri rWliile I do not presume, as one dem* locrat out of many others, (no doubt las much or more interested than I in , ilie determination of the count y ^.dem ocracy on this particular subject) to dictate the party’s aptjon and prefer ence, 1 claim; the privilege of a.lifes long democrat, who has -worked long in the harness, and never held a jkk litical office in the county, (or, indeed, any other in the gift of the democrats of Baldwin,) to make a few sugges tions in the true interest of every tax payer in this county, and especially of the city of Milledgeyille. The most prominent ' gentlemen, now before the democracy, for the nomination for Governor, are Maj. A. O. Bacon and Judge TT. J. Simmons, both citizens of Bibb county. Both are men capable, men of high charac ter, unspotted records and unswerv ing democracy. The writer believes, and will attempt tojshow, briefly, that it is not only the interest of the peo ple of Baldwin to support Maj, Ba con in the nominating convention, but in such action they would do a graceful act and express their grati tude for his earnest and successful ef forts in their behalf during the long service, so useful to his constituents and the people of his native State, in the Legislature. He has been bad ly treated in past nominating conven tions, when lie was clearly the choice of the democracy of this State. His ability, bis executive qualifications, his honesty and fidelity no man ques-. tions. He is a general favorite among the people, and gains new arid more extensive popularity every day. He unites the gentlest manners with the firmest principles. His facility arid eloquence in the extemporary exposi tion of his views—a facility and power so remarkable, that even in conversa tion his remarks appear to spread themselves out to the whole extent, of a subject, are qualifications, for which no amount of labor would have been too great a price for a statesman's am bition to pay, and bis systematic training for the bar followed Up by close practice in pleading, seem likely to perfect this gift and render if eQUlh to anv fncji- .ivrt-us+rkvr ••'itself mv Terms.—One dollar and fifty centB a year in adrance.

The minority of the committee, con sisting of Democrats, state facts to impeach the damaging witnesses and deny that there is any direct evidence to sustain the charges. It is stated the matter will be before, the House for several days.

Ibe, aunoyaii.ee Oi having a man opposite to you who holds his month open and makes a noise with tongue and teeth while We have heretofore referred in part to his bill for giving the Irish their own parliament. Mr* Gladstone spoke over three hours in explaining and en forcing its provisions. All the way through there was pothing inconsist ent with the integrity and safety of the empire. He boldly asserted that the Irish people had borne with ex emplary patience, sufferings of a most grievous character and asked if it could be supposed that such things could have been without leaving any trace or mark on the character of the people? He resisted the idea, ad vanced by the opponents of the bill, that the Irish would necessarily do wrong even if granted Home Rule and a Parliament, and that the adminis tration of the country would necessa rily be changed. He urged that the bill would give to the Irish- reasona ble satisfaction of their demands and denied that, in doing this, it would be harmfui to others or endanger the Empire. He ridiculed the fears which had been expressed, that in granting the .provislops, of the bill, the Irish wpnrq. nidk Q further demands. Hjy said .the tiiuAluid ;cdme when'it was neces^v for Parhauidnt tp "say g whether would make a bold ritteTrip^ to establish U systeui of Irish lawsffruJ. der ah Irish Legislature, or whethbi: they should struggle on ds .before, leaving England and , Scotland to' a famine of heedful legislation, and Ire 1 land to a continuance of social disease - and internal discord. Mr. Gladstone’s speech was received with loud and prolonged cheers; Strong and vehe ment speeches, were made in opposi tion .to the bill by Mr. Chamberlain, Mx-. Goschen and’pthers, but none, of tHehi had presented a bill to meet the ends of peace, and justice. The opponents of the Premier’s bill propose nothing to relieve the Irish and quiet their just discontent. They Beeiri to be imbued with the 1 spirit which actuated Indian 1 Caliphs and Persia# satrap, regarding the Irish as inferiors, inOabablo of self A goVerb-- merit, iftto whose hands it ‘worild; be dangerous to lritrust any measure of legislative n control.’ It is fortiiriarte for Ireland and England that this crisis occurs under Premiership of so great and wise a statesman as Mr. Glad-' stone. He has the intellect to com prehend the critical state of affairs and the necessity for action, and the wisdom to devise the wisest and most phi .anthropic measures of justice,, re lief and safety. We cannot make room for the documents and speeches connected with this great English and frioi question.

From the New York Sun. St. Louis, April 5.—“I went out to the Exposition races at New Orleans the other day with Jeff Davis,” said Col. Pat Donan recently. “The par ty, for whom I had adrnissiou tickets, included Mr. Payne, an old friend of Mr. Davis, and Col. Robert N. Ogden, popularly known as Bob Ogden, and one of the most brilliant men in Louis iana. Col. Ogden had been telling me Of Mr. Davis’ wonderful memory, and I had often heard of it from others, but when I met him I had a personal demonstration of it that more than, realized all, that had ever been said to me. He had never seen Yrie but once in my life, and that was nearly twenty-tbr^e“ years ago* whatb As, a boy with a face as smooth as» w ghFs, I w*A» comiaissibried in Rich mond • to in the mountairiSj he. recalled my faee ipetajitly. • ‘ The ex-Pre6ident of the SriAtiierp Gorifederacv is rippai'efdlyyin nutch better health now.than he >^as th^n, and looks little Older.'* He walks with a Arm 9tep, arid carries himself with military ereetness. I told) him he seemed stronger* than whep I * had scan him all those years ago ? and . he said I was right; his Irealtii .iS better, and time has, all things .considered, touched him lightly. Speaking of my living 1 in- Dakota, he. gave me many interestlrig r^riiiniscences of the time he was stationed m; tliQ^e ; then unknown and :( shvhge wildernesses, as an officii itf 'the United States army; 51 yeartf agd; ’ Then'there was not a white Settlement north or south „ , gress.

There is nothing he dosn’t know Why, Nick, he knows more aboir? medicine than any doctor vou ever saw, and more about horses than anv of oar sporting men. He can tell you more about hunting and Ashing than any of our hunters and fishermen. He can sail a boat or put on a fly better than either of us. Why, Nick, he knows more about boats and guns and dogs than both of us put togeth er.’ “Niek’s eyes had been gradually swelling during this eulogium, and here he burst out with: ‘Bv gum. Colonel, he uiust be a great ipanf ■ Know more about boats and dogs than I do. Lord, wliat a whale h* must be!

After the. dis cussion, by the House Mr. Hurd was accorded the fiopr to speak ip his own defence.) , Mr. Hurd opened his argument with the statement that he would not have addressed the House except that he wished to show lie had good cause to claim that he had been elected in the His sense of du ty to himSelf. to his friends and con- stituerits who had so often honored him, c-ohipelledhim to speak to-dav. Nor did he overlook the interest which the public had in the question he would disfeuss. Before and beyond all interests which, either the sitting member or himself had in the contro versy was the interest of the public. It made but little difference who a legislator was provided the source of his power was pure and uncontamina ted. Lastily, greater than the ques tion as to who was the representative, was that other question: “Has the e- lection on which he relies been fair. ’ We have always been of the impres sion that Mr. Hurd was defeated by an unfair election. The few words of his defence of his rights which have been published, could not fairly present his case to the reader. At the close of his speech he was greeted with loud, and long continued applause on the floor and in the galleries. He was defeat ed however, the vote for him being 106, for Roaieis T \Republican, 168. For ty-eight Democrats voted against Hurd. If those Democratic votes had been cast for hini he would have gain ed the seat. It is reasonable to sup pose from the large democratic vote against hbri that his claim was defeo- riame „ HBi that beautiful region of lakes and dells. I did not tell him the whole story that always accom panies the view of the ancient fort; that it was here he came after eloping with the only daughter of old Zachary Taylor, and that tiie people of Prairie du'Chien, then a frontier post, show- ; ed their sympathy with the runaways by giving them a big reception as roaf n , | they passed through to the last out- 1 post of civilization. v - *■ . “Mre. Olement G. Clay, of Alabama, wbose husband shared Mr. Darts’ im prisonment after the Civil war, and who is one of the most remarkable women the South ever produced, gave me the sequel of this elO|ieinent scrape. Gen. Taylor hever forgave either Davis or Ms daughter unt ; l the night after ' Davis led the famous charge of his regiment Of Mississippi riflemen at Buena Vista. About midnight an orderly presented him self at Col. Davis’ tent announced that Gen. Tavlor wished to see him at headquarters immediately. The two men had never spoken sinee the one had stolen the daughter of the other Davis knew the passionate temper of the old man, and instantly conjunc- tured that the sudden and peremp tory summons boded no good to him. In ' deep anxiety he hurried to the General’s tent, entered trie door and saluted without speaking or moving a step inside. The door was clos- in a moment, B.ncl Old Rough and Readv,’ with his arms outstretch ed rushed forward and embraced his long-ignored son-in-law, exclaiming, ‘j$ v , my daughter knew you better than I did. Forgive me For- ^ “Th^reconciliation so dramatically brought about was a lasting one, and tothedav of Old Zaeh’s death, sixteen months dnd four days after his inaug uration as President of the Cmted States, he and Mr. Davis were friends. . . . “Though he is now far past tne Scriptural life-limit of three-score years and ten, Mr. Davis is a charm ing companion for an afternoon o commonplace races, and the range o his information seems almost mhmte.
