A Loafer's Solioqny. —“I wish I knew where
to net cent, I do. Blest if I don’t emigrate to
Kamchatka to dig gold. Money scarcer than
w jt—can’t live by neither —at least l can t.
Sold the last old shirt, pawned my boots for
three cents and went home as rich as a lord.
“Told my landlady I had a hundred thousand
dollars, and wanted the best room in the house.
Insulted me by saying the attic was too good
for me.
“I’m an injured individual. Society perse
cutes me. I don’t do society no harm as I
knows on. I don’t rob widder’a houses. 1
don’t know widder’s. I don’t put the bottle to
my neighbor’s lips. I ain’t got no neighbors ;
and the fact is I don’t own any bottles. Couldn’t
fill ’em if I did.
“I’m an innocent man. Nobody can look rue
in the face and say I ever hurt ’em ; nobody,
and yet I haven't got a roof to lay my head into.
My old landlady hated me, why \ I couldn’t
pay, and I left. Cause why ? ain't it better to
dwell in a corner of the house-top than with a
brawling woman in a wide house ? But I ain’t
got a house top; and if I had, a corner wouldn’t
be safe, would it?
“I’m a desp’rit man. I’d go to work if it
wasn’t for my excessive benevolence. I’m
afeared of taking the bread out of somebody’s
mouth. Besides, wisdom’s the principle thing ;
don’t the good hook say so l What’s money
to wisdom ? Ain’t Ia studying character? If
a man kicks me because I can’t pay for my lick >
er, ain’t I getting understanding ? ain’t it a
lesson to human nature ? I’m told the world
owes me a living. Whet? is it going to pay I
wonder ? I’m tired of waiting.”
Yellow Fever Incident. —The Baton Rouge
Comet relates the following anecdote,of a French
shoemaker in that town :
“During the ravages of the epidemic monsieur
was frequently advised to he on his guard, lest
the fever should take him ; but he replied to all
this advice with only a shrug, and saying, I
shall tend to my beeznese, and let ze save do
his, by gar!’
Two or three of Parlez Vous friends were
taken otf, hut still he plied his hammer and
thread as usual. At last a death occurred in his
house. ’Phis was enough. Crapeau immedi
ately undressed himself and went to bed and
waited there very patiently three or four days,
for“ze save,” but no fever came. Thinking he
had done his part in the matter the testy Yor
donnoir’ got up in a rage, put on his clothes,
and went furiously to “beeznese” to make up
for lost time. A friend of ours, whose duties
among the sick called him that way daily, ob
serving his old acquaintance again at work,
thought he would inquire about his late absence.
So he asked the implacable Caul where lie had
been—-if he had been sick with the fever.
Looking up from his work for a moment, he
replied, with a shrug and grimmace, such as
a Frenchman only can make : “I seek wiz ze
save ? No, by gar, ze save be dam—l lose one
tree, tour day, in ze bed, wait for him come, and
he would no come; so I lose no more day
for him, by dam. Ze save goto h —/, I go’bout
my beeznese /”
Our friend immediately left, perfectly satisfied
with the explanation of his friend’s absence.”
Give me Drink. —Mr. M’Leod, an English
writer, puts the following in the mouths of those
who visit the rum-seller’s den :
There’s my money—give me drink! there’s
my clothing and my food—give me drink! there’s
the clothing, food, and fire, of my children—give
me drink ! There’s the education of the fami
ly and the peace of the house—give me drink!
There’s the rent I have robbed from my land
lord, fees I have robbed from the schoolmaster,
and innumerable articles I have robbed from the
shopkeeper—give me drink ! Pour meout drink,
for more I will yet pay for it! There’s my
health of body and peace of mind—there’s mv
character as a man and my profession as a
Christian—l give up all—give me drink ! More
yet I have to give ! There’s my heavenly in
heritance and the eternal friendship of the re
deemed—there—there—is all hope of salvation!
I give up my Saviour ! I give up my God ! I re
sign all! All that is great, good and glorious
in the universe, I resign forever, that I may be
—Drunk !
Naked Truth. —The late eccentric John
Holmes, used frequently, in his addresses to dif
ferent juries, to explain the meaning of the
phrase, “naked truth,” by relating the following
fable : “Truth and Falsehood travelling one
warm day met at a river, and both went to bathe
at the same place. Falsehood coming first out
of the water, took his companion’s clothes and
left his own vile raiment, and then went on his
way. Truth coming out of the water, sought
in vain for his own proper dress—disdaining to
wear the garb of falsehood. Truth started all
naked, in pursuit of the thief, but not being so
swift of foot, has never overtaken the fugitive,
Ever since he has been known as “Naked
Truth.”
Cleaning Stained Cotton.
Joseph R. Black, of Abbeville, South Caro
lina, makes ttie following communication to the
Independent Press , which may be very valuable
to the Cotton Planters, all or nearly all of whom, j
have stained cotton this season. Let the me- •
thod be tested:
Mr. Editor Having discovered a simple j
process by which cotton soiled by the late rains, j
nmy be cleaned and whitened, I make the ‘
suggestion for the benefit of fanners. Take a
common wheat-thresher, and raise the cylinder
one inch, the box one-half inch, which will throw
the frails an inch from the cross bar, and by
placing the cross bars an inch apart, the dirt
and trash pass through and fall in heap near
the thresher, and separately from the cotton.—
In this way I cleansed enough dirty cotton to
make some three bales of gin ned cotton in about;
two hours. It can be cleaned as fast as several j
bands can teed the thresher, anrfl when done, is i
as white as that which has open ed since the >
rain. Very respectfully, i
Joseph R,’
Johnson's Creek, Sept. 33,1853.
P. 6.—The thresher I used was from Enpght
& Sfarr’t Factory, at Abbeville C. H-

EXPRESSLY FOR THE TIMES & SENTINEL,
The very Latest.
Hailey Elected.
Macon, Oat. 8.
The official vote sent to Milledgeville has been ex
amined, and shows that Bailey is elected by 20 votes.
The Result—A Review.
The battle has been fought between the political par
ties in Georgia, and victory perches upon the Demo
cratic standard. The trophies of the war are a Demo
cratic Governor, a Democratic Legislature, six out of
eight Representatives in Congress, a United States Sena
tor, two Supreme Court Judges as the legitimate result,
and Democratic ascendancy in the State Government
for two years.
The chief issue in the canvass was the character of
j the Presidents appointments. The Conservative party
’ charged that he had conferred offices upon Secessionists,
| Abolitionists and Freesoilers. The Democracy admit
i ted that the greater number of the Southern appoiut
j rnenis were given to Southern Rights Democrats, but
j contended that Union Democrats, in proportion to their
| numbers, had received a fair share of the spoils of office.
| They denied that the President had appointed any man
! to office who was now a Freesoiler or Abolitionist,
j The conduct of the great body of the Democratic party
i in this canvass is matter of sincere congratulation. Un
! der the pressure of the severest party exigency they
i have adhered to the faith. No States Right Demo
i erat has denied the right of secession ; in the very heat
; of the canvass, Cushing’s speech asserting the right was
i extensively published and heartily endorsed by the press
of tb.e party.
Nor did they fail to express disapprobation of Free
soilers or Abolitionists as warmly as in the heated war
fare of 1860. It is true that they defended Dix,
Vroom, and Brown, from the false assertions of their
apponents ; but in no instance have the> commended
| any men to public favor to whom the .suspicion of Kre*-
: soilism attached.
I The Conservative party attempted to make mi issue
with the Democracy upon the Pacific Railroad, but en
tirely failed to effect their insidious purpose. The
leading presses and politicians of the party ad her and to
the ancient laud marks and condemned this wild Fede
ral heresy. The Democracy of Georgia have again
set the seal of their disapprobation upon the system of
Internal Improvements by the Federal Government.
This triumph, therefore, is doubly dear to us. Wo
have achieved victory without the surrender of a single
principle dear to us as Southern men and Democrats.
But victory will prove a curse unless it is wisely used.
In the selection of a Senator, reference ought to be
had to the character, talents, and political principles of
the candidates. Other things being equal, that man
•ought to be chosen who is the Representative or em
bodiment of the political faith of the great body of the
party. This is a fair, liberal and just, and Democratic
rule which cannot be departed from with safety or
decency. A Democrat who will trade with the op
position and thus force himself upon the party contrary
to their wishes is a traitor, and ought not to be trusted
! by honest men.
In the selection of Judges of the Supreme Court, refe
i rence ought to be bad solely to the character, talents,
I and legal achievements of the candidates; but if this
j he utopian, certainly the democrat who is preeminent
! in this regard ought to wear the ermine of justice,
i In reference to State politics, we presume there will
j belittle diversity of opinion in the Legislature. Facili
-1 ties for education ought to be brought to every voters
| door, and the Railroad system of Georgia rendered
| complete.
The State Road, if wisely managed, will afford a
j fund amply sufficient for this purpose. It can be leased,
} we understand, for 300,000 dollars per annum. In a
| very short time this income would carry the steam ear
into every portion of the State, and complete the Raii
j road system of Georgia. When this preliminary work
I is accomplished, the whoie fund arising from the various
| Roads, in which the State will bo interested, can be
I appropriated to educational purposes, and will be amply
sufficiant to extend a school system throughout the State
at as early a day as the wants of the people require.
/The State needs a University, a high school in every
xiounty, a common school in every district. Upon this
subject we reserve what we have to say to a future oc
casion.
i The tax law needs revision. The true rule of taxa
t tion is to make every voter pay in proportion to his in
come. This we believe is the principle upon which the
present t3x law was based. In some respects it fails
to accomplish its object. It very frequently imposes a
double tax. Fcr instance, a man buys to-day a piece
of land on a credit of one year. He aiso has money
] due one year hence. By the law as it now stands he
j pays a tax on both land and money, though the land
J will be paid for out of the money when it is collected,
j This is unjust. These defects ought, and we believe
! will be corrected.
] Economy is a fundamental principle in the De.no
j eratic faith. We earnestly hope the members of the
i Legislature will look sharply to all drains upon the
i treasury and see that no abuses are allowed to pass un
; noticed and uncorrected.
SrARKLtNG Catawba. —We aiv indebted to Mr.

ville, show that Bailey, dem., is elected by a majority
of 20 votes over Trippe, whig.
In the Fourth District, Dent, dem., is elected over
Calhoun, whig, by a large majority.
In the Fifth District , there is no doubt about the
