’ COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCr, 17*
The Aext President—Wise. Hnchanait, Pierce.
We published last week a communication fiom an
esteemed friend upon this subject, in which Henry A. !
Wise was urged with much force upon the Democracy j
ns the man for the crisis. We estimate very highly
the services rendered by this bold champion to the cauoe
of civil ancT religious liberty in the recent elections. To
him, more than to any other man, is attributable the
crowning victories achieved by the Democracy in the
Southern States over the s-worn legions of “Sam,'’ and
no man would hail with more delight than we the ele
vation of the Hero Orator to the chief magistracy of
the United S‘ates. And if the fight for the Presiden
cy shall be between the Democracy and the Know
Nothings in 1856, Henry A. Wise is unquestionably
the man for the occasion. But we do not think “Sam”
will be in the field in 1850. He is dead, we think, und
is beyond the reach of resusitation. Ilis army is scat
tered to the four winds of heaven, and can never be
brouglu into the field again. A careful consideration of
the signs of the times has brought us to the conclusion
that the next enemy the Democracy will.be called on
to fight and conquer, is the “Fusionists,” headed by
William 11. Seward. The contest will be so far sec
tional as the great body of the Northern people will be
arrayed on one side under the specious mime of “Re
publicans,” and the large mass of the Southern people
will be arrayed on the other under the lead of the De
mocracy.
, The controlling question will be the power of Con
gress over slavery in the Territories ; the one side claim
ing for Congress the power to restrict slavery by re
fusing to admit any more slave States into the Union,
and the other side denying to Congress all power over
the subject. If these views are eorreot, other conside
rations than a man’s views on the Philadelphia Platform
ought to govern the South in the selection of a candi
date for Presidet of the United States. We would not
of course, consent to the nomination of a Know Nothing
for that high office ; such a politician has exhibited too
little respect for the rights of man to be trusted with
the powers of a chief executive of this great people. In
comparison, however, with a man’s position on the slavery
question, his views upon the subject of the naturalization
laws and a religious test are of a very little moment in
this great struggle between the North and the South.
In selecting, therefore, a candidate for the Presidency,
the South ought to be mainly influenced by his ca
pacity to unite the South and bring Northern support to
the cause of the South and the constitution.
In this respect, there are several Northern statesmen
who occupy a more commanding position than Henry
A. Wise. Foremost in this noble band of patriots
stands James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. The recent
glorious victory, in the Keystone State, of the Democ
racy over the infamous Fusion party, which is hereafter
to be our greatest enemy, gives to her gallant people
the right to be consulted in the selection of the next
President and we are quite sure that our Minister to
Great Britain is their first choice. He is a statesman
of large experience, profound knowledge, incorruptible
integrity, and has always been foremost in the defence
of the constitutional rights of the South. Ilis absence
from the country has placed him out of the reach of the
local prejudices which have grown up in various Nor
thern localities within the last two years, and the vari
ous factions of the Democratic party could be more
readily united upon him than upon any other promi
nent statesman whose name lias been suggested in con
nection with the Presidency. At the South, he would
propably be acceptable to all parties. Though opposed
to Know Nothingism, he wfts prevented, b} his position,
from mingling in the strife and would gain free access
to the hearts of our people as there would be no better
party prejudices to bar the door.
While we concede to our correspondent all that he
claims for the Southern Democracy, we do not think
they ought to insist upon the exercise of their right to
choose a candidate at this particular juncture. The
battle for Southern Rights, upon which we have now
entered, will be fought mainly at the North, and policy
would seem to demand that the South should concede to
her Northern friends the privilege of selecting the lea
der of the host.
We are not prepared to admit that “the administra
tion was defeated” until Henry A. Wise mingled in the
fray, as asserted by our correspondent. The Northern
elections were disastrous, but this was anticipated. The
Nebraska-Kansas act was anew and startling experi
ment in legislation. The Northern mind was shocked
for the moment, and artful demagogues seized the oc
casion and turned it their advantage, But the sober
second thought of the people will reverse the judgment
so hastily rendered, and vindicate the wisdom and pa
triotism of the measure. Already the tide has turned,
and tho recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary
land and Indiana give promise of a glorious future.
We 1 lave from time to time condemned such of the
acts of the administration of President Pierce as we
thought objectionable. The Cuban question wasbung
lingly managed by Secretary Marcy, the interference of
Secretary Guthrie in the squabbles of the New York
tactions was unlortunate, and the bleeder appointment
did not turn out well, but those are small matters 5 not
near so important in their consequences, nor so unfor
tunate in their results as the non-intercourse policy of
Mr. JetFerson ; and are not to be mentioned as offsetts
to the great and wise measures which have been tri
umphantly advocated and carried bv the administration.
To toe bouth, at least, President Pierce has been true.
1 lis less of popularity at the North has been owing en
t.reiy to his bold and manly defence of the constitution
al rights ot the South. Very different would have been
his position in that section of the Union, if h 8 had sanc
tioned Northern designs upon ihc bed ral Treasury and
thrown the influence of his administration against the
1 epeal pi tne Missouri restriction. He has done tvhat
very tew men have ever attempted ; he has opposed his
own section and outraged their most cherished preju
dices ; ne has stood by the weak when the strong at
tempted to oppress and wrong them ; and all this he has
done simply because the South was right and the North
v. tong. Ail honor then t President Pierce for his
noble and gallant conduct in h.s high office, ilb has
placed the South under everlasting obligations, and
whether he is re-nominated or not, he will ever find in
the Southern heart a cordial appreciation of his eminent
services, lie is the dearer to us because he is unpopu
lar at the North. It may not be good policy to re
nominate him ; but of tTiia we are Certain— no President
ever went out of office who had higher claims upon the
South for tlieir s>dF. ages.

Santa Anna. —A report has been put in circulation
that this distinguised, and we may add, experienced
refugee, has arrived in this country incog , and is at
present secrectly demoeiled in Washington City. No
confidence, however, is placed in the report. The last
authentic accounts we have of him left him at St. Tho
mas on his way to Caraccas, whence he was to repair
to Turbaeo, near Carthagena, in New Grenada, where
lie may amuse himself in cock-figluing and patiently
wait the next turn of the wheel of his political fortunes.
The Prospict in Louisiana. —The election come* off 1
on the sth November. The True Delta of the llih
it st., says :
“From Bienville, Sabine, St. Landry, St. Mary La
fourche and St. Janies, from- parishes m the extreme
Northwest, as well as in our neighborhood, letter upon
letter crowd upon us, all conveying the same assurances,
all congratulating us upon the position Louisiana will
take towards the fanatical and anti-republican move
ments which have been imported by her enemies, with
in her honest and incorruptible borders.”
Australia and the United States. —The Sydney
Times says that a project has been started by a British
capitalist largely connected with the trade of the Unit
ed States, to establish steam communication between
the British Colonies and New York and London, via
Panama. Tho scheme is shaped with a view of em
bracing equal advantages to Sydney and Melbourne on
the Pacific side, and it contemplates direct lines to Lon
don and New York on the Atlantic. This is to bo ef
fected by making Tahiti the entreport for the service in
the Pacific, and final station for the Panama steamers,
and continuing the communication by branch lines to
Sydney and Melbourne. From Aspiuwall to London
it is proposed to enter into arrangements with the Royal
West India Company for the conveyance of the English
freight and passengers, while the communication will
be carried through to New York by a line of steamers
belonging to the new company. It is calculated by this
line that New York will be brought within forty five
days and London within fifty days of Australia.
Heavy Robbery.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10.
The store of Messrs. Thompson, Potter, and Newkirk,
at the corner of Fifth and Market streets was entered

Gold Chain Factory Burnt.
Springfield, (Mass.,) Oct. 9.
Messrs. Pumrill & Shurnway’s extensive gold chain
manufactory was completely destroyed by fire this eve
ning The loss is heavy, and some 60 workmen have
been thrown out of employment. The firm is insured.
Advanco in BreadstufFs.
By reference to the report of Northern markets un
der our commercial head, it will be seen that bread-stuffs
of all kinds have advanced in price. On Saturday, Mon
day and T uesday of last week, sales of wheat were made
in New York to the amount of 400,000 bushels.
The cause of th is advance has been the receipt of large
orders from England and France in order to supply the
deficiency of the grain crops in Europe. A considerable
am >unt of the purchases have also been made on account
of Greek houses. Large orders for Wheat and Flour
have also been filled in Baltimore and Boston.
The advance on Flour during the week in Baltimore
has been from 50 to cents, and on Wheat 12 cents.
In New York, for the same time fL-nr has advanced $L
to $1 12£ on all grades. Wheat 8 to 16 cts., and corn
about 6 cents.
Our farmers have profited by this increased demand, as
is shown by the large amount of wheal received here bv
the Central Railroad, and shipped to New York*. Du
ring the months of July, August and September, about
390,000 bushels were received, and up to Saturday eve
ning last, a little over 72,000, making a total, the present
season, of 462,000 bushels. This is quite an important
item in the trade of this section with the North. Proba
bly an equal amount has been shipped from Charleston,
and all of it growth of Georgia and Tennessee.—Savan

Must Read or Not Vote.
• Oa Monday Is Oct.; the people of Connecticut were
required to express their opinions at ;he polls upon the
a loption of the following proposition as an amendment
to the eonsMtion of that State, viz :
“TbaUevery person shall be able to read any article of
the Constitution, .or any section of thq statutes of the
State, before being admitted as an elector ”
The amendment was adopted by a large majority,
which is altogether the most sensible thing we have known
the people oi a New England State to do for a long time.
No man should be allowed to vote who is unable to read.
Such a law would doubtless, at first, exclude some very
worthy men—men of sound practical sense ; but tli3t
evil Would be greatly overbalanced by the thousands of
stupid, ignorant creatures it would exclude, who are now
led up to the polls by demagogues, l.ke sheep to the
slaughter. Nor would the objection, that in some few
instances worthy men would be excluded, be of long
duration, for all'such would learn to read in a very short
ti ne, and thus remove the disability.— Chronicle <J- Sen

Living by One’s Wits.
Nine persons sailed from Balse down the Rhine. A Jew
who wished to go to Schlampi, was allowed to come on
board and journey with them, on condition that he would
conduct himself with propriety, and give the captain 18
kreutzers for his passage.
Now, it is true, something jingled in the Jew’s pocket
when he struck his hand against it; hut the only money
therein was a twelve kreutzer piece, for the other was a
brass button. Notwithstanding this, he accepted the offer
with gratitude, for he thought tojiimself, “something may
be earned even upon the water There is many a man
who has grown rich on the Rhine.”
During the first part of the voyage, the passengers were
very talkative and merry, and the Jew, with wallet under
his arm—for he did not lay it aside —was the object of much
mirth and mockery, as alas! is often the case with those
of his nation. Put as the vessel sailed onward, and passed
Thurington and St. Veit, the passengers, one after the other
grew silent, gazed down the river until one spoke out:
‘Come, Jew, do you know any pastime that will amuse
us 1 Your fathers must have Contrived many a one during
their long stay in the wilderness.’
‘Now is the time,’ thought the Jew, ‘to shear my sheep!’
And he proposed that they should sit round in a circle,and
propound curious questions to each other, and he, by their
permission, would sit down by them. Those who could
not answer the questions,should pay the one who propoun
ded them a twelve kreutzer piece, and those who answer
ed them pertinently should receive a twelve kreutzer
piece.
The proposal pleased the company, and hoping to divert
themselves with the Jew’s wit or stupidity, each one asked
at random whatever entered his head. *
Thus, for example, the first one asked:
‘How many soft boiled .eggs could a giant eat on an
empty stomach?’
All said that it was impossible to answer that question,
and each paid over their twelve kreutzers.
• But the Jew said ‘One; for he who has eaten one egg,
cannot eat a second on an empty stomach,’ and the other
paid him twelve kreutzers.
The second thought, wait Jew, I will try you out of the
New Testament, and I think I shall win my piece.
‘Why did the Apostle Paul write the Second Epistle to
the Corinthians?’
The Jew said, ‘because he was not in Corinth, otherwise
he would have spoken to them.’ So he won another 12
kreutzer piece.
When the third found the Jew so well versed in the Bi
ble, he tried him in a different way.
‘Who prolongs his work to as great a length as possible,
and yet completes it in time?’
‘The rope maker, if he is industrious, said the Jew.
In the meanwhile they drew near the village, and one
said to the other,‘that is Bamiach.’
Then the fourth said, in what month |do the people of
Bamiach eat the leat?’
The Jew said,‘in February; for ‘that has only Ttwenty
eight da vs.’
The fifth said, ‘there are two natural brothers, and still
only one of them is my uncle?’
The Jew said, ‘the uncle is your father’s brother, and
your father is riot your uncie.’
A fish now jumped out of the water, and the sixth asked
‘what fish have their eyes nearest together?’
The Jew said, ‘the smallest.’
The seventh man then asked, how can a man ride from
Basle to Berne in the shade, in the summer time, when
the sun shines?’
The Jew said,‘When he comes to a place where there
is no shade, he must dismount and go on foot.’
The eighth asked, ‘W T hen a man rides in the wintertime
from Berne to Basle and has forgotten his gloves, how
must he manage so that his hands shall not freeze?’
The Jew said, he must make fists out of them.’
Tho ninth was the last. This one asked, ‘How can five
persons divide five eggs so that each man shall receive one
and still one remain on the dish?’
The Jew said,‘Thelast one must take the dish with
the egg. and let it lay there as Jong as he pleases ’
But now it came to his turn, and he determined to make
a good sweep. Alter many preliminary complements, he
asked, with an air of mischievous hiendliness—‘How’ can
a man try two trout in three pans, so that a trout may lay
in each pan?’
) No one could answer this, and one after an other gave
him a twelve kreutzer piece.
But when the ninth desired that he should answer it
himself, he frankly acknowledged that the trout could not
be hied in that way!
Then ii was maintained that this was unfair in the Jew,
but he stoutly affirmed that there w'as no provision for it
in the agreement, save that he who-could not answer the
questions should pay the kreutzers; and fulfilled the agree
ment by paying that sum to the ninth of bis comrades,
who had asked him to soive it himself. But they all being’
rich merchants, and grateful for the amusement w hich had
passed an hour or two very pieas ntly for them, laughed
heartily over their loss and ?,t the Jew’s cunning.

Pennsylvania Election.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10.
From all directions the news is pouring in upon us of
democratic victories, and we are so bewildered with im
mense majorities and unbounded enthusiam that we are
unable to foot them up. Suffice it to say, the victory
throughout the State is a complete one —one from which
the unholy alliance formed against the democracy will
not soon recover.
Our whole city and county ticket, consisting of George
Megee, for sheriff; Charles W. Carrigan, for register of
wills ; and John Sherry for cfera of the orphans’ court,
has been elected, majorities ranging from 1,000 to 2,500.
The democratic senate and assembly ticket in the old
county is elected by over 2,000 majority. In the city
the democrats have two, and the Americans two assem
blymen, the latter including E. Joy Morris.
In York county the entire democratic ticket is elected
by a large majority.
In Allegheny county the democratic sheriff is elected
by a large majority, and in Cambria county the demo*
eratic sheriff is elected by 800.
In Schuylkill county the whole, democratic ticket is
elected.
Monroe county has a democratic majority of about
1,600
In Northampton county the democratic majority is
v l,loo.
in Wayrm county the whole democratic ticket is elected.
Berks e vßty gives a large democratic inajurty. It
will not be ess mail 5,500.
Allegheny elects the wh 4e democratic ticket by about
400 niaj-ritv. The know nothing majority last year was
5,262.
Lehigh gives 800 democratic majority. The Know’
Nothing majority last year was sixty-eight.
In Lancaster county the democratic gains have been
immense, aud it is believed that a portion of the dem
ocratic ticket has been elected. Last year the Knew
Noi'oing majority was 6,263.
Momgomery gives two thousand democratic majority,
a gaiu of fitteen hundred.
SECOND DESPATCH.
Ficc o'clock, p. m —lt would gladden the heart of
any true democrat to be in Philadelphia to day to witness
the . xuitation. We have carried everything bv sweep
iug majorities, our gain being over six thousand*
Throughout the State the democratic gains are over
whelming.
The Democrats have carried many counties “hereto
!o *e strongly Know Nothing.
In Dauphin county the democrats have about 800 ma
jority as tar as heard from. Five towuships yet to be
telurned. The county gave 1,776 majority for Pollock.
Philadelphia, Oct. 12.
As far as heard from the democrats have gained four
State senators and forty members of the legitlature.
Never did the enem.es of democracy meet with a more
overwhelming defeat.
Ohio Election.
Cincinnati, Get. 9.
Tho election passed off here to-day quietly and peacea
bly. All the coffee houses in the citv were closed. The
democratic county ticket is elected. Tho returns thus lar
received are meagre and unreliable.
Cleveland, Oct. 9—ll. p. rn.
At this hour there is no possibility ofsayirg more than
that Wm. 11. Medill, democrat, tor governor, is ahead,
with a fair prospect of election. The returns thus far re
ceived are very scattering.
Columbus, Oct. 9—ll, p. in.
Medill, the democratic candidate for governor, is elected
by a very large majority. We have redeemed the capital
ot Ohio. Few particulars, but everything looks cheering
for a general deinocrtaic triumph in the State.
Cincinnati, Oct 10.
Partial returns indicate that the democrats have carried
the State by a large majority.

A Secret for t!ie Ladles.
How to Preserve Health.— Don’t use Chalk, Lily
White, or any of the so-called cosmetics, to conceal a la
ded or sallow complexion.
If you would have t.ie roses brought back to your cheek,
a clear, healthy and transparent skin, and iife and vigor
infused through the system, get a bottle of Carter’s
Spanish Mixture, aud take it according to directions. It
does not taste quite as well as your sweet meats; but, it
after a few doses you do not find your health and beautv
reviving, your step elastic and vigorous, and the whole
system refreshed and invigorated like Spring morning,
then you case is hopeless, and ail the valuable certificates
we possess, go for naught. It is the greatest purifier of the
blood known; is perfectly harmless, and at iho same time
powerfully efficacious. For sale by
