Thu Washington Sentinel (a Democrat ic organ) admits that if Pierce is nomina ted at Cincinnati, Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Jersey, and Delaware, will all be lost ’to the Democratic party. ' It lays at the door of Pbanklin Pierce 'the present aspect of party politics, and • pays his weakness the following compli ment: “Franklin Pierce come into olf.ee near ly by acclamation, and ho had for his en couragement and support a Senate with a large Democratic l'uajo ity, and but four Frccsoilcrs, all told. A House of Repre sentatives with an overwhelming Demo cratic majority, and only a small Freesoi! party. By the ‘fast and loose’ course his administration—his habitual faith-break ing with everybody his pledges ever disre garded, or what is worse, evaded—his shuffling, undecided course, in our foreign relations—his abolition appointments — and a thousand and one other things we could add, equally demo adzing in their tendency; the Lower House is in the hands of Republicans. And in the Sen ate of the Uhited States and the small uu 'Cleus of four Freesoilers has been iucrcas '-ed to one-fifth of the whole body.” ‘Hear Mrs, Harriett P. Prewett, the gifted Editress of the “American Banner,” Yazoo, Miss. In speaking Os the Nation al American nomination, she says: “Never, perhaps, since the days of Washington, has there been a more unex ceptionable ticket presented to the Amer ican people for their support, than the one selected by the American National Con vention which met at Philadelphia recent ly. We consider, and so we presume, does every American, the ticket a most excellent and admirable one. It is strong ■in.point of ability, strong in personal pop ularity, strong in qualification for the dis charge of official duties, —and unusually strong in the moral and political character 'of the distinguished gentleman who com pose it. They are not, and never have been, social drones or the mrre hacks Os party. But they are pure and unexcep tionable men, and always have been, in Heir personal, private and public rela tion. They are high-minded, honorable, ‘capable men. In a word they are both Statesmen and patriots, and will adorn and dignify the high and distinguished po sitions to which it is proposed to elevate them. It is well known to our readers, that we have had the name of Millard Fill more at our mastksad for the Presidency nearly four years ; ever since we took Gen eral Scott down, when that calamity, the election of Pierce befel the country. He was our first choice and we believe Provi dence points to him, as our next Presi dent. Florida Kail-Roads. We make the following extracts from the Charleston Mercury of the 22d instant: Florida appears to have become fully alive -to the importance of developing its latent re sources by the construction of Rail roads.— No less than three companies arc now simul taneously and actively engaged iu railroad build mg. One of these roads start from the Atlantic ■'mu; runs south to seek a Oulf-outlet. Another j commences at Jacksonville, on the St. John's river, a tributary of the Atlantic, and runs: westward sixty miles to Alligator, (Columbia county, where tiie line is taken up by another 'Company and curried still-further westward to 'li’uliuhasSee, evehtuully'to be extended to Pen sacola, The road first mentioned was com imeuced last fall! the'othet two this spring, mud the grading is simultaneously progressing from Tallahassee eastward and from Jucksou '•Ville westward to the point of meeting ; where they will constitute a continuation from the ■Atlantic to the Gulf, by a junction with the St. Marks at Tallahassee. The Legislatuie of the ■State has, by law, granted aid to the Compa nies for the iron and equipments of their Te ■upcctive roads, and lias also authorized county •and town subscriptions to the capital stock of these roads, by a vote of the citizens, empow ering the corporate authorities to use bonds, •and require them to levy and collect such a tax as will pay the interest and redeem the bonds. This provision was necessary, inasmuch as the •capital of the country was, in a great measure, locked up in real estate, in negroes and other personal properly, which was unavailable for this purpose. In several instances, the subscrip tion has been voted, the people consenting to impose upon themselves a tax to procure the facilities of transportation which their isolated position demanded, and which, compared with their present tax to and from market, is a slight burden.” inks. Brandy anil Clears. To those who have not examined the statistical returns published annually by the Government the amount paid every year for luxuries will appear fabulous ; but the figures do not lie, no matter who may doubt. We boast of our ability to feed the world, and of the business we are do ing in that way now; but few suppose that the silks—piece goods, iucludin ribands, but not buttons and ornaments ebielly manufactured of silk—brought here for the adornment of Republicans and their wives and daughters exceeded in value, by eight million of dollars, all the flour that we send abroad. Yet such is the fact. In the year ending June 30th, 1855, we exported $14,783,394 in flour, and impor ted $•22,470,i1l lin silks, leaving the bal ance we have above stated to be charged to the difference between the pride of A merieans and the appetite of the whole word besides. Our cornfields, particularly jin the West, are the occasion of much national boast ing. We measure them singly by miles square, and estimate their aggregate val ue in hundreds of millions ; but the amount of this our national staple which we send abroad is overshadowed by the cost of the cigars with which we poison our breath and ruin our hea th. In the period we have named, corn worth $1,374,0077 left our ports, an l cigars valued at $3,311,935 were brought in. The herds of cattle and the resulting barrels of beef people j never tiro of talking of. They see in them a large part of the material with which we! claim we can fill the maw of all civilized man kind. Our merchants who are in that line watch the foreign markets with great solicitude, and guage their prices by signals from the other side of the wa ter. But of beef, tallow, hides, and “horn cattle” wc sold for other countries only $2,214,554 in the last commercial year; and during that time we bought brandy j to the amount of $3,241,408. We deal; largely in tobacco, raise it in quantities, i chew anti smoke it without limit. It e»n-| stitutes third in value in the list of com- j modifies which this country lias to spare. Yet we export only $11,319,319 in val ue of this article yearly, and last, year we J received in return tea and coffee amount-j ing in round numbers to $24,000,000. — j Even iu narcotics the balance of trade is largely agai.st us. Bacon, lard, and live hogs are no unimportant items in our com merce; yet we send abroad only enough of these to buy the linen that we wear. But “cottonis king.” Tluit pipes out the pe cuniary effects of the foolies and extrava gances which all have conspired to com mit. Os that we sent out last year ship loads enough to swell the •'aggregate val ue of the export to $109,450,00, an amount greater than the value of all exports, spe cie included.-- Chicago ! Tribune. A i.ost Work: on‘Christ C’ome to Lkiht.—Paleairo’s work on the “Benefit of Christ’s Death,” first published in 1542, of which the original has long been sup posed to be lost, has been recovered in an Italian edition of 1553, and published.in England with a French translation in 1551. These were found in the library of St. John’s College, Cambridge. The English version, made in 1548 by Edward Lburtenay, Earl of Devonshire, is also ad ded. This book had an immense popular ity in the sixteenth century. Forty thous and copies were issued in Venice alone, and it was translated into Spanish, as well as French and English.—Paleairo, for his J advocacy of the Reformed views, especial ly iu the matter of “Justification,” 'suffer ed martyrdom under Bins V in 1510. The whole Roman Catholic influence was di rected to the extermination of his work, and with such success that, Ranke says, “it has entirely disappeared.” “Can You Reach Tlu-m Pertaters?” Several legislature gentleman were din ing at a Boston hotel; one of them asked Mr. M., a gentleman who sat oppos'te: “Can you reach pertaters, Sir !” Mi" M., extending-his arm toward the dish and satisfying himself that he could reach the “pertaters,” answered “Yes, I Sir.” The Legislator was taken aback with the unexpected rebuff from the wag, but presently recovering himself, he asked :—• “Will.you stick my fork into o;,e of ’em, then.” Mr. Id’, took the forte, and very coolly plungi and it into a finely cooked potatoe, and left It there. The company roared as they took the jbke, and the victim look-j ed more foolish than before, but suddenly and idea struck him,,and rising to his feet, he exclaimed, With an air of eonscibus tri umph : “Now, Mr., I will trouble you lor the fork'" Mr. M. ro e tt> his feet, and with the most imperturbable gravity pulled the fork out of the potato : and returned it, amidst an unconquerable thunderstorm of laughter, to the lit er discomfiture of the gentleman from B . Why didn’t the fool tell him to “fork it iover?” \ Little Plain Talk About the Presidential Klec | The politicians have now narrowed down the issue in the coming canvass to the slavery ques | lion. Every true lover of his country must be 1 aware that the sectional enmity which the agi tation of this question engenders is the only j source from which the United States have to ! fe-ar any danger. The politicians who love the ! spoils, and care nothing for the country, find I their account in keeping up this agitation. The maxim of Jefferson —that error is no lon j gor dangerous when truth and reason are left ] free to combat it—does not apply to this ques i turn, because in each section truth is not left free to combat error. The South is misinform ! ed about the state of feeling at the North, and | the North is equally ignorant as to the real po (sition and opinions of our Southern fellow-citi zens. This state of things, so fat- from improv ing with the progress of education and the dif fusion of information, is getting worse, the pas sions of radical men in both sections being art fully inflamed, by partisan leaders. There is, however, a great conservative power in the ranks of the voters; and in the next Presiden tial election this power will have an opportnni ty to extinguish slavery agitation, fierce as it may seem to be. How can this be done? Simp ly by a great popular revolution-, such as took place in Massachusetts two years since. We j must have anew party, which shall be the par ty of the people. And why? Let us see. Os the two parties yet to come into the field, the democratic organization is generally sup posed to have the highest prospects. The dem ocratic party is too much under the influence of pro-slavery sentiment; and it is boldly avowed that the next battle is to be fought entirely up on the negro issue. Thousands of voters who have heretofore acted with the democracy, will say this is too much and they will bo right.—- The great Victories of the democracy—the elec tion of Mr. Jefferson and the second triumph of General Jackson—were not won upon any sec tional issue. When the democratic party makes its pro-slavery sentiment its only distinctive principle, the democratic party then becomes as sectional as the abolitionists themselves, and it ceases to be entitled to the support of honest and true men, North or South. The pat ty call ing itself Republican, which has been organized out of a mass of floating material—old wliigs. disappointed democrats and disgusted Know Nothings—is equally under the control of the nigger worshipping or anti-slavery sentiment. If either of these parties have more than a temporary existence, the republic will be ruined by enmity between the sections, insurrection, disunion and civil war. The administration of Mr. Pierce came into power with a pledge, ill black and white, to put down slavery agitation, and that administration was the first to open it. Since the Kansas act was sprung upon the country in 1853, we have had nothing hut nig gers, niggers, niggers, from morning till night. Every act of government has been colored with an especial effort to secure the support of the extreme pro-slavery party: and if the democrat ic party shall win in the next election) we shall have a repetition of the same farce for four years more. But if the intelligent conserva tive voters —and we believe they amount to a very largo majority—should resolve to aban don botii these parties, and form a national or ganization, whien shall announce a sound Ante-! rican policy, ignoring the extremes above no ticed, it would effectually demolish the agitators j and leaders of the two sectional parties, and de molish political nigger driving and political nigger worshipping forever. All the branches; of this new American party should abandon all, other issues except that of freeing the country from the evils of sectional disputes, if they can.! They should unite upon one candidate and one! principle—union in opposition to sectional es-: trangement. Let there be a radical and thor ough-going revolution of tnis kind, and its grand and good effects would soon be made man ifest. We will be bound that such a movement, if properly directly, would secure three-fourths j of the votes that will be cast next November, j — Nev> York Herald.

Dr. Da mon’s Scamon’s Chaplain at the Sand whieli Islands, “ a pious Finn called up on me for a Testament with comments.— 1 showed him the volume published by the American tract society. On looking at its fair type, neat binding, and bcauti-j fully engraved maps, he looked at me with j a smile upon his countenance-; land, when I told him the book was published by a i benevolent society in America, he said, “God bless such a country. !” The expres sion seemed to gush forth so spontaneous ly from his grateful heart that 1 felt in deed that I was honored in being permit ted to distribute and 'sell books so valua ble. I have often thought of the remark since. It lias made me love my native land, and the American Tract Society, more than ever. I trust, indeed, that this Society may continue its benevolent ope rations, causing the foreigners of all lands and parts of the world to exclaim, “God bless such a country!” ” —Boston Recor der. A Lirei,.— We a sec statement going the i round of the press, says the Marianna (Fla.) Patriot, that the work entitled.— “Courtship and Marriage,”"6r “The Joys ami Sorrows of American -Life,” (publish ed by T. B. Peterson, of-Phiiadelphia, was : Written by the late Mrs. ‘Caroline Lee I Lentz, of this place. We are authorized by the children of the deceased to contra dict it. It is shameful that such a Stigma s-.ould have been pht upon the'reputation of as gifted an authoress as Mrs. dlontz especially jitst after her demise. It was evidently done to give’the book sale. We hope our brc.thren«of the‘press will notice the fact., if only'out of 'respect f‘s the mem ory of the deceased. Fat. i. Days in Yellow Fever. —Dr J. D. Bryant, one sis the volunteer physicians in the Portsmouth, Yu., pestilence, lias I published a pamphlet about the disease. | He remarks that the fifth day of tiie dis ease was espectlilly fatal, and particularly- I dreadad both hysptlic patients and their I friends. During otic period of t lie cpidc-: j mic, this day was scarcely less the cause j of panic than the disease, itself. 1 The number of (tenths on the tilth day j | could not have been fewer than thirty per cent. The seventh was the day of the! next, greatest mortality. Those who sur- I vived the ninth day generally recover [ed. | Grand Buitei.o Hunt in the West.— I j A company has been organized to start | from St. Cloud, Minnesota, on the sth of Mime,'for the great buffalo ranges on the j | Red, Shugensiu and James rivers. The ] ! buffalo ranges are about 150 miles west of | St Cloud, and constitute the finest tract of country in the northwest. The route lies [ llirouuh a beautiful section of country.— Probably there will never be another so ; favorable an opportunity to indulge iu the I grandest sport ever seen on the continent. The renewed chief of the Chippewa na | tion Holc-in-the-Day, and twelve <sf his | braves, several Pembica gentleman-, and I Pierre Bottineau, guide to Stevens’ Pa cific Railroad expedition, will accompany the party. The Growing Crops of Maryland.— The Princess Anne Union states that the cherry and peach trees in that county are in bloom. Many of the peach tress, how ever, were killed by tiie severe winter.— The Catoctin Whig gives a cheering ac count of tiie wheat in Frederick county, while the St. Mary’s Beacon reports a gloomy prospect for tiie grain crop in that region, and in several of the lower coun ties, on account of late seeding. In Prince George’s county, the tobacco plants are said to be nearly ruined b.y tiie drought. It lifts been officially ascertained that forging and counterfeiting certificates or; warrants for bounty land, to defraud both ! the public and the government, lias been j extensively practiced ; anddqabfsarearigrj inn whether this is an offence for'Yvhieh punishment can be inflicted under the ex : istinglaws.

Dk'ar Colonel: —In traveling over the State hunting delinquent suberibers have you ever found a house with a hog pen! in front of it, an unsightly wormfenceround a door-yard eovered with chips, and a spout protruding through the side of the house, to carry dish-water to the road, forming a pool for therefreshment of travelers? If! you haViit, y‘6ii hate llot te'en the whole world by a long shot, neither have you seen the whole Stateof Ohio; for even in j this enlightened da'y, with the full efful gence of the intellectual sun beaming on ns, there are dark corners where such ; things exist. If the hog pen is riot direct-! j iy iii front of the house, it is so near that! ; its doors neutralize all offensive smells from | the dwelling, and it's inmates are the first j to welrioinu every visitor, by their hoggish Igrunt. Not a gate, nor even a pair of bars; but tenants and visitors have to i practice gymnastics by leaping a rickety i fence at the risk of their clothes, saying nothing'of their lives; a door-yard full of chips, if nothing worse, with a pool ofdish i water in close -pTbxiinity, filled ‘with pota -1 toe skins, cabbage leaves,'arid'other refuse of the kitchen, ’these offer the only charms | that make these homes d'eKgri'tfii!. ; Now t hat are the effects, the conseq'fieri ecs of such a home? Association from the mind and the man. Children brought up I iu such a place have no taste for the beau tiful, but their minds, habituated to loath someness, becomes themselves loathsome, tlier habits filthy and theft ‘flitttrnc s dis gusting. Flow different from those whose first' breath draw in the fragrance of the rose and the honey-suekje that climb around whose first vision was east on a fine lawn stretching around the house! How every! sense is regaled and cultivated, the sight 1 with lawn and flowers, the smell with the fragrance, the hearing with the chirp of the robin and the limriuiiiig'of the bird, as they revel iu their flowery paradise, and the f .clings and taste with the surround ings of the b autiful. Home lias a charm for them found nowhere else. The ha'rsh asperities of nature arc softened, the heart is moulded by the association to love and melody. I will defy, alovertof children, birds and flowers, to lie a badman. The heart that can appreciate and love tlieiri is too fine and refined a texture to entertain a bad motive, or to prompt a bad action. Low. gross and sensual actions, are the results of low, gross and sensual associations in infancy and youth. If parents then would have their chil dren beautiful, respected and in telligent, so let them make home beauti ful and lovely. L. V. B. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL. Cou.xcn. Chamber. Atlanta.
