THE CHEAPEST POLITICAL AND NEWS PAPER IN THE SOUTH.—A WEEKLY FIHESIDE COMPANION FOR ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Cotton, Wheat, and Corn.
The news by the last Steamer, tire Africa, is
both bad and good. Good for the speculators
in Wheat, bad for the Cotton grower, and con
sumers of the country.
The decline in the price of Cotton iselarmmg
to holders, and we fear it will get no better.—
Nor do we believe that the advance in Wheat
and Corn will benefit, to any great extent, the
the producer, while it will enhance largely their
cost to tlie consumer. This is, indeed, bad
news. With a corn and wheat crop unsurpass
ed since Georgia was a State, we arc ndw com
pelled to pay prices for flour that no man dream
ed of three months ago ; and yet there is, to use
a trading term, an “u&a»dant supply in the mar
ket. The cause of all this, is said to be the
European Market—the failure of crops on the
eastern continent, and in England, and the war
ith Russia. Tliismay be trueto some extent.
But, in our opinion, speculation is the main
cause. Theamoimt of capital invested in the
purchas of the bread stuffs of the country, is,
from all accounts, immense. Capitalists and
their agents have recklessly traversed Georgia.
Tennessee, aud ull the western States, buying at
all sorts of prices, and there is now a. monopoly
almost of the fruits of the last harvest What
is to be the end, who can say ?
A remedy for so great ancvil—one so oppres
sive to the poor—should be provided. But in
what it shall consist, we are to say.
We trnst, however, that the time is not distant
when wise and good men, will devise some
means, by which a monopoly by capitalists bf
the breadstuffs of America, will be effectually
debarred. If our city authorities have the right
to assess tlfo price of bread, why may not legis
lative action be invoked to suppress an evil far
' greater iu extent than that of a baker's loaf be
ing deficient a halfor a quarter of an ounce in
weight"? ' The principle involved is the same.

Inauguration Ball at Milledgeville.
We perceive from the Milledgeville papers,
that the “ inauguration Ball" will be given at
N.eiyeH’s Hall, op Wednesday night, the 7th-
Inst. Iu announcing, it, the *• Federal Union ’’
properly remarks, that “thepresence aud wealth
of Southerners have profusely addedrfo the gay
oties of Newport, Saratoga, and New York, let
them "now come to the festive occasions of our
.Southern cities, aud these will be, if not the
emporiums of bommcrco and trade, the metrop
olis of refinement, pleasure, and elegance.”
We trust that this call of our cotemporary
at Milledgeville, will not pass by unheeded.—
Thousands are miliually spbnt to attend a mas
querade, nr imiey ball, slant places, and in
distant States, by yur own cltizuua. Will they
pass by the festive occasion at their owu Capital

Ho I for Kansas!
We received ou yesterday a letter from one
of our subset ibers at Waverly, iu the State of
Missouri, ftoin which we extract the following:
“Again (says the writer) wako your people

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2. 1855.
The foregoing is an appeal we trust will not
be resisted anywhere in the South, but particu
larly in Georgia. In Columbus wo rejoice to
see that a meeting waa to be bold there on yes
terday to organize a Kansas Emigrant Aid So
ciety, for tho county of Muscogee. Can we not
organize one for the county of Fuiton? We
know several persons who design emigrating to
Kansas, from this county, early in January.—
There are others who would gladly go, but re
quire aid. Let us wake up .to this matter, for
in it is involved a principle dear to every South
ern heart, and deeply affecting all our interests!
What say the people of Fulton ?
Seward and Black Republicanism Again.
Slavery is not. and never can be, perpetual.
It will be overthrown either peacefully and law
fully under this constitution together with its
own overthrow. Then the slaveholders would
perish in the struggle. The change can now be
made without violence, and by the agency ol
the ballot-box. The temper of the nation is
just, liberal, forbearing. It will contribute any
money and endure any sacrifices to effect this
great and important change; indeed, it is hall
made already. The House of representatives
is already yours, as it always must be when you
choose to have it The Senate of the United
States is equally within your power if you only
will persistently for two years to have jt Net
withstanding all the wrong that has been done,
not another slave State can now &me into the
Union. Make only one year's constant decisive
effort,and you con detetmine what State shall
be admitted."
In his Albany speech that arch abolitionist
Senator Seward, used the foregoing significant
language. We invite the attention of every
Southern man, irrespective of party to it As
the Washington Union properly remarks, it is
Mr. Seward’s ultimatum — the ultimatnui, in
fact, of every free-soiler, or abolitionist in dis
guise. How confidently this cuemy of the South,
and greut leader of Black Republicanism, as
serts—" Slavery is not, and can never be, per
petual” l And again, “It will be overthrown
either peacefully and lawfully under this Con
stitution, or it will work the subversion of the
Constitution together with its own overthrow" ! ■'
And still again, he says,—“THEN THE
SLAVEHOLDERS WOULD PERISH IN
THE STRUGGLE”!!
What a solemn warning is this to the people
of the South, the whole South 1 Who does not
see that the purpose of the abolitionists and
free-soilers; of black republicans and fanatics;
is a fixed one, aud that their stride is a rapid out
towards a subversion of the Constitution? To
guard against this to whom can the South
aside from her stern determination to maintain
her rights, or perish in the struggle—look for
success or for countenance and aid ? Can she
fook to*Northern Know Nothings, Northern
Whigs? No sane man. South of Mason aw'
Dixon's line, will presume to say that she can

Douglas, Dodge, Richardson, aud a host like
them, in the West and in the North. There »
uo disguising the fact from the jicople of the
South, that no where else beyond the limits of
the Anti-slavery States can they look for tin
maintenance of their rights under the Constitu
tion. With such an ally, we bid defiance, in
the name of the South, to Seward and his
satellites —to black republicanism and abolition
in atl its hideous shapes. And when our Nor
thern, and gallant ally is overthrown—whicl
God grant may never be—then will the South
rely upon her owu strong arm and stout heart,
for the maintenance of her rights. She moi.
perish in the struggle, but if she does, the victors
of the fight will rue theday the battle was fought
so long as time with them shall be. Gt then
look to it, and let them do their work ! It will
be one of blood, and we believe it to be the hopi
of every man iu the South, that, if it must come
the sooner the better. We prefer fighting it
ourselves, rather than to leave so bloody a leg
acy to our children.
Know-Nothing Democrats.
There are doubtlesa (says the North Carolina
Standard) still some democrats who linger iu
the know-nothing ranks—democrat who, in m>
unguarded hour, were induced to connect them
selves with the Order, and who regret it, anti
would be glad to be once more in lull commun
ion with their former party associates. To all
such we say, break the bonds that are upon
you, and coine back to the old democratic party.
What can you promise yourselves, and what
can you do for your country, by remaining
where you are? You perceive, as we all do,
that the k, n. organization was not needed—
lliut it has failed iu all the Southern States—
that it is hopelessly fused and abolitionized iu
the free States—and that, as a national organ
ization, it uo longer exists. The old democrat
ic party is after all, the only true national
American party. The records of all our past
history prove this, and the future is full ofhop.
for the country through this same old party.—
Come back, then, those of you who have beet,
deceived, and who have honestly gone astray,
and the democracy will receive you with open
arms. The great contest of 1856 will soul
commence. Hauge yourselves at once undei
the democratic banner, and among your old
friends, and aid us in achieving a victory for
the Constitution, the Union, and the rights ol
the South. “ 'Tarry not in all the plain,'’ but
escape now to the mountain democracy, all will
be well. Do this, and in November, 1856, al
ter the buttle shall have been fought and wou.
each of you can say, “1 too assisted in achieving
this great victory, by which the rights_ of my
section have been shielded and the Union oi
these States preserved.'' — Nashville Union.

tec.
Most sensible people possess a “ matter-ol
fact ” way of explaining all events around them,
have now sometuing a different nature to en
counter which is tally recorded in the letter
connected with these remarks. It appears that
that age of credulity is not quite complete, when
money-seekers ami trailieing burgo-mastere were
supposed to have dealt with “ night riders ol
the air; or dwarfish witches knocking about on
moon beams—when elongated shadows and
daucing vapors were ominous of disasters too
porteutious to be neglected, or, when, indeed,
tho spirits of the unseen world Were firmly
regardedis holding superstitious sway over the
humble plodders of the visible humanity iu their
multitudinous transactions of lite. If there be
an iudependeut class of thinkers who pretend to
disregard the utter uon-existeuee o( supernatu
ral agency, who sincerely believe that ghosts
and the unmoral relics ol dead people are not
intimately connected with earth after the first
separation—or that the Mormon Bible is to be
the last of books claiming to be given to map
from a spiritual origin, let them study uud ex
plain, in a sensible manner, the mystery uaifa
ted in this letter. It is enough for us to learn
that a heretofore sober aud peaceable people,
whose position is candidly given below, aiq
strangely carried away, giving up the ordinary
pursuite of life to follow the teachings of a new
religion—to believe that something out of the
usual course of nature has broken upon them
with a singular influence which is certainly wor
thy of patient research aud plausible explana

Blue Mountain, P. 0.. Oct. 3,1855.
Messrs. Crandall if Cooper,
Gentlemen :—Lt is several weeks since I
passed through your place on my way to the
mountains fur health aud summer recreation.—
Following the old foggy advice of au uncle of
mine, 1 have penetrated far from the common
course of summer travel, to try the influence of
mountain air aud the vicissitudes of a hunter’s
camp for a lew weeks, —aud to note my experi
ence, 1 can affirm that never have days and
weeks sped so rapidly,, or been interlaced with
more spicy adventure, than those which have
been allotted me since arriving at my rude cab
in in the lofty Alleghauies. Before leaving
Blue mountain lor the city, 1 shall write you
partial sketches of my hunting excursions,
should the proposal suit your taste aud lavur,
but for the present, 1 have another theme which
lias impressed my fancy, aud partakes su much
of the marvelous that I feel 1 shall do the world
a deed oi gratitude to send you the facia as
they have taken form; although iu discharging
this duty, I may call down upon my head tue
cognomon ol "devil tattler,’ irorn wise philos
upuers who flomisb so naturally m American
soil.
Not ten miles from the spot where R ,
C uud myself have our " homestead,
lies a veritable viuage, iu a rich valley, culled
bpouuviile G. H., Hum its jieeuhar locality. Il
contains three taverns, one store, two groceries,
oue apothecary, four attorueys-ut-law, one school'

viile, comes now uud tueu to baud, uud u cum
meudabie curiosity convenes the pnucipai ureu
of tue place, at diuse advents, wuicu alone are
me owy causes ol couveuuou uud expectation.

scription ol the lowu uud its puuprc, where

transpired, wuicli 1 Have guUiertd trout time to
time, when vtsiuug that section lor supplies such
os our iMuuutaiu leUcUt could out turuish. It
is stated that two udd-tavuixd men- witu long
beards uud uucovered heads, were found iu a
peculiar hut near the village a lew weeks smee,
out how they came there, or from wueuee uu
one can tell. No person saw them eu tue gen
eral Utorougbfai'es, or, in the by-pui its knidiug
to this spot; which is iu opeu view from -n.
lUrve ol tue taverns, aud what is mure uuuccuuul
ubie, the manner of their daily sustenance, iu a
worldly sense, is a mystery—so much so, that,
alter sage consideration, me town has settieu
into the beiiel that, their uuexplaiuuble presence
aud existence coulirm 4 more iu tue upuuou ot
Miiir supreme origin. The lirst aud the iasi
uupressiou is, two reverential aud harmless men,
m loose rubes, with grey beards uud long hair,
dwel. iu then- midst, lunocent are they auu
saintly in then' intercourse. Their hut rests
against a large rock in tue side oi tue hid auu
au ancient growth of trees shades it from the
sun. M ithiu the cabin aud iu the rock is a
cavity of lesser capacity iu which they deposit
curious instruments lor writing, and suiah
packages of dark yellow paper, Held together
oy clasped boards; these with a moderate size
oiazeu box, with a continuous hiuge ou the
back, aud au enormously dispropurUoued lock
to secure the ltd, record the enure couteuts oi

told iu two common benches—uo tabic—uo
place to prepare loud—uu bed or any iudtea
uous of tue usual eomforte of Uie, but simply,
two loue benches of rough plank stand ou the
bare earth.
It is not to be wondered, that die quiet and
sober citizens of Spoouville should be casting
in tuhid the purpose and destiny of such untau
gible creatures, and to arrive at the opinion
above hinted at, -their supreme origin, they
closely observed their out-goings and in-action
during the At night it was observed reg
ularly that they took a walk toward the east,
but cue moment the people attempted to follow
them. a palpable gauzy veil of haze enrapt theh
forms and they were lost to ail scrutiny. In
two hours these unfathomable men would re
turn, bearing iu their hand, a single sheet 11
tae dark yellow paper which as regularly was
placed inside the brazen chest. A feeling ol
awe so pervaded the vicinity of the hut that it
baffled ail desire of any to euter after their re
turn. For two mouths, each day introduced
the same rotine—the same retirements and the
same results. During the day light, these meu
or prophets, as they terui theuisctves, will con
verse familiarly with them, but on subjects ufa
spiritual nature. I hey say they have the mu
tton to complete before they cuu plainly enlarge
upou their present occupation —that their iabvr
is to unite the spiritual and the moral being
iuto oue holy lite which, when perfected, win
sanctify the lives of the whole world—taat a
new revelation is being made fur accomplish;.?.'
this glorious task, but mauy exegeucivs must b
met aad overcome before cue completion—that
they are uow receiving the holy word and when
tie last is given, there will be such signs a; d
mamiestat.ous as wiil sink conviction into Ua
hearts ol ail the people round about—but the
tone to not yet—that the jevelatiou made will
poo* on a Houd »fetradwt, wtai wfo
i pass by the homes of all "created iu His image,”
! who can travel if they will. Various other
I works they converse upon, and when thus en
gaged, a visible light seems to enclose their forms
I to au extent moet lovely and fascinating to be
witnessed.
By these frequent’eommpiiir.gs with the ven

and disciples, "chosen and set apart from the

other gopd men in the New Testament script

the eventful lives waiting tlrcm. So general is

Seven Years War to Come.
We have information, on which w. think full
reliance may lx? placed, that the Czar has de
clared that th l war has but just begun: that
seven years is the shortest limits which he as
igns to it. The Crimea, according to this in
formation, will be defended to the last, not with
the hope of ultimate triumph in that quarter,
but because, while the result is doubtful, France
and England must put forth ull their resources,
and make every Sacrifice for success. Russia de
fends, and will"defend, the Crimea at the least
possible cost to herself, taking advantage of all
its natural facilities for defence, compelling her
enemies to conduct the assault on the most ex
tensive scale, and involving them in enormous,
exhausting and ruinous expenses. The Czar
and his advisers believe that seven yers of war
like the past year would bankrupt both France
and England, and relieve Russia from all appre
hensions for the future. Continued war, it is
calculated, will ruin England's industrial and
eominerical interests, so intimately dependent
upon a state of peace fortheir prosperity; while
Russia, being an agriculturial country, will sim
ply be th-own back mere exclusively upon her
..wn resources, aud all these astute of active
war will develope.
But wc believe ’bat the world willsoon be startled
by the bold measures which Russia will adopt;
Hitherto England has claimed to regulate and
control tla* dominion of the seas, and it will not
take us by surprise if a proclamation should
soon appear from the Czar Alexander, announc
ing Russia’s adhesion to the doctrine of entire
freedom of the seas—free trade everywhere—in
the Black sea, in the Baltic, in the Mediterran
ean, and in short in ali public waters connected
with the great oceans. New York Sun.
The Bene Plant.
We make the following extract of a letter
from a correspondent of the Patent Office, dated
Monroe, Washita parish, Louisians, which is
held in the publication in the f. rthcomeing
agricultural report. It trects of the “bene”
plant, from which oil of a pure quality is pro
duced in great abundance:
In 1843 I sent sixteen bushels of seeds o ' the
bene plant (sesamum oricntalc) to a mill in
Cincinnati to the manufactured into oil. It
yielded thirty-nine gallons of clear oil, and about
five quarts of refuse oil, or about two and a half
gallons to the bushels.
In cosequence of the mill imparting the fla
vor of flax seed, I could not ‘use it as a salad
oil, for which purpose I am confident it would
be superior, w lieu pure, to the adulterated iuqior
ted olive oil. 1 used it, however, as a substitute
for castor oil, and gave a considcrble quonity
of it awav for that purpose. All who used it
praised it highly, both for its gently purgative
eflcct and from being free from the nauseous
taste peculiar to castor oil.
I cannot state with certainty how much seed
this plant will produce tg the acre, but be
lieve taat twenty bushels is a moderate esti
mate.
he leaf of theplant’is an excellent remedy for
bowel complaints inchildern, and also in adults
For this purpose, two or three leaves arc
put in a tumbler of water, which they imme
diately render mucilaginous, but impart no
dfeagreeabk taste. The negroes cultivate it
for iocd, using the parched seeds with their
meats.
1 consider it so useful that a few stalks at
least should be raised in every garden. . And
I belive it will soon be extensively cultivated
manufacturing oil, yielding, as it does, about a
gallon to a bushel more than flax-seed.
I doubt whether it will mature well north
of latitude 36 degrees. It should be planted
as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Poor
land is best suited to its production, as it bran
ches too much in rich soil, because the pods are
mure iikelv to shatter from the branches than
Tom a single upright stem.—The seeds should
oe planted in drills three feet apart, and six in
ches distant along the drills.

ITUe Platform of tlie iiimuis.foe
mocracy.
Resolved, Tiiat the constitution of the United
States is apolitical contract between the peo
ple or independent sovereignties, which beetows
paramounnt authority to the extent of the pow
ers delegated, but leaves those not delegated to
the States respectively, or to the people; that a
vigilant guard against the centralization of these
powers is essential to the preservation of our
taatitutiou . aud that by the instrument Con
■Keatttaw no power, express or implied, toestab
jisli.eirprohibit slavery in tlie Status of Terri
tbries.
Resolved, Tiiat we reaffirm the time-honored
principles of the democracy, and wc believe that
the onlyaure guarantee for the public tranquil
ity is a' strict adherence to the provisions ol the
constitution upon the subject ol slavery, apply
ing alike to the States and Territories, olweiv
ed in the passage of the compromise measures
of 1850, and confirmed in the Kansas and Ne
braska act, the corollary of the former measure
by which Congress have declared that it is their
“true intent aud meaning not to legislate sla
very into any State or Territory, but to leave
people thereof free to form and" regulate their
domestic institution in their own way, subject
only to the constitution of tlie United States,”
and that wo do pledge ourselves to resist the
repeal, amendment or modification of the com
promises of 1850, including the fugitive slave
and the Kansas and Nebraska act of 1854, as
we hold that they are wise and just measures,
aud should be maintained undisturbed for the
preservation of the national peace aud the
Union of the States.
Resolved, That the ednst tution of the Uni-
States is founded upon the fundamental princi
ples of entire and absolute equality among all
the States of this Union, and it is not compe
tent for the Congress of any other power to im
pose upon new States coming into the Union
any condition or restriction in respect to their
domestic institutions or internal concerns which
the federal constitution has not imposed upon
the original States; and that any effort on the
part of Congress or any other power to violate
this principle should lie met and resisted by all
good citizens as an attempt to trample upon
the constitution aud destroy our glorious
Union.
Resolved, That all men have a natural right
antecedent to the formation of civil society, and
beyond the control of the governments, to reli
gious freedom, the surrender of which is unnec
essary to the temporal welfare ot the State, and
cannot lie relinquished, even by the consent of
the citi »n, in a free government: that much
less can any mere party, faction, or cabal, regu
late that right by any party compact against
consent , and that we hold that the Know Noth
in r order, in the persecution and proscription ol
Catholics, have violated this cardinal principle,
and are bigoted enemies to religious liberty,
and foes to our constitution, our laws, aud our
free government.
Resolved, That we do not recognise any dis
tinction among citizens of the United States
based upon the aristocratic principle of birth,
aud we hold that it is dishonest to repudiate
the contract given by the government confer
ring all the rights, of American citizenship in
its letters ol naturalization, aud afterwards by
a party compact to debar naturalized citizens 1
from the full benefits while we leave them sab |
: ject to the full bMMeua of the agreenient
-1 Resolved, That open discussion of public af
fairs is the foundation of the intelli enee of the
! people and the safeguard of freedom ; that anv
' secret association or brotherhood for polit-
I ical objects is dangerous to free institutions, to i
the frank and manly character of u true Atner
can. and that we regard with abborewe the or
ganized falsehood and teacberous secrecy of the
Know Nothing order.
Resolved, That the recent election in the city
of Louisville was marked by the most, glaring
fraud upon the elective franchise, amid con
flagrations, murders, atal barbarities, contrary
to the character and unknown before in the his
tory of this people, the offspring of a cruel sys
tem of religions bigotr and political hatred ot
race, engendered in and executed by a secret,
oath-bound, Jacobinical society, reproducing
in America the savage scenes that stained the
supremacy of their kindred fraternities during
the French revolution.

been faithful to tue principles of the dene icru>■)
and especially deserve lie thanks of the country
for tho course pursured in relation to the Kan

Gator ircrtit Texas.
By thfc arrival of the steamship Nautilus
this morning we have Galveston pa|>ers of tlie
16th inst., from which we gather tlie following
i intelligence: .
The steamship Perscverence, from tlii port,
arrived at Galveston on Tuesday morning last.
The Galveston News publishes tlaptain C 1-
laha 's address Io the ]>eople of Texas, and
adds
Tlie San Antonio papers of the 6th and fitli
insts. have comments on this engagement. Ih'in
which we infer that the army officers have cen
sured flic conduct of the Rangers. '1 ta- Herald
says: *
Capt. Callahan and his command are stig
niatized as pirates, and that, t<x>, by those whose
duty it is to furnish our frontier protection, which
they have signally failed to do.”
The •• invas on of Mexico ” appears to have
been executed with the express |>emiissioii ol
the authorities of Mexico, and was intended to
destroy the power to do harm of Indians, who
were believed to l>e the common enemy ol both
Mexicans uud Texans. But it. appears the
Mexicans were leagued with the Indians, and
( apt. Callahan thinks the friendship manifest
ed by the Mexicans was entirely deceptive, and
intended to the annihilation ol his command.— i
According to the reports, the Mexicans and In- j
dians attempted to surround him. His own j
account represents the enemy as having dis- (
played some ingenuity iu maneuvering, aud pre-1
suiting buttle alter some system of tacticswiiieh I
we did not suppose the Indians were in the hub-1
it of pursuing. The charge of the Indians broke 1
up the plan and relieved them from a danger
ous position, causing the enemy to retreat.—
The Rangers also retreated, anticipating an at
tack from a superior force to that which they
then met.
We have no information as to bow Captain
Callahan's apjieai lor assistance was received on
the frontier, but we cannot doubt that he has
been promptly reinforced. A letter to the Sen
tinel, from Eagle Puss, speaks of the Rangers as
intending to recross the river, but it was so high 1
ami the current so rapid, that the movement was i
postponed.
IV . Jones, reported killed, is a son of Judge -
W; E. Jones, and Benton, (son of Capt. Benton, I
who was wounded) was a relative of Col. Beu- j
ton, of Missouri.
As to the expedition it will doubtless be de-1
nounced as lawless, and u subject of complaint I
by Mexico, involving negotiations. Our own |
Government may choose to prosecute the Ran
gers for violating the neutrality laws, but we
believe their conduct will be approved und jus
tified by ail parties whquwiii admit the cause of
provocation. It was not reasonable to expect
that the boundary line should be rispectesl by
Texans smarting under frequent aggressions
tram a wiley foe, whose forays and deeds of
blood the General Governnicu> has not provided
against. Neither sail nor flag should pr tcct
the savage peqxjtrators of the inbumuii deeds
which have lately beeu so frequent on the fron
tier, dud Capt. Calialiun but a' ted as the cir
cumstances required. Like Rhuderick Dhu,
"If ’twere in th<- court* of II aven
He right* his wrong* where’er they,re given.”
The Galveston Civilian, of the 16th, hus the
following article ou the frontier troubles. As
we expected, the action of the rangers in at
tempting to chastise the predatory Indians, re
ceives mil approval from the Texans:
Tue news Hom the Rto Grande, published in
the Civilian extra, is of tlie most remarkable und
interesting character, uud may possibly lead to

The Free Boilers are getting up document
wherewith to contest Whitfield s seat in Con

there were only four legal pro-slavery voters at
Franklin, while Whitfield received 61 vote
there; that out of upwards of 200 votes cas
for Whitfield at Wyandott only 30 were legal ;
that out of 230 cast at Osawatamie, not over
60 were legal; that at Baptist Mission, which
gave Whitfield over 100 votes, there were but
17 legal voters, and only 13 of them cast bal
