Like its predecessors, it is a valuable number, containing much interesting, and for the broker and merchant, important information. Democratic National Committee. The Democratic National Convention, or dered that a Committee of one, from .each State be appointed to promote the Democratic cause, and to be the “Democratic National Committee,” with power to fill vacancies. In looking over the list of these appoint ments, we were pleased to see that Georgia, on this Committee, is represented by W. K. De GRAFFENRIED, Esqr., of Macon. The appointment is an excellent one, if zeal, ability, influence and devotion to the demo cratic cause, be deemed pre-requisites for the discharge of the important duties of the Com mittee. Southern Masonic Female College. The Annual commencement of thia College' will lie on the 24th inat. The Rev. Dr. Talmage, of Oglethorpe Uni' versity, will on the 22d (Tuesday) preach the commencement sermon. The Junior exhibition will come oil'on Mon day the 23d ; after which, the oration before the two literary societies, will be delivered by our fellow-citizen. Col. Luthrr'J. Glenn. The exercises of the College, are of themselves, al ways attractive ; but a knowledge of the fact' on the part of our citizens, that to Col. Glenn has been assigned the honor of delivering the address to the societies of that Institution, will draw from our city and its vicinity to Coving ton, a number of persons. The selection was an excellent one, and we anticipate great pleas ure in hearing the address. The annual address will be delivered on Tues day, the 24th, by David Clopton, Esq., Fust Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of Alabama. 40“ The New Orleans Delta, of Friday, says : ■•We were handed last night a full blown cotton boll which was brought from a planta tion uear Havana by a gentleman who arrived r cntly from that city. It is very beautiful, , . fine textured, strong and long stapled.— ,ue locks hang fully six inches from the boll. As a proof of the capability of the soil for cottou-growiug, it is really a curiosity. It is possible that the acclimitiaation of the seed of this cotton in the United Statcswouldmake a ; WANTED, A, 'WKSEJXSLIj'S?' “Few Americana Left.” We find the following in a late number of the Columbus Times & Sentinel. The remark of one of the gentlemen. John A. Jones Esq., —than whom the American Party’s” roll does not oontain the name of a more popular, talented, and patriotic gentle man, and one that promises to be an ornament to his native State— that, "they would find very few Americans left," after the Democratic Party acted, is a very significant one, and will, doubtless, so be considered by the reader. “ About thirty persons attended the meet ing of the American party, at Temperance Hall, on the night of the 12th Inst., in this city. Wm. Dougherty, Esqr., moved that the meeting adjourn, in consequence W the small attendance, until Saturday night, the 14th.— Joyn A. Jones, Esqr., hoped that the meeting would adjourn to Friday night. He thought it important that the American party should take som action before the Democratic party acted as it was more thaa propable that after that action was had they would find very few Americans left. The motion of Mr. Dough erty prevailed and the meeting adjourned.” Col. John W. H. Undeiwood, at Cin cinnati. It was this gentleman, we perceive, who pre sented the name of Governor Johnson to the Convention, at Cincinnati, as a candidate for the Vice Presidency. He did so in the follow ing eloquent language. “Mr. Underwood of Georgia—Mr. President: Since the government was established, Georgia has had but three Cabinet or executive offices in the Government. Her recent brilliant tri umphs for the Democracy, give some claims to be considered in the choice of the candidate for the second office in the Government. I will, therefore, present the name of one of her sons who, in two of the severest political battles ever fought in the State, bore with his stalwart arm and dauntless heart the flog of Democracy to glorious victory; that man who has met one of the fiercest and most dangerous factions that ever raised its grim front in the land, and sent it howling back to its den. I propose the name of Herschel V. Johnson. [Loud applause.] Ratification Meeting at Macon. On Saturday last, the “ Macon Telegraph ” informs us, a meeting to ratify the nominations made at Cincinnati was held at that place. It was, says the “Telegraph,” though not “a very large one,” yet one “ among the best tem pered, best satisfied, most jovial and genial meetings,” the Editor ever saw. The meeting was presided over by Col. Hen ry G. Lamar, who, says the “ Telegraph,” “not only, (as the Secretary represents) gave a rapid and interesting review of the public services of Mr. Buchanan, (who, for some time, occupied a seat next to Mr. Lamar in tho House,) but he also closed with a most earnest appeal for union in the South and in Georgia on the ticket and platform, and earnestly deprecated in advance any course of procedure calculated to embar rass or hinder such a result. Let uS said he, say with Gov. Troup, ‘a union of the South for the sake of the South and the Constitution.’ ” The resolutions were from the able pen.of P. Tracy, Esq., late Editor of the Telegraph, and breathe the true spirit of democracy. The Telegraph adds, “Mr. Gresham, an old line whig, showed unanswerable reasons for a full and cordial co-operation of all parties, and gave in his unqualified adhesion to the ticket and platform. It will be seen he is among the delegates to the Convention. Mt. Davis the “American” representative to the last Legisla ture from this county, was present with a lull determination to sustain the nominations.” Addresses were also delivered by the lion. A. H. Chappell, and Col. Bass, the latter ma king to the audience an urgent appeal “to bury disensions and come up ns a baud of brothers in behalf of the ticket, the Constitution and the Union.” Pass Him Round. We copy from the Federal Union, at Mill edgeville, the following tribute to worth, in the person of one of the proprietors and editors of that paper. We knew’Mr. Barnes'from the first day, al most, that he put his foot in Milledgeville, and we can bear testimony to the truth of what his compeers say of him. Well does he merit the complimentary notice below ; and as his success in life is to be attributed to his industry, sobri ety, and integrity, we trust the press “ will pass him round” as one whose example as a "Jour’’ is worthy of imitation. From the Federal Union. One of the Printers. Mr. Barnes, one of the Proprietors of this paper, left this city Thursday last, to visit his friends and relatives in a distant State, and view again the scenes of his early manhood, after an absence of sixteen years. He came to this city in October 1840. and took a situation as journeyman in this office; and from that time to this he has never left his post; step ping from journeyman to foreman, and then Proprietor. He has never lost u day from his duties by sickness or pleasure, during the six teen years—always to be found at his post, from early dawn to a lute hour of the night.— A great number of apprentices have learned their trade under him, and he did not consider that his duty was done by them, unless they could put up, in good order. 1200 m's per hour —do any kind of a job, on hand or power press, and keep sober. One of his apprentices, after , serving out his time, and entering the world on | his “own hook,” as a “jour,” often met with | dissipated and worthless printers, who made every effort to seduce him into their practices was asked by one of them where he learned his trade ; he hud never met such a sober printer before, and wanted to know where he was trained. The "jour " replied, •• I learned my trade with a man who always tried to impress ou his apprentices, two important points of success— industry to get a good trade, and sobriety to make it profitable." The State printing, just finished at this office, has been done mostly by young meu who learned their trade under Mr. B.; and we doubt very much whether any other four men. could be found, who would do the same amount of work in the same time, without getting *• on a burst," sev eral times during the progress of the work. We hope our associate may find in this tem porary release from his arduous labors, both pleasure and bodily improvement. (■Corporal Manning, ot the U. S. A., was “mt by a sentinel at Fort Myers, a few days ago. He was attempting to pass the sentinel on his hands and knees, and failing to answer THE CHEAPEST POLITICAL AND NEWSPAPER IN TH SOOTH—A WEEKS “Iff ANT A, GEORGIA, THURS Henry Clay- What. Henry Clay thought of “ Fusion,” and the “ Fusionists” of the North, ns well as the Whig Party in reference thereto. may' be known by a perusal of the following-which we take from the “-New York Daily News." Henry Clay on Fusion. The following is an extract from a speecn delivered by Henry Clay, in the House oi Rep resentatives of Kentucky, Nov. 19, 1850, now 'both applicable and of interest: “ But if it (the Whig party) is to be merged into a contemptible Abolition party, and il Abolitionism is to be engrafted upon the Whig creed, from that moment I renounce the party and cease to be a Whig. Igo yet a step fur ther : If I am alive, 1 will give my humble support*to that man for the Presidency who, to whatever party he may belong, is not con taminated by fanaticism, rather Phan one who, crying out all the time t-at he is a lug, maintains doctrines utterly subversive of the Constitution and Union.” Now, after a perusal of the foregoing, who can doubt, were that gallant leader of the old Whig Party, still in the land of the living, what position he would now occupy in reference to the Presidential election. Henry Clay, be it remembered, was eminently national in his views. Factions and factionists, he avoided as one would an adder in his path ; and “ doc trines subversive of the Constitution and the Union," such as have been recently, and arc now advanced, would have been unpardonable political sins, and would have excited in him the fiercest opposition. No one can doubt this, when he reads the declaration made by him before the Legislature of Kentucky, that he would give his “ humble support to tin t man for the Presidency, who, to whatever party he may belong, is not contaminated by fanaticism, rather than to one who, crying out that he is a Whig, maintains doctrines subversive of the Constitution and the Union " I How patriot ic the sentiment! How like Henry Clay, and how unlike those who cry aloud that they are Whigs, but who have gone into organizations whose avowed objects are destruction of the Constitution, and destruction of the domestic institution of slavery in the South ! Will any man, in the South, have the hardi hood to deny that this is true of the “Black- Republicans” of the anti-slavery States ? Will he deny it, of the mad fanatics there, who cast aside all policy, and openly declare themselves abolitionists, and claim it, as a virtue, that they do so ? And will any one deny that the “A merican Party” of the free States, to say the least of it, is divided into two factions, one of which only tolerates, while the other, and lar ger faction, like the Black Republicans and avowed abolitionists, are opposed to slavery and to jts continuance, or existence in the States? We think not! Where, then, the question naturally occurs, would Henry Clay, were he now alive, be in the present presiden tial contest? Would he vote for Banks, the candidate of that faction of the “ American Party,” who entertain the doctrines of, and whose designs are identical with Black Repub licanism ? Would he sustain Millard Fillmore, the candidate of another faction of “Americans,'’ and whoso party is divested of all nationality* its Southern adherents indentified with its Northern, only in one important particclar, and that particular a war upon foreigners and catholics? To the memory of that illus trious man, it is an insult so to suppose.— Where then would he be in the contest’ if we do not place him among those, who, un contaminated by fanaticism are maintaining the “Constitution and the Union.” 7hink of this,, Whigs; think of this “Amer icans,” of Georgia. Henry Clay wus no fu sionist; Henry Clay, above all, was opposed to the fanaticism that now threatens the Souih and the Union” 1 For the Atlanta Examiner. • Know-Nothingism. Know Nothingism is the exciting cause of the bloody violence which now threatens the very existence of the American Republic. The slavery sensation is the fire-brand in the breast of Northern fanatics, and Know Noth ingism, in the disguise of patriotism, is insidi ously augmenting this burning ire, inflated to madness by the unbrotherly, and unkind, and uii-magnanimous principles it is striving to force upon the people. The fuel of religious hatred is added to the indignation of its awful warfare upon our government and institutions ; and when it is apparent, that in all its move ments the South has been prejudicially affected, how can true Constitutional Union meu longer shut their eyes to the fact, and suffer Know Nothingism and Black Republicanism to over whelm the country with anarchy and ruin. B. For the Atlanta Daily Examiner. Kickafoo City, Kansas, May 27,1856. Mu. J. H. Steele, Dear Sib : As I was re quested by a great many friends in Georgia to let them hear from me when 1 got to Kansas, 1 have concluded to let them hear from me through the “ Examiner,” if you will allow me that privilege. 1 will, also,.give a description of the country as far as I "have seen it. I will say to my friends in Georgia, that I had a very pleasant journey out here; and that I am well pleased with Kansas—that I found it a better country than I anticipated finding it. lam stopping in Kickapoo City, a pleas ant little town, beautifully situated on the Mis souri River, something over 500 miles above St. Louis. Mo., and is surrounded by the rich est and. most fertile country 1 have ever seen. The Kickapoo lands are the finest in the Ter ritory. I will venture to. say that if I had a arm of 500 acres of Kickapoo land located in the vicinity of Atlanta, that I could readily sell it for SSO per, acre for it certainly is the richest land in the world. This is no exaggeration, but is. if anything,ratherur-'lerrated. Ofcourse. society is not as good here as we could wish, but I verily believe that it is better in Kansss . than in any other Territory in the Unted States; for 1 find the “Border RuSans,” like all true Southern men, to be brave, ■ honest, warm-hearted, and clever fellows. This UIR.C olition fanatics that have settled beie. " her, are continually disturbing the peace, and heap-1 ing up insult against, the pro-slavery party.— 1 They swear that they will resist the laws”<4 tbe'Tcrritory unto death—that they had rather' obey the laws of hell, than to obey the laws of Kansas.' ■ This shows their stamp mid charac ter very plainly. True and honest Southern Rights men are very much needed here now.— Can’t the South send out a few thousand more ? Will she stand still and see her brave sous d.uj.-\:i - nl i--. d arid ■ i'! Such has been the case here. Bl I believe the majority, here, now, are right on the ‘G. Q.” This is encouraging. Jr. Steele, sir, while working on the Exam iner last winter, I made the : cquaintan.e of ti great many of the youngs people of Atlanta, several of whom I saw as 1 came on here.— They requested me to be certain to write to them, whether I wrote to any one else or not i aud as it is impossible for me to write to all who requested me to Ivrite to them, I ask them to accept of this as though it was addressed to them. I would be pleased io hear from any o f hem at any time, if they sec proper to write’ —my address is Kickapoo City, Kansas. Yours, very respectfully, JAMES W. ANDERSON. Tlie Old Line Wigs and the Dem, ocratic Nuniinatiosn* The :. t. Louis Republican, by far the most influential whig paper published west of the Alleghanies, endorses the nomination of Buch anan aud Breckinridge. It says : “ The fact cannot be disguised that, when the nominations were announced here respec tively, they appeared to give universial satis faction. This expression of approbation, com ing from men of all parties, was probably heightened in view of the critical daugers with which our country is threatened, and the pub blic mind felt, that, in a great national council moderation had'characterized their proceedings and men of national and conservative views had been selected., “ Immediately on the receipt of despatches announcing' the nominations, the Nationa Democratic Central Committee ordered one hundred and one guns to be fired as a mark of their cordial and enthusiastic approbation of the platform, and appreciation of the sound statesmanship and reliable character of the nominees. “ The platform adopted by the Cincinnati Convention has already been spread before our readers, and in its details is certainly broad enough to satisfy every taste, save that, black republican sentiment whicn casts its fortune upon the agitated seas of political strife upon a single plank, and the proscriptive tenents of of the know nothings. “ It is not our purpose now to take up the seperate measures enunciated by the convention and discuss them. At another time we shall do so. It is sufficient for us to state that we believe them to be founded in wisdom, and adapted to the times and circumstances by which we are surrounded. “We could not say less; and if our opinion is a matter ol any importance, the public are welcome to it, at the same time reserving to ourselves the right to act as we may think most conducive to the prosperity of the whole country. The old line whigs are rallying, and their influence will be felt somewhere in the present distracted state of political parties ; and it is necessary to say that it will be where the country most needs a friend.” Laws of Honor. A young French officer, of noble birth, quar tered in a garrison town, had been guilty of some neglect of duty, for which he was tried by a court martial, and sentenced to short imprisonment. After the expiration of his sentence, he had to report himself to the com mander in Chief, who gave him a reprimand, to which he added some well intended paternal advice. The high mettled young officer be came so much exasperated as to forget all milita ry subordination, and to insult his commander by the most opprobrious language. The high ly estimable old man replied with a faltering voice: “ You see I tremble from agitation and old age. There was a time when my nerves as well as my siniews, were strangers to such weakness; but 1 have a son that will resent this insult.” At his father’s request, the sou arrived from a far distant part of the realm.— He challenged and wounded the young officer severely. Scarcely had he r from bis .ound when the challenge was renewed.— "You have insulted my father, and I demand utisfaction.” “The severe wound which you gave me ought to satisfy you. But since you insist on it: this time pistols.” Fortune again decided against the young officer, who received the ball of his antagonist. When recovered the son called again. Sir,you have insulted my old father, and demand satisfaction.” - It seems difficult to satisfy you,” replied the officer. “I now demand twenty four hours time to consider of the matter. To morrow, at this hour, you shall have my answer.” In the meantime the young nobleman con vened the superior officers of the garrison, submitted his case to them, and asked whether the laws of honor required that he should ac cept challenge after chhllenge, until one or both were killed ■■ Have you ever made on apology to the old gentleman whom you insulted ?” inquired an old Captain of the line. ••I have not,” replied the young officer. “This,” said the Captain, "ought to have been your first step. This honor required of you. ' Lose nut a moment, but do so at once." The young noblemen followed the advice : he called on the commander, and found bis son in the same room. He made the necessary | apology, and was forgiven, "Here is my hand, huicitorward we are friends." “ All this is very well, replied tljp young | nobleman; “but why the deuce did you not I inform me at once what you required, with out giving me two severe wounds. “ That was not my business. It was my; father who had been insulted—he alone could ] forgive you.” The news of the dismissal of Mr. Uramp-.on and the three British C. un-u!s, w'r.h the recog nition of the independence of Central America by the United States, had been three days in.
