Cherokee wide Awake. The organs of Mr. Fillmorfl in the cities be low, are constantly misleading their readers by reports of the glorious progress of their cause in the up-country, and we know of no better means of opening the eyes of our deluded friends in Middle and Lower Georgia, than to give them the names of such changes as have come to our knowledge in favor of either Mr. Buch anan or Mr. Fillmore. Here in Cobb, Maj. Robertson, Mayor of Marietta last year; Col. N. B. Knight, present Mayor; A. D. Hammett, formerly President ■of the A A & N Telegraph Cos., N M Calder, who run for Ordinary, last January on the American ticket; and many others, all of whom were with the American party last year, are now for Buchanan. In Cherokee couuty, Dr. Foster and J L Harbin, who run for the Legislature hist year: Mr. Jordon, who was elected Ordinary against the Democratic nominee, aud Mr. Donalson, elected Sheriff in the same way, with one or two of the Dickerson’s, and several more substan <ial men whose names we do not recollect, all •of whom were zealous Americans last year, are going for Buchanan. In Pauldiug we are not ‘posted up,’ but Samuel Shcats, Esq., who run for the Legisla ture last year, on the American ticket, is a Buchanan man. Col. Chisolm of Folk, Judge T II Trippe, and Col. Lewis Tomlin, of Cass, are all support ing the democratic nominees. We might name many others, but the above who nil occupied 1-ading positions in the party, must suffice fpgj the present. We have heard of but two converts from the Anti-Know Nothing and democratic Pajt&i* fe Mr. Fillmore —Mr. R H Tatum, of Dade, ami Mr. Latimer, formerly of this place, but now in Atlanta. If any body will furnish us the names of other converts to Mr. Fillmore, we will cheerfully publish them, and give the toaraps of two changes for Buchanan to every vne Fillmore.— Cherokee. Georgian. Cater from Kansas. St. August 34. accounts from Kansas to the 20th iust., dtMrire us that LeC-omptou has -ot been vet attacked, although there was expectation of an attack by a force of one thousand men under Lane. The Free State men had fortifi ed Lawrence in cast* a retreat shall become ue esary. A call appears in this city, numerously sign ed by our most influential citizen's, for tt meet ing to consider Kansas affairs, on .Monday. . Fyur hundred volunteers have already gone from Jackson county, and large companies sire forming in other counties. Robinson and Brown are still in custody of the territorial authorities, and Gen. Percifer F. riinith has ordered all “the available strength of his eommaml to be ready for instant ser vice. Our advices from St. Louis, Mo., are to the 23d iust., and report that the late despatches from Kansas have produced great excitement in all the towns of Missouri. At Boouville measures were instantly taken, and the sum of $5,000 promptly realized to forward volunteers in aid of Governor Shannon, and in support of the laws. The same spirit prevails through the border counties so far as heard from, and many citizens of discretion and substance had offered their services to proceed to Kansas and remain until law and order are restored. Tidings of new conflicts arc hourly expected. Letters of the 11th iust., from Lawrence, K. TANARUS., state thut the fight of the 115th‘took place n ar Lecompton, and not in or against that t wn. Col. Titus and his command were taken prisoners and he badly wounded. The Free s -ilers had ten wounded and one mortally.— The proposed attack on Lecompton was pre vented bv the United States Dragoons. Gov. Shannon had gone to Lawrence and demanded release of prisoners taken by the Frewsoilers. After a conference, it was agreed to exchange prisoners, and to disperse all arm ed settlements.— Constitutionalist. Hou. Alexander H. Stephens. It will be seen from the annexed letter from Hon. J. K. Dowdell, to the Chambers Tribune that Georgia’s most distinguished son, Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, is to be at Opelika, in this State, on the Gth of September. We trust that the necessary steps will be taken to induce Mr. Stephens to extend his visit to our city. He has many and warm admirers here, who are anxious to hear him on the questions of the day :— Advertise) Gazette. W ASHINGTON, Aug. 16/ Dear Sir : I write in great haste to let you know that the lion. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, has kindly consented to address our people at Opelika, on Saturday, the 6tb day of September next. Let due pub licity be given, and the people will turn out to hear the distinguished Georgian. It is very i kely the last time that he will be able to visit our State, during the campaign. That he will be greeted by thousands, I have no doubt. Ilis high talents and #reat worth eminently entitle him to be heard in this crisis. 1 shall be at home in a few days Very Respcctfuiy, J.F. DOWDELL. Fusion in PennsylTa^^^^^^^l A correspondent of tjie (a Fillmore paper) writing from PennsymMJl 1 masts that the friends of Fillmore & Fremont in that State are generally uniting against Buchanan. He says: Having a few lidurs leisure in Chambersburg prior to the cars starting, I attended a coun try political convention being there to nominate candidates for Frankffji county. There was much excitement and a large'gathering. Two sets of delegates (Americans and Republicans) were present. They all met in the Court House,and without the slightest disputation nom inated a union ticket representing both parties, preponderating in Fillmbres proclivities. Asa general thing throughout Pennsylvania, thcsc partits—all opposing Buchanan— have there * nited or intend uniting The indications are also r cry conclusive that ‘they design affiliating at the Presidential cant at. The desire to defeat Bncbanan is so intense that they say any means will justify, the ends. Cumberland county a day or two ago also Dominated a union ticket of Americans and Re publicans to defeat democracy.* And that appears without rebuke in a Fill more organ. Americans of Georgia ! Such is the ban quet to which you are invited. Defeat Buch anan with Fillmore if you can—but by all means defeat him. The same paper has at iast taken ground openly in favor of the restoration of the Mis ronri compromise. How long before the Know Vcthm” presses of Georgia will follow shit. * . The Taylor Cabinet. The “Taylor Cabinet” was composed, as our readers will remember, of Messrs. Clayton, as Secretary of State ; Meredith, as Secretary of the Treasury ; Ewing, as Secretary of the In terior ; Crawford, as Secretary of'War ; Pres ton, as Secretary of the Navy ; Collamer, as Post Master General ; and Reverdy Johnson, as Attorney General. Every one of these gen tlemen was “an old line Whig and every one of them esteemed for his ability and patriotism. One of the positions now occupied by two of these gentlemen in the present political contest, Messrs. Meredith and Crawford, we are not advised. Os one, Mr. Collomer, there is no doubt. The Black Republicans have got him, as they should have, for we cannot forget his love for the loaves and fishes of office, so plain ly exemplified when, upon the death of Gen. Taylor, he was advised of Mr. Fillmore's in tention to supercede him by the appointment of another Post Master G eneral. But of the others, how do they stand ? Look to it, “old line Whigs of Georgia !” CLAYTON, in Delaware, where he has always been the mas ter spirit of the old Whig Party, is out for Buchanan and Breekenridge ! Ewing, in Ohio, patriotically resisting the powerful and over whelming abolition influence of that State, is out for Buchanan and Breekenridge ! PRES TON, in Virginia, is traversing that State, and from one end of it to the other, is advo cating the election of Buchanan and Brecken ridge ! And REVERDY JOHNSON, in Maryland, heart and soul, with all the power ofms eloquence and intellect, is rallying the vvmg forces of that State, to the standard of Buchanan and Breekenridge ! Is there no sign in this ? Southern Whigs, Southern vo ters, look to it well 1 Democrats, do you not see in it that which should animate you on to renewed exertions, and confirm you in your faith T Whigs, ought you not to take counsel by the way, and throwing prejudices aside, stand by the Constitution ? Americans, Know Nothings, do you not see in it defeat ? Do you not see in it a total rout of your forces, horse, foot and dragoons ?—Atlanta Examiner. o_Wc have always been at a loss to know why the pub lic looked with a more lenient eye upon the counterfeits of a popular medicine, than the counterfeit of a bank bill.— We think the crime of the former of a much deeper dye than ithe latter.

Wood’s Hail’ Restorative, for producing hair on Batd Heads, and restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color. THIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never failed to produce a growth oil Bald Heads, when used according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig. inai color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all its original health, lustre, softness, and beauty. Removes atoncoall scurf, and unpleasant itehiDg, scrofula, erup tions and feverish heat from the sculp. It also prevents the hair from becoming unhealthy and falling off, and hence acts as a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic. A gentleman of Boston writes to his friends in New Bed ford thus: To your inquires I would reply, that I first commenced using Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost white and had been so fob the last ten years, and it was very thin on the top of my head, and very loose, and pulled out freely; but I found before 1 had used all of the second bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my liair was entirely changed to its original color, (light brown) and is now free from dandruff, and quite moist. I have had my hair cut 5 or 6 times since the change* and have never seen anything like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It has prevailed in my case all that I could wish to ask. July l, 1855. Yours Ac. _ Gardiner, Maine, June 22, 1854. ’ Dear Sir.- I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say, it is the greatest discovery of the age, for restoring and changing the hair.— Before using it, I wasas gray as a man of seventy. My hair lias now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the world,without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind. D N MURPHY. St. Lons, March 7 1854. Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling oft’ some three or four years since, and continued to do so. uutill I became quite bald. I tried all the popular medicines of the day, but lo no effect. At last, I was induced to try your celebra ted Hair Restorative,and am happy to say, it is doing won ders. I have now a fine growth of ‘ young hair, aud cheer fully recommend its use to all similarly afflicted. A. C. WILLIAMS, 133 Second street. Rasin Mich., Aug. 2,1855. This is to certify, that one year ago, 1 was quite gray, and my hair so thin upon the top of my head, that I feared its entire loss. In this condition, I applied for and obtain ed a bottle of Prof. Wood’s ‘Restorative,’ and before I had used one quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disap peared and it had thickened up, so as to he full as usual and it assumed a glossy appearance, appearentlv more beautiful than ever it was before.
