ATLANTA, -GEO., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 18581 NO. 1. f be Intelligencer. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1858. Cassvllle Jtuidanl. Wo insert to-day two articles from the Cass- ville Standard, from which we percieve that <mr Democratic Cotemporary has placed him gelf right upon the record, so far as certain matters of controversy between the editor of that paper and a portion of the Democratic Tress are concerned. All right “Brother Standard,” glad to see such a dis[>osition manifested. The Late Elections. Returns from Pennsylvania, Ohio and In diana, show a Waterloo defeat to the dc- mocracy in those States. How muchsoeve r we may regret this result, we are frank to confess that the intelligence was not unexpec ted. Stephen A. Douglas has for many years lieen a favorite with the Northern Democracy. In fact, he has occupied a high position with the party generally,—North, South, East and West. His late'desertion of his former political friends has exerted a most disastrous influence in the aliove named States. John W. For ney too, has hecn a leading politician in the Democratic ranks for many years. He too has turned traitor, and contributed his in fluence to the overthrow of the party to which lie once professed allegiance. Disappointed ambition is the only cause which can be as signed for the course of these two notorious individuals. They had become soured with the national Democracy, and being unable to rule, resolved to ruin the party. They have thus far succeeded but too well. Their tri umph however will be'of short duration. Their misguided followers have not yet had time, to wake up from their delusion in thus tying on to the fortunes of these two • rratic leaders. Many of them are no doubt honest in their purposes, and when the “sober second thought,” shall have had time to open their eyes, so that they can see and understand the unholy purposes of those they now follow as leaders, they will abandon them in merited disgust, and return to their allegiance to the true Democracy. 'This is not the first time our party has lieen slain by the treachery of those in whom they had confided. 'The same fate awaits Douglas and Forney as has befallen those, who in former times have been engaged in the same diabolical work, which they have for severals months past been doing, witli the effect above alluded to. They are however to he the greatest sufferers. The recuperative energies of the Democratic Party are sufficient for this emergency, and when Douglas and Forney, like their illustrious predecessors in the same cause, shall be dead and forgotten, politically, the principles of Democracy will rise triumphant over their ruins, and shine but the brighter on account of its reverses.— The recent calamity which has befallen our party in the States above named, will have a salutary effect upon the masses in coming time. It well teach them wisdom, and afiord a wholesome warning to them to beware of such traitors ms they have for the present hosen ms leaders. Deluded by passion and prejudice ; lulled into a fatal security by Douglas and Forney, they wake up to find themselves betrayed into the hands of the Black Republicans. If there is any one thing in this chapter of misfortunes which we regret more-thau another; it is the defeat of that sterling patriot J. Glancey Jones of Pennsyl- mia. For a number of years, he has been turned from his district by overwhelming Majorities, and his course in Congress has al. ways been highly conservative, true to the institution battling for the South, in the war aged upon her rights by the anti-slavery par- For this he was marked for destruction iy Forney and his abilitionallies, and their ffnts have been but too successful inprodu- ing his overthrow. We learn that he was lefeated by the meagre majority of 45 votes. Ye can imagine the grovelling and debasing •.•clings which fill the bosoms of Douglas and ’orncy in contemplating the mischiefs they lave liecn mainly instrumental inproducing.lt io doubt affords them a fiendish satisfaction i> r the time, but a day of awful retribution i not far distant in the future, when the tings of a guilty conscience will mar all their leave and happines. We commend the con- ideration of these things to our cotemporaries if the Southern press, who have maifested erne sympathy for Douglas. If they are not low convinced of their course, “they would lot be persuaded though one rose from the lead.” Hard to Understand. Some of our Know Nothing cotemporaries •mu to he hard to understand liow it is that lie National Democracy are so much opposed t tfii.i lime to Messrs. Douglas and Forney, lieu hut a few months ago, these gentlemen ere in full fellowship with the Democratic arty. We beg to lie excused for doubting he sincerity of our cotemporaries in their resent pretensions to a want of proper under- taniling of the causes which have led to the resent antagonism of the true Democracy to heir ouandom friends above named. We are err much inclined to the opinion that the qdexity o.' our Know Nothing cotempora- eg, al>ove alluded to, is more affected than al. The Democratic party is a party of rinciple. It recognises as its members, only lose who advocate and support its princi- les, and when any of these put themselves ut of proper alignment, the ban of the party upon them. They are at once set down as ngound and unsafe leaders, and arc forthwith ft to go in a gang to themselves or go over to fie enemy as they may see proper. Douglas, brney & Co,, occupy a very different relation the party, from that which they sustained year ago. They have chosen to put them. Ives in a hostile position to Mr Buchanan ud his administration, and by so doing have rfeitod the confidence of the Democratic par- • We as a party have never yet subscribed the doctrine “once a Democrat, always a •mocrat.” We believe in falling from grace, litically speaking, and that Douglas and >rnev have placed themselves in thiscatego- : hence we are not responsible for any of eir acts or deeds in connection with their e* nt position. Although these deserters ve inflicted present injury upon the party, t we have no fears of any permanent injury result from their treachery, and brother “owls of the Macon Journal and Messenger, id those who think with him, need give leroselvcs no uneasiness about our disposal the two individuals above mentioned. They & working for the benefit of Brother Knowls’ >' it any he can be said to have, and he ke them and make the most of them. mehody says there are two, kinds of •rs—in one you put yourv&weatmeat, |e other you put—your fqot. Hon. J. Glancy Jones. One of the Chief sources of regret to us in the result of the late election in Peimsylvania was the defeat of that distinguished National Democrat the Hon. J. Glancy Jones. For ma ny years back we have been accustomed to regard this gentleman as one of the truest and most reliable men in the North. He has on all occasions proved himself steadfast and proof against all seduction. To see such a man cut down in the very heat of the battle as he was breasting tlra,storm, is no light cause of grief. We are, however, glad to see that the President appreciates the friendship of Mr. Jones and his fidelity to Democratic princi ples. 'The following dispatch will he gratify ing to our readers : MINISTER TO AUSTRIA. Philadelphia, Oct. 18.—The Reading Ga zette announcee the appointment of the Hon. J Glancy Jones, of Berks county, Pa., as Min ister to Austria. Darby’s Prophylactic Plaid. Among the great number of beautiful arti cles on exhibition at the State Fair, the fine roayal purple color of this admirable prepara tion has attracted universal attention. The discoverer, Prof. John Darby, is an old Geor gian, and has hosts of friends everywhere in the State, and it will lie very gratifying to his numerous friends, to know that his Fluid is having splendid success. It is a most capital preparation and we heartily recommend our friends to try it. Suicide in Dalton,—a Flying Rumor. A Mr. ”J. C. fly” writes to our office that a man named “J. M. Walldrupe committed suicide in Dalton on last Monday morning by tying a rope around his neck and tide it to a pole extended over a new Bilding where he was at work.” Walldrupe he further informs ns was a brick-mason by trade and about 20 or 22 years of age. From the way in which “ Fly” writes we don’t know whether to consider this a ‘ flying rumor’ ’ or a true story. We give the information for what it is worth, intending no harm to anybody, but rather suspicious that Fly intends to catch us with a hoax. He has lit on the wrong customers. Don’t vou think so “fly” ! Cnmpbell of Oil I o. Among the oases in the desert, of the late IMilitical disasters in Ohio and other States, the lefeatof this arch enemy of the Democracy and of the South— Lewis D. Campbell—stands cliccringly conspicuous. For severals years past he has filled a seat in Congress, and du ring liis career in that body, he has lieen the “vilest of the vile” in his hostility to our section of the I’nion. At the election in 1856 he was opposed bv Mr. Vallandingham. By the aid offree neyro votes he obtained the cer tificate of election. His seat was contested by his opponent and Campbell was finally turned out and Vallandinyham came in. At the recent election in that Congressional dis trict, Campbell was again a candidate in op position to the present incumbent, and has lieen defeated by a decisive majority as we are informed. There is at least one bright spot in the political firmanent of Ohio politics, which the black cloud of Abolitionism has not lieen able to obscure. Southern Pacific Rail Rond. We have late private intelligence from Marshall, Texas, informing us that on the 8th of October, the Judge of the District Court, held at Marshall, decided that the Trustees un der the Law of December, 1857, were the on ly true representatives of the “sold out,” Southern Pacific Rail Road, Co. This decision places the new Company of which Samuel P. Grant, Esq., of this city is President, in an unquestionable position, as being the true and only S. P. R. R. Company. Such a deci sion will at once command the the confidence and approbation of all who know anything of the history of this great work, and it will tend to hasten the period when we shall have through the South, the great highway of com merce to California. Reverses of the Democratic Party. The result of the recent elections in some of the Northern or free States, have had the ten dency to discourage some of our political friends at the South. Mr. Buchanan’s Kansas policy, has evidently been condemned in his own, and other States in the same section of the Union. As for ourselves we take a wholy differen t view of the recent elections, from that of some of our political associates. When we consider the causes which have conspired to defeat the Democrat candidates for Congress in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, we feel a proud satisfuction in defeat, even transcending that which is now being enjoyed by the vic tors. Mr. Buchanan and his friends felt in duty hound under their obligations as sworn officers to support the constitution, to take strong Southern grounp in the late Kansas controversy. By doing this, they aroused the fiery indignation of the whole Abolition par ty every where, and drove from their support all tender footed Northern Democrats. None hut those of the pure State Rights Stamp have remained true to their integrity as National Democrats, and faithful friends of the Nation al Democratic Administration. Although tnese constitute a formidable array of noble hear ed patriotic American citizens, yet they were insufficient to resist the combined forces of the opposition, composed as it was of Aboli tionists, Know Nothings, and Douglas Demo crats. The True Democracy, who liave been thus cut down, in this unequal conflict, have displayed a political heroism, which would do honor to the best days of the Republic. Though lieaten they arc not conquered. They feel a consciousnes of the rectitude of their con duct, which is undying and which will nerve them for future conflicts, and while with con sciences “void of effence,” to their party and their country, with heads erect, and hearts free from self reprcach, they can look through the gloom of adversity which now overshad ows them, to a brighter future, when the trai tors who have contributed to their defeat, will be consigned to that giave of political oblivi- ion and disgrace, which awaits them, to a mor al tertainty. We repeat that we are not discour aged. The South is Democratic to the core. At the North we have many gallant patriotic friends, who stand ready to fight by our sides a thousand battles, for the constitution and the Union. The American Party of the South may secretly and privately rejoice over the r scent reverses of the National Democracy, which we know has for years stunk in their nostrils, hut they never can derive any mate, rial political or sectional advantage from the calamities of their ancient foe. They dare not come out openly in approval of the recent Abolition victories, and how much soever their leaders and presses may feel gratification at the result of the recent elections, they dace not avow such sentiments to the honest masses of their party. The Georgia Democracy are really as strong as ever, apd if we can shajte off that sympathy which some of our friends have manifested for Douglas we have nothing to fear in the future. We say then to our friends be of good cheer, a brighter day awaits us as a party. County Subscription. Me. Editor.—Allow me to inquire if it would be unreasonable for the friends of the Georgia Air-Line Railroad to ask that part of the County of Fulton laying outside of the city of Atlanta, to make a subscription to this work. The County of Fulton in every part of it is fully indentified in its interests with the growth and prosperity of Atlanta. Before Atlanta had an existence and even when Atlanta was Mar- thasville the land in the county could he bought for about 50 cts. an Acre. It is now outside the corporate limits of the city, worth from ten to $50 per Acre, all of which increas ed value has been imported, and it by the ex istence of Railroads and the enterprise and growth of Atlanta. As grows Atlanta, so in creases in value every foot of land and every sapling and stick of timber in the county. Ought not then the citizens of the entire County be willing to hear some part of the burden in the construction of this great work, a work which cannot fail to double the pres ent value of the entire land of the County. The fairest, most equitable, and simple way to arrange the matter, would he for the entire county including the city to subscribe one hundred and fifty or $200,000 and relieve the city of the last $100,000 subscribed to the Road and at the same time allow (as the Company would doubtless be willing to do) all of our private Stockholders who wish it, to he released from their stock. This would leave $100,000 subscription to the city proper, and the bal ance to he taken by the County including the City. Tliis would he something like equitable to the City and County, and place all parties interested on something like an equitable foot ing, and leave all the real estate of the Coun ty, which alone should lie taxed to bear the burden. It is real estate that is to receive the main benefit from this enterprise, and it is this kind of property that should mainly aid in carrying it through. What say our citizens to such an arrangement ? A FRIEND. Report from the Board of Health- It will be seen from the following report from the Chairman of the Board of Health, that a case of yellow fever, contracted in Char leston, terminated fatally in this city late on Monday night last. No case has originated in this city this season, and no person believes that any case will occur here. We know that every citizen thankfully and cordially endorses the statement made liy Mr. Dye, that Augusta has never been in aliealthier condition than at the present time :—Constitu tionalist. Office of the Board of Health, ( Augusta, October 19, 1858. j To the Editors of the Constitutionalist: The Board of Health of this city having pledged themselves to the public to report the first and all cases of yellow fever brought here, or that originated here, take the earliest opportunity to state that a young man by the name of Jacob Delker arrived in this city on Tuesday last from Pennsylvania, and died by yellow fever on the following Monday night. He came through Charleston, and re mained there a short time, where he contrac ted the disease of which he died-. His remains were immediately removed to the cemetery. Our city never was in a healthier condition than at the present time. James M. Dye, Chairman Board of Health. How the Purity of the Ballot Box is pre served in Baltimore.—At the late municipal election in Baltimore the American party had their tickets printed on a peculiar checkered paper, so that they could be distinguished by the mob who had possession of the polls, and who allowed none other but such ballots to be put in the ballot box. An old whig who vo ted the American ticket, writing to the Amer ican newspaper says—- As an old Whig, however, I felt mortified to be compelled to hand in a ticket evident ly so marked on the outside that all those who surrounded the window, a motley group of youths, reeking with liquor, should know who I was voting for—I was shocked to see some of my old neighbors and friends, who approached the window with tickets not marked like mine, elbowed off the curb stone —and that, whatever arrangements were made by the Mayor, through the police, to protect the purity of the ballot-box, and the rights of voters, they appeared to have been wholly neglected. The editor closes a long apologetic article in reply to his correspondent with the following disgraceful admission. He says— Had all who were disposed to vote been per mitted to quietly appioach the polls and de posit their ballot, Mr. Swann would have been fairly and legally re-elected, we have not a single doubt , and of the legal votes polled he had unquestionably a large majority. But the result as it stands recorded in the re turns of the judges is in any other respect the voice of the legal voters of Baltimore, we can not believe and will not for a moment attempt to assert. Those returns, indeed, bear on the face so palpable an impress of fraud and violence that any dispute on the subject among fair-minded and intelligent men as im possible. We should have welcomed defeat as preferable to a triumph so improperly won. What a pity, for the credit of his city and party, the editor did not experience his com punctions before, instead of after the election! Management of the State Road. The mere fact that the State Road is paying handsome instalments of $25,000 a month into the State Treasury, has been eminently satisfactory to many of our citizens. They care very little about knowing how the effect is produced, provided the money is paid. On the other hand very many are desirous to know upon what system the present adminis tration has worked, that has led to such grati fying results. When Dr. Lewis first became prominent in this State as a public man some twelve or fifteen years ago, the writer of this article recollects of hearing his friend Mr. J. P. H., then of Cobb county, speak in high terms of commendation of a discourse which Dr. L. had recently delivered from his text Gather up the fragments &c., Dr. Lewis’s management of the State Road has recalled to our mind the circumstance and we think that it will be apparent to any one on a mo ment’s reflection, that his principle and his plan have consisted mainly in “gathering up the fragrants” and “stopping the leaks. In other words “Economy” has done the work. It is true, that we claim for the present ad ministration of the road high ability and the soundest judgment. But these of themselves would not he sufficient. For it would not be of the least public benefit, if the gross receipts of the Road should reach a million of dollars and nothing should be saved.—Tri- Weekly Marietta Advocate. The American Union. There is a class of party politicians, not small in number nor comfined to any particu lar association, who depend for success, not upon truth, justice and right, but upon distor ting these sacred attributes to answer their own venal purposes. You cannot induce.them by any means in your power, to observe any thing like a high-toned, honorable course to wards a political antagonist, and when oppo sing, treat him also with justice. They have no idea of a fair and just observance towards him, Whilst they would scorn the imputation of falsehood in the private intercourse of life, they consider him all fair in politics. We never could understand how a man can he morally honest and politically corrupt. Truth is truth and falsehood is falsehood, look at them in what light you please. We apply these remarks particularly to our old friend of the American Union. We have had many a bout with the old sinner in days of yore, and well recollect how difficult it was to hold him on to truth and fair statements— when discarding politically. Since we left Griffin, we have understood he had attached himself to the M. E. Church, and were truly rejoiced to hear of it, anticipating that he would turn over a new leaf in his politics as weli as morals. But the Ethiopian cannot change his color, nor the leopard his spots, and we fear Sandy is too much wedded to par ty to change his political morals. To misrep resent his opponents is a darling vice that Heaven must overlook, or Sandy is a goner, church or no church. We have been led to these ideas, by meet ing, in the last Union, the following round assertion : “Douglas has said that, in his opinion, the people of a territory, mere squat- iers on the public domain, have the right to exclude slavery from such territory, before they meet to form a State Constitution.”— These remarks are made to us, and at this we are more surprised than at the statement itself for that individual knows we generally keep ourself pretty well posted. We reply then, Mr. Douglas never said any such thing. This we say to the best of our knowledge and be lief; at least we have never seen any tiling of the kind from his pen or his mouth. If Mr. Douglas has said it, we suppose the editor of the Union can show it. We should be pleased to see it, if the charge is true. Now take care Sandy you do not catch yourself in a trap, and show your—your—monkey.— Wire Grass Re porter. The Supreme Court. In our issue of the 13th inst., we published the action of an adjonmed public meeting in Coweta county, in reference to the above sub ject, and appended thereto a brief comment. Our remarks have been construed by our friend of the Comer Stone into a reflection U}ion the intelligence of all who are in favor of( abolishing the Supreme Court. We admit that we did not guard ourselves against such inference, but such was not the thought to which we gave expression. It was understood by us that a meeting originated in a dissatisfaction with a recent judgment of the Supreme Court, aliout which so much has been said and written. Believing and,- indeed, knowing that the masses have not taken the time or trouble to ascertain the correctness of the legal propositions which that judgment declared; (and it is manifest that such investi gation must be the basis of any just or intelli gent censure) we have uniformly deprecated all popular demonstrations on this subject-— It was in reference to this fact that we intend ed an application of the charge of knaw-noth- ing-ism, though, as we have said, our words had a wider and more general meaning.— Upon the subject of abolishing the Court, we occupy a position at a great distance from our cotemporary, whether in advance or in rear of his own, we do not say. But this radical difference will not prevent us from being in structed by his opinions ; at any rate, we hope never to lose our respect for his acknowledged intelligence and matured wisdom.—Columbus limes. A Roguish Fashion. In one of the “Fashion” tables, which are such pleasant reading, it is stated that in Eu rope the gigantic skirts are extensively usol by ladies for smuggling purposes. Scarcely a day passes, without amusing details in the journals of the arres of elegantly dressed fe males, whose uncommonly Voluminous skirts had excited the suspicion of douaniers, and whose fine trappings were found to cover not only laces and embroideries but bottles of wine and brandy, ingeniously bung around the person. The large cloak, styled . ' covers also a multitude of sins under 1 of cassimere shawl, and laces, and rioa, f~ fir* Some would be thought to do great things who are but the tools and instruments like the fool that fancied he played upon the organ when be only worked the bellows. A Just Tribute. The coalition of Republicans, Americans and Douglas Democrats have just won a victory over the Democracy in Pennsylvania. The New York Tribune—a notorious abolition sheet, thus speaks: ‘ ‘Let us not misstate nor overstate this tri umph. The republicans have nobly contribu ted to it, but they have not alone achieved it. The great body of the Americans have heartily co-operated with them, and the elaborate at tempt to draw off votes on ‘straight American’ tickets in Philadelphia has had little effect. The union for free territory, pure elections, and protection to home industry, was too hear ty and solid to he shaken by the tricks of demagogues bought and owned by the com mon adversary. “But the Republicans and Americans united could not have won so sweeping a victory without the powerful aid of the Douglas Democra cy. These faithful devotees of the doctrine of popular sovereignty, organized and led by John W. Forney, had resolved to punish the recre ants who devised and urged on the Lecomp- ton fraud, and they have done it most effectu ally.”—Col. Daily Times. Unfortunate Affair. On Tuesday morning last, an unfortunate affair occufred at the depot of the Macon and Western Railroad of this city, in which Mr. James L. Alexander, who made an assault up on Mr. W. M. Cline, was severely wounded with a pistol shot. Both parties fired upon each other ; but not until, as we are informed, Mr. Alexander had struck Mr. Cline several blows with an iron instrument, or ‘‘billy,” over the head. Mr. Alexander’s case is somewhat critical.—Deeply do we regret this occurrence. No man is more esteemed in this community than is Mr. Cline, who is now the Mayor there of, as well as the agent of the Macon and Wes tern Railroad at the depot of which, and while attending to his duties there, the assault up on him by Mr. Alexander took place, and which resulted as above stated. We forbear making further comments.—Empire State. A Georgia Made Watch. Among the articles to be exhibited at the Georgia State Fair on yesterday, says the Ma con Telegraph, will lie a beautiful hunting cased Lady’s Watch, about as large as a half dollar, and made by Messrs. Menard & Burg- hard, of Macon, Ga. It weighs about fourteen pennyweights, and is, we suppose, the only watch ever manufactured in tins State. It is a fine time keeper—full jewelled. Box Hunter Sunk. We regret to learn that the Box Hunter, which left our wharf a few days since, and hound for Apalachicola, was sunk near the race paths, by the wilful carelessness of hands on board the steamer Florence refusing to slacken up a line which they had extended across the river. The principal part of the cargo was saved, hut in a damaged condition. We did not learn if there was any insurance on the cargo, but presume not.—Col. Sun. Episcopal Church Marietta. Rev. S. Benedict, recently chosen Rector of St. Jame’s Church in this place officiated on Sunday last. Mr. B. has the entire confidence and present regard of his congregation, as we think, and we are satisfied that his labors in Marietta as a Minister of Christ will result in much good to the Church and community.— Advocate. Horrible Affair. We learn by a gentleman from Mount Ver non, that a few days ago some boys in that vi cinity went to a neighbor’s house to get some peaches, ahd on arriving at the house they asked the children “how all the folks were.” The children replied that they were all well aother—that she l except their mother—that she bad been lying dead on the floor for three days. The boys ran home and told what they had heard, and some persons immediately went to the house, and on making search, found the dead body of the woman in a most horrible state of mutila tion. The hips and thighs were burnt to a cinder, and her hands were burnt almost off, and all appearances seemed to indicate that she must have been held on the stove by some person until she was burnt to death. The Sheriff arrested the husband on suspicion of having committed the fiendish murder.—In diana Inquirer. gif’The same ladies who would faint to see a man’s shirt on a clothes line, will, inn waltz, lovingly repose their heads upon the bosom of jtlje same garment when the man is in it, al lowing^ him to take liberties for which a coun try gii n would box his ears till his cheeks tin- Judge Wright’s better. In to-days paper will be found a letter from Hon. A. R. Wright, Representative in Con gress from this District—the object of which is to set himself right upon his late Douglas letter. We agree fully with the Atlanta In telligencer when it says: We have great respect for Judge Wright, his honesty and his integrity, but we cannot con scientiously approve his present course, and at the time promote, as we are humbly en deavoring to do, the h nor and welfare of the South, and the rectitude of the Democratic or ganization.” By reference to this letter it will he seen that Judge Wright denies the charge made against him, of attempting or assisting to make a Douglas party in Georgia. As this paper made the charge, we cheerfully publish his letter, explaining his position ; it was not our intention to misrepresent his position, and therefore very willingly give his letter the benefit of our circulation. We think it is time for all Southern men to let the “little giant” slide. They should not forget his Freeport speech, delivered on the 27 th of August last, in which he declared that the people of a territory, while a territory; can, by lawful means exclude slavery before the formation of a State constitution.”—Cass- ville Standard. Messrs. Toombs and Stephens. Some of our brethren of the Democratic press and their correspondents seem to think that we have done Messrs. Toombs and Ste phens gross injnstice in charging them with attempting to make a Douglas party in Geor gia—placed them in a position they do not occupy—charged them with holding opinions they do not entertain—and that our course is calculated to create dissentions in the party, &c. U we have misrepresented the position of those gentlemen, willingly and cheerfully withdraw the charge—if we have misrepresent ed them, it was done unintentionally. We would not knowingly misrepresent the posi tion of any man and when satisfied that we have done so, shall never hesitate for a mo ment to make the amende honorable. We thought the signs of the times justified making the charge, and did not hesitate to do what we comsidered our duty—hut as the charge is denied by those who occupy a position to he better informed, we have nothing further to say.—Ibid. The bast Dollar. By the roadside in the village of C lay a wounded man; not a friend was near to min ister to his wants. A poor young man who was passing hastened to the side of the suffer er, raised him up, and supplied his wants. He haid but a dollar in the world, but he cheerful ly gave that to the sick man as he left him. A year jiassed, and the same young man was wrecked at sea. When the ship went down he seized a plank, to which he clung all the long night. When the morning had dawn ed, he beheld a sail far out on the deep ; it halts; a boat puts out and comes towards him, on the top of a wave he hears a cry, “Hold tight; “cling fast; I am coming.” He goes down again, and when he mounts the next surge, who does he see guiding the helm but the very man to whom he had given his last dollar.—Am. Messenger. A traveler, so the story goes, was riding slowly along, near the close of the day, when he discovered, projecting from a cabin, a shin gle, on which was written in charcoal letters, “Hotel.” Riding up, he called to the land lord, when the following conversation ensued: Landlord—Will you ’ave horse put up? Traveler—If you please; put him in the sta ble and give him a few oats. L—Verry sorry, Mister, but we’re out o’ oats. T—A little com will answer, then. L—Got me agin, stranger, the com is all gone, too. T—Well, give him plenty of hay, with straw for his bed. L—Sony, hut ain’t got neither hay nor straw; but I kin hitch yer horse to one of the trees yonder. T—Take him along, and let me have some supper. L—-What’ll ye have, stranger. T—Ham and eggs, with hot bread and hot coffee. L—We don’t keep any of yournice fixins, squire. T—Well, then, let me have a bit of cold meat, with a cake and a cup of tea. L—Can’t make the riffle, stranger; we don’t keep city vegetables. T—Hang it, give me a bed then, and let mo go to sleep. L—Keep cool, squire, we don’t keep beds here. T—No, you don’t keek beds here, nor eata bles, nor accommodations for man nor beast ! What do you deep? L (enraged)—Keep! why we keep a hotel ! Wliat’n thunder d’ye suppose we keep ? At last Mr. Buchanan has pleased everybody, we believe. To give universal satisfaction is not always possible for mortals, and moreover is not always proper. The duty of a public man, when done, for the most part displeases quite as many as it gratifies. It is not the in dex of wisdom in a government that no one should be found to blame. Mr. Buchanan has had more reproaches to bear since his acces sion to “first office” than any of his predeces sors. But his appointment of Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, to the Spanish mission is so judi cious, that all parties are united in their appro val of it. Our readers are probably aware that Mr. Preston was formerly a Whig, and being a Kentuckian, a zealous Whig, of course. He was always a favorite of that party in his dis trict, (Louisville) while the Whig party was in esse. Since that time he has supported the Democratic cause. The New York Evening Post, a violent abolition sheet, though ably edited, hears this testimony of him : “Mr. Preston is not a money-changer or speculator, and both from inclination and prin ciple will decline to use his official position as a means of private emolument. 500 He has excellent qualifications for his new position, uniting with a capacity equal to all the duties likely to he imposed on him, the bearing of a courteous gentleman.

H cmtiidi «l Klii)(lii] ii (slllii) In The following particulars in regard to a tragic occurrence in California the death of a Georgian named Dorsey, well known to many of our readers—are published in the Califor nia papers : Hilliard P. Dorsey, a resident of Los Ange los county for several years past, and late register of the U. S. Land Office at that place was lolled on the afternoon of Monday, Sep tember 6th, 1858, under the following cir cumstances : Some time in June, 1857, H. P. Dorsey was married to the youngest daughter of W. W. Rubottom, of El Monte. To all appear ances they lived in perfect harmony together up to the 5th of September last. Some differences appear to have arisen be tween them of so serious a nature that Mrs. Dorsey, through fear of her life, was obliged to leave her home on Sunday night, Septem ber 5 at 11 o’clock and seek the shelter of her father’s house, a distance of about five miles, leaving her only child, a boy of four months of age, with her husband, who would not permit her to take him with her. She arrived at the house of her father about midnight of Sunday. On the following morning, before daylight, Mr. Rubottom started for Los An gelos, in order to take the initiative steps to procure a habeas corpus for the child. He en gaged Col. E. J. Kewen for that purpose who, accompanied by Meyer J. Newmark, a notary public, left for El Monte to obtain the signa ture of Mrs. Dorsey to the petition, arriving there about 2 o’clock the same day. After discussing the matter thoroughly, Col. K., who had been a personal friend to de ceased, resolved to go first to see Dorsey, and endeavor to conciliate matters without the in tervention of the law. Accordingly, he rode over to Dorsey’s, accompanied by Mrs. Ru bottom, the mother of Mrs. Dorsey, and upon their arrival at the residence of the deceased found him pacing to and fro the room with the child in his arms ; while on the lied and around the room lay a number of guns pistols, and knives. Col. Kewen remained in conver sation with him a considerable length of time begging and exorting him ,bv every argument in his power, to restore the child to its moth er for a few days, when some amicable ar rangement might be adjusted, hut to no avail. Dorsey was inflexible in his purpose. He told Col. Kewen that he was a friend of his and that he could wield as much influence over him its any person in the count}-, but that in this matter he was unchangeable, and that if all the angels from heaven were to im plore him at Ms feet, his determination would remain unaltered. He said his time had come; he intended going to Mr. Rubottom’s, and that if his wife would not return home with Mm, he would kill her and all opposing him- Col. Kewen seeing that it was useless to re main any longer, resolved to return to the house of Mr. Rubottom. He had traveled but a short distance when Dorsey, being on horse hack and taking a much nearer road, overtook him, and id though Col. Kewen used every eqertion to keep up with him, he found it impossibie. When Dorsey rode up to the house, Mr. Rubottom who was seated on the piazza, in conversa tion with Mr. s Newmark, arose from his seat and remarked, “Captain Dorsey, I have one request to make, and that is, that you do not enter my gate.” Deceased disregarding the wish entirely, alighted from his horse witli a Colt’s revolver in his hand, and opening the gate, said, “I’ll come in or die, and will end it right here.” Mr. Rubottom again admon ished him, “For God’s sake, Dorsey, don’t come in,” But Dorsey would come in. When Mr. Rubottom saw him walk up to wards the house with pistol in hand, he went into an adjoimng room for his shot gun.— When he returned Dorsey was on the piazza ; they met and fired simultaneously, Mr. Ru bottom’s load entering the side of Dorsey, just below the collar bone. The shot from Dor sey’s pistol {missed the mark. The deceas ed ran 15 or 20 steps after lie was shot and ex pired. His wife was present all the time, but it was useless to intercede in the matter, as Dorsey was fully armed, having a 6 shooter, a pair of derringers, and a knife on his person at the time of his death. A coroner’s inquest was held soon after, and the jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide in self-de fence. Mr. Rubettom immediately went to Los Angelos, and placed himself in the testody of the sheriff, and the next (Tuesday) morn ing was examined before, Hon. W. G. Drydeu, county Judge, and upon the evidence of Col. Kewen and Mr. Newmark, was discharged.— H. P. Dorsey was about 35 years ( f age,laud a native of Georgia, where his parents and family now resides. He has a brother in Los Angelos. Deceased was a man possessing many good qualities, lint a very severe temp erament, having an iron indomitable will, and would resort to any measure to accomplish a purpose. The greater portion of the neigh borhood in which he lived was in constant dread of him, and would yieid to almost any terms to prevent a difficnlty with Mm. Special corrcspoudeucc of the Dispatch. Nashville, Oct. lGtli, 1858. Trial of J. R. Graves—The Fight—The Fair— The Two-Headed u irl—And the Gaiily. The trial of Rev. J. R. Graves, alluded to ir my last, came up at the First Baptist Cnurcli on Tuesday, 12th iust, The Church was crowded and great curiosity was manifest ed to hear the trial. After a number of pre liminary motions, the charges made against the accused were read, and when asked wheth er he admitted or denied the charges, he re sponded—“I deny.” A motion to non-suit the charges, for infor mality, was carried, when Mr. Graves was permitted to speak in his own defence. He then read a protest against any further pro ceedings until scriptural steps had been taken to settle the difficulty. He urged other rea sons why the trial was premature,—and sta ted that he was ready and willing to meet an investigation if it were made according to the New Testament. The question was put after some discussion on a motion to remand the whole proceedings on the ground of informality, and last,—41 for remanding, and 98 for immediate trial. Mr. Graves, after a few remarks, stated that he could not fellowship with the Church any more, and announced bis withdrawal. The Moderator stated that Mr. Graves him self had held that the only way to get out of the Baptist Church was by death or exclusion. Mr. Graves claimed that when a Church tramples upon the law of Christ, it becomes a faction, and not a church. On a motion to adjourn, the congregation were requested to remain after adjournment, and those who had voted against the imme diate trial of Mr. Graves organized another meeting. A paper was then read, which claimed that the persons whose names were appended constituted the first Baptist Cliurc-h, and that the majority who voted for sustain ing the charges were factionists. This state ment was signed by about 20 members of the First Baptist Church. Mr. Graves then requested the hotly to call a council of two ministers from each Church in the association, to investigate the charges against him. The meeting then adjourned to meet Sunday afternoon. On the next clay, those who were for imme diate trial proceeded with an examination, and on the question, whether Mr. Graves was guilty of the first charge (as published in my last letter) there was a unanimous vote in the affirmative. The investigation will Ik: con tinued to-night. Flatfooted Courtship.—One long summ e afternoon there came to Mr. Davidson’s the most curious specimen of an old bachelor the world ever heard of. He was old, grey wrink led {and ugly. He hated woman, especially old maids, and wasn’t afraid to say so. He and Aunt Patty had it hot and heavy, when ever chance threw them together ; yet still he came, and it was noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual pains with h-r dress whenever he was expected. One day the contest waged unusually strong. Aunt Patty left him in dis gust, and went cut into the garden. “The bear,” she muttered to herself, as she stoop ed to gather a blossom which attracted her attention. “What did you run away for?” sa ; d u gruff voice close to her side. “To get rid of you.” “You didn’t do it, did you ?” “No ; you are worse than a burdock lmr.” “You won’t get rid of me neither.” “I won’t, eh ?” “Only in one day.” “And what!” “Marry me!” “What, us two fools git married ? What will people say ?” “That’s nothing to us. Come, say yes or no ; I'm a hurry.” “Well, no then.” “Very well, good by ; I shan’t come again.” “But stop a bit—what a pucker to Ik- in ?” “Yes or no ?” “I must consult”— “All right; I thought you was of age.— Goodbye.’ ’ “Jahez Andrews, don’t be a fool. Coine back, come back, I say. Why, I believe the critter has taken me fur earnest. Jahez An drews, I’ll consider”— “I don’t want no considering. I’m gone. Becky Hastings is waiting for me. I thought I’d give you the first chance. All right.— Good-liye.” “Jahez—Jahez ! That stuck-up Becky Has tings shan’t" have him if I die for it. Jahez— Yes, Do you her? Y-E-S!” Flection Return s.

Singular Test.—A mechanic residing ii the city having had occasion to suspect the ii delity of Ms better half, and not wishing to go crazy on the subject before convincing him self of thetrutli ofhis impression, settled the question yesterday morning, quite singularly perhaps very “funnily.” He first bared his lireast, painted a desperate wound with some of Ms lady’s carmine, between the fourth and fifth rib, and sprinkling the sheet with a thick solution of the material, laid over on his bet and fired offapistol. His wife immediately rush ed into the chamber and finding him in such : terrible condition gave way to her grief and real love, and evinced such unmistakable af fection on the occasion that the ingenious me chanic gave up his delusion, tumbled laugh ingly into her arms and like an honest man told her the whole truth. We understand that this instance ss not without precedent in our city, hut so far as we know the ruse is original with a celebrated Flemish painter who fooled his capricious “rib” into a perfect cc- stacy of unbridled affection and lived long to enjoy the glorious effects of it.

It was ex pected that three different inventions would be exhibited and tested at the State Fair, but only one was on the ground. That was Fawke’s locomotive steam plow, Lancaster, Pennsylva nia, which excited great interest among the prairie farmers, and performed well. The ma chine and apparatus, with fuel and water, only weighs about seven tons, and by tbe use of a drum or barrel-shaped driver, for propelling the locomotive, the difficulty of miring in soft soil and slipping on hard smooth ground is overcome. The steam plow is easily managed, and is described as a cross between a locomo tive and a tender, combining the essential ele ments of both, mounted on two guiding wheels and a huge roller. The prairie ground on which it was tried was baked nearly as hard as brick, but the engine turned six furrows side by side in the most workmanlike manner. The ex citement of the crowd was beyond control, and their shouts and wild huzzas echoed far over the prairie.—Ledger. Double Elopement—Two Brothers Away with Two Sisters. Mr. Lloyd, a highly respectable fanner of Wickliffe, arrived in' Cleveland, Ohio, and sought out Marshal Gallagher, and told him that his two daughters had eloped on Monday night previous with two hired men, brothers, and named respectively Chauncey Lewis and Watson Lewis. Mr. Lloyd said"he thought they were in that city. The Marshal put on liis seven league boots and commenced walk ing rapidly around the city. He found the enterprising parties at last at the Franklin House, on Pearl street. Watson Lewis had already married one of the sisters and retired for the night. Chauncy Lewis was making arrangements to marry the other sister, when the Marshal appeared, and took him and his intended to the police station. Locking Chauncey Lewis up in the watch-house, Mr. Lloyd took his daughter to the Commercial House and locked her up in a room. Mr. Lloyd, in addition to being an exten sive and flourishing farmer, keeps a tavern in Wickliffe, winch is very favorably known.— It is located near the lake shore, and near where the ill-fated steamer Griffith was burn ed some years since. Mr. L. owns some four hundred and fifty acres of land in Wicliffe, and is quite wealthy. His daughters are named Mary and Laura. Mary is about twenty years old, and Laura about sixteen. They are splendidly looking girls, and are fashionably and richly dressed. They are both well edu cated, having enjoyed superior advantages in this respect. The Lewis brothers arc uncouth, uneducated and overgrown specimens of humanity, and can neither read nor write. He paid Watson, the eldest one, $13, and Chauncey $10 a month. Chauncey Lewis, the young' man who didn’t get married, and who passed the night in the watch house, is a very sleepy and stupid appearing young man. We doubt if he knows enough to exercise the sagacity of a common Shanghai chicken and go under cover when it rains. He was released the next morning, at the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd, and requested to “scoot,” which he hastily did. He promised, with tears in his eyes, never to come within ten miles of Wicliffe again. The married brother of course cannot he interfered with. 'l’he brothers hired a horse and buggy at Willoughby’s, and went to Mr, Lloyd’s, where the girls were awaiting them, with their trunks all packed. The girls left the house noiseless ly, and got into the buggy, and the parties moved slowly towards Cleveland. One of the brothers walked all the way there (about sixteen miles), and the other rode and drove. Arriving here, they stopped at the Commercial House. In the evening a Justice was called in, and Watson and Mary were married.- Chauncey and Laura concluded to postpone being united until the morning, which con clusion fortunately enabled Mr. Lloyd to pre vent the ceremony. The parties all moved from the Commercial to the Franklin, where they were found as above stated. This is the most remarkable case of elope- mant w r e ever heard of. It utterly eclipses the Boker and Dean case. What two hand some and cultivated iris, as the Misses Lloyd's certainly wore, could find to admire in two such fellows as the Lewis brothers, is more than we can imagine. Mr. Lloyd and his wife are overwhelmed with grief by the inex plicable eodduct of their daughters. The Last Sea Tragedy.—Captain Hepburn, of the ship Golden State, writes to the owners the particulars of the late mutiny and murder, under date of Penang, Prince of Wales Island, August 3: "It becomes my painful duty to inform you that on the 19tli ult., while I was on shore get ting ready to proceed on my voyage, a mutiny occurred on board the Golden State, which lias resulted in the death of my chief officer (Mr. Williams,) mid dangerously wounding my sec ond mate and boatswain’s mate, all of whom were beaten in the most shocking manner by the mutineers, who then stole one of the quar ter boats and deserted from the ship. It seems that about 1 P. M., when the boatswain order ed the men to turn to, that eighteen of them who were assembled on the topgallant forecas tle in a body, all refused. He then went aft and informed the mates, who at once went forward to prevail on the men to go to their duty, when they were assaulted by a number who appeared to have acted as principals in the revolt. Mr. Williams was knocked down, and tied to the capstan on the forecastle, and his skull beaten in. The other officers were driven aft, wounded, and struck with such murderous weapons as the desperadoes had in tlielr hands. When they left the ship, the carpenter ran up a signal of distress, which I saw from the shore, and immediately started for the ship. I met the men and ordered them hack, hut they refused, and went to the landing place, where fortunately they were all arrested by the police. Mr. Williams died from the effects ofhis wounds that night; the other two woun ded officers are convalescing slowly. ’I'iie coroner’s inquest brought in a verdict of “wilful murder” against six of the princi pals, and the rest of the eighteen as accesso ries to tlie murder. The men had been com mitted for trial, which commences to-day, for which 1 have been detained, as well as the rest of the people bel<inging to the ship, as witness- it would he difficult to assign any good rea son for the mutiny of these men, other than the desperate, character of several of the ring leaders, who perhaps were discontented at not being allowed liberty here, and influenced the others to join them iu not going to their work. Mr. Williams was a very quiet man. and an excellent officer, at the same time verv deter mined and resolute. It is oiilyrfwo months since the crew of the American ship Leonidas mutinied at this port, and killed the second mate. The man who gave him the fatal blow with a sheath knife, received six months’ imprisonment, and this unheard of leniency, it is thought, had a great deal to do in encouraging the conception of the troubles on hoard the Golden State.
