The Prohibition candidate for the Govern*
or’a chair, Mr. Overby, addreaved the people
last Wadsaaday, a* Rasraan, Cowffiteeoanty.
To Mr. Overby, all agree in acoording very
high abilities, as well as a very popular style
of oratory, and if this starting “ outside of
the string*’ does not rule him out, we may
expect a neck and neck heatof it on the big
dgy In October. We have no fears about
the result however, and are rather glad than
otherwise, to know that the public sentiment
of Georgia is about to be thoroughly tested
upon the great point involved in Mr. Over
by’s canvass. We have never from the first,
doubted that the principle upon which the
present Temperance agitation is based has
been transplanted out of its natural latitude
and is altogether too far South to live and
do well. But let the thing come up fairly
for argument and we would be much pleas
ed to see that our Temperance friends con
ducted the campaign with that degree of
abstinence from undue excitement which
should be pre-eminently the distinguishing
trait of Prohibitionists. We have heard
that the distinguished gentleman who bears
the standard of the tetotallers intends to do
the work np in the most thorough manner,
and will address the people in every county
in the State. In certain sections of the wire
grass we fear that Mr. Overby will feel
“dreadful dry” about the next dog-days
What say our friends about Statesboro.
Mr. Dent.
It is with sincere sorrow that wc learn by
Mr. Dent’s Card to his firiends and the con
stituency of the 4th District, that his ex
ceedingly low state of health forces him to
retire from the field of action. Our late
Representative has through his laborious
life been distinguished by the zeal with
.which he has entered into, and the perfect
honesty with which he has fulfilled all his
engagements. We suspect that there was
not a member from Georgia who was return
ed in the delegation to which he belonged
that felt a greater interest in his immediate
constituents, or who so promptly undertook
the multitudinous commissions from home
that add such a serious burthen to the usu
al labors of a faithful member of Congress.
We ardently hope that repose and the kind
attentions of watchful friends may be fol
lowed by Mr. Dent’s speedy restoration to
health and usefulness.

Mr. Editor; Spring 'has made her advent
this year at the appointed calendar time. She
comes in smilingly, bringing warn skies, temper
ate air and delicious evenings. Our sidewalks are
dry, our overcoats unbuttoned and our hearts ex
panding. Winter bore away with him our snow
and ice and our low spirits, and a buoyant feeling
pervades all classes. The sufferings of the poor
will be alienated now that the demands of awak
ened business offer labor and bread, and the sun
shine warm hearths which, during the long winter,
have been cold for lack of fuel. Many Western
merchants, with a sprinkling of Southern, are in
town; the dry goods dealers are quite busy, and a
heavy dealer in metals recently informed me that
his orders were already large and indicated a good
business season. The high rates of interest com
manded by capital during the post year have at
tracted to this point a much larger amount than
can find profitable investment. From Cuba alone,
where a prospective revolution threatened the se
curity of property, more than a million of dollars
have been received by agents instructed to iuvest
it. The consequence is, money goes a begging.—
The usual rate is 7|, bnt in many instances 6J.—
Very little short paper is offered, as it does not
command wore than the legal rate of interest.
The veto by the President of the Collins Appropri
ation bill has made quite a stir in commercial ck r
cles. The general feeling is against the veto.—
The papers of yesterday and this morning arc full
of praise and censure as they incline. The Trib
une, yesterday, in uu article headed “Thou shait
not steal,” heartily commends the act of the Pres
ident, and this morning pitches into Senator Snm-
nor for his intended speech in favor of it. The
general feeling of the city press, however, is
against the veto.
The age of chivalry is past. Edward Marshall,
of Brooklyn, gent, growing irated over that sweet
est of bonos of contention, “ lovely woman ”—
who was at firsts you know, only a rib—fulminates
a challenge against M. F. Griswold, gent, wherein
he plainly declares that nothing but the utter ex
termination of one of their valuable lives will an
swer his vengeance, and trusts that the said Gris
wold will not allow himself to be controlled by the
counsel of timid women nor seek shelter under
petticoats, and avows himself ready to seek some
lonely and retired spot for a combat of the most
mortal nature. But the prosaic Griswold, deaf to
the calls of honor, drags the bcllicorc Edward be
fore Justice Brcman, who bolds him to bail in the
.bond of SI,000 to answer the charge of sending a
written challenge. These arc undegenerate times.
The literary public have been agitated for the
last week by a libel suit brought by Edward
Fletcher, Esq., a book publisher in Nassau street,
against Mr. Norton, editor of the Literary Gazette.
It is chiefly valuable for its illustrations of the law
of libel under which so many prosecutions are con
stantly going forward. The facts of the case are
these: Upon the death of Dr. Judson, the great
Burmah missionary, Dr. Wayland, of Providence,
R. I., was requested to write his memoir, the pro-
Maine recently without seeing a glass of li
quor, or an individual who appeared to be
under its influence; and v?e were reliably
assured that, at the Augusta House, where
Govenor and most of the Legislature board,
not only was no liquor to he had, but even
the use of tobacco had almost entirely
ceased.”
Horace Greeley wipes his mouth after
this sanctimonious speech, and no doubt
thinks that now this victory is achieved
over gin-slings and 6pit boxes the Millen
nium has come. How long will it be before
he will give his consent to agitate for the
extermination of that pestilent tribe of Edi
tors who are the abetters, of treason and
peijury, and whose daily and nightly plott
ings are to end only when fire and slaugh
ter sweep over these States. How much
mote hurtful and wieked is the man who
spreads broadcast over the land, principles
and teachings that must end in ruin to a
whole people, than he who by his pittiful
retail of rum and “pig tail” makes a hog of
a man now and then? This is a problem in
which Greeley and others like him are more
tenderly concerned than the judicial blind
ness that has come upon these “architects
of ruin” lias permitted them to discover.
The Times tiint Try Men's Souls.
What will our low country friends think
when we tell them that corn meal is in this
market bringing, this morning, one dollar
and twenty cents per bushel ? This in the
granery of Georgia. We were told yester
day by a gentleman of the city, whose cor
respondence is very extended, that he had
advices from large dealers on the Tennessee,
who stated that thousands upon thousands
ow, then living and better known to the public
under the non du plume of Fanny Forrester. From
statements recently made, she received from this
source at least $10,000. She also owned $5,000
in Calcutta Bank Stock, besides property in Ham
ilton, N. Y., where she resided. Mr. Fletcher,
thinking the work prepared by Dr. Wayland too
expensive for general circulation, decided to pre
pare a smaller edition. Hereupon the widow
wrote him, in the bitterest vein, charging him with
most unworthy motives, denouncing curses upon
him. and demanding he should stop the publica
tion of the book. He roplied temperately that he
was not conscious of being actuated by mercenary
motives, in proof of which he offered to givo the
publication to her if she would remunerate him for
bis actual outlay. This offer was not accepted.—
Now comes the beariug of the case on the law of
libel. Dr. Wayland, in reply to a question by Mr.
Norton, stated that he thought the publication of
Mr. Fletcher’s hook would injure Mrs. Jndson.—-
Mr. Norton published tiie letter in his magazine,
and Mr. Fletcher, deeming it a reflection upon his
character, sued him for libel and lost hi? ease, the
jury, after Wing out about five minutes, bringing
in verdict for defendant.
Yankee ingenuity has hit upon a plan of cir
cumventing our good Mayor in his efforts to sup
press Sunday tippling. The story is, that on a
recent Sabbath a motley crowd might be seen
pouring into a grocery up Bowery which was fit
ted as a temporary church. After the preliminary
| oxercisea a burlesque sermon was dcli\ered, and
then the inuoting went in to blasphemous commun
ion, each brother taking what liquor pleased him
best. Afterwards the Deccon took up a collection
to defray the expenses and the congregation made
way for another equally devot and thirsty.—

T* thi Democratic Party ofthe 4th Com-
ntuloaal District.
_ Newman, Ga., March 8, K£5.
The time is approching when yon will
hold a Convention to nominate a candidate
to be run by yon, to represent this District in
the Representative branch ofthe 34th U. S.
Congress.
It is my duty to make you all acquain
ted with the following facts, of which many
are already well apprised : On account of
sickness, I was obliged to vacate my seat
in the 1st Session, 33d Congress, a few days
before its adjournment. My illness has
been protracted and severe, so that I have
been confined to my sick chamber for more
than five months, and have not taken my
seat in the session just closed.
If any of my constituents have been dis
appointed in not receaving a response to
their business letters, or if the usual distri
bution of public documents, has been neg
lected, my only excuse is, the condition of
my health.
Earley last fall I thaugbt of resigning,
but before putting tnto execution jny inten
tions, some small hope induced the belief
that I should be restored in time to serve a
part of the session. I bad a great desire
to have done so. When it was clear that I
could not serve myself, it was too late for
a successor to have done any good.
I announce to you my wish not to be con
sidered as seeking or desiring to be your
candidate for re-election. I could not in
justice to) myself and family, accept the
nomination, though I might be the choice
of your Convention.
Please consider me as having retired to
the line of private citizens, to try to restore
my lost health, to look after my domestic
affairs, and to look for some comfort in the
shades of retirement that is not met with
eleewhere. The course that circumstances
have obliged me to take, deprives my con
stituents ofthe usual opportunity in such
cases, to express their approval, or disap
proval of my brief services. Whatever
others may think, my own conscience is
quiet on that subject.
I shall cherish in my heart, feelings of
gratitude which time cannot efface, for the
gallant and liberal support I received from
the Democracy and others—States Rights
men—who stood by our party and prin
ciples, on the first Monday in October:
1853.
I respectfully tender to the citizens of all
parties in the district, my best wishes for
their present and future happiness, the pre
valence of sound political doctrines amongst
them, that may redound to the best interest
of our own great State and all her people,
and to the glory and honor of our common
country. WM. B. W. DENT.
P. S.—Democratic papers in the District,
will please copy.

Boston, March 7.—The legislative com
mittee on Judge Loring’s case were in ses
sion six hours yesterday. Theodore Parker
advocated his removal on the ground of a
violation of the moral law or violation of
the law of the State, and justifying such
violation. R. H. Dana, in an argument cf
four hours, contended that the power of re
moval by address was intended only for ex
treme cases ; that it bad been exercised only
once in the course of 75 years, and that from
incompetency. If exercised in this case by
one party, another party of a different char

Benton.
The Washington Globe, after noticing the
destruction of Col. Benton’s house by fire,
says:
We think it worthy of note to write down
that we saw Col. Benton for a few minutes
at a quarter past ten o’clock last night,
when he was about sitting down to re-write
for this morning’s Globe the speech which
he made the day before yesterday on the
presentation of General Jackson’s sword to
Congress, which he had revised, but hadnot
returned to opr office a part only; the bal
ance he had left in his office, and it was
burnt. He said he had it all in his head,
and it should come out before he slept.
We asked him if his house was insured,
and he replied as nearly as wo can recollect
as follows:
“No, it was not insured; but I care noth
ing about that: insurance could not have
saved all that I considered valuable—the
bed on which my wife died, on which I
sleep; her clothes, which were in a trunk
setting at the head of the articles which she
prized most around it—the last things I saw
at night an&lhe first in the morning; and
the papers in the adjoining room, many of
which cannot be supplied. But what I
shall most feel—more, than I now do—will
be the loss of the memorials of my wife,
whose body, still abeve ground, it will be
my first care to remove to St. Louis when
released from Congress, to be buried in the
place in which I had collected the remains
of my dead—my mother, children, grand
children, sister—to take the place by their
side which she and I marked out for our
selves.
Russian Humor.—A French officer serving
before Sevastopol tells the following story
in a private letter to a friend in Paris. It
shows that Russian soldiers are notdeficient
in humor:
We often see a white hag hoisted to the
top of a pole, and hear the trumpet sound
in the Russian ambuscades. This of course
means “flag of truce.” At once the fire
ceases, and a vast number of heads are seen
to pop up from under the earth to the open
air. The Russians hold np to the French
bottles and glasses, as if they invited
them to drink each other’s health. The
French reply by flourshing their tin cans,
and they pledge each other’s health. The
bearer of the flag of truce advances on horse
back, stops at about 100 paces from our
trenches, while tbe nearest French officer
goes forward to receive the dispatches. I
yesterday witnessed a meeting of the kind.
The parlemeniaire courteously took his
glove from his right hand, and shook that
of a Captain of Chasseurs, who had gone
out to meet him. So you see the Russians
are not the Cossacks they have been taken
for. The parlemeniaire retires, the white
flag is pulled down, and the murderous din
recommences as before.
George TjiAW and the Presidency.—
George Law, of New York, has replied to
the letter of tbe Know Nothing members of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, inviting him
to become a candidate for the Presidency,
ne defines his position very frankly. He
opposes sectional agitation; considers the
American movement second only to the
Declaration of Independence; censures
demagogues for having endeavored to band
together citizens of foreign birth, according
to their national or religions creeds, and
advocates a tariff that will yield only suffi
cient to defray government expenses. He
considers a tariff which yields a surplus to
the treasury impolitic, causing frequent con
vulsions, periodical bankruptcy, and ruin to
the currency and every branch of business.
His tariff views, it is supposed, will not
give him any great popularity in Pennsyl
vania, with the Know Nothings.
An Independent Western Republic.—A
letter from San Francisco announces—what
is important if true—that an extensive
secret scheme is advancing there, to form a
new republic, consisting at first of ten
States, three to be comprised within the
present limits of the State of California,
three in Oregon Territory, two in Washing
ton Territory, and two from the Western
portion of Utah aud New Mexico. The
basis is to be a confederated government,
and the President, Cabinet, Senators and
Representatives, are to be chosen by the
direct vote of the people. Five of the States
are to recognize slavery, and the Sandwich
Islands are to be guaranteed their independ
ence. At least so says the letter, but all its
statements require confirmation.
Richmond, March 6.
Shooting of a Mail Agent.—The mail
agent between Raleigh and Weldon, named
McGiven, was yesterday attacked in Weldon
by three men for a trifling debt, who shot
him in the head and body. No less than
six balls were lodged in his person,' and
when the cars left he was supposed to be in
a dying condition.
Elmira, N. Y., March 6.
Heavy Gale.—This place was visited last
night ‘by a fierce gale resembling a regular
West India “ white squall.” Chimneys
were blown down, houses unroofed, &e.—
The car house of Williamsport and Elmira
Railroad was blown and three engines near
ly destroyed. McCoy’s hotel near the depot
took fire during the night, and was conside
rably damaged.
The Nicaragua steamers, on and after the
20th of April, will resume their former du
ties, sailing from New York on the 5th and
20th of each month, the same as the mail
steamers.
A custom house officer, named Cassidy,
has been arrested at New York, charged
with making false entries in a pass-book of
the Irving Savings’ Institution, amounting
to about 81,000.
The Secretary of the Treasury gives no
tice to the holders of certain United States
stock, that he will purchase §1,900,000 of
them between now and the first of March
next.
New York Assay Office.—The new bill
which passed Congress at the last hour, re
lative to the Assay Office in New York city,
is to authorize the assayers to refuse all the
gold sent in on deposit, whether for coinage
or bars. Hitherto the portion ordered for
, coinage could only be nut into rough bars,
aud then sent to Philadelphia for refining
and coinage. No bars but refined bars for
coinage are now to be sent forward.
Another Fugitive Law.- The bill pro
viding for more efficient discipline in the
Navy, Section 11, provides that whoever
entices away any one from tbe naval service
of the United States, or conceals any seaman
and boy, and refuses to deliver him up, is
made subject to imprisonment for one year
and $300 fine.
This provision, says the New York Ex
press, is about the same as the provision in
the Fugitive Slave Law, in the case of a
name, will look for stirring times when lie
gets to Salt Lake, and if the “Latter day
Saints” dont find under his teaching that
even poligamy may be run into the soil, wc

reputation as a scholar, a reasoner, and leg-

his industry or extinguished his ambition,

an unwearied devotion to his family and

Death has come upon his unrelenting mis

has borne this not with the mere composure
of tho stoic, nor perhaps with the consolation
of tbe Christian, but he has endured it with
the resolution of an unconquerable will.—
His opinions, rarely popular, have become

AYER’S
PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
I'hi’.he has long existed a public demand for an
. ; ; e:-iive pnraativc pill which could be relied on ai
sure an.l perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten
sire trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with
-chat success it accomplishes the purpose designed
It is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy tc
make tlio best of all pills — one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit tc
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc
tion or derangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use m any
quantity ; bnt it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several'diseases to which they are ap-
plic ible ate given on the box. Among the com
plaints which have been speedily cured by them, we
m tv mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
■if Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of A.p-
■t fit". Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache,
r.ilious Fever, Fever and Agile. Pain in the Side
tnd Loins : for, in tmth, all these are but the con
sequence of diseased aetiou in the liver. As an
.portent, they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos-
ri'venet.s. Piles, Colic. Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
u; i and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
’’leers and'impurity, of" the blood; in short, any
<tid every case where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly suc-
e-ssfnt cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
F.rysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, -Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
md prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
aew. ’s into healthy action, and restores the appe
tite aed vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their
nr action on ihe circulatory system, reno-
i'ii stiougth .a the bodv, and restore the
a. -n-! i- diseased energies of the whole organism,
hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though i.o serious derangement exists; but un-
u-cessary dosing should never be carried too far,
a.- every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
a phv sic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
AYER’S
CHEERY PECTORAL,
remedy has won for itself such notoriety
tcm ; i cures of every variety of pulmonary disease,
tb-t i, is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use-
fulness and so’ numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from ahirniing and even desperate diseases of the
lungs hv its use. When once tried its supcrioril v
over every other medicine of its kind is too appar
ent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for Ihe distressing and dangerous affec
tions of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the ungs, but for the milder varieties
of Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, Ac. ; and foi
Children it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality i~' . t up to the best that it evei
has been, and that gcr line article is sold by —
