Beacon he#o correspondent, at Washington City, who, luxuriating in the advantange? of s location at head quarters, has kindly come to the rescue of the 4th Dis trict and pointed out the man of the right metal." Here is what the gentleman in Washington, who has kindly offered u.- his assistance, says: Dent I see declines the canvass. I regret - the fact, and the cause that compels it.— Give us a man of the right moral in his place. I have many friends in the 4th. whom 1 would like to see representing that District in the National Councils; but (com petent in every other way as they are) most of those I would personally prefer possess too much of the milk of human kindness to cope with the political Charlatans who will swarm the halls of the Capita! next winter. We want an old line Democrat, one who ha« seen some hard service, and is accustomed to receive as well as to give knocks, one springing from the people and who wan'd be most likely to rally the people in such a crisis. Do you ask where is such to be found? I reply, have you not Ramsey of Atlanta? True as steel, fearless as Ceesar. and active and reliable as he is fearless and true. His earlv life was devoted to the maintenance of his cherished principles in the 8th District, where they were well nigh crushed by the combined powers of Stephens and his co-workers. Ramsey, though in a minority that never quailed, fought these Goliahs until the very enemy was forced to applaud their persevering and faithful de votion. The Whigs hate him—aye, with a cordial, deep, abiding hate—they belie him -—they slpnder him—they grin at him— but they fear him, for they know he bites. He is shrewd, cool, cautious. In a word, he is the man for the democracy in a Con gress Chock full of abolition knaves. Stir the people up—rouse them to a sense of the danger that threatens. We want Chastian from the 5th and Ramsey from the 4th, and then huzza for young* CHEROKEE. The Gas Enterprise.—We are much pleased to learn from Mr. Helme, the con tractor, that all the stock in the Atlanta Gas Light Company has been subscribed. As the question of having our city lighted by Gas has thus been decided, the Company will proceed immediately with the necessary arrangements, and it is their intention, we understand, to have the works completed and in operation, at farthest, by Christmas next. ■ The attention of readers generally, and of the ladies in particular, is invited to the advertisement of Mrs. J. M. Boring, who has recently returnod from the North ern cities with a beautiful and carefully se lected assortment of articles in the Millene- ry lino. She says she is not to be excelled in the cheapness of her articles by tlio “Mil liner Merchants.” Cincinnati, April 3d, P. M.—The city re mains quiet. Gn an investigation it has been ascertained that the ballot box of the I2th ward contained 55 more tickets than there were names recorded on the poll books. One of the Judges insisted on throwing out the entiro vote, hut the others would not agree, and while the Judge was counting the votes a body of men entered the room and took the box, containing the tickets, forcibly from them, and then burnt the ballots and tall}’ sheets in the open stveet! Thus, the votes of the 11th and 12th wards have been destroyed! The remaining wards give Taylor (Amer ican) 477 majority. The American party contend that there has been a largo amount of illegal voting. It is reported that Mr. Taylor will not accept the office under the circumstances. Cincinnati. April 3 0 o’clock, P. M.—The greatest excitement prevails hero to-night, and there is every indication of a renewal of the fearful scenes of last night. The piece of cannon taken f.om the Germans yesterday by the Americans, was quietly convoyed from the public landing this after noon by the Germans, which causes much excitement. An immense number of pea)do have now assembled tit Fith street and market Space, awaiting the return of a deputation which has been sent to Freeman’s Hal), across the canal, the headquarters of the Germans, to demand the return of the cannon. The mob have resolved, if the gun is not delive red forthwith, they will go and tako it hv force. This they will do. if necessary, in which case there will no doubt be another serious riot. [After waiting until near 11 o'clock last night, it was found impossible to got any thing later from Cincinnati.—Reporter.] ' Cincinnati, April 4, 1 o’clock.—There has been no fighting to day. The Germans delivered up to the connon, but retained the wheels. The parties nro now quarrelling about the latter. The military are under arms. The indications are that the difficul ties will terminate without further blood shed. The river is falling slowly. Flour $8,85aS9. Whiskey has advanced to 27 J. No change in provisions or gro ceries. Philadelphia, April 3d.—In the Demo cratic county convention to day the dele gates suspected of Know Nothingism were examined under oath, and witnesses also were examined in relation to the accussn- tion. Those who refused to testify, or where the charges were proven, wore expelled.— Among them was Win. S. Allen, the present Democratic county commissioner, who wns expelled by vote, and on refusing to depart he was forced out. fUorrM|ioad«ie« of the Attest* Unify taMHm Sew Verk AtUt New' . > •- A letter from Paris states that M.

Chattanooga in a State of Siege.—On Thursday last about forty salt boatmen ar rived in Chattanooga from the Virginia Salt Works, in charge of sixteen salt boats, con taining 4,000 barrels of salt. These boat men became somewhat unruly under the in fluence of “Pike’s ^ Magnolia,” and th eat- ened the unconditional destruction he town and its extensive suburbs. The Uty Fathers, however, were equal to the emer gency, and prepared to sell “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors,” on the point of the bayonet. The “Lookout Rifles” were called out, and armed to the molars, they marched in solid phalanx, their furbished bayonets glittering in the moon light and their rear cheered with an enthu siastic and steadfast populace, consisting of negroes and children, to the river. The sn- linedisciples were dismayed, and surrendered without throwing a rock. The basis of the “fdftr points” wnsagreed upon, and the milita ry having discharged a*destructive fire upon Walden’s Ridge, “marched back again,” and were discharged. The officers and pri vates will apply immediately f<>r the bene fits of the late law for the relief of the sol diers of the country.—Nashville Whig.

Onr Itch ing curiosity craves fresher excitement, so toddle out the babies for the grand baj^y fair to be he’d it Burnum’s Musuem the coming June. To save ispirlng parents needless trouble, we might aswell renounce that common infants, bore in the old- "mbioned way, one at a time, will stand no chanoc for the prises. Babies in triplets, In quarterns, in luinterns, babies by the litter, according to meth od prescribed to native and mothers by high-priest Tarn a in, can alone expect to compete successfully. Nor will it answer to diffuse—so to spe-ak one baby into several and increase the number at. the ex pense of individual quantity. On no! Each of them, four, five or half dozen, as the case may be, ■nust. shine out a perfect specimen of babyhood, iblo to notch many pounds of honest avoirdupois, -idip-'se, oily, without wart, freckle or blemish, in short, must be able to undergo the close scrutiny of the committee of experienced matrons who will lecide their respective merits and adjudge tbe prize. They must have the fortitude to be in rows alt along the Musuem, to stare unblinkingly like Chinese dolls, to smile when strangers pinch their plump limbs and concealed pins goad them, to suck their little thumbs prettily, and wear nice caps. They must serve as models, so that moth ers whoso previous efforts have fallen short of this pattern excellence may bo stimulated to further rentures, and maiden candidates for the honors of wifehood and maternity may await the crisis with a beau-ideal full in their mind’s cyo. Barnum has uow on exhibition a fat lady—a Daniel Lambert in petticoats—weighing, as per bills, 600 pounds and girthing 7 feet in the waist, and her little pug- nosed attendant several times each day, after rapid ly sketching her life to the gaping spectat&tors composed for the most part of country folks who come to town to see the shows, calls aloud, “Now, ladies and gentlemen, this interesting and intelli gent young woman will turn around that yon may see the breadth of her back." She does “ turn round," and groat is the wonderment of the great. But wo can safely predict that when the show of fat babies has worked its proper results, amplitude of waist and breadth ef back will become too com mon for wonder. Place aux Enfant*. Several plans for the extension and beautifying of the City Hall are now awaiting tbe choice of the Common Council. One of these, proposed by a Mr. Gilbert, is in good favor, and, if adopted, will give us a building perhaps unsurpassed in the world for municipal purposes. It contemplates a four storied structure, with fronts on Broadway, Chambers and Centre streets, forming a quadran gle with the present City Hall, and enclosing a central open court of two acres. The principal front on Chnmbars street will be 520 feet, the wings on Broadway and Centre streets 385 feet, the whole to contain about 150 rooms. The structure is to be o; white marblo, with an elaborate and costly ornamentation. The cost, which is roughly esti mated at two and a half millions, is perhaps the strongest argument against it, and may cause its rejection. One of the men who nover read a newspaper came to town on the 30thult. Of course ha wasn’t posted up, aud fell a victim to the “ Patent Safe swindle,” a trick which has been explained proba bly in every news sheet in the country. Ho went innocently over to Hoboken with two newly made but ardent friends, and allowed one of these to stako his entire pile that the piece of white paper icat in the “ pretty curiosity just brought from Canton " by tho other. The borrower loses and gives our vordant New Hampshire friend a cheque for $800, which, on presentation, finds, much to his surprise, is worthless. A year’s subscription to his country paper would have saved him $186. But the charitably disposed among us have bled for the last two mouths under a much cleverer im position, cleavercr because devised by woman who, when she makes up her mind to be naughty, is cunningly so. There nro two Amiable ladies who have been in the habit of soliciting contributions for charities. One distributes tracks in a black s IU d-ess and converses with intelligent gentility.

About a year after thi* he s- Id his half in the house and lot to my oldest son, who has paid him in full for it, and like m\self is without a ti’leor even a bnutl fur a title, thus has he perpetrated a double fraud upon both father an 1 brother.

Apr. 9th. 1P55 WARNER LYON. [Extract from the Metropolitan. Washington, P. C-] The Great Gas Invention. Wo have repeatedly spokeu in the Metro politan of the new and valuable G;is pro duced by Dr. McConnell, of Washington, from common wood. The invention is one of the greatest and most praciical importance now before the American people. It is t- work a complete revolution in the process <>t lighting the world, aud may he rendered very subservient in all manufacturing, me chanical, artistic aud culinary purposes.. A scientific examination of this American Wood Gas shows the following results: 1st. One pound of the best kind of yellow pine wood will produce eight cubic feet of the best illuminating Gas. The Gas can he made from all other kinds of wood, but pine is the most appropriate and profitable. 2d. The charcoal produced from the wood, in the manufacturing of the Gas, is worth more than the wood was before the Gas was extracted poor children amounted to nearly one thousand, and many very deserving subjects were not paid for, partly from the fact of their not being reported by the Receiver of Tax Returns, whose duty it was to report widows and orphans as wall a* those paying taxes, and partly from the Grand Jury's not knowing the parents whose names were not reported with the scholars. I perceive those schools have increased this year and may reasonably suppose more scholars will be returned and necessarily more funds needed; but as some funds are in hand I would suggest that the same amount of tax this year will be sufficient, viz: 25 per cent. The Tax Collector has not paid in full the taxes assessed tor this purpose for last year, but informs me ho is using the proper means for the collection of the same. Some more may be collected and some insolvenccs may be looked for, whieh, together with the amount col lected this year, at 25 per rent, may enable me to pay in full all accounts rend* red in this year. The idea of 25 per coat for poor school pnrposes being oppressive is fallacious, as I have not heard any say they were not willing to aid, as need be, foi tbe improvement and moral condition of our rising generation, which is enlisting the minds of tht whole country. I therefore hope your honors will look more to tho benefit to be derived from a good and whole some school system, which can only be effected by paying teachers for their services, than to the • mount drawn from yqpr citizens by way of taxa tion for such purposes- JOS. H. MEAD, Ordinary. We fully concur in the recommendation of the Ordinary, and recommend 25 per cant for pooi schooj purposes. Yfe hare not had tbe Tax Collector’s book before us, conseqcently we can make no report on that department. We would have beeu glad to devote more of our time to the business of the county, but owing to so many appeal cases, we have done all that we could. Wc have enquired into the arrangement exist ing between tbe city authorities and the Xuferiot Court in relation to tbe use of the West end of tbe City Hull ns a Court Room, which guarantees t< the county the free use of said West end of Cit\ tinll for said purpose for dn indefinite period »1 ime, subject to be annulled by the eity giving tl:i uunty eighteen mouths notice. Considering thi. arrangement, whieh was expected would he made, •end was used as an argument in favor of a new louuty iu getting up the petition, aud which. w< .hiuk, was the chief instrument in its favor, the city have iu good faith nobly responded to the ex p.-ctutiuus of the people. Such a magnificent .ouse as tbe City liall needs no encomiums from u‘. Long may it stand—long live the interest ot cue city. We find that arrangements have been made for the building of u substantial Brick Jail on a site within convenient distance of the City Hall, tht contract bus been let out at the sum of nine thou- ,and dollars, to be completed by thc 24th of Sep tember next. We would respectfully recommend that our State Legislature return to annual sessions, as we believe .t would be to the interest of the people. Iu taking into consideration the situation of public roads, we find them in tolerably good order, with the exception of the road leading from At- la- ta to Cumpbellton by way olThos. Kennadv’t, which should be put in better order as soon as practicable; also u portion of the McDonough road near Atlanta needs sc me work. In taking leave of the Court, we take the liberty of tendering onr thanks to his Honor, Judg Bull, ior the polite and dignified manner in wnieh he has thus far conducted the business of this Court, and from our limited acquaintance with him be lieve him well qualified to fill the office he now occupies. To our Solicitor General we also tender our thank?, wo commend his ability and exertions in every legal way to forward the business of the Court, and, in our opinion, taking every proper step to put down and punish every species of crime.

There is no unpleasant or sickly odor in wotid Gas, as there is in that of coal,-or rosin Gas. and is equal to any other Gas in its illuminating quality. 6tb. The cost of wood Gas works is much less than that of any other Gas works known. Coal Gas fixtures can be uted for wood Gas.

It waa about the number of State eases that had their origin in rum—the taxation—an noyance—rowdyism, and so forth, that all spring from this same bad liquor. Though we, as just chroniclers, must admit, that this is an unprosperous picture, and in some hands yields a due amount of pathos and strong talk, nevertheless it sounds so like an old tale that we are all left free to discuss the same points as the speaker advances without losing our mental equilibrium. We are much pleased to learn that Mr. Overby is a temperate as well as & temperance lec turer, and that he rebuked, by his praise worthy example, the previous efforts of some of his friends and supporters made a short while since upon the same spot and in the same line of discussion. But what we es pecially desire and ask is, that we may be informed distinctly of tbe fact, is Mr. Over by in favor of positive and direct legislation against tbe sale, and tbe use also, of spirit uous liquors? We are not talking about ihe use of liquor for running machinery, (“ mechanicle perposes,”) but for the real good it d-.es one. Are we to understand that the Prohibition party are now claiming our votes because, if in power, they will not allow us to buy or sell liquor to drink—to drink, that’s the point? We will state why we suspect this matter is most carelessly suffered to remain in great mystery. We first heard qt Newnau, that Mr. Overby avowed that the anti-rummers were in favor of throwing off the “ license law ” restrictions, and making itan open field and a fair fight to all sellers of the “ar dent.” We took this view of it ourselves in our first notice of Mr. Overby’s platform and so did others of our press. To-day. however, a highly intelligent friend, and one well accustomed to keep the run of an argument himself, assured us that Mr. Over by had been altogether misrepresented by this view of his position or he had changed his ground in a most material matter since his Newnan speech. For our friend distinct ly stated his recollection of the point made yesterday to be, that while the Prohibition ists were in favor of repealing all license laws, they were at the same time in for re taining every disqualifying clause attaching to those same statutes. That is to say, while Mr. Overby would repeal a law allow ing one to sell liquor under a license, he would at the same time punish him for vio lating these very same laws, if he sold to any one without a license. There may be something really good in all this—there should be by all means for it is certainly -'oing a long ways after it—all round your elbow to get to your thumb. Was all this trouble taken to keep from blurting it right out, that if a man is dry and wants a drink ; hat he shall not have it—that in Georgia Mr. O. thinks we had better not sell or buy ■ iquor and that for his part we shant if he can help i\ This would be understandable. A startling truth like this would go slap (trough ten thousand ears in Georgia with r.he crash of big thunder. But it appears that upon this particular point we must await further revelations.— We said we were in doubt, because another friend who heard Mr. Overby at the City Hall was just as certain ns the gentleman first referred to in this article could be as to his recollection, that Mr. Overby yesterday stuck to his Newnan platform, and w’&s in favor of hoisting all the gates and letting the “peach and honey” flow. Now here are two intelligent auditors who went to hear ind learn upon this identical point, whose recollections of the Prohibition platform as la'd down yesterday are directly in conflict. Are we indeed so unlucky as to have two “wings”of the same Know-Nothing party to fight. We would not for anything whatever willingly misrepresent any man or set of men and shall take pleasure, whenever we aro so unfortunate as to do others injustice iu our columns, of making all proper amends.— But we do, in the most emphatic manner, protest against any more masked purposes in our party organizations or any other than tangible and well defined issues upon which the parties before the country can go to trial. Any other mode of conducting a party contest will settle nothing and will fail of reaching either the confidence or the judgment of the people. “Toombs and . s tefhens.—We are glad to learn that both of these distinguished gen- riemcn are open and avowed in their oppo sition to this secret political orginization— Know Nothingism. With their well known influence with the great body of what once construed the Whig party, and the almost united opposition of the Democrat party, we have nothing to fear on this subject.”— Macon Telegraph. Fortunately for Messrs. Toombs and Ste phens. the Macon Telegraph is not very re liable authority, to those who are in seurch of truth, in any matter connected with those gentlemen. Messrs. Toombs and Stephens are not members of the order, but their sym pathies are with the order in all proper ef forts to relieve the country from the influ ence of the miserable tricksters and time serving damagngues, who constitute the present miserable, vescilating, weak admin istration. There then, we hope the public itch to know where the Twins stand, is hereby re lieved. “ Not members of the order,” in deed, “ but their sympathies” are with the order to relieve the country, Ac., Ac. Well, good pious souls, what are they about ? hat ing tricksters (?) as they have always done, that they do not become “ members of the order,” and thereby givo aid and comfort to Know Nothing patriotism in its efforts to redeem the country ? If believing men to be right and then standing aloof with your pitiful sympathies when you ought to be at work co-operating—if pretending great in dignation at corruption in high places and then skulking from the place that belongs to you, in tl ' v. f those who say they fight agaii; . - ■- > ption, be not “mise rable, vascihun ^ -‘::d weak,” then what can be? If the friends of these celebrated men who think their merits exceed tho bounds of ail previous reward and who rack their invention for new honors to confer upon them, can think that it is handsome or dutiful conduct in a public man to stand aloof habitually at all critical conjunctures until the signs of the times intimate the safe side to take, then we think their no tions of tbe “miserable vaseilating and weak ’’ stand greatly in need of an enlarged oharity. If Messrs. Toombs and Stephens ever contributed a mite towards deciding the public mind upon one doubtful political question, ve would like to know wlien it was. Should the Virginia elections go Kuow-Notiiisg-wi»e we predict the syrupa* ization. If the organisation rabeerves i end then must that be based upon such prin ciples of public duty and upon such a perfect same titneW shall leave no doubt upon tbe mind of any man that what has been done by the party has been fairly done. Party conventions, thus fairly representing the in terests of the public and the men who are deemed worthy by their friends to defend those interests in public stations, should have thrown around all they do the very weightiest sanctions—so weighty indeed that to oppose the voioe of the party so expressed should place the man who does it outside the pale of the party to which he professes to belong.— It is common, we know, for objectors very nice about matters that don’t suit them to cant against the morality of this, but it is all cant. Let the will of the party be fairly expres sed, then let every man stand by to do bis duty. But we would ask our friends if in view of the fact that conventions are shortly to be called for the express purpose of nom inating candidates to represent the party will it not inevitably give rise to hard feel ing, and a suspicion among those who desire to see their particular friends advanced, that to allow the Party Press, to take sides for any particular individual to the exclusion of others is giving unfair, advantages to Ed itorial favorites. We have ever , thought that a party paper should stand perfectly, perpendicular between aspirants of the same party—at last we speak of tbe Democratic press, Whigs have their own ideas of policy and fair dealing, and what is more, we are glad, we have no toleration for them. We wish to be understood. The distinguished gentleman, spoken of by two of the Demo cratic Journals of the 4th District as their choice for Representative of that District, we would not disparage in any way, nor would we trouble our readers with any ex pression of the appreciation in which we hold that gentleman. Should the party select Judge Warner as its candidate we shall leave no duty un performed in attempting to give effect to the party will, and we know that in his hands the interests of the District will be fitly rep resented. What we say here will, with equal justice, apply to our friends in the 3d. And if any thing was wanting to prove our sincerity in the word we are now put ting in for the harmony and union of the Democracy, we are sure that it is' more than supplied by the-fact that what we say in re gard to Judge Warner is equally applicable to our friend, Mr. L. Q. Lamar, of Macon. For if we were called upon to name one j whom we regarded as among the most mag nanimous and truthful of uten—the best of friends—ore of the most enlarged capacity of mind, and that mind the most thor oughly disciplined and capable of achieving as much as any man of his age, we should point to Mr. Lamar as coming nearer to this high standard than any man we ever knew. But, for all this, we would not advise that any one should urge his claims out of tho proper forum. Those who have done well will deserve well, and none should be afraid that their lights have been burning under a bushel all this while. For our part we are ready to surrender private preferences in deference to the better judgment of the Convention—but we ardently hope that the party will, in every case, select its best and truest men, for we may depend upon it, that timid and indifferent intellects will be sadly cut of place in the next Congress. [From the N. 0. Pirxyune. 3d inst.] The « real Race. The most brilliant event in the sporting annals of the American turf, giving, as it has, the palm to the renowned Lexing ton, came off yesterday over the Matai- rie Course, and its result greatly sur passed the most ardent hopes and enthusi astic expectation of tbe friends of the win ner, and the lovers of the turf sports. The day was the loveliest of the whole season. As the hour appointed for the great contest approached, the town was all asiir with the excitement incident to the occasion. Yehicles of all sorts were in requisition, and our beautiful level Shell Roads wete Ailed with them from the'last paving stone to the gales of the course. The display In equi tation during that busy part of the day which may be defined as “ Going to the Race,” were almost as amusing and exciting as the greater event, for witnessing which so many thousands were intent. Tbe judges selected for the occasion were Gen. Stephen M. Westmore, upon the part of the Virginia gentlemen ; Arnold Harris, Esq., for Mr. TenBroeck, and John G. Cocks, Esq., the President of the Metairie Jockey Club, as umpire. The timers were the non. Duncan F. Keener, Capt. W. J. Minor, and Stephen D. Elliott, Esq. It being the first event of the season, there was the usual bustle at the gates, the dis tribution of the members’ badges and the ed for action, and as he started up th* to do that utiful and around juet reached the tapped, he intended he was run too. _ implished in L47i, (the first half mile in 53 seconds.) Upon reaching the stand it was intimated mu the beginning of tho first i spectful distance he kept in . T certainly have done him an injury rather nftic~4BrBgflgw enough for Lexington,to.hear the .^ound of his hoofs. The pace in the second mile visibly de creased ; Arrow, who was started before its Commencement, waiting about 30 yards be hind Lexington. In the third mile. Arrow closed the gap, and Lexington hearing him, was a little more anxious, and slightly in creased his pace. Upon entering the fourth mile Arrow was stopped and Joe Blackburn went at ^biin again, hut as in the first'in stance he was “like chins in porridge,” of no benefit.. Lexington darted off in earn est, running the last mile, iu T.48J. He reached the head of the front stretch in 6:55, running its entire length in-241 seconds.— The whole time of the four miles in 7:19|, carrying 103 pounds. Giipatrick being 3 pounds over weight. That the course was in admirable condi tion, we need not assert, but that we have seen it in better order for safety and for time, v;e think we may assert. The writer of this was not present when Lexington and Lecorate met last spring, and can therefore make no comparison, but agrees with “A Young Turfman,” that the extreme hard ness of a track might prevent a horse from fully extending himself; which must liavo been the case with Lexington yesterday.— He lost his left fore plate, and half the right one; and Giipatrick, at the drawgates, the last half mile had no little difficulty in keep ing him on his course, Lexington making violent effort to swerve to the right where it was soft and heavy. With regard to the time, not a doubt can be entertained, the of.’cial being slower than any other. butside, by many experienced timers, it was made iu 7:19£. *" The excitement attending the progress of this remarkable race cannot be described It wns intense throughout, and to those who had no opportunity of taking note of time, Lexington’s deceptive, fox-like gait could not have given them hopes of success. The joyousness aud hilarity everywhere visible, which followed the announcement that Lexington was the victor, showed the feeling of the majority of the vast assemblage. It must be a source of the highest grati fication to the rider of Lexington that he guided him through his perilous journey successfully, despite the prophscies and hopes of defeat that attended him. In. this connection we may fearlessly assert that through a long erreer of ucefulness and suc cess of more than twenty years upon the turf, the name of Gilbert \\ . Patric, (better known as Giipatrick, the rider,)has never been tainted with even the b eiuh of suspi cion, and that the bright escutcheon of his name remains untarnished; and as this is perhaps his last appearance in public, it is the writer’s hearty wish that he may live to enjoy uninterrupted flow of worldly ejimfort and that when death calls hitu to answer that to which all living must respond, he may be full of j ears and honor. The name of Giipatrick and Lexington atie Inseparably connected with the greatest achievement upon the American turf. That this great race will go down to gen erations jet unknown, ns the fastest ever made, is the honest conviction of the writer.

The telegrapmc news ot yesterday con firm, and more than confirm, the indications of the day before. It seems probable that not only has the pro-slavery ticket prevail ed, but that not even a single Free-Soilcr has been elected to the Legtsla ure. This is a most extraordinary and interesting re sult. When the Nehraska-Kansas bill was passed, we took it for granted, that on the ordinary principles of colonization, those Territories would he filled up from the re gion that had the most redundant popula tion, and that all the South could possibly gain was in the abjuration by Congress of the assumed right to determine whether the Territorial Governments should, or should not allow the existence of slavery. But it was not longafterthe passage of this bill, that the scheming North, always knock ing out its own brains by Collision with its own projects, determined as a master stroke of policy, to force the coloniza ion by a hir ed inundation of Abolition adventurers.— So sure were they of success that they boast ed of the means, and all the world became acquainted with their purpose of colonizing a pledged Abolition population on the Wes tern border of Missouri. This is the true secret of the rapid settlement of Kansas by the slaveholders. They were challenged to a trial of strengt l with the free-soilers, and the stake was their own domestic peace and prosperity. They have fought the first bat tle and the result is ominous of the final is sue. They have gained a victory, in which the free-soilers are nowhere. The South would not probably have con tested this field at all, if the contest had not strangers’ badges, the admissions to the dif- — ferent stands, and, from the character of the j been forced upon them ; but when the srrug- event, an unusual rush of carriages, cabs,! gle became inevitable, it is glorious to see buggies, waggons, saddle horses and foot how the spirit of Kentucky and Missouri passengers; and, by 3 o’clock, the course presented a most brilliant appearance.— There were representatives of e\ ery section of the country, and almost every State in the Uuion, and among them we were happy to see a goodly show of the fairer portion of creation. The field inside the course presented a most animated appearance, and the feeling planters rose up, and witn resistless force they planted the Southern standard on the plains of Kansas. Ali honor to them 1— They have not only done an act wise in ref erence to this emergency, but they have af forded a lesson that we hope will lie tong cherished and repented by the people of the South. That lesson is the right and power of self defence.

We do hope that in every section of the State the Know-Nothing issue will be openly fearlessly met, even if that course on onr part shall invite the fiercest conflict with our opponents. There is no use in mincing our terms or slacking our blows in dealing with the K. N. heresy. For, if anything can be more deadly iu its future consequences to the integrity of the Republican sentiment of our people than concealed political de signs—secret proscription of one class and avowed disfranchisement of another because of-birth and religion, we should like to hear what that thing can'be. We have nothing to loose by plain speech in dealing with a new name. The evil is no worse than it has always been, unless we regard that sort of daring that now expresses sentiments once hid, but which have been always in the heart an evidence of increasing obliquity. We have long since felt that this American ism was old Whiggery breaking out under a new and in ire malignant type. And thu’ it would have argued a great distrust of mo tive and a very hard censure upon tho puri- ty of tho Repuhli::an charac'or of any jartj here to have intimated a belief that matten would have proceeded to the dangernui lengths to which Know-Xothing'sm hai carried them, wo yet from the first never doubted that war, and war to tho knife, waj intended to be made by the Subterraneans upon the principles and administration that Democrats sustained. The marked change that every one sees has taken place in the conduct of almost every Whig paper in the State in the last fortnight towards the K. N’s. rnu-t convince eiery Democrat who en tertained theidea that he could maintain hie old and cherished principles while healloirehi himself to be swallowed up by the “secret order,” that this was a vain hope. Every such Democrat will 60on see, if he has not al ready been fully satisfied, that Kuow-Noth- ingism, when it promised to hold in check the hosts of abolition and to bring the gov ernment to a safe and sane policy where Southern interests were concerned, promised what it could not, or would not, perform.— While, in lieu of this bright hope, we have had substituted a system of domestic perse cution and proscription that really allows our foes to strike down a large class of men in the free States who have nevor taken sides against us by word or deed. A pretty way, this, of strengthening the South. Had the Irish taken a stand for the abolition ists or the Catholic priesthood furnished them subsidies, os nearly all the other churches had done, we never -would have heard % syllable about the danger that the State of Georgia was in from 6,000 foreign ers, or that the Pope was about to be after us with fire and faggot. This most pittifnl twaddle we must endure to hear and are teased to believe all because the larger part of the foreign vote—espe cially the Catholic portion of it—has always gone with tho Democracy and the Whigs have never been able to take it away from us. Gen. Scott tried to seduce them with his soft blarney about “ the rich brouge,” but it would not all do, and seduction fail ing they now try force. We are agreed with our Cass friends in the propriety of speaking home to these men and of leaving no words of denunciation and warning un spoken. For if the South is prepared to uphold a political party whose principles must inevitably lead to civil bloodshed and commotion we wish to know it. The soon er tho better. Here we were weak enough —distracted and divided enough before, heaven knows, without introducing into our midst devices of outrage aud oppression as if on purpose to finish the work that North ern fanatics began. It has been, we allow, a deep laid, a profound scheme to accomplish its real purpose—the division and weaken ing of the South. That Know Nothingism can effect any thing else exceeds tbe wildest dream of the wildest visionary. [From the Baltimore Patriot, 7th inst.] Full Details per Baltic.
