This uistlagalshcd gentleman, one of the
electors for the Stnte at large upon the Breck
inridge and Lane ticket, spoke before the club
on Thursday night last. He was introduced
to the large audience in attendance by Win.
Barnes, one of the Vicc-l’residents. His whole
speech was replete with eloquence, second only
to Yancey’s. Ho is perfectly familiar with
every topic and handles a question in a mas
terly manner. It is a rich and rare treat tolis
len to one so gifted and patriotic as Col. Jack
son. We shall long remember the musical
tones of his thrilling voice, and wo can truly
say that his effort was a masterly one. We
shall he glad to have him come to the city again
during the canvass. One of the excellencies
of this gifted man consists in his truly olassic
education, gilded by all the accomplishments
of polite learning. Ilis declamation is of tho
first, order.

Well Merited.
Instead of giving us fits as we expected, it
seems, from the following notice of the South
ern Banner, that, (lie people of Athens lake the
proper view of our action in regard to the
Gully family. That paper says :
The Atlanta Locomotive, very properly, in
our judgment, rebukes the people of Athens,
or whoever among them were responsible
therefor, for sending in upon the citizens ot
that c ity, our paupers lo be taken care of. It
says they have already more than their share
of that class, hailing from this locality.
in accordance with those views, the Mayor
of Atlanta sent the entire Gully family back
here last week —the very day after their arri
val there.
Vason and Hon. A. H. Colquit
made oapital speeches for Breckinridge and
Lane at Madiaon on Thursday lust. The for

and is one of the alternate elocters for the Bth
district. They are both noblo Knights worthy
the steel of any man. Col. tlartrell is doing
good service in the cause wherever he goes.
His efforts are always good.

A’ Duel between two Brothers —Born
Killed.—The Nachitoches Chronicle, of the
25th ult., reoords the lollowing terrible trag
edy :
A quarrel arose a few nights ago, between
two brothers named Longino, (William and
Burril.) residing a few miles above Campte,
when a proposition being made by one of them
that they should fight it out immediately witli
doubled-barreled shot guns, it was accepted
by the other, and firing simultaneously, both
of them were instantlv killed.
Since the nomination of Bell and Everett for

Mass Meeting and Barbecue at Tunnel
Hill.
Last .Saturday was a great day at Tunnel
Hill. The friends of Breckinridge and Lane
assembled en matte, to give their feelings vent,
and lo be instructed in the ways of polities.
There were about five thousand persons present,
and great enthusiasm was manifested.
At an early hour, Georgia’s great Statesman,
Senator Toombs, was introduced to the audi
ence, by the President of the meeting, (Judge
Crook) and for two hours held the immense
audience, os it were, chained in silence, by the
power of his oratory. It is not within our
power lo give anything like a synopsis of Mr.
Toombs’ speech, and we will not, therefore,
make the attempt. It was a great speech,
worthy of his gifted author. It was strong in
argument, rich in eloquence, deep in his wisdom
powerful in conception, and sublime in deliv
ery. It was sufficient to convince any unpre
judiced and thinking man of the wisdom and
patriotism—nay, the absolute necessity of sup
porting Mr. Breckinridge for the Presidency.
Hon. Wm. H. Styles followed Mr. Toombs in
an able,argumentative effort, after which the au
dience adjourned to the table, where beef, mut
ton, pork, Ac., were’ certainly dealt with very
roughly—as roughly as if Douglas,BcllandLin
coln had been at the stand.
After dinner, “the Demosthenes of the Moun
tains,’ Dr. V. 11. Miller of Home, being loudly
called for, rose, “and in rising seemed a pillar
of State.” He proceeded to address the audi
ence, and as he did so he seemed to sway the
mass of humanity before him as the winds rule
the waves of the sea. At times his wit spar
kled like a diamond in the sun, and then the
shouts of mirth rent the air asunder. Then
he poured forth a pure stream of patriotic
fire when his auditors were ready to leap from
their seats, and shoulder tlieir musket*, in de
fence of their rights as freemen. Again his
eloquence would tower aloft, like the cedar of
Lebanon, and call forth from the crowd shouts
of applause. It was in the midst of this rare
intellectual treat that we heard in the distance
the voice of the iron horse—for once in life an
unwelcome sound. We were reluctantly’ com
pelled to separate ourselves from among his
auditors and repair to the depot,.
Just as we left the latter the fight com
menced, and if they continued all the evening
with as much spirit as was evinced when we
left, there was many a bunged eye and many
a pound of bruised flesh in that town before
the sun went down.
Encouragement to thksuitortkrs of Lin
coln. —We assert it, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the manner in which the
Union-loving followers of Bell and Douglas in
the South are now acting, in swearing allegi
ance to this Union, at all hazards and in any
event, is doing more to strengthen the hands
of the Black Republicans, and will do more to
secure the triumph of Lincoln than ail other
causes combined. Every one will admit that
if the .South could present an undivided front,
and would show these fanatics that wc would
resist further aggression on our rights, even
to the disruption of tho Union, they would
pause, e’er they dared to urge us to extremes ;
but when they see a portion of our people, vas
ciilnting and timid, proclaiming by word and
deed that no possible contingency could induce
them to retire from the confederacy, who will
wonder that the enemies of our institutions
are encouraged to prosecute their infernal
purposes? In view of the opposition South
ern Bights men have to encounter here at
home, the Black Republicans arc not only not
nfraid to put an abolitionist in the I’resideutial
chair, but they will insist on his attacking
Southern institutions in every possible way,
and using ail tho vast influencesucli a position
will give him, to abolish slavery in tlie Stales.
Lincoln and his supporters, no doubt, look to
these Southern Union savers to curb the spirit
of resistance, should it appear among the
Southern “fire-eaters,” as tliey are called in
the event, of his election. Yes ! men here at
home arc looked to by our Northern oppressors
to meet the first storm of Southern resistance,
and shield an abolitionist from Ihe righteous
indignation of an outraged and unoffending
people. — hhfaula Repress.
An Kccentrlc Doctor null Patient.
Os all the professions, trades or occupations
that engage the minds of men, that of physi
cians is the most diversified. In locating lie
has to find out the constitution of those lie is
called upon to visit, for it is frequently thoonse
that success may be owing more to a deep and
thorough knowledge of tho constitution than
applications. As an illustration of this, we will
relate an anecdote of one of our old physicians,
who, if ho finds physio will not cure, tries such
other means as the case may require.
I>r. D—— bad long been the attending phy
sician of a lady considerably past her teens,
and affected with certain disorders incident to
a want of occupation and the care of a family.
Blie sends for the doctor in season and out of
season; he rushes at, a two-forty pace, and
finds liis patient physioally, perfectly well, but
sad and lonely, and of course afflicted with the
blues. All that he can do is lo administer a
tincture with a few drops of peppermint, and
tho patient is well for a day.
On one occasion—a cold blusterous night—
the doctor had just turned in, wrapping him
self snugly in his blanket, with the hope of a
quiet sleep, when a loud wrap aroused him.
“Who is sick?” inquired the doctor.
“Miss Sallic Strickland, sir; she is most
dead : expect she’ll die before you get there.”
“I’ll be along,” says the doctor, exclaiming
to himself, “that Miss Sally ! I’ll try to cure
her this time.”
Tlie doctor plods along through mud and
mire, cold and rain, studdying his application.
When lie arrives at the dwelling of Miss Sally,
he finds her, as usual, in rather a depressed
state of mind.
“Doctor,” she said, feebly, “1 expect to die
every moment; 1 am very low. Can you do
anything for me?”
The doctor feels her pulse ; notiiiug the mat
ter—merely company. The doctor be
comes communicative
“ Miss Sally, I was having a terrible dream
when your servant awoke me.”
“What is it?” she eagerly inquired.
“I dreamed I was dead,” continued the doc
tor, “and descended into the lower regions,
where I met ‘Old Scratch,’ who invited me to
view his dominions. The inmates were engaged
in different occupations; some playing cards,
others swindling their neighbors; in fine, all
the pursuits they followed during their life
vbev evutitiued there. When Satan got through
show ing me round, he exclaimed to the four
quarters of his kingdom that they should all
go to bed—‘for,’ said he, ‘Sally Strickland will
bo here directly, and there’ll be no sleep in my
regions for a month !’ ”
Tlie doctor's speedy departure was increased
to flight by the sight of a broomstick flourish
ing actively iu his rear; but the rnraedy was
effectual.
Duel. —Dr. Win. (j. l’oiudexter of Missis
sippi. and B. L. Verkins oi Alabama, had a
meeting with pistols at 20 paces on Saturday
near the lake. At the first fire, Mr. Perkings
received his adversary's ball across the fore
head, inflicting a severe but not. fatal wound,
as the skull was not penetrated. The duel
grew out of some property misunderstanding.
Dr. Poindexter being the challenger. Another
duel between two other parties, in connection
with the same difficulty, was to have taken
(dace, but. was postponed. Dr. Ohoppiu has
Mr. Perkins in his care.—-V. O. Crescent.

THE DAILY LOCOMOTIVE.
[Co*ununtcated.j
A CARD—EXPLANATORY.
An editorial appeared in the National Amer
ican, of Thursday last, which requires some
explanation from those against whom its force
is levelled.
Regarding some (joints in said article as un
just and illegitimate insinuations as to the
purpose and practical operations of Printers’
Unions, we, as a Committee, on the part of
Atlanta Typographical Union, No. 48, present
frur side of tlie question also, that public opin
ion may have the opportunity of viewing the
matter in its different angles of light, and,
after a thorough understanding of the case,
may cast its weight upon the side of truth and
justice.
The intimated interference of our Union
witii the rights of employers in the manage
ment of their business is, to a great extent, a
gratuitous assumption upon tlie part of the
gentlemen connected with tlie “ Franklin
Printing House,” from which the National
American is now issued. It is simply an effort
to forestall public opinion in reference to our
organization, inasmuch a.- no fair showing of
our designs and demands is laid before tlie
readers of the paper in question.
The sole object and aim of a Typographical
Union is tlie cicjftmn'and protection of tlie
craft. It is no league or combination impell
ed by an unjust principle of imposition and
extortion upon proprietors. It sintplyXssnine*
its legitimate right to affix a reasouaHgcom
pensation for specified service of oINRir and
competent workmen. It is merely tfP agent
or medium through which each individual
makes known liis own estimate of tlie value
of his services, leaving the power of approval
or disapproval entirely in tlie hand- of em
ployers as touching any individual workman.
Tlie basis upon which our scale of prices is
founded, in every instance, is strictly in ac
cordance with (lie principle of common justice,
and, so long ns we are sensible of (his fact,
we are prepared to stand by our first faith,
and battle against all opposition with a gen
erous, yet united energy, confident that, in so
doing we but discharge the high prerogative
of freemen.
As lo the justice of tlie “-trike” now in ex
istence in the American ofliee, we consider it
but necessary to state that a portion of the
hands employed therein, after u fulljmd eco
nomical trial, (some for years) have had tlie
most nnmistakealde proof that the rate of
wages at which tliey were retained was inade
quate to guarantee anything like a
pport for themselves and families. In other
words, tliey have been amply satisfied that
there was not a proportionate increase of pay
to the increased rate of house rent, iirc-wood,
&c. For n full understanding of tlie’ position
in which the printers of Atlanta have been
placed in this particular, it is but accessary
that wc contrast tlie prices paid here with those
obtained in (lie sister cities of Atlanta. In
Macon, Savannah, Augusta, UharJaston and
Montgomery the prices rongo from *l2 to S2O
per week, while in this city they arc from SlO
to sls—the latter prioe being only obtained
by foremen of special departments.
Conceiving it then to be nothing more than
a matter of self-protection, these gentlemen
united, in common with the hands iif other of
fices, in a demand for such increase of remu
neration as would meet their cases. The refu
sal i.f Messrs. Wood, Hnnleiter, Bice & Cos.
to accede to this demand came swdfce’imred
and cmnhatic, leaving them no
gentlemen ot a proper eoiiceptiAii w or noiior,
but tlie course pursued.
A moßt unjust and unwarrantable aspersion
lms been east upon tlie character of tills de
mand. We claim it to lmve been couched in
tlie most respectful language, and free from all
reasonable objection. In proof of this, there
is not the slightest objection to a full, fair, and
impartial publication of the whole matter.
As touching the employment of certain
w orkmen through charily, we have but to re
mark, that each one who may be involved in
(liis charge of ingratitude is satisfied that a
full quid pro quo has, in every instance, been
rendered the philanthropic proprietors in the
invariable service of ten hours daily, and not
uufrcquently longer, for ten dollars per week. —
Tliis strikes us as a new-fangled idea of Char
ity; it at least does not conform lo the Bibli
cal definition of this most admirable and Chris
tian-like grace.
As to “loafing about tlie streets,” wo will be
allowed to remark, that we regard out-selves as
gentlemen, fully privileged, so long as we de
port ourselves correctly, to walk tlie streets of
tliis city as often and as long as wc may see
proper, leaving it to the appropriate authori
ties to determine when this right of freemon
shall be curtailed.
Another point intimated, that of mobbing
our fellow-craftsmen, is too absurd to re
quire, at our hands, any notice, further than
that of silent contempt.

N. lb—All papers friendly to the “Craft”
every where are most respectfully requested
to copy the above card, as it is a matter in
which all honorable priuters are particularly
interested.
We learn from a private letter from Stewart
county, that as yet not a single has
turned up in Lumpkin. We are also informed
that there is only one in Bainbridge, Decatur
county, and only three in the county of phatta
hoochee. Tlrs estimate, we think, can be relied
on. The 2d District is doing well.— Columbus

Health of Charleston.— The t'lulcston
papers of yesterday do not mention anymore
deaths by yellow fever iu that city. The Neirs,
of Mouday evening, says; “we learn that no ad
ditional cases have been reported by any of our
physicians up to the tioid of our going to press.”
Look out for a Scoundrel.— About the lat
ter part of July last, a young man, calling him
self I). A. Anderson, came into this neighbor
hood as a school teacher, and obtained a school
at ML Gillead church (known as Tri kum).
Ills appearance and accent was that of a New
England Yankee, although he claimed to be a
Virginian. From some suspicious cireuustan
ces, he was believed to be an abolitionist; and
those suspicions were well founded, as tvo ne
groes run away at the time he was in the neigh
borhood, under such circumstances as to give
strength to them.
Reopened his school and continued one week.
Last Sunday evening late, he left clandestinely,
and hasnot been heard of since. Mrs. Howard,
with whom he boarded, and others in the leigh
borhood, have been swindled by the scoundrel to
amount of about eighty dollars. We hope that
the Press will pass him around, as we have lit
tle doubt that he is an abolition emissary. He
is spare built, stoop shouldered, rather boyish
face, has lost one front tooth, hair dark and curly,
has little or no beard.— Benton (Ala.) Herald.

John Bell’s Black. Record.
IS OPPOSED TO THE SLAVE TRADE IN
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA! !
“WOULD BE CONTENT TO ABOLISH
SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUM
BIA” !:
“With regard to the constitutional power of
Congress over this subject, I would say that
the only doubt I have of the existence of the
power, either to suppress the slave trade or
abolish slavery V*this District, is inspired by
thereyrget I have for the opinions of so many
distinguished and eminent men, both in and
out of GCugres;, who hold that Congress has
no such power. Reading the Constitution for
myself, / believe that Congress has all the power
over the subject in this district which the State hare
within their respective jurisdictions.—Congression
al Globe, vol. 22. p. 18(18.— John Hell’s Speech.
Again :
“But, however great my respect may be for
the opinions of others on the question of power,
there are some considerations of such liighac
count as in my judgment, to make it desirable
that, unless by common consent the project of
abolition shall be wholly given up and aban
doned, the remnant of slavery existing in the Dis
trict should be abolished at oner; at the present
moment, however, the exciting state of public
sentiment in the South, growingout of the ter
ritorial questions, may seem to forbid such a
course.” — lbid.
And again:
“I would be glad to see all cause of distur
bance and contention in the District wholly re
moved ; but let me say that this never can lie
done by the abolition of slavery, unless it be
accompanied by some adequate provision for
tlie removal or the effective control of the
slaves after they shall be emancipated. With
lids qualification, and in order to test the de
termination of the ??orthin rlgard'to iy fur
ther and continued aggression npon theViouth
ern property, I would bp. content to see si.a
vkry in the district abolished to-hay.” — lbid.
On the abolition of the slave trade in that
District, he said :
“With regard to tlie proposition to suppress
the slave trade in the District, as already sta
ted, / had made up my mind that it ought to be
done, on several good grounds.” — lbid.
in the Senate August 28, 1850, pending the
bill to abolish the slave trade in the Dietrict of
Columbia, and by which any slave, whatever,
brought into the District for sale, or placed
there to lie transferred to any other place and
sold, was to become liberated and free, Mr.
Atchison, of Mo., as he stated at the time, by
way of a test vote in relation to the bill, moved
to lay it on tlie table and thus kill it. And
JOHN BELL voted NO ! —Congressional Globe,
Ist session, 51*1 Cong. p. 1990.
Subsequently, Sept. 10, 1850. pending the
same bill, which was kept alive in partby John
Bell’s vote of Augu-t'2Hih, Mr. Mason, ofVa.,
moved to strike out tlie first two sections of
the bill, and said: “The first of these sec
tions prohibits the introduction of any slave
into the District of Columbia for the purpose
of being sold, or placed in depots to be subse
quently transported to another market.”
Remember, Mr. Mason moved to strike this
section from the bill, and JOHN BELL voted
NO, with Chase and Seward.— Cong. Globe, Ist
session 31 st Cong. p. 1794.
Mr. Mason continued:
“The second section provides for the ABO
LITION of the depots themselves, in which
the slaves are confined in the District of Col
umbia.’’ Mr. Mason moved to strike this sec
tion out of the bill and JOHN BELL voted
NO, with Chase and Seward.— Cong. Globe 1/
session 31 Congsess, p. 1794.
IS JOHN BELL A TRUTHFUL MAN?
Tlie subjoined are the proceedingsof the Ten
nessee Legislature requesting t Mr. Bell to re
deem a solemn pledge lie made before the Scn
nte and the country. But he did not resign
notwithstanding these instructions from the
Legislature of liis State, but held on until ho
was subsequently elected out—remaining as
Jong as he could to give aid aneb comfort to hi-
JOINT RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The act of 1829, commonly called
the Missouri Compromise act, was inconsistent
with the principles declared and laid down in
the acts of 1850, better known as the Compro
mise acts of that year.
And whereas. The Missouri Compromise act
was a palpable wrong done to the people of
the siaveliolding Stales, and should have been
repealed;
And whereas, The principles of the Kansas
Nebraska Bill met our unqualified approbation,
and should have received the cordial support
of our Senators and Representatives in Con
gress.
Wuerea-, One of our Senafors, Hon. John
Bell, in a speeclt delivered against tlie Kansas
Nebraska bill, May 25, 1854, said:
“A noblo, generous, and high-minded Scna
ator from the South, within the last few days,
before the final vote was taken on the hill, ap
pealed to me in a I cannot nar
rate, and which affected me most deeply. The
recollection of it affects and influences my feel
ing now, and ever will I told that honorable
Senator that there was one feature in tlie bill
which made it impossible that I should vote
for it, if 1 waived all other objections. I said
to others who made appeals to me on the sub
ject, that while it would afford me great pleas
ure to be sustained by my constituents, yet if
I was not, I would resign my seat here, the
moment I found my course upon this subject
was not acceptable to them. As for my stand
ing as a public man, and whatever prospects
a public man of long service in the councils of
the country might be supposed to have, 1 would
resign them ail witlfpleasure. I told (hat gen
tleman, that if upon this or any other great
question, affecting the interest of the South, I
should find my view- conflicting materially
with what should appear to be the -ettled sen
timent of that section. I should feel it my im
perative duty to retire.
“I declare here today, that if my country
men in Tennesee shall declare against my
course on this subject, and that shall be ascer
tained to a reasonable certainty, I will not be
seen in the .Senate a day afterwards.’’
Therefore be it resolved by the General Assem
bly of the State of Tennesse, That we fully con
cur with the Hon. John Beil, as to the duty of
a Senator, when the voice of his constituency
has decided against him on a question materi
ally affecting their interests.
Be it farther Resolved, That in our opinion
the voice of Mr. Bell’s countrymen of Tennes
see, in the recent elections, has declared against
his course on tlie Kansas Nebraska bill,aques
tion of vital importance to the South.
Be it further Resolved, That our Senators in
the Congress of the United States, are hereby
instructed and requested, to vote for the admis
sion of Kansas as an independent State, under
what iA termed the Lecompton Constitution,
transmitted to the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, in Congress assembled, by Pres
ident Buchanan, in his message to them, dated
the 2d February, 1850.
Be it further Resolved, That the Governor of
this State forward a certified copy of these res
olutions to our Senators and Representatives in
the Congress of the United States.

THE INVALID.
By SYLVIA A. LAWSON.
I shall not always dwell
Beside this peaceful hearth,
Soon will a tolling bell
Announce me—“gone from earth.”
There tliev will pillow soft
This throbbing head of mine,
Nor hear me sighing oft,
As in the olden time.
w These hands, so thin and white,
r Will ne’er unclasp again,
Nor move, as through these nights
Os heavy, restless pain
Now—now I may not lie
Out on the short green grass,
To look up to yon sky
And watch the white clouds pass.
I may not bathe my face
In early morn’s sweet dew,
Nor move me hence a pace
The long bright days al’. through ;
1 may not hear the wind
Breathe through the maple grove ;
I may not look to find
The early flowers I love:
The little silver stream
That winds down through the glade,
Where once I used to dream
Beneath tlie birch trees’ shade,
Sings all the day ; but 1
Shall never hear it more,’
Tlie pleasant hours go by
And shut the open dooj^^^.
But soon 1 shall lie down,
And take my peaceful rest,
With sunshine all around,
And flowers above my breast.
Then o’er ruy narrow bed
Bright moons will wax and wane,
But this poor throbbing bead
Be free from all its pain.
My soul doth yearn to pass
Where Summer noons are fanned ;
And when you say at last,
“Gone to the spirit land,”
You will not weep for me,’
Nor wish me here again,

Supposed Spanish Interventions on St.
Domingo.—Com. Poor, of the sloop-of-war St.
Louis, roports to the Navy Department at Wash
ington, from St. Domingo city, that on the morn
ing before bis arrival, the 2‘Jtli of July, a Span
ish screw frigate landed a number of emigrnts
with arms. It is suspected that the Spanish
government has ulterior views of recovering its
authority over that section of the island. More
emigrants are expected from Venezuela, ostensi

patent medicines, as it was the first draught I was ever in
duced to quatT. But thanks be to God, it was a balm, and
a most efficient and grateful one, too. The most aggra

ular beating of the heart, immediately after taking foed,
attended with great prostration, and very frequently vio
lent attacks of palpitation, lasting from twelve to twenty
four hours, leaving the stomach so perfectly powerless that
even a spoonful t*l milk or rice water would seem bnrden

taken three bottles : since then, at intervals, I have taken
two more.

it is extremely grateful and refreshing as a beverage,
which is a charm that but few medicines can boast of. I
would, sirs. mst heartily and earnestly beg all who are
afflicted with Dyspepsia iu any form to test your Oxygena
