Dear Scare:—l cannot forbear again giving you and my Temperance IrDnda and the public a tew items in regard to the progress of Temperance afoot Palmetto and Newnan : The 4 h of J uly, 1857, in Palmetto forms an epoch so far as Palmetto is concerned in its history. We. (the Sons.) had worked hard for several pre vious days to celebrate the dav, not only bv read ing the Declaration of Independence, but upon temperance principles, connected with our Sabbath School enterprise. The day arrived —at 0 o'clock ! we assembled in the spacious Masonic Had. i ere the amilieg faces of the Sons, and the presence of the ladie- attached to our Divisions, we formed the procession with badges and regalia on, in the following order: —lst, music ; 2d, ladies of our Division, and ladies friendly to Temperance; Di vision—on ore left all the girls in white belong ing to the Sunday School, followed by the boys. In this order w•* marched to the church; after mu sic the Declaration of Independapoe was r< and bv Dr. Mclntosh—music—and then* l addressed the crowd', I wiil not say with what success, but will ,eay we were btisy in the afternoon—we received aod initiated ten, one gentleman and his lady and thr* lovely and accomplished daughters among the number. llow do you supp. se your old un de fok do ring these ceremonies. We meet again to night, and expect to innitiate several more.— These triumphs are but specimens of what might be done everywhere iu Georgia if the Sohb would goto work iu good earnest to revive their fallen Divisions. Sabbath morning, the sth arrives, the Sun rises in a serene sky, and a toiling bell summons our Sabbath School to church. It was a pleasing eight to see the littlepratlerw up to the rosy youths of botli sexes, assembling to read and hear lessons in tb word of God—seventy-four Sabbath School scholars in attendance. It was h singular inci dent, that all the officers, tutors and tu tresses that morning belonged to our Division, yet so it was. I preached at 11 o’clock, A.

Gentlemen :— I have the honor toacknowlidge the receipt of your letter, informing roe that I have been unanimously nominated by the Convention of the Democratic party of the State of Georgia, as their candidate for the office of Governor, in the ensuing election. I accept the nomination and acknowledge, with gratitude the distinguish ed honor which has been conferred upon me by the Democracy of Georgia in Convention assem bled. The circumstances of nay nomination pre clude the idea that I have made any promises, either express or implied, and I shall neither make nor intimate any to any one, as to the distribution of Executive patronage in the event of my elec tion. If your nomination voluntarily tendered, should be ratified by niv follow citizens at tbe ballot box, I shall therefore euter upon the discharge of the duties of the important official trust, which may be committed to m * perfectly free and independ ent of personal obligation ; I. shall exercise all pow er*, which I shall have, under the constitution and laws, according to my best judgment, with an eyo single to the promotion of tire public interest, bo-dmg as I do, that those powers are granted for the so ! e purpoe of upholding and advancing the rights aud in tercets of tli a people. In the selection of agents for the public service, so far as I shall have the power of appointment I shall have regard to the capacity, integrity and industry of the persons appointed, as I consider the union of these three qualities essential to the just and effi -Dnt execution of public duties. I have examined carefully the pin-form of prin ciples la ; d down by the Convention, a copy of which you did m the honor to and I have no hesitation in saying that Uje principles adopted by th* Convention command the appro bation of my judgement, and will receive my cor dial support. To the triumphs of the principles of tbe democ racy in the past, we are, in ray opinion, indebted for whatever of greatness our country may have attained, aud to the success of those principles maintained in th>dr original purity iu future, we can alone look for the pioteaion of the constitu tion against the asssuha of fanaticism ami -error, and for thr- preservation of reserved rights of the States oo which alone depends the porpetuty of the Union, which has brought so much happi ness and prosperity to the p*-ople. The Uniou is the etf-cr of the constitution—we value it—we cherish the constitution ns iu* foundation, and be cause it provides the wisest, plan of government of confederated S'ates, aud secures if properly admin istered the blessings of civil, religious liberty to tbe people With hearts of jmtrio ism, we are dUvo led both to the constitution and to the Union. If only remains, gentlemen, for me to render to you and to the Democratic Convention my sincere acknowledgements lor the unsolicited honor con ferred on me —and say, that no efforts shall be wauling on my part so toconduct myself as to con tinue to dt-serrt the eontid- nee which Ims been by ray democrat c brethren so generously repotted iu me.

The secession of the Southern States from the Democratic party, t this time, wou'd throw Presi dent Buchgnan upon the support of the Old Line Wing and Democratic parlies of the North. For every Southern State he may lose, he mr gain a Nort-lien State. It has often been said that it would be Mr. Buchanan’s policy to restore the old Democratic party of the North. He is likely to do this, if he persists in Ids present positiou in relation to Kansas. What Unit position is, you will iind from the carefully worded article in the Union of yesterday. ‘Hie article is written in a conciliatory tone, and perhaps means a little more than it expresses.— Wash. Cor. of the A’etc York Times. There seems to he an evident desire on the part of the Times and its Black Republican allies to in volve Mr. Buchanan’s administration in disgrace. If the mere suspicion should become well estab lished, and we must confess it is daily gaining ground, that Mr. Robert J. Walker and his agents are the parties who are figured in the columns of the Daily Times in the absurd endeavor to get up a kind of middle party, a sort of an impossible mixture of “conservative democrats” and “old line whig*,’* why, then, good bye to Mr. Buchanan’s administration, if lie should for one moment coun tenance so absurd a movement. The truth is, the active political elements at the South are the true one, ami the dernarkation of parties is daily becoming more arid more plain ly defined. What we want North as well as South is to separate truth from error still more distinctly. I tut there are iu this city causes wd ieh are constantly poisoning the fountain of politic*! truth, not so much by open error as by insidious )>emiHsiou. A number of so called Democrats seetps to have taken the Daily Times for their or gan, and a more faithless eet of pohtieal ingrates were never got together. Everything like real Democracy this paper abuses with the vigor and lustiness of real hatred, but is there a streak of bogus Democracy anywhere, it “cottons” to it with the utmost tenacity. Is tlmre a Democrat who falls be’ow the strict stmdard of party ortho doxy—one who is shaky in his finances or doubt ful in his association*, that Democrat is patted on the Lack and called a noble fellow. It is useless, perhap**, any longler to conceal the itunora and suspicions at>oui town that .Robert J. , \ *dker is the power behind the throne of the Hne-a. and that Mr. Sanders, as hia sgent in New York, is its manager. In the absence of positive information on This subject; ahrost any one can satisfy himself of the probable truth of it by close ly observingdt* course. The friends of Mr. Walk er are const ho tlv puffed in it* column*, and liber ft! official advertisements showered upon it. If these Ming politicians thus expects to Wld up • “nation*! Pemoorntio party” on old party - circulated ne cannot siterthe Tom-*j plexipn s s.*f nllairs. Ths . force dT df®qmtarKs is nupeftiug-all to one of two sides—equality with degress or iits opposite. Those mind* are *o de moral as to have lost all powtffr of tHs> metiou J between right and wrong, may not see this, but it is a fact, nevertheless, aud all tbe Governor Walk ers that could stand between here and lyauaaa can not alter the inexorable progress of events. * [Cor. iif ite Missouri Democrat— Fr State.j From Kansas.

The meeting, after giviug. the vigilance cominitteediscreiionary power to act, adjourned. At daylight this morning, the vigilance com mittee haviug previously started out; At the first doggery, the keeper, who is a sturdy fellow, was armed with a pair of six shooters and a shot-gun, and showed light; butTe wasdisarro ei before he could shxt.

Cask* of “the era thur” were also f uud ru two other groggeries, and unceremoniously destroyed. In one instance, the parties had taken the precaution to bury a cask of whisky, but it whs dug out and served like the rest. No violence was offered to any in the doggeries; no ale, beer, or o:her malt liq ours were disturbed, and the whisky and brandy j mere only destroyed in places where thev were kept for sale. The keepers had all leeeived full warning before hand, that they could not be al lowed to carry on the traffic in Quindaro. The Clay Monument.

American. Insanity from Spiritualism. —The Chicago pa pers relate a singular case of insanity from spirit ualiam resulting in death. An old .lady fifty five years of age, became a spiritualist and a medium She attended several “circles,” and at last professed to have received an order not to eat nor drink, and commenced obeying the order. Her triends sent her to Chicago, where physicians and clergymen were called to visit her, but to no purpose. Me diums were also called to see her but could effect nothing. Two or three times some rice water was forced down her throat; but she wasted away till Sunday evening, the 26th ult., when she died. A day or two before she died, some meat was being stewed in the kitchen, the smell of which attracted her attention, and turning to her daughter-in-law, she said “That is very tempting, but I dare not touch it.” Her friends at the time, thinking she was giving, way in her resolution, again remonstrated with her, but again they failed to dissuade her from her course. What is more wonderful in this’ case is* that during all this time she appeared pefect ly sane and clear minded, talked quite naturally, and was frank and free in her conversation dn the subjecting/’ bjp “cqimiM|nd* from on high.” For three she abstained almost entirely from food, M the last nine days of her life she neither , U nor drank anything. She frequently talked | of going to her spirit home’ end of ber fntore life, i “Ob, blessed health T* exclaims Sterne, “ *tia thou who (|larget the. soul uml opeaeat all its powers ip receive instrucliou and to relish virtue. He that has thee has little else to wish for; he that is so wretched ato want thee, wants everything witjh thee.” The truth of this apostrophe every one must acknowledge ; poor Sterne spoke from sad expert eoca. And yet, familiar as every man is with the truth herein expressed, no mortal mu Id compute the members who ruin themselves in body, mind, and fortune by neglecting to employ the proper remedies when health fails. How is this neglect to he reme died ? The evil has become so consecrated by age, that the man who undertakes to amend it requires no ordinary hardihood, such a man is Professor Hol loway. ‘j-fo v p- ■: • ikl j AgXb* honest laborer in the cause of humanity finds no-sadder discouragement, than in the complacent indifference with which people prefer rather to en dure a long existing evil, than to incur the trouble necessary to get rid of it. The more aged an error has become, the more difficult it is to remove it.— This is true in an espocial manner of the art of heal ing, as it was known and practised before the advent |of this wonderful genus whose mission has been to I re-establish tbe treatment of human ailment inr a ra tional war. Ope by one the venerable abuses that have dis graced the past are disappearing, and among the test, the errors that have crept into medical practice have got their dismtsw’on papers, and are obliged to use a vulgar phrase, “to cot and run.” Where, it iray be asked, are the proofs? Proofs! Why, there is one gercat, patent, palpable fact, which has been storms tlie world in the face for the last twenty years, and woiking its way throngh popular preju dice into popular favor w ith a success which is tbe moßt unquestionable evidence of its power as a proof. The medicines es Professor Holloway have been si lently but powerfully effecting a change in the sci eoee of physic which the world itself lias begun to wonder at. It is well known that the causes of all the diseases and sufferings to which people nre sub jeet are very few, although their indications may be numerously varied. The old-pianos curing diseases was Uy affecting their results without affecting their primary cause*. Professor Holloway initiated anew mode of treatment by the discovery of his Pills and Ointment, which, whilst immediately grappling with tbe ultimate symptoms, reach also to tbe seat of the disease and eradicate the first causes, thus destroy ing atl subsequent liability to similar affections. We do not mean to praise these Pills and Ointment.— We confine ourselves to stating facts, and aro per fectly satisfied that no eulogy is needed.

Sir George Cay ley computes the common crow to fly at nearly 25 miles an hour. Spallanri found the rate of the swallow at about 02 miles an hour; while he con jectures the rapidity of the swift to be nearly three times greater. A falcon which belonged to Hen ry IV , of France, escaped from Fontainebleau, and in 24 hours afterwards was fonnd at Malta, a die tance of not less than 1,530 miles; a velocity equal to 5“ miles an hour, supposing the falcon to have been unceasingly on the wing. But, as such birds never fly by night, and allowing the day to he at the longest, his flight was, perhaps, equal to 75 miles an hour. If we even restrict the migra tory of birds to 50 miles an hour, how easily can they perform their most extensive migrations ! Fair winds may perhaps aid them at 30 or 40 miles an hour: nay, with three times greater rapid ity.—Dr. Fleming's Philosophy of Zoology.

They place in the coat pocket an old portinonnie stuffed with.paper; a customer comes along for an invest ment. The dealer, if he judges his customers to be of the right stripe, alter essaying several coats, at last says: ‘Here is a coat made for a gentlman—he wore it one day and sent it back—it was too small for him ; try it on. Ah! it fits first rate—like it was made for you. It is well made—buttons sewed on strong—pockets.” The customer puts his hands into his pockets to try them, when his fingers come in contact with the pocket book. His imagination is kindled with the idea of appropriating the supposed treasure. “How much did you say the coat was ?” he eagerly asks. The dealer names a good round price. “It suits me—l’ll take it,” is the quick re piy.

We are no lfttle pleased to learn that the r> ligious revival which the good rit'/ ns of Washington were enjoying sometime since, resulted in permanently convicting some of the rum-w-Hcrs of the error of their prohssiou ar.tj caused them to relinquish it.— Washington is a number one Ton n and if it hud no grog-shops would be oneof the first villages in the southern country. A friend writes as follows: Mr. Editor. -I wrote you word, sometime hack, how the good cause of temperance was progressing in our village, ami stated that I would let you know how it end and. I am now happv in giving you the very pleasing intelligence that three out of the four groceries or liquor-'* takers h >ve ceased trading m the cursed traffick, and tin- other one ha*l might as well quit for the people it* our tow n ami its vicinity have sworn eternal to rum and all those who ad vocate drinking of spiritous-liquors in any shape ex cept for medical purposes. One thing, Mr. Editor, you should urge upon your readers with more zeal.it is this —we- see every Drug Store in all our towns professing to sell pure liquors and only for medical purposes, when they are nothing more than dram-shops in disguise, vend ing the cursed poison with the pretext of doing much good as medicines. I hope you will urge this before your numerous readers. Vours, Ac., A FOE TO RUM. jaßf**Tbe Cineinnatti Commercial savs, a gentle man of the fancy was in attendance at Lexington, at the laying of the corner stone of the Clay Monument on the Fourth, and his baggage undergoing inves tigation was found to consist of a carpet sack con taining four bottles of whisky and two revolvers, one shirt and two collars. One of his travelling compan ions said that the shirt had been put in simply to keep the bottles from breaking. J3BTA H. H. Dawson, Esq., of Savannah, has been appointed to canvass the State, in behalf of the Ladies’ of Mount Vernon Association, and he will shortly address himself to the duty laid before him. The cause is a noble one and has a near and dear claim upon the heart and para* string of every pa* ilnot* . bled, have unanimously, and with beaowH overflow ing with brotherly love toward each other, laid aside their bickering spirits, heart-burnings, and all un pleasant feelings, and agreed to center their praydK, influence and support .upon their worty Cofllge pro tege located at this place. This settlement of sebum* and reconciliation among Christains, was an occasion of pleasant remembcrance, and served to unite tU the Baptists of the State in a closer of affection; and it will operate in promoting the interests of the entire denomination and all its religious and Litar ary Institutions. What now is the duty of the citi zens of Penfteld ? Hi the disparities and divisions which took place among the authorities and adminis trators of the College, there naturally grew up, through sympathy and self interest, divisions among the citizens of the Village. We have bad here two weli defined, well developed parties, contending in every possible manner against each other, which for a time produced wretched and shameful strife among ourselves. Neighbor cherished bitter enmity against neighbor; men in daily association looked upon each other as hostile, open enemies, and a thousand current reports were continually circulating through the streets. One dare not countenance another of the opposite party for fear of being arrainged by his own and charged with recreancy, or with having deserted his position. Such a state of things in a little Village where all should be upon terms of so cial intimacy, and where friendship would redound to the mutual benefit of all, is not only unpliwaftt, but it is xhamrfnl. . But it is a source of great grat ification to us to know and to say, that this state of feeling, does not exist to such an extent among ear citizens at this time, and we hope soon to see things in this particular entirely changed—when each citi zen will take his fellow citizen by the hand and grasp it in the warmth of true friendship. An asso ciation with men and women who entertain such feelings would be truly pleasant and agreeable.— And is it not our duty to cultivate among ourselves this social state of things? We are all personally interested in the prosperity of our Village. Our families are interested in the spirit which exists a mong the citizens, and the progress and permanen cy of the Town depends upon the unity of its inhab ! Hants; “a house divided against Usd fcannotstand.” And especially does the prosperity of the College depend upon the harmony which exists among those who reside in immediate proximity to it. We would like to see us all friendly, social and honorable,— But some may say, it is impossible for them ever ta entertain friendship toward some others in the place, because they hare treated them with injusdee. It is true some of us have reasons to complain bitterly at the manner in which we have been treated by some few of our fellow-eitizms, but we should wt* eroise forgiving spirits, ‘'They who forgive moat (diafr be moist Swjpveß,*’ Let it not be said of any one of our good townsmen., that “Hl* narrow *oui Know* not the godlike glory of forgiving. This warfare and domestic strife among ourselves has gone abroad, and is associated with the reput*. tion of our Town, and wherever Peufield is men tioned that unpleasant report is spoken of; and n ore than once have we met with men, wealthy and influential men, who positively refused to send their boys here, because of this rumor. Shall we say the rumor is false? We will not say that, but wc will say, there is a much better state of feeling here now ;han there has been for sometime pa.st, and we hope soon to be able to say that we have here, a social, quiet, retired, and harmonious town, whose eitizeiu all live upon the friendliest terms and in social intimacy with each other. The following is the resolution which was passed by the Baptist Convention with regard to the Uni versity. ket qs al} endorse the spirit of it, and do all ire can among ourselves for the benefit of the Institution, for as that prospers so will the Town, and rice Term. Whereas, Mercer University, the child of the Baptist denomination in Georgia, founded by the bounty, nourished by the prayers and labors of the fathers of the church—has within the past few years become the subject of unpleasant differences of opinion and feeling—and regarding the present as an auspicious mopienl for kindly feeling and new endeavors—therefore, Ii&olcetl, That as citizens of Georgia, and mem bers of the Baptist Churches in the State, we are proud of the results exhibited by the past history of Mercer University. That we lament the unfortu nate differences of opinion which have heretofore prevailed as to its location and management—that wo have undiminished confidence in its entire effici ciency as a theological and literary educator of young men; and forgetting all past diflferenoes, we wifi unite our prayers, our labors and our means so far as may be consistent with other obligations, in the endeavor to carry out to its fullest extent the benev olent wishes of its pioug and liberal founders. No Right Invaded. The clamor about “invasion of rights,” raised by the liquor interest against the friends of prohibition is thus calmly and conclusively met by Mr. Coombs, in his “Appeal to Voters.”— The argument is sound, logical, complete—and we venture to predict that it will reimin unanswered, for the very good reason that it is unanswerable. “The first argument of the liquor party is, that individual rights would be invaded .” If this were true, it is no argument against prohibition, provided the public good requires it. It Jr a well established principle of government, that individual rights must yield to the public good, but, public good must nev er be sarraficed to private rights. “The position is false-. No right would be invad ed. The rights of men under government have their origin in one or mere of three kinds of law, natural, common, or statute law. ‘“Natural law,” says Blackstone, “requires that we should live honestly, hurt nobody, and render to ev ery one his due.” Can any man sell liquor and not hurt his customers? Can he take their money and render them an equivolent ? lie cannot; and there fore has no natural right to sell. “ Common law,” says the same author, “deelarea that no man has a right to use his property to the injury of another, and that the consent of the party injured is no mitigation of offence.” No man rent his house for the sale of liquor without “using it to injure others.” No man can sell liquor aa a beverage, and not injure those who consent to take it. Common law, therefore, gives no man the right to sell. “Statute law, os it now stands, does give men a legal right to sell. The legislature has done what neither natural or common law would allow. The liquor seller’s right is only a legislative right He holds it at the will of the legislature. The power that gave, can take the right awvy. When this is done, the right ceases. Is it not the duty of the leg islature to take away privileges, which experience declares to be destructive to the beet imprests of so ciety f (rambling and lotteries were once right, ac cording to the law ; they have been prohibited, bo cause pernicious. The liquor traffic is a thousand tunes more destructive, and should be prohibited alt so. No right will be invaded by doing this,” can, it is said, be better preserved in corn meal than in any other preparation yet known.
