The AUGUSTA BR1DGs.--The Rome, (Geo)
Southerner speaking of the proposal of the
South Carolina Rail Road Company to ex-
tend the road across the Savannah River,
and to establish Depot in Augusta, thinks
that it would conduce to the interest of mid
die and Cherokee Georgia to have the Depot
established, and hopes that, inasmuch as the
charges on freight over the Augusta Bridge
now exceed twenty-five per cent, the people
Of upper Georgia will free themselves from,
what it characteristics as, an Outrageous i'm

CONDITION OF FREE NEeRoEs.-The free
negro question is the most insoluble of all
the social problems of the day, and stands as
4 practical sarcasm on all the theories Of
abolition emancipation, immediate or remote,
with or without eXpatriation. The follow
ing shows what the condition of ! free negro
is in the young and fertile State of Ohio:
"FREE NEGROES IN OH1o.-A. writer in
the Baltimore Patriot, who is travelling in
Ohio, gives the following account OF the
Randolph negroes, who. it will be remember
ed, were driven from the homes which had
been procured for them, by the whites:
"Troy, about twenty miles from Dayton,
is small and rather dilapidated town, be-
tween this place and pequa. Along the
canal the majority of the Randolph negroes
are located. 1t was in the adjoining county
of Mercer that the large tract of land was
purchased for their settlement, from which
they were forcbly elected by white inhabi.
tants. The condition of fthese poor creatures
is Il sad commentary on the miserable policy
of emancipating negroes, and allowing them
to remain in this country. The majority of
these once invaluable servants are now worth
less pests upon the community among whom
they are located, and often want for the COM
mon necessaries of life | heard several
of them express an ardent wish to return to
the shores of Roanoke again, where they
once had plenty, and did not know what it
was to suffer for want"

ALABAMA ELEcTIoN.-ln the First Con-
gressional district, the majority of Bragg, the
Southern Rights candidate, is about 1000.
In the Second district, Abercrombie's (Sub-
missionisD majority is l,l2l.
In the Third district, Harris (Southern
Rights is elected by SAB majority.
In the Fourth district, Erwin (Southern
Rights is elected by 430 majority.
We have nothing reliable from the other
three districts.
MONTGOMERY, (Ala.) August llth.-Thc
Tuscaloosa Monitor (whig) admits the elec-
tion of Erwin. His reported majority is 40.
The result in Hubbard's district is doubtful.
The contest is close, but the chances are in
favor Of Hubbard.
We cannot classify the Legislature, but the
Union men claim q majority. AS i'll many OF
the counties the question was not made, there
is no data to make up an opinion. We think
the Union men have it.
NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN-We learn by
q gentleman from North Carolina that the re-
turns in Stanly's district, so faras heard from,
show gain of "a for the Democratic candi-
date over the last election, when Staniy was
elected by Al votes, and afford hope that
he is defeated.

In the 5th district, James w. Stone,
(Democrat) is probable elected. which isa
democratic gain. In the 9th district lsham
G. Harris, Democrat is reelected.

evidence of fear. Looking his antagonist
resolutely in the face, he exclaimed
"General, you now have every ad-

my left hand, and, if you were not cow

on his hands and knees until he saw the

an Indian STOPPING over the flame. The
click Of his rifle startled the savage, who
with eager gaze looked around at the mo.

and he fell PROSTATE on the fire. The two

threw them off by sudden effort, and turn

ran up the creek and met his fate from the
