The Democracy OF Georgia still Divided.
The secession electoral ticket in Georgia re-.
ceved ajority Of the votes cast in that State at
the late Presidential election The number OF
votes thrown for the ticket falls several thousands
short of the vote given to Mcdonald when he was
beaten by Cobb eighteen thousand votes. 1t is
manifest therefore, that whilst the secession ticket
has succeeded, the secession party are in a large
minority in the State. Nevertheless, we learn
from the Macon Journal that the papers OF the Sc
cession party dcnounce the idea which has been
suggested, of Cabinet appointment being be
General Pierce If he elevates to Office Southern
Democrats who not identified with them, and
demand representation Of their party in his Cab
met. So the Union Democrats of Georgia-the
men who breasted the disunion storm and over
whelmed those in that State who sought TO destroy
rated if the President elect can be induced to lend
himself to the purposes Of their enemies. But
will General Pierce yield himself to the purposes
of the Secessionists? His friends claim that he ia
a Compromise man-that he will maintain that
settlement as fnality. On the other hand, the
Compromise as treason to the South, and its sup
porters and advocates as traitors. Can General
Pierce be true to the Compromise and accede to
the demands of the secession wing OF his party in
Georgia. We think not.
1t is evident that the schisms in the Democratic
party South are not closed. There can be no fra.
ternal operation between the Secessionists and
Unionists. Here have evidence of this fact in
Georgia, in the "war to the knife" q renewal OF
which is already commenced. In Mississippi, also,
in the contest for United States Senator the battle
OF last year 10 to be fought over again. The feuds
in the Democratic ranks there are far from being
settled. In the mean time, the Wings in both
States though beaten. have but to bide their time
patiently and the majority Of the people will be
with them.

CopPEa ORE.-A few days since We copied from
the Dalton Times notice Of large quantity OF
copper ore that passed through that place from the
Hiwassee Copper Mine. in Polk county. Tennes-
see, on its way to New York to be smelted. We
are pleased to hear that over twenty. five tons Of
ore from the mine arrived in this city yester
day, by the Georgia railroad, for the same desti.
nation. Heretofore this company have shipped all
their ore by way of Macon and Savannah. and
make this shipment an experiment. We hope
the result may be satisfactory, especially, as we
are informed that the indications In the vicinity
of this mine are very favorable to the development
Of extensive beds Of copper ore, as well a. other
valuable minerals. Hence the transportation of
ores or metals may, if the mines prove valuable,
become very large and important element in the
our knowledge of the general geological character
of that section of country, we have long enter
tanned the opinion that it was among the most
valuable mineral regions in the Union, and we are
much gratified to observe the operations Of the
Hiwassee Company in copper mining.

CURR FOR Rose BUas.-A subscriber wishes to
know If any one can suggest a method of pre-.
venting the yearly incursions of the rose-bug and
having heard considerable complaint among our
neighbors of having their cucumbers, grapes and
other fruit destroyed by these insects will sug-
gest remedy. Plant in the centre Of your gar
dena few damask rose bushes, and they will never
light on any thing else. We have large garden
with almost every kind of fruit, vines, shrubbery,
and flowers, with several kinds of roses, and in
the centre we have four punches OF damask rose
bushes, and I never saw in the whole garden a
rose-bug on any thing but the damask rose When
they are in blossom go into the garden once a
day with pan of hot water and shake the bugs
from these roses into the water, and get about a
pint at one time; this practice for few days, and
then they will disappear.-Boston Cultioator.
