Sf7ln the Savannah Republican Of yes
tcrday, we find letter from the Hon.
Charles j. Jenkins, Of Augusta, Geor-
gia, to one ofthe editors of that journal,
an which he states his preference for
inactivity to the reluctant support of
either one of the Great Availables."
The .Repu6lican states that intelligence
from the interior leads it to believe
that Gen. Scott will hardly have an
electoral ticket in Georgia, and that
without the power and aid of Mr.. Jcn-
sisins, no Wing candidate need expect
the vote Of that State. The Union
Democrats will certainly put forth an
electoral ticket Of their own, to keep
sup the organization of the Union party,
md it will be, says the Republican,
for the Union Wings to determine
whether they will support such a ticket,
! composed of an equal number of
Wings and Democrats, or whether they
will take any part in the election.
The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
SalsoS publishes lettcr in the Augusta
sSG'hronicle and Sentinel, of yesterday,
dated Washington, y. c., the 2Sth ult.,
sinsWhich he states that he is opposed to
Georgia taking up either of the present
nominees, but in favor of putting up
and running an independent ticket.

CENTURY PLANTs.-A correspond

ring to the Century Plant, furnishes
the following facts in reference to two
in Charleston, now supposed to be
near their blooming time:
Its noticed in the Cincinnati pa

bloom in that city. Perhaps the curl
IS 4oI'Els, eI'Els and the botanical may not be
aware that there are two in this CITY
that are near the time of blooming
One of these is at the residence of Mr..
Joseph Widen, Magazine street, the
other at the residence at the head of
Pitt street, owned, by Mr.. Legare.-
We know nothing OF the history of tho
latter plant. But the age of the form
err can be nearly asccrtained. The
= house has been erected so years and ii
lady. now living has clear rcmcm-
brance of the plant for more than cigh-
Ety years. So that it may be pretty
fairly deduced, that this ancient towc-
Try plant is about seventy-fvc years
3old, certainly more than sixty. The
stem OF the flower has shot up very
rapidly within the last two or three
months, and is now about fourteen feet
high. The plant is near the front of
the yard, is easily seen, and is well
worth a visit. The plant. at Mr.. Lc
gare as about the same height and
size, and we should be pleased to
learn something of its age. This is
also seen from the sidewalk very plain
5ly' They will both probably be in
flower:in a few days.
