Political Injustice.

The Federal Union charges Mr.. JENKINS,
the Republican candidate for the office of Gov
ernor of Georgia, with sectionaism, and asks:
'Who the leaders of the sectional party;
Who brought it into being' Robert Toombs, the
hot-headed nullifer of 1888. Who is made its
standard-bearer in the campaign Charles J. Jen-
kins, man who thought it not treason in 1888 to
calculate the value of this Union.'
The Mobile Register, on the other hand
ridicules the Wing candidate for Congress in
the Mobile district because of his devotion to
the Union. 1t says:
ssMr Lockwood seemed greatly to please his
party friends by the high Union and Federal posi-
tons which he took in this speech"
Mr. JOHNSON, the competitor Of Mr.. JES.

secure the election of Mr.. Cum, an Union
Democrat, are now condemned as sectional
lists. Mr.. JErxIrs is arraigaed upon an impa-
tation Of notification in 1888, when Mr.. CAL
HoUN, the father and founder of the doctrine,

Democratic party. Ii is difficult TO satisfy
censors whose grounds of objection are so OPP

MoRE CoTroN AND More LANp.--General John
Wilson, who now resides in San Francisco has
written to Governor Footc, of Mississippi about IL
group of islands in the Pacific known as the Navi-
GATORS Islands With the letter General Wilson
sends to Governor Foote some pickings of cotton,
taken from one of the cotton trees which grow on
those islands. This tree attains the extraordinary
height of thirty feet, with diameter of one foot,
and branches spreading thirty feet. The boil is
about the size of a goose egg. When the cotton
tree is in full bloom it presents superb appear
ance, looking like an immense SNOWFALL tree, of
the kind that adorns so many of our gardens
The islands arc on the route from California to
Australia, about midway between this last and the
Sandwich Islands, lying in about fourteen degrees
south. They ten in number, have an agree
able climate, and are inhabited by about one hun
dred thousand savagcs divided into tribes, who are
often fighting each other General Wilson throws
out hint for speculation there. He says
'lf one or two hundred discreet, just men were
there, and would Join in some of their wars with
the better sort or class, government might easily
be established there, after tho fashion of the Sand
witch Islands" - gF
