Last week we specially noticed the ex-
celent work Of the freemen OF Calais; spe-
chilly, because there special exertions were
IN de to put down the Republican cause -
We now notice the gains above last year,
effected on the vote for Governor, from which
it will be seen, on comparison with the re-
suits in the other counties, that Washington
county deserves the palm.

of young giant who certainly deserves to
be Pressed into notice. The writer says Of
him -
Il saw, last Sunday, nine year old boy,
of Lumpkin production, who weighed one
hundred and fifty, ,fOe pounds two months
ago HARv1S Lowry (for this is his name)
is the son of Mr.. JOHN Lowry, of this coun.
ty, and is a boy of fine intellig gence. I am
told he weighed forty pounds at two
months old.'
That Lumpkin is great place for rapid
developments. A year or two since we
were informed by one of its denizens that
sweet potatoes grew SO fast there it required
the constant attention of two hands to keep
the vines out of the yard

associate editor, and the salutatory of Mr..
CAv1s, who is Ecnccforth to occupy that
position. The Spartan has been conducted
with more than ordinary ability since TRIM

we doubt not will fully maintain its charac-
ter under the management of TRIMMER &

We hope he may soon be restored to good

Lister hem Europe.

The Pacific arrived at New York on
Tuesday, with later intelligence from Eu-
rope. Beyond the advance in cotton, how
ever, the news is1of no special Importance.
Unless the eobtrary were distinctly stated,
we should, ,ef course, take it for granted
that affairs in the Crmea had made no pro-
gression whatever; but the telegraph per-
sists in announcing that "the siege of Sevas-
topot is unchanged" and, accordingly, we
publish that "the siege of Sevastopol was
unchanged" to the 18th inst. The Allies
had embarked fifteen thousand troops at
$Kamesch, who put to sea in the direction
softhe Sea of Azov, but returned without
landing. 1t is stated that large reinforce
ments were expected to arrive on the 22d.
Political matters are very much as might
have been expected. The Western Pow
ers have not succeeded in persuading Austria
into any satisfactory arrangement, and it is
said that troublesome Power is every day
, Becoming more and more intimate with
Prussia.
From Russia we are 'informed that the
German States had been notified that the
Gear would only add hereto the two first
guarantees on the condition of the perfect
neutrality of Germany.
France and England had presented an
ultimatum to Sweden, but this Power seem
ed disposed to reject it.
r The Universal Exhibition at Paris had
been opened, according to postponement,
butit is added that the ceremonies were
rather dull.,r
81, Panori, who was condemned to death for
his recent attempt to assassinate Louis Ma
poleon, had been executed.
General Canrobert had resigned the COM
mand Of the French army, on the plea
of i'll health. General Pelisscr is his sue
cessor.
Cotton had advanced from 1-s to SIG
of penny in the Liverpool market, which
closed the week with an active demand, and
sales of 1900; of which spectators took
$4,000 and exporters 5000 bales, leaving
$4,000 bales of all descriptions to the trade.
Fair Orleans was quoted at 61.4d, Middling
Orleans 57sd, Fair Uplands Gl-4d, and
Middling Uplands at 53-4d, per lb.
The Liverpool .Breadstuffs market was
generally unchanged. The prospect with
regard 20 growing crops is spoken of as
favorable, but the market closed dull. Pro-
visions had slightly advanced.

Political Sporting.

The New Orleans Courier does I'D the
Virginia election in the sportsman style
The following is the conclusion Of its re-
port of the great Virginia race, as follows:
The Virginians entered their favorite old
horse, Democrat, who, though occasionally
beaten out of the State, had never lost a
heat on his native soil, and, though looking
thin with hard work, came to the poll in a
--,c,fm -end easy way, while Sam Know No.
thing evinced all the dancing prancing, and
impatience that characterizes tile scrub. AT
the start the colt rushed ahead, and his
friends shouted and made the welkin ring
and betted and Dragged SO high that the
friends of poor old Democrat were afraid
to risk their money but Sans friends were
doomed to bitter disappointment. Long
before the race was over, it was evident that
this promising colt was ruined forever. 1t
was with great difficulty that he was taken
, off the track and led to his stall, where at
the last accounts he was dying, and he is
now most probably dead.
= Old Democrat, on the contrary, came out
of this race looking as fine as silk, and
prlcking up his ears, and looking Wise, as
much as to say, "This old horse never did,
or will loose race in Old Virginia"
1t is not known what the enemies of old
Democrat will do at the ensuing race, hav:
ing disposed of their entire stock for the
purpose of purchasing this very promising
young Sam Kmoao Nothing colt.
There is said to be, north of Mason and
Dixon's line, very strong and flourishing
animal called Anti-Nebrasku Bill, a half
brother Of Sans, who has host of friends
at the North, and if few can be found at the
South, he may be possibly entered to pre-
vent Old Democrat from walking oyer the
course. -

and Religious Liberty - 1st.
