ln SchuylkiIl county the Wings and Know
Nothings despair ofelecting ticket this fall,
and so they have swallowed up all the dis
appointed Democrats who failed TO get a
nomination atthe late convention and form
ed sort of mongrel or fusion iictet of as
many colo:s as were in Joseph's coat. The
Pottsville Gazette Gays:
We learn that the ticket nominated was
mostly composed OF men who failed 10 get
the nomination at the Democratic Conven-
tion, and hence the movement, appears like
one of selfish revenge. So far as we can
learn, they have advanced no new princi-
pie, and aimed al nothing except 10 con.
vince the public, tina, as the Democratic par.
ty wonld not nominate .Eenf, they will do
their utmost TO defeat the ticket. The re-
suit Of the canvass will show how blinded
they have been, and how inconsderable is
the utmost power of few men, when array
ed TO disorganize party, thoroughly COM
pretending the importance OF the contest,
and inspired with enthusiastic devotion to
their principles.
1t is but little effort to magnify the petty
sel6shness OF a few individuals, into great
public question, and to have the suffrages of
thousands governed by the whins of half
dozen greedy office seekers, who have be-
come vindictive because the party did not
honor them with nomination.
John Smiths nomination, or rejection, is
matter of great momen. 10 John Smith, bat
TO The public at large it is Of very small con.
sequence, aud when John attempts 10 make
ii the basis Of great political movement.
and 10 overthrow the Democratic party with
such lever, Mr.. Smith has undertaken too
large a contract, and the result will show the
division in The Democratic ranks 10 consist of
just this for the ticket, 5000 for Mr.. Smith,
vote supposed 10 have been cast by him
SELF
There never was time when disorgani-
zalion had as hopeless prospect as al pres
ent, for the party, with its eyes steadily fixed
on the prize of victory, is moving forward 10
solid mass, and with irresistible power and
any John Smith, who may get the sulks and
attempt 10 stop and turn back the tide, be-
cause The party won't put a feather in his cap,
will be josiled down and crushed beneath
the moving multitude.

GEORGIA Is entering upon u political State

Congress and the Legislature are to be elected,
and the American and Democratic parties are mar
shalling their respective forces for the contest
The most prominent men in the American party
are Messrs. Chas. Jenkins and W. c. Dawson.

Governor. The party has quite large infusion

Georgia has become famous of late Years for
the peouharitier of its politics. being less social
in tus respect than any State IN the Union OK

the Mobile Advertiser, the probabilities were
that the approaching canvass in that State would
be conducted on few and plain issues. But this
prospect is now changed, and appearances nd
cate political condition in the future as anomu-
lous and dscurdant as any in tho past.
The letter of Mr. stephens, denouncng the
Know Nothngs, while advocating a portion of
their principles and matchmaking the Admin
istration. was the first disturbing element in the
political horoscope, and was seized upon with
intense delight by the Democrats, who were will

against the hated Know Nothngs, but who now
find themselves nicely caugh: and obliged to
support the said Wing, Mr., Stephens, for Con

ministration and their party.

composed of several cord, of lightwood, IN the
centre of which was green willow stake serc-
ted in consequence of its IN lr,trucuhity by
fire.
On the top of the pile Of lightwood the criminal
was placed and securely O. med Ia the Stake
While in this situation he confessed his guilt sta
ting that he had no accomplish, that he was actu-
ated by lust alone, tibet he had attempted to yio-
late her person, but had failad.and to conceal the
attempt he had eraelly murdered her by beating
the poor innocent creature with stump, that
while h5 doing this she implored him 10 car
~ her home to her father and that she would con-
ceal the violence he had inflicted. He then left
her but soon returned. and after again heating
her he concealed the body in the very hole
where the stake was planted to which he suffer-
ed.
AFTER this confession was made. the match
applied, and in a few moments the deyouring
fl tmes were cnyelopng the doomed negro; his
fearful cries resounded through the air. while thu

agony and horrible contortiol- semi up an invol-

excruciating, were short; in few minutes the
flames had enveloped him entirely revealing now
