lot. a short time ago | would OF have Le-
lieved this, out am satisfied from recent in.
dieaiiOns, rs well - facts that have come 10
my knowledge, that such is really tie case
Alr: Buelrnan's chances are second, and those
of Mr.. Douglas third, as the Convention viii
organize. If neither is Successful AZ the ont.
set they will probably all be dropped. and
the choice rest on either Mr.. Hunter, of Viz.
glnia:or Mr.. Rusk, OF Texas.
Should either of the Northern men be nom.
mated, Mr.. Howell Cobb, OF GEORGIA. will b.
the candidate Tor Vice President: bu, should
Southern man succeed, then Mr. Diekeu-
son,of New York, or Senator Biglcr, of Penn
sylvania, will doubtless lie selected. These
are the opinions OF the most sagariOus men
of thai party, who profess to be most thor.
ongly acquainted with all the chances and
schemes on foot. Mr. Rusk has NAV friends
who are laboring zealuu>ly in his behalf
His abilities are fair and he is quite as worthy
of Tie position as The one who now occupies
1t, but think the South would more cordi.
ally rally on Mr. Hunter, who is bv far Mr.
Rusk's superior in every respect Mark my
prophecies.

WORDS FIFTY SPOKEN

A distinguished and efficient advocate of
The -American" cause in Georgia, who once
belonged to the Democratic party, writes to
The editor Of the Macon Journal as follows:
~Fo support the nominees Of the Cinein-
natl Convention, whOmsOever he may be,
wouit divide and annihilate us as party
II would do worse. IL would be an aban-
donment Of our friends at the North, and
drive them to the ranks of the Black Repub'
leans. Aud worse still, it would inialiibly
result in The formation of two great section
al parties, whose collisions would overthrow
the Government. We can occupy middle
and safe ground between the extremists,
North and South, and ! misinterpret the
signs OF the times, if the masses of the peo-
pie do not rally to, and enable us to maintain
IL. ] hope there will be no faltering or hes
ltatiou. Pride and patriotism alike demand
that we should, without delay, prepare for
the ensuing conflict" t-
The editor of the Journal adds:
@Other letters Of similar import and spirit,
from old line Wings and Democrats, come
frequently 10 hand. No one can mistake the
signs OF the lines IN this crisis, the eyes
Of the people are turned confdingly 10 Mil
lard Fillmore, as the man for the emergency"
Ia the same number of the Journal from
which the foregoing is taken, we find the
following sensible remarks:
"Where do Fillmore and Donelson stand!
What is their platform of principle? They
stand where they did in 1850, upon the great
adjustment measures of that year, which
the Georgia State Convention and the two
National Presidential Conventions, solemnly
declared was FINAL settlement, in yrinci-
pie and substance, of sectional differences, "of
the subjects they embraced" TO this plat
form Mr.. Fillmore is committed by his public
professions and official acts. TO this plat
form is Major Doneson solemnly pledged
over and over again in the Washington Un-
ion, of which he was the ''statesnan-Iike"
editor, 10 the crises Of lS50-5l.
But are they in favor Of the Kansas Ne
braska measure! We don't know, nor do
we care. That those who were in favor of
the Compromise of 1850 endorsed the doe
trine of non-nterveniion on and non interior
ence by Congress with new States, and adopt.
ing their forms of government and regua-
ting their domestic institutions, we think is
evident. This doctrine was fully incorpora-
ted in the Utah Territorial Bill, which declar
ed that the people of that Territory, in or
ganizing Estate government preparatory to
admission into the Union and not before, shall
be permitted to decide upon the question OF
slavery or no slavery. This doctrine is what
is termed popular soyercignity,Sand is the
sonly principle in the Kansas bill Of vital i'm
,l., n
this doctrine has the official sanction of Mr.
FILLMORE, in his signature 10 the Compro-
mise of 1850 We ask no better record than
this. Let our opponents present better can
didates and Il better platform, if they can.

Mr.. s. p. Irins: 81 have just time to write

little excitement in our place this afternoon,

Mr. Fleming struck Billy Patterson first.

tN- A letter from Washington says that
fears are entertained that Mr.. Fillmore will
not accept the nomination. We suspect this
is trick of the opposition, who would re-.
joice exceedingly to have the apprehension
realized. II is not to be supposed that the
Convention which nominated Mr.. Fillmore
would be guilty of the supreme folly of
doing so without knowing something Of his
views on the subject Our friends will not
suffer themselves to be imposed on by the
"fcar" that Mr.. Fillmore will not accept.

BANK RoBBERY.-On Sunday night last
about 3 o'clock, says the Shel6yville Constr
nationalist, the Branch Bank OF Tennessee at
this place was entered by means of false
keys, and an amount, ranging between 900
and 1000 dollars, abstracted from the vaults
thereof. This sum abstracted was the prop.
erty of the "Shelbyvilc Bank of Tennessee
deposited with the Branch Bank for safe
keeping. No clue as yet has been obtained
to a discovery of tue perpetrators of this foul
deed.

IlOT AIR LocoMoTIvg.-A hot air locomo-
tive called the vampire made an exper-
mental trip on Friday, on a New Jersey rail-
road, but run of the track while going at a
rate judged to have been about eighty miles
an hour. Fortunately no harm was done to
the machine or its operators. This machine
is impeIled by both heated air and steam, and
has cost up TO the present time about $780,
600. 1t has no tender, and carries its engi-
neer on lis side, near the forward end. Its
weight, in running order is Il tons; and fuel
enough for trip of three hundred miles
weighs only about three tons more, and is
carried in its capacious furnace as single
charge.

"Whilc our plenipotentiares are celebrating
on peace ut Paris, new war is preached
here--a war against foreign manufactures
aud fashions. The ladies' of Tanbow have Or
iginated this revolution. They have exchang-
ed their foreign clothes for Russian dress,
and have'deciared their resolution to wear
nothing but Russian made fibrics. Tho

ton to the skies, aud strongly recommends
the Indies of Russia to follow the example
OF their sisters Of Tanbow."

GEN. RUsK.--lt is believed by many
shrewd sag nicht politicians, that, if their Ma
tional Convention does not break up in a
row, as it came near doing in 1852, Pierce,
Douglas and Buchanan will ultimately all be
thrown overheard, and Gen. Thomas J. Rusk
Of Texas, finally nominated. A Washington
etter.writer, specializing upon the Cincinnati
Convention, says:
flhe real rally will ultimately be upon
Gen. Thomas j. Rusk, of Texas. That will
be the point of concentrations, unless the
leaders and wire-pullers are all mised. The
cards are already stocked"
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer says,
awe have heard il asserted, that, if Gen.
Rusk receive the nomination, Senator Jas. c.
Jones, of this State, will in all probability go
for him. Gen. Rusk, though Say Nicht Lo-
cofoco of the deepest dye,.seems to be IA

The MURDER OF YoUSG RowLAED.-Our
readers will rccollect that some weeks ago
we published short account Of the murder
of young man by the name Of Rowland,
who kept store at Double Springs in this
county; and that negro boy, the property OF
o. p. Hall, was arrested on suspicion, tried
~ by the magistrates, and discharged, there not
being any evidence addGced at the time to
identify him with the outrage, or justify his
4, commitment The boy was subsequently,
taken by lis owner TO Columbus, Ga, and
sold to trader, who sold him TO a gentle
man in Alabama After the boy had been
taken off enough transpred to induce the
public to believe that he was connected with
the murder, and last week tile County Court
appropriated the means to purchase him, if
he could not be obtained otherwise, and ce-
spatched Col. Jos. McCuley and Col. w. s.
Galloway to apprebend and bring him back.
They left here last Friday evening, found the
boy some forty miles below Auburn, Macon
county, Ala, and returned with him on Tues
day night. On Wednesday true bill was
found, and the prisoner was placed on trial.
We understand that he voluntarily confessed
+ to participating in the murder, but says a
white man was connected with him. The
trial has not terminated, and we forbear any
remark further than to express the hope that
every proper means will be used to obtain
such evidence as will bring the negfo's ae-
compliee, If he had Que, 10 punishment.

TON RAILROAD.
The Constitution Of the State provides for
q well regulated system Of Internal Improve

regulated that system, which consists chiefly
Of Railroad charters in which the aid Of the
State has been granted. Among these Road
charters is to be found the Tennessee, West
ern and Charleston Railroad Company, COW
ering the ground from Chattanooga to the
North Carolina line. with provisions to. con-
meet with other roads. 1t rs part of the
great system, intended to carry out the orig
inal design, had in view in the charter of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad, which is
to connect Memphis on the Mississippi, Nash
Vile on the Cumberland, and Chattanooga
on the Tennessee, directly with the Southern
seaboard at Charleston. through the Rabun
Gap.
BY connecting with other roads this road
is reduced to thirty miles in length, FROM
