How THE GAME WoRKEp.-"To vote for
Fillmore is to vote for Fremont" said the
Democrats South. "To vote for Fillmore is
to vote for Buchanan" said the Republicans
North. "Ihere is no chance" said the De-
mocrats South. "Fillmore is an Abolition
ist and an enemy to the South" echoed the
Southern Democracy from the line of the
Potomac to the frontiers of Texas. "There
is no chance,' said the Republicans North
Fillmore is ongh.fuce, pro.sl avery man,
and can't be elected" Thus the upper and
neither milestone of the extremes did its work,
and crushed out Fillmore, North and South.
1t was game well played, and results IN
Buchnnan's election 10 tho Presidency by n
large minority of votes.

The SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONVENTION
The Atlanta lntellig' ncer and other South.
ern journals, are down on the City Council
Of Nashville for declining to send delegates
to the Southern Commercial Convention, to
convene at Savannah. Without stopping to
inquire for the motive or cause which prompt.
cd the refusal, we think there can DO nothing
IN It to elicit ccnsurr- or 10 call forth the ami.
n'ndver-ions of some half dozen sensitive
editorial gentlemen who seem to be laborinp
under the impression that it is treasonous to
the South to stand aloof from any measure
or movements which may happen to meet
their appreciation. These Southern CONNER.
cial Conventions have been assembling year
after year-meeting to adjourn and adjourn.
ing to meet agnin-without giving birth to
one practical idea, much less working ont
any practical good to the section to prom te
the interests of which they profess to come
together. In truth, the only thing practical
that has attended any of these meetings,
have been the fine suppers and uncorking of
innumerable bottles of champagne-which
as incidentais, man of our good taste would
not very seriously object TO. But they have
mot time and again, discussed distractions
learnedy and elaborntely, dealt largely in
finely. spun theories, and adopted resolutions
of most forbidding Dimensions; yet not one
forward step has been made TO secure tho
end in view-the relief Of the South from IT,
present position of dependency, that of a
tributary province to the North. Why then
should the Common Council 1r111lle =
eensured for declining u 10y l6rthsl
part in the farctl If the eouth, or the lead.
ing men who profess to be acting for il In
these Conventions, will strike out in the
right direction-wiH point ont something
practical, something that promises a result,
they will find themselves backed and sus.
tanned by the whole Southern people. I'm.
I'll they do that, however, their organs ought
not TO complain u some we'll measjpg persons
should decline to participate WITH them.

town, Massachusetts,, was indicted at late
term Of the Court of Common Pleas for dis.

seems from the published narrative of the

It was noticed by the denizens of that quiet

from Mr. Bucaanan--they DO not desire it,
Their object is disunion and the spoils Of n

FREMONT GATHERING IN MONTEREY.
"A correspondent of the Pacific Senti-
mel, over the signature of "Karambo," !"
gives the following feeling account of
Fremont gathering in Monterey:
can immense meeting, cram-ram jam
full of gentes and feas, came off in Abre-
go's old store, (the late calaboose) ON
Saturday evening last, the 5th instant.
The room was so hot and the feas so
jumping mad and hungry, that the sensi-
BILE part of the assembly had to keep on
the right side of the doors-particularly
as the speaker, Shepherd, seemed to
have nothing else for argument and the
instruction of his important hearers, than
the mystical words comprehended in
the text, 'and all that sort of thing, and
you know how it was, and so forth, and
so forth Wise Mr.. Shepherd, thou
hast strayed from the green pastures of
thy proper flock, and come down to
very droughty and unpromising country.
The Thomas O. Larkin came down also,
but the people were deaf to his argu-
ments-they were stale and badly put
together, without rhyme or reason"

WHAbEs.-The Pacific Sentinelsays:
"On Tusday afternoon, the 7th instant,

twelve to fifteen in number, paid visit
to the harbor of Monterey. The Portu-
guese whalers had their boats out chas-
ing them with great spirit, but though
the first were close in shore off the
mouth of the Salinas river, they were so
wild that the hunters could not get near
enough to strike them, and the game
ultimately struck line dead for the
southwark and escaped"

described by European or Chinese OBJ
servers, and that its periodical course is
three hundred years. 1t has been seen
in the years 104, 6s3, 1904, and the last
time in 1856, always shining with ex-
traordinary brilliancy. NJ. Boune, an
eminent astronomer, assisted by Mr..
Hind, has gone over all the calculations
pertaining to the comets re-appearance
making. new estimate of the separate
and combined actions of all the planets
