W The New Orleans Picayune, of the
22d inst, in referring to Col. Fremont's ca.
pacity for the Office of President of The Uni.
ted States, says, "his whole civil history is q
blank, and we may add, from very good
knowledge of Fremont individually, that
there is nothing in him to qualify him for the
Presidency, more than majority of the
officers of the army, ofthe same age or grade
and nothing to distinguish him in society
requirements or capacity, above the average
of respectable gentlemen whom one NAV
meet any afternoon along Canal street.
"And yet it is likely 70 be formidable
nomination, and command powerful vote.-
There is this great political udvantage-that
It enables vast and various multitude
to cast their votes together, upon the single
idea that inaames the passions Of all, without
discord upon any collateral or subordinate
questions, and It is further formidable, in
that, It demonstrates the strength of the ia.
naticsm which can thus devote itself to
single idea. We shall not speculate, now,
on the chances Of success for such ticket,
or the consequences Of its success, to the
southern portion Of the Union and the Union
itself.

LETTER FROM HORACE MAYNARD.
KNOXVILLE, June is. 1876

DR.. John H. Calender: Dear Sir In re.
ply to yours, Of the l4th inst, informing me
Of my appointment as candidate for the
State at large, upon the electoral ticket of
the. American party, in place Of the Hon. T..
A. r. Nelson, beg to say, that il is matter
of regret that the occasion has occurred for
making the appointment. The distinguished
gentleman whose place am invited to as
sumo, is n soldier so much abler and better, of
80 much larger experience, and so much
more widely and favoraby known to the
the State, that the contrast cannot fail to be
painfully obvious, if not injurious, to the no.
bic cause committed to me to espouse.
Nothing but the obligations OF duty could
constrain me to put on the arnlor so greatly
beyond my strength; for, first amongcvl du.
ties, hold that no man, when called by his
fellow-citizens into the Service of the public
whether at the post of honor, or in the
path of TOLLS at liberty to refuse; and es.
pecallyiat time like the present, when the
troubled and agitated condition of the coun.
try requires of every patriot his best efforts
to place at the head of the Government, a
statesman Of eminent ability and tried virtue.
The administration of Mr.. Fillmore, trus.
ted at home, and respected abroad, affords
the amplest guaranty that, under his wise
guidance, quiet and order will speedily be
restored, and the nation protected salke from
sectional agitations and foreign aggressions.
Entertaining, as / do, these convictions, |
accept the trust now conhded to me, and will
use my humble endeavors to effect his election,
and thus to secure, what verify believe, to
be one of the greatest blessings that at this
juncture, could be conferred upon the Ameri-
can people.
| am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
HORACE MAYNARD.

GEN. WALKER's CoSDIrIoS.-The New
Orleans Delta contains letter, dated San
Juan, 4th June, which represents Walkers
"army" as in n most ptiful condition. The
following is m extract:
"Sickness prevails to frigh.ful extent in
the worst forms Of yellow fever and cholera;
numbers. as many as can, are making their
way down to this place, broken down in
health, moneyless, and in most wretched
condition, desirous of getting forwarded to
the United States. The applications for
relief and assistance made by Walkers men
to the American Consul at this place, are
many.
at is only week or so ago that, owing to
the humanity of Mr.. CotterelI, the United
States Consul; Mr.. Green, the British Consul;
Capt Tarleton, of the British frgate Eur.
dice, some few strangers and such citizens Of
Greytown rs were able, that subscription
was raised of upwards of $1,000, and applied
for the purpose of sending some forty, many
of whom were sick and destitute, back to the
United States"

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1855.

NEw ORLEANS, June 25.--The steamship
Granada, Capt s. p. Griffin, has arrived from
Aspinwall and San Juan, and brings the latest
dates from Ssn Francisco.
Cora, who murdered Col. Richardson, and
Casey, who shot Mr.. King, were taken out
by the Vigilance Committee and hung.
Yankee Sullivan had arrived at San Fran.
cisco, and after confessing his outrages and
election frauds, committed suicide.
The Governor had proclaimed San Francis.
CO in state Of insubordination. His procla.
nation was unheeded, and It is feared that n
collision will occur between the Federal
troops and the Vigilants.
The Granada brings the news that the
forces of Costa Rica and Guatamela have
united against the Rivas. Walker government
Of Nicaragua.
An arrival from Vera Cruz says Mexico is
preparing for war with Spain. The Capitol
Of Mexico is threatened with inundation.

FEY California is rnpidly Increasing In
population and resources. According to Sen.
ator Weller, the total value Of exports from
that State during last year was over $4,000,
600. Among these was the item of -four to
the extent of $4,000. The change in this
particular is indeed remarkable. California, il
would thus appear, is not only able to raso
breadstuffs sufficient for her own coDsump.
ton, but handsome surplus. This too, in
her infancy. What she will be able to do
when she becomes older and stronger, the
reader may imagine.

CLAY AND BUcHAsAN.-In the Private
correspondence Of Henry Clay by Cotton, on
page GIT, will be found letter from that
distinguished patriot to Hon. Daniel UlIman
of New York, under date of June IA, 1851.
The letter is quite long, and in referring to
the Presidential canvass for 1852, uses this
language:
"No candidate, I hope and believe, can be
elected who is not in favor of the Union,
and the Compromise of the last Congress
Gncluding the Fugitive Slave bll,) as neces.
sary means to sustain it. OF the candi-
dates spoken of on the Democratic side,
confess that should prefer Gen. Cass. He
is, think, more to be retcd on than any of
his competitors. During the trials of the
long session of the last Congress he bore
himself firmly, consistently and patriotically.
He has quite as much ability, quite as much
frmness, and, think, MUCH MORE HONESTY
AND SINCERITY THAN MIR. BUCHANAN"

E- The Herald, of the Goth, publishes
Mr.. Buchanan's letter of acceptance, and says
It is very smooth, very gracious and very
consoling. The celebrated Tittlebat Tit.
mouse, when put up for Parliament, promised
everything TO everybody MS his platform; but
the task of Mr.. Buchanan has been more diff.
fcult. He accepts the Cincinnati platform,
and cant undertake TO promise anything
more or less-but yet he does promise us the
millennium. The old wings will be delighted
to read it, for il will be news to them that
they are all going for the Cincinnati nominee.
Let every body read this corso!ing letter.

ISDUsTRY AND ITS BLESSINGS may
tell you of your being unfit for some peculiar
occupations in life, but heed them not
Whatever employment you follow with per-
severance and assiduty will be found fit for
you; il will be your support in youth and
comfort in age. In learning the useful part
Of any profession very moderate abilities will
suffice; great abilities are generally injurious
to the possessors. Life has been compared
to race, but the allusion still improves by
observing that the most swift are ever tho
most apt to stray from the course.

w- Late ndvices from near Erie, Pennsyl.

tW- Late advces from near Erie, Pennsyl.
vnnia, state that the corn fields in that vicinity
have suffered greatly from the depreda!ions
of immense nocks of wild pigeons, which,
Notwithstanding their wholesale slaughter, by
men and boys, cannot be driven efi. In west
ern New York and northern Ohio an exten.
sve failure in the termination of the corn has
taken place, and many farmers have been
compelled TO plant second, and even third
time, either from want Of vitality of the
seed or the cold backward weather. Ground
squirrels are also doing considerable mischief
In some localities.

Mr.. CLAYToN's KANSAS BILL.-Mr. Clay.
ton has introduced bill in the United States
Senate on the Kansas troubles. He propos.
to go back beyond the beginning of the troub.
les: to set aside what is called the "border
ruffian" election, and of consequence all the
legislation that solowedit it, and to inaugurate.
the Territory anew, &c.
This proposed policy, it will be seen, vir-
tually treats both parties rs il they were in
the wrong. That this is the correct view Of
the matter no candid and intelligent citizen
doubts. The pro-slavery party was wrong
in introducing fraudulent voters to the polls,
in passing subsequently the present op-
pressive and unconstitutional laws of the
Territory, ard in the whole "border rufiian"
policy which they have silently winked ut, If
not positively encouraged. The Free soil
party was wrong in attempting tc resist their
antag onists by force Of arms when the lntier
had the formalities of law on their side, for
redress was not impossible by more peacea-
Bile methods, and to thus oppose the consti-
ted authorities was striking ut the root of Re-
publicanism. Church Ado.

EAST TENN. AND Va. RAILRoAp.--The
Lynchburg Virginian publishes the following
extract from a private letter written from
Knoxville:
awe expect to run our passenger train to
Morristown next Monday, 10th June, and in
one month more we hope to be able to open
the road TO Russellville; and then wait on
the Virginia road, and commence at Bristol"
The Virgnian adds: We would say to our
Tennessee friends, do not wait an instant;
come on. by the .time you can cart your
tools to Bristol, our road will be there, or so
near that you will not have more than time
to unpack before you may commence work:
VIZ are going il with rush, be assured. The
lst of October, or sooner is the longest time
we allow ourselves.

tB- The nomination of Buchanan fell
codly upon most of the South Carolina dem
ocratic journals. The YoIkvile Enquirer
acquieses in the nomination, but expresses
disappointment snd regret, and says that Of
all the prominent aspirants, Buchanan was
the least acceptable. There is significance
about the following sentence quoted from an
article in the Enquirer-"The contest will be
determined between Black Republicanism on
the one hand, and on the other, the Demo.
cratic party with Buchanan ns its standerd-
bearer. In such an emergency the South
can have no choice"
