THE LAUNCH.-Several hundred enthusiastic spec
tators focked to Mr.. Duggans boatyard yesterday
evening to witness the launch of the new stateboat
Atchafalaya. The underpinning was knocked loose
about a. O'Clock, when the substantially constructed
craft glded smoothly into the water in the midst of
the huzzas and waving of handkerchiefs from men,
women and children on the bank. more success
fnl launch was never anywhere North or South.
Young America u crowded her decks to take the
first ride on this splendid specimen of home architec-
ture, many of whom, when the boat was in full
speed threw away their hats and almost their lungs,
while under the excitement of the moment.
The Atchafalaya is l23 long, "a feet in breadth
and feet hold built of strong. durable, native
white oak, and is a credit to her builder Mr.. Duggan
and the enterprising State Engineer who designed
her, She will be, decidedly the best boat in the SER
vice of the State.
After the launch was over, collation. was partaken
Of by the crowd, which was provided by Mr. Duggan
his Excellency, Gov. Wicklhe. and some of the spec
tatos doing the honors for the worthy and respected
mechanic, whose skill and workmanship was the gen
eral theme of conversation.
The Gov Hebert is now at the ways to be repaired
by Mr. Duggan. after completing which the David A

in the immediate vicinity of Baton Rouge, and tint

nard has the premium for Southern railroad cars ant
Capt. Duggan is even with him in the steamboat de

may yet become the seat OF manufacturing industry

THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER II, 1857.
A Georgia Democrat.

We clip the subjoined paragraph from the Colum-
bus (Ga) Times and sentine-a strong Democratic
paper-of the 18th inst:
Hon. JAMES JACKSON ON WALKER.-At speech
recently delivered at Dahlonega, Mr.. Jackson, the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sixth Dis
trct is reported to have said that he declined to
condemn Mr.. Buchanan until he could be heard from
through his annual message to Congress. He would
then be willing, he said, to condemn the President u
he did not repudiate the conduct of Walker and if
Mr. Secretary Cobb did not repudiate it, he coutd
condemn him also.'
Very brave language, Mr.. Jackson 1t sounds well,
Mr.. Jackson. We doubt not Mr.. Jackson believes
what he says, and honestly intends to fulfil his
promises eff" something don't happen But we
respectfully submit, such talk as this is wholly devoid
Of practical value far the South s concerned,
Kansas is concerned the proslavery party in that
Territory is concerned.
We care not what the President may write in his
"annual message to Congress- A veteran politician
like Mr.. Buchanan always writes well and plausbly.
No one understands the art of making the language
obscure the thought of making the better appear
the worse reason Or the the better reason than
the present chief magistrate of this confederaey.
His reasoning will doubt be pronounced satisfactory
by his partisans and oficehoders and they, unques
tonaby, will endeavor to make it satisfactory to the
people. but the great fact-pregnant with ominous
results to the South in the future-w be as appa-
rent as the MONDAY that blazed with such vivid
intensity yesterday-that Kansas and all other Ter
ritories of the Northwest, have BEEN under his ad
mnistration, irretrevably lost to the Southto that
very section of country that almost exclusively
elected him to his present exalted position.
What is the use Of condemning the President or OF
condemning Secretary Cobb. in case they do mot
repudiate the conduct of Walker after he has been
retained in office and power sufficiently long to
enable him to inextricaby Freesoil Kansas, and
hand the Territory over to our Northern enemies
There would be neither utility nor common sense in
such repudiation without indeed some scheme is or
foot to deceive the Southern people again.

THE LOST CABLE.-A late English paper has the
following: August 2l.--496 and 450 fathoms of an
electric telegraph cable, belonging to the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, were picked up on the sth and
18th of August, in Queenstown Harbor."
1t was noticed that, in laying the cable the continu-
ity of the electric current was by some means, at
present unknown, temporarily destroyed. Lieut-
Brooke. U. S. Navy, well known as the inventor of
instrument for deep soundings, offers the fol-
lowing explanation Of the phenomenon:
The conducting wires broke the gutta percha,
stretching with the outer wires drew the broken ends
apart, and continuity was then interrupted. But
when that portion of the cable approached the bot
tom it became slack. 1.-THE cable will be deposited
in waves upon the bottom Then the gutta percha,
relieved of the strain by virtue of its elasticity
tracing, drew the broken, separated ends of the
conducting wires together and continuity re-es
tablished. This re-establishment of continuity is
striking proof of the fact that the conducting wires
were broken, while the gutta percha remained un-
harmed Had it not been reestablished the inter
rupton would have been generally attributed to abra
sion of the guta percha the of constr lction
would have remained unexposed.

ss Rule or Ruin.,,

Although Col. Davidson has had every assurance,
and in every possible for that his continuing in the
field candidate for Congress is jeopardzing the
success of the State and local ticket although his
friends and advocates say he should have withdrawn
for the sake of the party although he pledged HIM
self, if he objectionable to respectable portion
of the Democratic party, he would withdraw !; al :
though it has been shown him that he is objectiona
BILE to large portion of the party and although it
is well known to every Democrat in the District and
State that his withdrawal would unite and harmonize
the party and unquestionabIy secure the triumph of
our local and State tickets, yet he persists, with
Madness to keep the field, alleging he has neither
the right nor disposition to withdraw The State
ticket may be covered with the disgrace of defeat,
but he will not retire the local tickets may go down
before the forces of Known othingism, but he will
not withdraw and the Democratic party may be
broken in pieces and destroyed, but he will continue
in the field let the consequences be what they may.
He could and he might have avefted the storm
which threatens to sweep down and destroy the
Democratic party, but he would not. He and his
"eyil advisers are determined to 'rule or run and
for this course he assigns his reason hat he has
neither the right disposition to withdraw No
questioned his disposition nor has he been
seriously suspected of any inclination to forego the
| "forlorn hope" of Congressional honors. If he has
not the right, who has? Who compeis him? Who
has deprfued him of this right? Who has robbed
him OF his personal liberty and driven him to disre-
gard the advice of his advocates and friends and
forced him to eopardZe the OF the State and
local tickets and destroy all hopesof the of
| the party. Why his own in.disposition his own
"mad and o'ervaulting ambition that is hurrying
him to destruction. Let principles go down, let
candidates be defeated let party be destroyed
but as for Col Davidson he will ''rule RUM be-
cause he has not "the right the disposition to

Now if the consequences shall be disastrous to the
