prospec. of a Countermareh

A gentleman who was lately in converse
ton with Hon. A. III. Stephens, at Crawford
ville informs US that Mr.. Stephens admits to
have said in substance what the Cincinna-
ii Commercial reports him saying-to wit 1:
''that he was in favor of the re-elee ton to the
Senate of Judge Douglas, and that he regard
ed the war by the President upon the Anti-Le-
compton men of Illinois avictedly foolish y
This gentleman who confesses to being a
Douglas man himself. also informs us that he
has heard Mr.. Toombs express his sympathy
for Douglas.
Now then, gentlemen editors of the Demo
cratic press what are you going to do-espe-
cially those of you who have gone so far
ahead of the music as to denounce Doug las as
TRAITOR" and, while expressing a doubt of
Mr.. Stephens having used the language impu-
ted to him, declared that, if he did do so, '.be
is no better than Douglas?" Are you going
to countermarch-take the back track-and
swear that Douglas, Stephens and Toombs
are right after all; that you misunderstood
the position of the former; that he is the same
patriotic friend to the South you used to
boast him; that he is very proper mana
good Democrat-who has been badly treated
by this 'wickedly FOOLISH Administration ?
Are you going to do this at the behest of
Toombs and Stephenson are you going to
stand to this combination of Northern and
Southern '.traitOrs?" We know that it is a
hard thing to confess ones lack of confidence
in his party leaders; but you must recollect
gentlemen, that the alternative before you is
to back out from your own position or repu-
diate that of Toombs and Stephens. If you
do the former, the people will certainly and
properly lose confidence in you, whether they
repose it in your leaders or not. We trust
that the Democratic press of Georgia will
have manliness enough to assert their indie
pendence of the dictatiOn of Tuombs and
Stephens, and to BATTLE to the bitter end.
against all who would screen the traitor
Douglas from the just Indignation of de-
! ceived and outraged Southern people. If they
have not, they should wear conspicuously
about their persons a badge of their servitude

Explosion of Gas.

On yesterday about 10 O'clock, heavy ex-
plosion, accompanied by startling crashing
sound, was heard in the Bank buildings corn
er of Madison and Main streets. For mo
ment CONSERVATION seized the occupants, both
above and below, and there was n general
rush into the street, from the idea that the
building had given way and was falling. 1t
proved to be, however, an explosion of gas in
the vault of the Bank of Memphis. On Sa-
turday, it appears that the gas burner, inside
the vault. which had been kept lighted with
a view to dry it, was not turned off when the
vault was closed. OF course, it would, in the
course of time, go out from the exhaustion of
atmospheric air, leaving the gas to continue
flowing.
On yesterday morning Mr.. Roach. the
Cashier, having occasion to go into the vault,
did so with lighted candle, when the gas in
stantly exploded, dashing him some distance
on the floor, and severely burning and bruis-
ing him. Mr.. Gilliland, the ook-keeper, was
also severely burned and otherwise wounded.
The conclusion was so tremendous as to shiv-
er to atoms the thick plates glass in the front
doors and to dash the wooden door at the rear

struck by it and considerably bruised about
the head and face.

not dangerously injured. Memphis Bulletin.
