CORRESPONDENTS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

CANTON, September 8, 1858.
Mn. EDItoR: The only event which hos excited
any general interest since my last communication,
was the advent among us of the YasOO Democrat.
And could the editor Of that paper have wituesse
the warm reception'with which it met, upon it's
arrival here, on Sunday last, his heart would
have been stirred with gratitude at this NANTES
taton of the deep interest his old friends take
in the success of its editor.
Instead Of the little news Of interest which
Canton affords at this time, perhaps it would be
more agreeable to many of your readers were
to weave into the rough fabric of this letter, by
way of variety and decoration, the notes which
friend has frnis he'd me- of the last Fancy Ball
at Cooper's Well. The company was much
smaller than upon any previous occasion Of this
kind, owingto an unfounded fever panic, which
sent many home and prevented others from
coming. But it is to the smallness Of the company
that this evening owes its peculiar enjoyment
for all were well acquainted, and the formality
of the ball room was discarded for the more free
and graceful courtesy of the parlor. And while
there was not mack in the ROOM and but few
costumes, the spacious saloon was filled, without
being crowded, by as gay and brilliant company
as ever graced it. The dresses Of the ladies
displayed degree of taste that entities them to
the designation of proficients in the art. OF
those in costume will speak of but two The
accomplished and interesting Miss D., of Kinds
who, in dress of deep blue, with scarcely q
plable band of silver, and fringed about the neck
with the same, was well qualified, by fine
figure proud yet graceful bearing, accompanied
by great suavity of manner, to represent the
Goddess of Liberty.
"Mark her majestic fabric; she's temple
Sacred by birth, and built by hands divine;
Her soul the deity that lodges therein;
Nor is the pile unworthy of the god"
The other was little Miss S., of Madison, who,
though but child in years, yet possesses an ease
and grace of manner so far beyond her years and
experience, that those who do not know to the
contrary would think her days are passed in the
parlor instead of the school room. With an
amiable address, polite manners, and great beauty
both of feature and expression, she bids fair to
become one of the brightest of the bright stars
that so thickly stud our social armament. The
color of her dress was not eas discerned beneath
the ample folds of blue veil, thickly spanged
with gittering stars, and confined to her head by
crown of the same. which fell in graceful waves
around her to the floor, giving her the appearance
Of being wrapped in veil torn from the most
richly decorated apartment of the Dome of Night
Thus did Aurora rise above the horizon of
expectation, the brightest morn that ever dawned
upon ball room. | should like to notice some
of the ladies not in costume, but that would be-
perhaps, an unwarrantable liberty.

Texas IrEMs.-The San Antonio Herald
SAYS that no part Of the world can beat the
mountain region of Texas in the production
Of wheat. That paper mentions several crops
in San Saba county, aud says that while
some of them have grown above forty bush,
els-to the acre, they have generally averaged
between thirty and forty
The McLennan Southerner says that a
buck deer had been lately killed in that
county, which had thirty spikes on each Of
its horns. It was very large, and had fat on
its breast an inch and half thick.
The Bexar Herald announces the arrival
there of some of the Bell county gold hun
lers. They brought with them about thirty
or forty pounds of silver ore, which had a
very pure look.

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

The next battle for the Presidency, inasmuch
as it presents the possibility of disunion, is re-
pulsive to the contemplation of Southern men
The stake at issue will be so important that the
mind delights not to dwell upon it, for fear it
may arrive at the conclusion that defeat is inevi-
table, But public attention cannot be too often
called to the possibility or rather probability, of
Black Republican victory. That party has left
no means untried, however foul and unfair, to
bring the Northern States to unanimty. Fusions,
coalitions conventions, Misrepresentation and
dOubledealing, have all been brought into re-
question: to allay party difference at the North,
and to bring its whole strength to bear against
eur institutions and our constitutional libert es
And these efforts have been dangerously success
full The greater portion of the Northern States
of this corfederacy expressly declare against tn
admission of any more slave States. They viii
meet in convention and nominate a candidat
for the Presidency, and then will be brought u
the question of Constitution or no Constitu ton
slavery or aboltionism They force upon us
sectional issue, and if we fail at the ballot-box
maintain our equality under the compact volun
tarily made and entered into for our mutua
benefit and protection, then must disunior
unequivocal and instantaneous be the sentimen
of every Southern patriot. 1t will not then do t
stop and count the costs, because it is tt
cardinal maxim of this country that freedom
beyond all price. 1t is a 'question-considere
in the Observation-Disclosures a Union of constaI
chickering's and jealousies, when one section mu
be constantly on the alert to prevent encroac
4 ments By the other, is worth much Of itself; b
when it is obvious that one portion has all q
power Of government and is ready te use it to tt
detrment of the other, then not only its wort
lessuess is settled, but it is beyond all dou
injurious and disgraceful to high minded peOpl
The Southern States are now as nearly unit
in sentiment as they win ever be, and if they wi
throw aside petty differences Of party and partizc
animosities, come squarely up to the section
issue, and so cast their votes, they may, with ii
assistance of Northern conservatives, be able
put down abolitionism and maintain the Const
tuition. If they do not succeed let disunioa
fully, fairly and freely ayowed-and let it /
accomplished speedily and peaceably, if possible
if not, it can be done by Southern swords an
Southern courage.

PURE WATER AND YELLOW FEvER.-The
New York News says:
Yellow fever has never visited any city
where the water was really pure, and this We
say with great respect to the Crescent City
which swesrs by the waters Of the muddy
Mississippi. Our attention was called to this
fact by an eminent officer who served in Mex

by all who have paid auy attention to the sub
ject, that the introduction of pure and whole
some water reduces almost to nothing th
danger of epidemic.
