During the late county scat contest
in this county, it has been gratifying
to witness the good nature manifested
by men of all parties, especially when
meeting one another. No disgraceful
fights or quarrels, that we are aware
of, have resulted from the Jealous ef
forts of gentlemen in any part of the
county to carry their point. This fac,
speaks well for the self respect and
high character of our citizens.

doing their utmost to distractand defeat

most brilliant triumphs, that ever crown

Autumn.

Autumn, the saddest season ofthe year
hath come again-the season IF the sere
and yellow leaf, when nature seems
stricken with a bage of universal decay.
The leaves Of the forest fall before the
chilling north wind and drift in scatter
ed heaps through the forest, and decay;
the l~eafiess trees culver and sigh in the
wind for the vcrdant glory which has
departed from them the bright grass
upon which the eye could rest from the
dust and smoke of the city, changes its
color and drops back into the lap of
Mother Earth: the jolly little birds who
have chartered and sung all summer in
the woods, like non-paying tenants,
have received notice to quit and depart
to warmer regions, and instead of their
lively songs VIC hear nothing but means
of the brave old trees, as If l~amenting
the dissolution Of sylvan nature. The
days of pic.nics and fun in the woods
are over, and the people will have to
content themselves with ovcrcoats and
stone coal fires, for the time Of big hearth
stones and logs have almost fed, and
only the c~heerfu!ness they impaired to
the home scene lives in memory. Win
ter, in our opinion, is rot a very agree
able season; it deals a little too much in
~overcoats, -stogy boots, blue lips and
shivering limbs, and the suffering it in
variably brings with it to the poor touch
es one on the side of his humanity.
Poverty can sweat and live the summc
time, but it goes hard to freeze and starve
through the winter. But there is nc
use in growing at the changes of the
season, for they come and go whether
agreeable or not; and if the crimson tint
| of summer has faded before the wither,
ing winds Of autumn, we are assured II
will come again, and if the glorious bloom
of nature has departed, VIC know it is
not forever and if the fragrance of tho
flower has gone, we know it will smell
swecter after having been long away
In the language Of the genial wit, Ton
HooD-"poor Toms a cold naw"-
We can say
"Winter's gone and over, fogs are
falling down,
And with russet tingcs Autumn's do
ing brown"

nesses lere have given in testimony in
the most unmistakable and dubious
manner. IF you have not heard it, the
Court is not in fault. AS sensible hu-
man beings, you must bring your in
eongruous, impaired and fallacieus
Judgments together and after you mu-
tually insult each other in the Jury
room, and find out the amour of dam
ages which you think the plaintiff has
suffered at the hands of the press, and
his fellow citizens, you must bring in
your verdict, and the Court will allow
him to make an 'extra levy" to that
amount. The Court is unable to speak
in fitting and grateful terms of the OBJ
seqeuousness and mendacity of the wit
nesscs, in this important trial, and is
under unbounded obligation to
sci, especially Redtop, for the stultifed,
corteous and diabolical manner in which
he has managed the case. Now, gen
tlemen-will read the evidence con-
tanned in the cards of witnesses, here
tofore published, and do credit to your
selves, the benignant institutions of the
Union, and spontaneous injustice every
where, by the ubiquity of your decision.

AHthe Territories E,oo

The fact that slavery has no foothold
in any of the organized Territories of the
United States, is an unanswerable ar
gument against the black Republican
charge that the Democratic party, when
in power, favors the extension of slavery.
KANSAS IS FREE
NEBRASKA Is FREE.
UTAH Is FREE.
OREGON Is FREE
WAStttSGToS is FREE.
D&kOTAn Is FisEE.
NEW MEXICO IS FREE.
The above comprise all our organized
Territories. There is nc intelligent man
North or South who believes that a slave
State will be made out of any of those
Territories, or out of any unorgani ed
territory not embraced within the limits
of the State of Texas. The Democracy
have had possession of the Government
nearly all the time since 1890, and if
their policy leads to to the extension of
slavery into free territory, why is it that
to day all of III. latter are free, and
that nobody expects to see slavery es-
tablished as an institution in any ofthem?
The story about slavery extension is all
bosh and CANNON? The government at
Washington has no power to extend or
it. The whole subject is lief,
to the people of the States and Terrific
RIGS themselves, AMI they will do as they
ple1se, without caring for the clamor of
outsiders.

The total imports of railroad iron
from Great Britain to the United States
for the first seven months of 1853, COM
pared with those during a like space in
1856 and 81, are as follows:
1856. 1857. 1853.
1905 tons. 1O5 GLIB tons. $3.50 tons
These figures do not exactly sustain
the assertions of the high Protective
Tarifites, that our iron manufacturers
are suffering for van of protection from
ruinous foreign competition. An i'm
portation ssof only fire thousand tons of
railroad iron, in seven months, is no
competition at all, and proves that the
tariff has nothing to do with the present
hard times. That our manufacturers
are suffering, we do not doubt, and no
one regrets it more than VIC. But it is
from the depression in all sorts of bust
ness, and more particularly in enterpri-
ses requiring large investments of capt.
tai, like railroads, and not from foreign
competition. There is no demand for
iron at this time, and therefore if the
duty upon it were entirely removed, the
consumption would not be increased.

At last we have something official
and Ineligible in regard to the condi-
ton of the Atlantic cable. Mr.. Varley,

he is styled by the Comrany-has made
a report on the state of the cable as OBJ
served by him on the 9th, 18th, 6th, 9th
and 10th of September, and the result,
we regret to say, is by no means en-
couraging. He finds "a fault of great
magnitude at a distance of between 245
and 500 statute miles from Valentia,'
and possibly in water of but 40 fathoms
in depth. lie finds the cable unbro-
ken, but thinks fine power used will
shortly eat away the exposed copper
wire in the faulty piece by electrolytic
decomposition. He is satisfied also that
there is another "fault" moro distant
than this, the approximate locality of
which he could not establish without
communication with Newfoundland.
From authentic data shown him at
V~arlentia, he is of the opinion that there
Mas a fault in the cable on board the
Agramemnon before it was submerged.

1900 miles of cable, situated at a dis
