CENTRAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB.-This organization
comprises. understand, some six hundred enroll
ed members. Since the resignation Of VIM j. Rose
Esq, who was appointed to a responsible position
in the State Department at Washington, c. H. Brack-
EFT, ESQ.,, has been chosen President. The members
of the club are all young and vigorous Democrats,
who devoted to the principles of Democracy, and
will adhere to them through all emergencies. Like
all organizations of this kind the club have had diff
ficulties to contend with They voluntarily expen-
died. in various ways, several hundred dollars during
the past election, all of which has been paid except
about one hundred We understand they have it
in contemplation to have a grand celebration on
Washington's birthday, the 22d of February. On
that occasion we expect a brilliant display. It is
time, think, that some young and vigorous organ
zation took the lead in political matters in this city,
and this club promises to become such body. We
wish it every success They recently passed the fol-
lowing resolutions sustaining Mr.. Buchanan:
Whereas, At the opening of the present Congress
an opposition was manifested against the Presidents
message; and Whereas the said message foreshad-
ows the principles and wise policy of the present adj
mpistration; therefore : -
Resolped, That the administration Of James Buch.
anan is deserving our fullest confidence and that
whether assailed BY open secret foes we pledge
to it our united. hearty and earnest support
Resotoed That we regret the defeat Of the Hon. F.
Wood, the reg0lar Democratic nominees for Mayer Of
the city and county Of New York, and we deeply
condemn the action Of those Democrats whose defec
ton eontributed to his defeat z Der Bod. =

COMMERCIAL AND CHANCE SPEcuLATIoNs.-.The whole
world is lottery, in which all the men and women
are continually drawing blanks and prizes. Society
would cease to have any excitement-fe would
have no charms were this not the case; for man
kind must have something to hope for, in order to
exist. Commerce is based upon this necessity Of
mans nature and all kinds Of business and trade
are purely speculative, because nothing is certain.
The establishment of lotteries has grown out of the
knowledge of this principle which operates so pow
erfully upon society," and they will always be
toned and supported because they truly benef-
cal to large majority Of the public, who crave ex-
element in matters Of gan and desire to do so with
out being subjected to the injuries and loss of time
incidental to gaming. They are as strictly CONNER:
cal as any other business where risks are INDUCED
in-or chance rules every result where investments
are made. Hence it is, that Messrs Swan & Co., of
Atlanta, Georgia, who draw lottery every Satur-
day, are successful They receive by mail, ten, five,
or two dollars and half for whole, hall, or quar-.
ter Of ticket and they send out more than one
prize 70 every ten applicaons-whe the ticket hol-
der, to whom they promptly send, sometimes finds
himself the possessor of q fortune.

EDUCATION THE SoUTH--PRoPosED GREAT
SOUTHERN UNIvERsITY-A movement has been in
progress for some years past among the Bishops
and leading dgnitaries Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church South with the view of establishing great
Southern University. The principal members of
this denomination throughout the Southern States,
with the exception of Virginia, Kentucky and Mis-.
souri,, which have institutions of their own of
somewhat similar character to that proposed, are
engaged in this movement. An address, setting
forth the reasons in favor of the establishment Of
such University, and presenting plan for its Or
ganization, has been published by the following Pro-
:estant Episcopal Bishops, and circulated among the
members and friends of the Church in Southern and
Southwestern States:-
James Il. Otey, Bishop of Tennessee.
Leonidas Polk, of Louisiana.
s Il E. Gc Elliott of Of e ssSssia;
George ". Freeman. Missionary Bishop of the
South and Southwest.
w. NJ Green, Bishop of Mississippi
F. q. Rutledge, of Florida.
Thos F. Davis, of South-C Carolina
Thos. Atkinson, of North-Carolina.
Considerable progress has already been made to-
wards the accomplishment of the enterprise, site
having been selected for the erection of a suitable
building. The place chosen is on the Cumberland
mountain, in the State of Tennessee and is called,
Suannee 1t is said to be admirably adapted for the
pnrp0se both account of its location and its &C.
feasibility by direct railroad routes from Savannah,
Charleston, and towns North, East West and South.
The plan which has been submitted. in the adj
dress referred to- provides that the University should
be wholly under the perpetual direction of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church that the Board of Trustees
should be composed of the Bishops of the doceses,
&c c6icio uniting and clergyman and two lay
men from each diocese to be elected by the Conven-
tons of the same; that the of $500, 900 shall
be the least amount with which the enterprise shall
be commenced, and that the senior Bishop by conse-
Grafton of the University Association shall always be
Chancellor of the University. The other points of
the plan consist simply Of the details of the organ
zation-those We have given presenting its principal
features. The institution, should add, is to be
known by the title of "The University of the Sout
Although, apart from the religious character of
this movement, there is no allusion whatever in the
address to the in which it has originated there
is no doubt that it has provoked and encouraged if
it has not grown out of the anti.savery agitation at
the North. Throughout the whole existence of the
republic, the shareholders of the South except in
few instances have had their ed
ucated in Northern colleges and universities; but
the movements Of the anti-slavery party must soon
lead te the withdrawal from great Northern in
situations ofearning the Southern portion of their
pupils. To this reduction in their numbers and
means of support they may attribute the sectional
anmostes and feelings engendered by the abolition
lists.

CrinOline in Rhyme.
BY THE PRINTERS DEvIL--A SON OF THE
OLD MAN.

A lady with crinoline was walking
down the street, her feathers fluttered in
the air, her hoops stuck out feet. She
walked the earth as if she of it was no
part, and proudly did she step along for
pride was in her heart. She did not see
curly dog which walked close by her
side, all save the bushy tail of which her
crinoline did hide. His tail the dog with
pleasure shook--it futtered in the wind,
and from the lady's crinoline stuck ont
foot behind. A crowd the tail soon did
espy, as it waved to and fro, and like a
rudder seemed to point which way the
maid should 60. The curly dog right
pleased was he such quarters he had got,
and walked beside the lady in kind of
doggish trot. Each step the lady now
did take, served to increase her train,
while those who followed in her wake
roared out with might and main. Some
held their sides and laughed so hard, and
many fairly cried, and many even still
confess, that day they'd ''like to died. :"
But still the lady sailed along in crino-
line and pride, unmindful of the crowd
behind, or dog close by her side. But
another dog espied the tail which fut-
tered free-it SO provoked his doggish
ire he could not let it be-but with a
deep ferocious growl, for battle straight
he went, and meath the lady's crinoline
both dogs were quickly bent. They
fought it's said one hour or more--the
lady nothing knew-but with her head
erect sailed ON, and did her way pursue.
Some say she never would have known
at all about the fight, had not one dog
mistook and gave her limb an awful
bite. But since that day I've heard il
said, the lady meier was seen upon the
street, with so much pride-and such a
erinoline.
