The Canvass or 1 1860, Southern n
tfNA- sa Views.

1.-THE race of 1860, it is now evident,
will be between Mr.. Seward, Nj, Douglas,
and regularly nominated Democratic
candidate. Mr.. Douglas does not expect,
of course, to carry the election, but will
hope TO get it into the House, and there
dictate terms to the colored Republicans.
He presumes, naturally enough, that they
will prefer him to the Democratic candi-
date. He is marshaling his forces for
this result, and is determined to rule or
ruin. "--Richn,ond South.
On this the Charleston Mercury" makes
the following comment:
The above, we think, truly indicates the
probability ofan ultimate combination be-
tween Freesoil Democrats and Black Re
pubiicans at the North, to defeat the Union
and State Rights Democrats in the election
OF a Southern man at the aert Fres'fenf'a.
election. The nominations of Pierce and
Buchanan from the North, must be tot-
lowed By nomination for this section,
where tie strength Of the party lies. We
think the prospect, if not desperate, gel
certainly not radiate wiM tile hope OF sue
cess for the South.
| SOUTHERN VIEWS AS TO THE NEx1
pREs1pEYoY We have heretofore given
the opinions of two staunch Southern
Democratic journals-the Charleston
"Mercury" and the Richmond South
that the Republican candidate for the Presl
dency, in 1850, will probably be elected
The Lynchburg "Virgnian," an Ameri
can organ, says;
The New York Herald" Specializing
upon the future position of Senator
Douglas, thinks he will revenge himsel
upon the Democracy, as Van Burcn die
in lS4s, by defeating the regular Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency at The
next election We think it likely the
: Freesoil candidate for the Presidency il
$50 will have but little difficulty in beinl
, elected even without the assistance Of Mr.
Douglas.

ties of Nature, we were surprised TO find
Art com; cling even at this time of year,
successfully with her We admired and
appreciated nature; We admired but could
not fully appreciate Art; at least, the works
we refer to. They were those in the mar

Racing. . .,.l..tj.
While we give TO the proprietors due
credit for their enterprise, we cannot
withhold from the public tile real object
that makes their works so attractive. 1t is
the work of J. L. Waller. We rarely meet
with one who is so perfect in the art. The
design Of monument being executed for
the Burnaps, is one of the most imposing
we ever saw and the design is wholly
original. 1t is of solid block of marble,
probably two feet square, and about four
and alfhigh, we'll polished, upon which
is opened large book, designed for q
family record. 1t is well worth the time
spent to stop and see this masterpiece ol

revenge by sending you the specimen. 1t
Is what the Indians call Hic-o kee.' 1t
grows in Southern Texas, ON the range Of
the sand hills bordering on the Rio Grande,
and in gravel, sandy soil. The Indians eat
it for its exhilarating effect on the. system,
producing precisely the same effect as al
coholic drinks 1t is sliced, as you would
a cucumber, and these small pieces chewed,
and in about the time that comfortably
tight cocktails would stir the divinity
within you, this indicates itself; only its
effects are what might term little KAY
o-r-t-i-n-g, giving rather wider scope to
the imaginations and actions. 1t can be
sliced and dried, and in this way the Indi-
ans preserve it, then parch and serve it up
as coffee or tea 1t is evidently of the cae-
tus species, and it resembles that more
than any other plant. l have never seen
this particular root mentioned in any work,

Death of a Remarkable Man.

Died, at his residence near Racine Wiscon-
sin, on the Sd inst, Capt. John I. Tro8-
bridge, formerly of this city, in the 18th year
of his age.
Capt Trowbridgc was one of our torn born,
and will be remembered by the older portion
of our citizens as master of the ship Thomas,
OF this port, captured off the Isle of France
by q British squadron, which, after taking
from the ship all hands except Capt. Trow2
bridge, Mr.. Charles Peterson, (the father o.
Charles Peterson, ESD, Of this city, who was
brother in law and first officer of Captain
Trowbridge, and Benjamin Applewhite, the.
cook, put a prize crew of twehty-one men on
board, and ordered her to the Cape Of Good
Hope as a prize. On the passage, Captain
Trowbridge and Mr.. Peterson planned her re-
capture and succeeded in their design, and
proceeded TO Madagascar where they put the
prize crew of English on shore, having in
duced some Lascars composing part of the
prize crew, to join them as seamen after the
recapture of the chip. Here the ship was
captured again, by French frigate, under
the Berlin and Milan" DEGREES, and sent 10
the Isle Of France The French Governor
restored the ship and part of the cargo to
Island was taken by the British, but Capt
cargo to avoid contiscation, and escaped to
Batavia. After an eventful period of year
or two there, and most daring enterprise on
the coast of New Holland, where he recovered
by aid of dtcers upward of $250,0 900 in specie
from a sunken wreck, he was captured, with
all his specie, by his old enemies, the British,
being taken by frigate and carried to Java,
and afterwards to Calcutta, where he was
imprisoned in the famous Black Hole of that
city. Finally, he was taken to England as a
prisoner of war, and confined in Dartmoor
Prison, where he was at the time of the mas
sacre of the 9th April, 1915. On the news Of
peace Capt. L. was released on the 10th Of
April, and arrived at New York June 5th.
1915, having been absent So years.
Fond of enterprise he removed to the West
and settled at Rochester in 1916, where he
was for many years at the head of the we'll.
known commercial house of John I. Trow-
bridge & Co. After accommodating an ample
fortune, the vicissitudes of life again followed
him in the loss of property, and in 1886 he
removed to Racine county, where he has since
resided.
