Our correspondent "a National Democrat" sug,
essts the first Thursday in March as the proper time
for holding our State Democratic Convention. We
should like to have an expression Of opinion from
our political friends throughout the State on this
subject.
While our correspondent repudiates the idea OF
making the currency question test Of party feslty,
he thinks ii proper thai the Convention should pro-
claim its views on simportant question. We can
not believe that difference Of opinion on mere de-
tsils growing out Of the question Of currency, viii
prevent any Democrat from supporting the ticket.
We are equally well assured that large majority
Of the Democratic party throughout the State agree
substantially on the proper mode Of relieving them
selves from the evils Of paper currency and have No
doubt that the Convention will reflect the wishes Of
the people.

INC Nicnrarua Emigrants,

AUGUSTA GA Nov. 24.-The Mobile Mercury o.
Monday last contains a card of Walter Smith, stat
ing that he assured q crowd Of emgrsnts at Mr.
Hessees Office Fridry that the vessel would not be
cleared for Nicaragua unless directions were res
eeived from Washington. He advised Mr.. Hessee to
return the passage money, and committee was ap-
pointed to arrange sIsettlement. The crowd quiet
~ dispersed.
The local column of the same paper says that the
emigIsnt vessel had been csrtered to carry cotton
to Hamburg.
Gen. Walker left Mobile on Saturday and Judge
Campbell arrived on the same day.
The Mobile Register Of Saturday says that it is
well known that Judge Campbell desires TO embar-
rsss the proposed emigration from the Southern
States to Nicaragua, and that the public with in
stinctive Judgment has come to the conclusion that
the special term of the Circuit Court Of the United
States of the Southern District Of Alabama is held
for political purposes.
The Register is particularly severe on the Judge,
and accuses him of disposition to follow the most
arbitrary forms and tyrsnucle precedents.

in anticipation Of the shock, which, however, was
not great, as neither vas eneumbered BY themomen-
tum Of train But the force Of the collision jerked
the throttle valve Of the upward engine vide open,
aud before the engineer could regain his footing it
lesped backward with frightful bousd and dissp-
peared eity-ward, in the thick fog! Horror seized

path mile below, were hundred passengers,
settled their cushioned seats in the Columbus Ex

and the doomed people were hardly warned oy the
