OTHOR. SINGLETON.

The fourth District forms an exceptional
case in the Mississippi delegation in Congress,
that district having been occasionally reple-
sented by wings or Know Nothiugs, and it
has always required democrat of strong
persona! popularity to carry it. In 1853, O.
R. Singleton was elected to represent it by
a respectable majority. But in 1865, Col.
Sngl eton was beaten and was succeeded by
know>nothing, Mr.. Lake Again in 1851,
the tables were turned and Col Singleton
beat his former successful opponent easily
The district may now be considered as firmly
and permanently democratic, and that it is
so, the party owes much to the uutiring zeal
and eloquence of the present member.
We are not acquainted with Col. Single
ton personally. We only know him as
member OF Congress, and in that position he
certainly holds a high rank, both as a speak
er aud firm, consistent Democrat. He took
prominent part in the debates OF the House
during the sessions of 1854 and '55 and gave
warm support TO the administration oI
President Pierce. We well remember bis
spirited remarks on our relations with Spain
delivered in the House in June, 1854. In
those remarks he took precisely the same
position that President Buchanan assumed in
his last annual message in regard to Cuba
and that Col. JEFF. Davis presented to the
Senate when he recently proposed to take
possession Of the island by attachment. But
the most finished and elaborate speech he
made in Congress, during his first term o
service, was the one he delivered on the 26th
of February, 1856, on the knowtnothing or
ganization. This was chaste, classical and
powerful effort, one of the best that was call
ed forth by that exciting topic. He han
died the know nothings without gloves and
exposed the iniquities of their organization
with keen, cutting sarcasm. 1t was thi;
speech, no doubt, that raised up against him
the direful anger of the know-nothings il
Kinds, Warren and Yazoo, where they haC
large majorities, and induced them to ust
extraordinary exertions to defeat him at The
next election, and they succeeded. But trutl
is great and will always ultimately prevail
Two years afterwards, Col. Singleton bea
them, with the same opponent as their lead
er, by much larger majority than they ha(
ever been able to get in the district. Ii,
was elected even without the aid of Lauder
dale, which they charged at the time, ha'
been thrown into the district merely to Sc
cure his election.
Col. Singleton, we are assured, is gentle
man OF the most pleasing manners, and !
greatly admired aud beloved by all who knoV
him, for the many excellent qualities both Q
his head aud his heart. He is in the prim
of manhood. and has doubtless before hir
many more years of usefulness in the publ
service columbus Democrat.

reprobation as even more dangerous than the
open and avowed Abolitionists themselves
All Christendom, the whole civilized world
that is, the whole combined moral force of
monarchical Europe, is arrayed against
American Democracy uuder the mask of hos>
tility to slavery, which they assume we
cherish, and they demand that the dogma of
a single race shall be practically applied by
including negroes and other subordinate ra-
ces in our political system, the result Of
which instinct, if not reason, teaches them
will be to debase and d3moralze and destroy
our institutions. And the time has come
when Americans must be guided by their
own common sense and the truth of things,
instead of following the theories of European
monarchists and the absurd dogmas of their
deadly enemies The question then, we
repeat, that every man should ask himself is,
whether lie will continue silently or passive
y to assent to a lying abstraction which en-
dangers the peace of the country and the
success of Republican institutions? The
negro element is now about four millions,
aud the time, therefore, at hand when the
stupid and foolish lie that the negroes are
beings like ourselves, must be exploded ut.
terly and forever. Nor can there be or should
there be any further federation for those weak
and efeminate creatures who denouuce the
Abolitionsts but cling to the Abolition the
ories When there were half million Of
negroes this folly might be overlooked, but
not now. They are the most dangerous ele-
ment in the anti-"slavery" delusion, and il
they have not sufficient strength or manli-
ness or patriotism or honesty to cast aside
the theories of Abolition, they should be
driven into its ranks and rendered powerlcss
at once.

Crooked Misunderstanding of the Rio
Graude, a writer says:
Imagine of the crookedest thing in the
world, then imagine to yourself one twice
as crooked, and imagine large river about
three times as crooked as all these put TO-
gether and you have faint idea of the
crooked disposition of this crooked river.
There is no drift wood on it from the fact
that it is SO crooked that timber cannot find
its way far down enough to lodge two sticks
together; but few snakes, because it is not
straight enough to swim in, and the fish are
all in whirlpools in the bends of the river,
because they cannot find their way out
Birds frequently attempt to fly across the
river, but alight on the very same side they
start from, being deceived by the crook
Indeed, you may be deceived when you
think you see across it, and some of the
Bhoys say it is SO twisting there is but ont
side to it.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SENATE CHAM


We find the following description Of tie
now Senate Chamber given by a corrsspon-
dent of the New York Herald.
The general aspect of the new hal is light
aud graceful. In shape and dimensions il is
similar to the new Hall of Representatives
but to the eye appears more finely proper
toned. The style and character Of decora~
ton are nearly the same in both Houses, ex-
cept that in the Senate the tone of color is
much more subdued. The area o. the floor
is so feet by 4s feet, and of the roof ll2 by
80 feet, the difference being occupied by n
continuous gallery around the four sides ,f
the apartment, and capable of seating 1900
persons. The inner roof or ceiling, of iron
is fiat, with deep panels, twenty 'one of which
are fitted with ground glass. having in the

seem like a softened effec Of sunlight The
ceiling is thirty-6ve feet from the foor, bus

THE CoCKNEY's BAGGAGE.

A full-booded cockney, who is now taking
notes on the United States, CHANGED to be
on one of our Southern trains, when run.
off took place, and general mixing up of
things was the consequence. Cockney's first
act, after strengthening out his collapsed hat,
was to raise terrible 'ubbub about lis bag>
gage, and among other things wanted to
know "hif railroads hin Hamerica wasn't
responsible for baggage stolen, smashed or
missing p
"Weell, yes," said the Tenuesseean ad-
dressed, "but it's devil of job to get
your pay"
"Why o2'
"They will perhaps admit your claim, but
then they offer to fight you for it; that's a
standing American rule. There is the man
employed by this road to fight for baggage"
pointing to huge bewhiskeled train-hand,
who stood by with his sleeves rolled up, 81
.hink, if my memory serves me, no has
fought for sixty-nine lots, and id if he
hain't won 'em all. They give him the
empty trunks for his pay, and he is making
hundred dollars month in selling trunks,
valises, carpet-bags and satchels. Have you
lost any baggage|
"Ho, no, not hat hall Hi just hasked to
learn your custom in case Hi did lose hany.
Hi don't think Hill lose mine, 'owever."
Here the train hand, who overheard the
talk, stepped up and inquired, "Have you
lost anything"
"Ho, no no, no!' replied COckney, with
much energy.
"Can't I sell you trunk ~
'Thank you, sir-nO, Hi think Hi ave a
supply"
"Well, if you do either lose your baggage
or want to buy a trunk, already marked,
id if / amt the man to call on"
1t is needless to say that instead of rais-
ing Cain generally, as Cockney had been
doing, he betook him to zealously writing
notes on American customs during the re-
mainder of the delay. lad

Fair moon that witnessed my delight

We walked, the cloudless summer night,
Beneath the purple clustered vine
Say, hast e'er famed fairer face
With the mild splendor of thy wing,
Or known form of gentler grace
Than hers of whom l fondly sing2
Ye stars that in her happy eyes,
Looked down,and saw yourselves more bright
Speak! have you ever, from the skies,

The fairest thing in Paradise,
The worlds first lover woke at morn,
She flashed on his astonished eyes9
Ye trees. whose branches oer my head,
Waved pendulous that blessed eve,
And heard the loving vow she said,
Do love-birds sweeter strains e'er weave?
Or do the tales the soft winds bring,
Which make thy whispering leaves rejoice,
Or silvery streamlets murmuring,
In melody surpass her voice?
0 sea that kissd our feet that night,
Did heavenly Venus fairer roam,
When like the Iris, clothed in light,
She leap'd to life, amid thy foam?
Or when thy waves bore from the land
Egypts dark Queen-hal she more charms
Or Hero, when upon the. strand
She clasped LCander in her arms?
Winds! that bore from the gardens bloom,
Like spirits of the loved in death,
The soul of fowers-a sweet perfume
Say, was it sweeter than her breath?
And when you kiss'd her blushing cheek,
And nestled in her jetty hair,
And sinuous, stirrd her bosom meek,
Did ye not seek warm death there!
They all are silent-moon and stars,
And trees, and ever-rolling sea,
And winds that, yoked to fairy cars,
Bear endless freights of melody
They speak not; yet loving heart
What heeds it what the answer be
Though tho whole world deny each part,
Is she not more than all to thee?

JAMES SMITHS STAvE MAcHINE-AY EVANS
VILE SvESTIoS.-Among the machines ex-
hibited at the Fair, was one invented by a
townsman, for cutting slaves, which is be-
lieyed TO posses decided advantages over
any of the numerous recent inventions for
the same purpose. The machine consists Of
a cylinder of the size of barrel, within
which is permanent platform, on which the
block Of wood is placed. As this is pressed
up to the side of the cylinder, by turning a
crank, two knives, with edges protruding
within the cylinder, clip of a staye each at
every revolution. A speed OF so revolutions
throws off 800 slaves per minute. The ex-
periments with the working model prove
the machine a success. The peculiar adj
vantages of this invention are that it does
double the work of any other, and performs
il as well as the best; and il costs but little
more than half as much as the other stave
machines. There is very simple and ex-
celient stave joiuter, on new plan that ac.
companies the staye cutter. The invention
does credit to the mechanical skill of Evans
willie, and our citizens ought to take pride
and interest in promoting its success. Mr
James Smith is the patentee.
