steady flow Of pap from the boridden Office

some tesing blows upon TIE more vulnerable
and salient points Of Grays character The de,
liueatieDs are very life-likc, aud are sufficiently
apt, without any drafts upon the imagination
Mari JOHNSON, the nigger catcher, wishing to
make good his claim to his daily bread, makes
common cause with the Democrat, and proves
himself an adept in The use Of the democratic
vernacular The showing up Of which the old
hag, modern democracy, gets from these chaps
who have cudled and kenneed with, and hung

challenges admiration, aud extorts the admis-
sion that cleverness in the accomplishment Of

INDIAN CoRN.--If Indian corn was raised en-
tirely by negro labor, as cotton is, corn would
be king, and cotton would be only cabinet
minister. The annual corn crop of the United
States is reasonably estimated 9O0,OOO,OO0 of
bushels, which is worth S3GO,OOO OOO0-more
than double the value Of the cotton crop, which
has such commercial and political Importance.
The Cincinnati Gdzette estimates the corn crop
Of the six great western States, Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, for
this year at 405, 900 900 bushels Half of this
will be surplus for making whskey and fatter-
ing pork, and for expectation And the mar
ketable value of the corn and its products sold
will be sold at least Sl5O,O0O,000. Thus the
surplus corn crop of one seventh of the surface
Of the United States is of more value than the
whole cotton crop of the South. The CONNER
cial operations Of Cincinnati in corn aud the
hogs made Of corn amount annually to thirty
million dollars. These facts show the impor-
tance of the corn crop. The loss on this great
staple by single unpropitious season might
equal 10 value the entire cotton crop and yet so
abundant is it, and so equally is it distributed
in hundreds of thousands of hands, that the
commerce of the country would hardly be SEN
sble Of the loss The loss Of half the cotton
crop would bring inevitable commercial panic
and disaster

KANsAs.-The democrats of Kansas, are
disheartened by the overwhelming adoption
Of the Wyandotte constitution. They are
undecided as yet what course to pursue,
whether to contest the election Of state Off
GERS under it, or disregard the instrument
altogether, and oppose its ratification by
Congress The party organ at Leaven-
worth advocates this latter course, but a
convention has nevertheless been called at
Lawrence to nominate ticket should the
democrats decide to have one. The repub-
lican ticket nominated at Topeka on the
18th, and headed by Charles Robinson for
governor, gives universal satisfaction, and
leaves no opportunity for "bolt."

QUARTERLY 'REvIEw.-A Review TO be called
the National Democratic Quarterly Rerietc
is announced at Washington, Tnos. B. FLOR
ENcS, Esq, editor. A prospectus has been re-
ceiVed from the editor, with q circular soliciting
our aid in the collection Of subscribers, to give
the thing start. The particular stripe of its
democracy may be judged of from the fact,
that "the title page is to be embellished with a
likeness of His Excelency, JAMES BUCHANAN,
on Steel" This is, perhaps, sufficiently signif-
cant, but we suggest it might be made a little
more SO by changing the autobiography of the
last term 1t would then answer equally well
for any member of the cabinet. We have no
objections to making this announcement or re-
ceiving the subscriptions of our democratic
friends at SO head, but we dislike the solicit
part. Our experience is discouraging. We
presented the papers TO the landlord of the
FISK House, who we consider specimen brick
OF democracy, and told him we would take his
S3, and he laughed in our face. AS the Pres-
dent is to be the figure head of the work, we
felt willing to give il little favorable attention,
on account of the respect we feel for him, grow
ing out of the expressive sentiment, which fell
from bis lips-"that if he had drop of demo-
cratic blood in his veins, be would let it out"
80, hand on your subscriptions, democrats, if
you would have us act as Mr.. Florences agent.
We, however care nothing about the steal like
ness. 1t might be sent to Jefferson, where we
believe our friend HENDRY is gathering cabi-
net of :grent rogues, and little rogues, and
would DO doubt give this prominence, equal
to its merits.

BENSET AND THE DEaoCRAcY .-Wayward
and erratic, sometimes opposing the democracy,
Bennett and his paper have yet rendered more
Substantial service TO the democratic cause than
any other iustrumentality Yet none of its con-
ventions, none Of its presidents have dared to
recognize the service or repay the obligation.
Mr.. Pierce had opportunities, and ignored them.
The democracy of the city of New York have
just refused to make Mr.. Bennett their mayor,
as year ago they denied his congressional am
btion. And Mr. Buchanan, with all his accu.
mulaiive Indebtedness to Mr.. Bennett, will refuse
him It is said, the vacant French mission. The
President has not the moral courage to recog-
uize and reward his best friend. He courts his
support, i1atters his wife, dimes and wines them
both in private, but dares not publicly to ac-
knowledge Benefits claims to political recogni-
tton aud reward.

CHARLKsTowE, Dec. Is.
At hall. past O'Clock this evening two OF
the condemned prisoners, Cook and Cppio,
escaped from the Jail and were fred upon by
the scntinels and driven back TO prison they
are now in custody Of Sheriff Campbell. The
prisoners had mounted the Jail wall when
they we're discovered by the sentinel ON the
outside, who Immediately gave the alarm and
fred upon them. They had sawed their
nanacles asunder with the blade of Barlow
knife, which they had concealed and made
into 6ne saw. 1t il ascertained from their
confession that they have been engaged In
preparing for their escape during the lass 10
days. They made hole in the wall near
the window, which they concealed with pa
per, hiding the bricks they removed under
the bed. Upon the alarm being given, they
made no resistance, but surrendered as soon
- they discovered by the shot Of the senti-
mel that they were detected.
The event has produced the utmost excite
ment here, and all are on the alert. Major
General Taliaferro is directing everything 10
person, and will maintain an uninterrupted
supervision OF affairs until after the execu-
ton. We DO not apprehend any further dif-
fculty.
Cook says he could have made his escape
bad he jumped down and throttled the SEN
tinel.

ceptance of the Regency Of Central Italy, BY
Corignan, Prince Of Savoy, will be submitted

brought about the organisation under the
name of Central Italy, as springing from an

The south rn IxnfIFOaS d.

A meeting of the citizens OF Carthage was
held Ia the Court House, ON Thursday night
last, to consider the project of the road from
Carthage to Clayton, there connecting with
the Great Western Road. Mr.. Hornish, one
OF the contractors, made q very sensible
speech, in which he showed the great advan-
tage Of this road to this community, bring
ing us in connection with oil the important
lines south and east. He also gave assuran-
ces Of its certain construction within short
period of time, if the citizens Of Carthage
and other points on the line now come for
ward with sufficient basis for grading and
teing the road. Some of our citizens have
responded literally to the call. Mr.. Artois
Hamilton subscribed the grading of one mile;
Squire r. Davis, half q mile; NJ. Gouchman,
half q mile; B. T. Scofeld and David f..
Head furnishes ties for half mile; j. M.
Ferris and w. III. Manner, ties for a quarter
of mile Benz. Clark agrees to either grade
or furnish ties for whole mile; f. Oorby
subscribed one share--$l00; G. s. Hamilton,
800; E. Harris, 800; VIM. Metsalf, 800;
+. Loring, 800; and several others sub
scrbed, making the aggregate amount about
Us ,000-from three to FIVE thousand short OF
what we ought to raise. There are parties
here who are determined TO raise the balance
rather than loose the road still in a work so
manifestly to the advantage Of the whole
community, the burden should be borne
equally, and every good citizen should have
his part and not suffer a few liberal ones to
bear ALL Carthage Repub.
