Democratic Meeting.

A meeting Of the Democracy of Angus
ia, was held at the Court House on Mon
day, the 24th inst. for the purpose Of dis
cussing the propriety ola convention. Mr..
Jacob Baylor having been elected to the
chair, Absalom Koiner Esq, moved to take
the sense of the meeting in regard to con-
vention, in support Of which motion he
spoke very ably for some moments. Mr..
Baylor having resigned the chair to Col.
Anderson for the time, made aspeech ear
nestly advocating the holding Of Conyen-
ton. Capt. R. D. Hill and Capt. John A.
Hartman both followed, opposinga Conyen-
ton. Mr.. M. j. Hartman then moved to
lay Mr.. Koiner's motion on the table. Mr..
3. G. Biekle moved to postpone the meet
ing to decide on the holding Of a convention
indefinitely, the sense Of the meeting being
taken on the last motion, it was voted down.
It was then moved to postpone the meeting
until February Court, which was sustained
by the meeting. The only legitimate rea-
son for this postponement was we believe,
that the people had not had fair notice Of
the holding Of the meeting.
We earnestly hope that the whole demo
cracy will assemble here on Monday, the
18th day Of February next. We also hope
that the other counties Of the district, will
hold full and fair meetings to discuss this,
at present, very important question. Fol
ourselves. we are wiling to abide by the de
cision Of the people. After the meeting adj
journed, the candidates for Congress took
the stand, and we had very amusing and
entertaining speeches from Mr.. Jas. H.
Skinner, Col. VIM. H. Hartman, Mr.. J. T.
Harris, and DR.. A. NJ. Newman. The
candidates differing on no question of pub
lie interest, Of course were confined to per-
sonal issues, which they discussed with grea'
tact and delieacy.

adopted as to the expediency of transferring

The private calendar was then taken up,
and ten private bills passed. They we're Of
an unimportant character.
The President replied to the Senate reso-

the purchase Of Cuba, besides what had
been published, had taken place. Hereit-

subject. Adjourned until Monday.

SATURDAY., JAN. %. - House Mr.. Nor

the Legislature Of that State, in relation to
what he affirmed, was question Of moment
to the country.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn., did not want the
resolutions read.
Mr. Florence remarked that the Legisla-
ture was DESTROYS Of having an opportunity
to express its sentiments.
The Clerk commenced reading the reso-
buttons, when Mr.. Garnett objected.
This excited considerable discussion,
Messrs. Florence, Morris, Stephens, and
Barksdale urging that the resolutions should
be read, as a courtesy due sovereign State
and Messrs Garnett and Curry Directing to
the reading. Finally, the objection was
withdrawn.
The resolutions were then read. They in

education is very good sort of a thing in
its way, but who can see no practical results
to the business interests of the community
which will probably flow from the establish
mcnt Of a College in our midst. With them
the question is twill it pay?" By way of
reply to this inquiry we beg leave to say
that 1t aciU pay any parent in Augusta
County who has two or more sons to edu-
cate to subscribe now liberal sum to es-
tablish first class College in his own Coun-
ty, at which his sons may be economically
taught it will pay in the saving Of travelling
expenses to and costly outfits for distant
Colleges and in the continuance of the son,
while pursuing his studies, under the whole
some restraints of parental infence.
1t aoiN pay those engaged in all the in.
dustrial pursuits Of life to have forty or fifty
thousand dollars 10 money annually brought
from abroad and spent in the community.
Much Of the prosperity Of the town and
Country is derived from the expenditures
incident to our various institutions Of chari-
ty and learning. It is estimated that the
Virginia Female Institute alone annually
draws into our community for outlay and
expenditure in various ways from $25, 900
to 100000. May we not confidently ex-
pect that the College we propose to estab-
lish will open much larger fountain of
prosperity for our people BY enlarging the
market for the products Of their skill and la
bour?
Whether viewed then in its moral and
intellectual aspects or in its material inau-
ence on the business interests of the COM
munity, the College if a success, will prove
to be q blessing.
Shall not its success become an accom-
plished fact? Shall all the advantages
which We have endeavored to set forth fail
for want of faith as grain Of mustard
seed" in our ability to command success

Invalid mothers often prolong their existence
by daily contact with their children. l once
knew woman who, by weak lungs and mineral
doctors, had been prostratcd with incurable
consumption Her infant occupied the same
bed with her almos. constantly, day and night.
The mother fingered for months on the verge
of the grave, her demise being hourly expected.
She still fingered on, daily disproving the
predictions of her medical attendants. The
child, meanwhile, pined without any apparent
disease. Its once plump little checks fell away
with singular rapidity, till every bone in its
face was visible Finally it had impaired to
its mother its last spark of vitality, and sim.
utaneouslv both died.

OLD AND YouSG SLEEPING TOGETHER. "A
habit which is considerably prevalent in almost
every family, of allowing children to sleep
with older persons, has ruined the nervous VI
vacity and physical energy of a promising child.
Those having dear old friends, whose lives they
would like to perpctuatc at the sacrifice OF
their innocent offspring, alone should encourage
this evil; but every parent who loves his child,
and wishes to preserve to him sound nervous

that his nervous vitality is not absorbed by
