Democratic Jubilee.

Democratic Jubilee is advertised to
come off at Nashville on the LIST of Octo-
Der. AS the object calling for the demon
stration is of problematical substance,
the managers have had the good sense to
fix the occasion about the time of the
meeting of the Legislature, when there is
generally large influx of strangers to the
City, andth Il respectable show of num-
bers may be made-which would not be
the case had an earlier day been selected.
Whether the party is to be iubilant over
Gov. Harris diminished majority, or the
loss of four Congressman, isnot seth forth
in the bills. The whole, of course, to con
cludc with a National Salute from the
foot of Broad-street," as in honor of the
democratic victory in Virginia.

Washin gton Items.

Senator Trumbull is in town, for few
days, attending to lis duties as Chair
man of the Republican Campaign Docu-
ment Committee This body has been
quietly but industriously distributing am
munition over the Northern and North
western States this summer, in the shape
of tracts on the slave trade, Homestead
bill, contract frauds, Pacific railway, &c.
Senator Trumbull is one of the most
energetic men in the party, and his infiu-
ence is more dreaded in Illinois than that
of Lincoln.
Friends of Douglas are now pretending
that all Northern democrats are for him
for President, hoping thereby to intlu-
cnce the South To the same end they
also represent that All. Stephens, oil
Georgia, will run on the same ticket as
Vice President: that Senators Brown of
Mississippi, and, Green of Missouri are
for him; and also that the whole South
are anxious, to support him on the ground
that he is the only democrat who can
carry Northern States enough to help the
South elect. II is trick too transparent
to deceive any one.

Athens.

While we are sorry to learn that there
is an unusual amount of sickness in scve-
raj of the neighboring towns and villages,
we are able to say that Athens continues
remarkably healthy. Numbering at this
time some twelve hundred inhabitants,
we do not think there is Single case of
sickness in the place-at least, we Know
of none. OF course, the exemption which
Athens enjoys from the fevers and dis
eases that afflict most towns at this sea-
son, is attributable to its Multiplication,
and to the pure and excellent quality of
the water here so abundant. These adj
yantages Athens possesses in as high de-
gree as any town in the State.

Writing for the Press

There is no class Of people more frequent
ly sneered at than editors. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to charge them
with be ing mercenary; to say that such
and such an article was paid for; that any
body can have anything praised or abused
in a paper,,i he will pay for it; and, says
a wiseacre, every-now then, If had a
newspaper here, wouldn't ! pitch into
this or that, and wouldn't | show the
people what an independent paper is?'-
WE'LL my friend and pither why not es-
tablish paper and pitch into everything
and every body? Nobody can object to
your doing so. The papers that are in
the habit of pitching into everything are
the easiest edited in the world. 1t is
only well-practiced and matured editors
that possess that wisdom and true indie
pendence which consists in refusing to
pitch in;' that manliness which can
withstand a public clamor, that can scorn
personalities, and that can treat public
questions with the dignity and sobcrness
that can alone secure respect for the
press.

Athens Female College.

The Session commencing on the Goth
ultimo opened, we are gratified to learn,
unde" very favorable auspices. A large
number of pupils were in attendance the
first day, and others are continually ar
irving from the ncighboring country and
from abroad. The capacity and devotion
which the President and his Assistants are
giving to their duties, heaithincss of ieca-

place Athens Female College among the
most popular and ilourishing educational
institutions in the South.

Dpl6llars year through the eleven
years we have been publishing the Post
making an aggregate of nearly seven thou
sand dollars Now that is pretty con-
siderable sum-or would be, if we had it.
Most of these losses have been through
men who were able to pay, but who fail
ed to do so, some by neglect, and others
from worse motive. A few may yet pay,
the majority we know will not-but to
give them chance, we will as soon as we
can 90 over our books publish a list Of all
who have been subscribers and whose pa
pers have been discontinued without ar
rearages being paid, with the amount each
owes: and they can then send the money
or let it alone, just as they please.
To guard against such losses in future,
and which. we should not be expected to
incur, we are determined to pay no atten-
ton to orders for papers unless accompa-
MED by the money. come from what
source they may And all advertising and
Jobs must be paid for when the work is
done. In conclusion, we thank those who
have given us substantial encouragement,

est and pleasure to continue their patron

If you intend to pay us say so, and if
you don't say 81, and let us strike your
names off If you are not able to pay
just let us know it and we will not expect
anything from you, because we know
from sad experience how poor devil
feels that is not able to pay money when
he owes it, and we will never dun such
when we know it, Butye rich ones who
have the money in your pocket and
wont pay. 1t is you we are after; and we
intend to keep after you until you fork
over, and you had just as well remit us the
money by next mail, for.we will stick to
you with the tenacity of leach until you
do pay.

resulted in the death of two Brothers, of
the name of Jack and Gus Roberts, each
by the hand of the other! Between these
two brothers feud had, for some time
previous, existed, about a peice of land,
and wien they met yesterday, for the
purpose, with others, of working on the
public road, an alteration arose and one
OF them drew a pistol and shot the other,
when the latter, in the act of falling dead,
fired at the former and shot him in the
breast, killing him instantly! We have

SENATOR DorGLAs.-Thc name OF tins
gentleman continues to occupy. Lrom-
ncnt place in the public journals, North
and South, East and West. This is very
much to be regretted, "a 1t Is well calcu-
lated to inspire him with sense OF self
importance, which he has for long time
possessed in high degree. We have
again and again expressed our condcm-
nation of the course OF this gentleman in
the late Congress, in reference to the nd
mission of Kansas. His betrayal OF the
Democratic party in that contest is be-
You'd endurance. Had he and those whom
he controlled, stood firm by the admins
tation, Kansas would have been admitted
under the Bill of the Senate and the con-
troversy growing out of that vexed ques-
ton would now be at an end. Joining
the Black Republicans in this controversy,
he forced the friends of the administra-
ton, to submit to compromise which is
highly unsatisfactory to the South. The
leading Democratic papers in Virginia
have taken position in favor of restoring
Mr.. Douglas to his former rank in the
Democratic family. We are somewhat
surprised to find the Augusta Constitu-
tionalist, looking in the same direction.

IT WoN'T TAKE.--The Edgefeld Is. C.)
Advertiser, an influential democratic C)
journal, is seeking to impose Senator
Douglas upon the people of that State, AZ
not a very improper man for their sup
port for the Presidency. The Advertiser
will find it an uphill business to indoctri-
nate the democracy of Sonth Carolina or
of any other Southern State, into tho
support of the revolutionary squatter
sovereignty and anti-southern heresies of
Mr.. Douglas. The democracy of the
South is not yet prepared to trample the
Constitution, their-rights, and the honor
of the country under their feet, that
Senator Douglas, traitor to their cause
and their section, and the Union, and the
worst of abolitionists, may be lifted to tho
height of his vanity and ambition. 1t

THE CHARGE ADMIrTED.-During the re-

that Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia, was respon-
sible for the defeat of the Post office ap-
preparation bill. The democracy denied
the charge, and endeavored to fix the
offence upon Opposition members of Con-
gress. The truth is at last admitted by
Mr.. Toombs himself. He assumes the
responsibility like man. In his recent
speech at Lexington, as sketched in the
Augusta Dispatch of the 30th ult., we
find the following:
He reviewed the Postal appropriation
bill; HAD TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY or Kill

donations, for the erection of fine Post

1IoRTIcuLTURAL DIscovERy.--A friend of
ours, says the Nevada (Cal.) Democrat,
who has devoted much of his time for
the past three years to horticulture, has
recently discovered two etfectual methods
to kill the borers that are so destructive
to fruit trees in this country. The first is
70 sprinkle quantity of salt around the
tree, then pour on water so that the salt
will penetrate to the roots. The other
remedy is to pour about pint of nitric
acid around the roots of the tree. Either
of these remedies will kill the borers-
also, kill trees, as our friend has learned
to his cost. Fifty or sixty thrifty fruit
trees which he had in the early part OF
the season, have been sared from the
borers by the judicious application of nj
trio acid and salt, and are now standing
monuments of the great value of the dis
covery.
