The pemocratIc NolninatIen..

The Democratic County Convention will
lie held on Tuesday. The officers to be elected
this fall are Sheriff Clerk of Court, Judge of
Probate, Auditor, Prosecuting-Attorne
County Commissioner, besides the Congress
men. These county Offices are rather mag
ni6cent in the way of pay, and should COM
mAnd the highest capacity; while in unscru-
paious bands they afford great opportunities
for public plunder. This county election is
vastly more important to the people of
Hamilton County than the election of Presi-
dent
The Enquirer says that if the Democratic
Convention puts forward weak and in
competent ticket il will surely be beaten.
That, we take it, is the happiest condition of
parties that can be expected. We would be
glad If no party could ever carry weak
and incompetent nomination. Inasmuch as
it is announced on high authority that none
but the best men can succeed, we hope to see
the Democratic Convention put forwsrd men
ofsuch character as will command the con-
fdence Of the community. For our part,
although we do not meddle with party nomi-
nations and may not with party elections
where there is nothing but party to make
any choice between candidates, yet we shall
use our humble efforts against the election o.
spy candidates of either party, whom We
may regard unfit and against the continue
ioo of any known abuses of Office.

Our Lnst sIeepIng-Plnce.

The Chicago (lll.) journal observes;
az feel the daisies gro wing over me-" said
the dying poet and solemn yet beautiful was
the thought.
To mingle thus with Nature in her sweet
est forms of life, is not to die; it is as if the
passing of the soul through vestibule of
June's own building, on, to the inner gates
of Paradise.
To be waited to the air on the crimson
wings of fire; to leave little dust for token,
in the bottom of an urn, is not like lying, a
weary child at rest close folded in the bosom
of the earth.
To lie beneath a billowed maple on hill
side, green and sloping to the sun, with birds
o singing in the boughs, and threshold flowers
softtolling in the air, is no unpleasant thought.
The fever of the world all past, its strifes all
drifted over, even as the cloud that sheds a
shadow on the spangled heap, and passes on
forever.
To turn immortal with the Arctic touch,
and wear the seamless robe of winter for a
shroud; to have the tear that parting wrings
from trembling Nature, lie, like an imperish-
able jewel on the cheek of DEATH has little
charm.
To be let gently down, some pleasant
summers night, into the cleft crystal of q
lake, to ones last sleep, would not be to bid
the light " good by" For there, as if in the
lower sphere of the finished HedUen, the form
should lie, among the doubles of the stars
and the shimmering of the moon. The dawn
should redden there, and the great sun move
quenchless through the waters it would not
be beyond the flight of day-that burial
| place, and yet below the storm, that wrecks
| both sea and sky.

Fair Advertising.

The National Fair is usually accompanied
by a swarm of speculators of various sorts,
who live chiefly by their wits. One of these
operations is the printing of advertising
st>aets during the fair, with pretensions of
inv osing magnitude, all of which depend on
whether enough advertisements can be
gathered of the unsophisticated, to make it
pay to print the paper. Some of these
schemes pretend that the officers of the fair
are connected with them.
1t would seem almost unnecessary to say
that none of the officers of the Society are in
sny way responsible for these projects.
Persons who pay for such advertising, cast
their bread upon very uncertain waters, and
trust more TO luck than is safe for
. sharp man. Yetwe presume that many Of
the exhibitors aud of our own citizens, who
rarely venture an advertisement in the reg.
uiar papers, will invest in these schemes
without rejecting that the circulation o
somo of the city papers is three or four times
as great as any probable issue of any of these
transient sheets.
Knowing some thing about the machinery
required merely to circulate paper largely,
we can say that there is no probability that
any transient paper can reach within 10000
of the regular circulation of the DAILY Press,
while the extra numbers which we shall cir
oulate during the Fair, viii probNbly equal
any number of any transient paper that can
be properly distributed

Ikernture and whisky inspection.

The Enquirer grumbles at the appointment
Of Whisky inspectors. The grounds upon
which IL grounds its grounds of complaint
arc that majority Of them are Republicans,
che minority an American, and that the
Democrats have no representation in the in
spectorship; also that r. Delavan Mussey, Of
the Gazette editorial staff, is one Of the new
Tngpectors. The Enquirer says that with one
exception every single Whisky Inspector is
political Lincoln worshiper, and swears by |
Lincoln and John Brown, and takes his text
from the Republican Platform. We are unable |
to see how this incapacitates these gentlemen |
for inspecting whisky. According to the
correspondent Of Che Commercial ION the cir
cult Of the Conventions" the consumption Of
whisky at the construction of the Chicago
Platform, showed that the ancient Demo-
cratic mantle had descended on the Republi-
can party.
These appointments, whatever their COM
plexion, are the fruits Of the Ferguson Bill,
a measure very vigorously pushed by the
united Democratic delegation from Hamilton
County, and certainly Democratic journal
should not complain. AS to the appoint
ment Of q gentleman of the editorial pro-
Fession 70 the Office Of Whisky Inspector, it
strikes us ss one eninently fit to be made.
The EnqRrer seems to apprehend that DEM
ocratic whisky will not be guarded from
strychnine and other adulterations. If there
were any reasonable ground for this, the
apprehension would be natural; but little
reflection on the impossibility of drawing
party lines in whisky will quiet any such
aiarm.
The Literary profession is closely allied to
spurious beverages 1t is sufficient merely
to allude TO the long line of illustrious writers
who have refreshed their inspiration from
the convivial bowl, and even Holmes speaks
of a bowl Of punch as necessary accom-
J,aDiment to circle of friends. 1t seems to
us that this appointment places literary
man in acongenial position, and is eminently
the right man in the right place. Besides,
n. Delavan Mussey adds TO his other distinc-
tions that Of General of the Wide Awakes,
whose emblem is an eye very wide open.
The emblem Of the whisky retailers is a
similar eye, Of red hue, showing close re-
Iation between the two and still further
proving toe fitness Of the appointment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE STEAM CARRIAGE OF
EARL CAITHNEss.-The steam carriage in
which the Earl of Caithness has been travel
ing in Scotland, has in front all the appear
ance of an ordinary open carriage which
can be covered when required. It is mounted
on three wheels much after the fashion of a
perambulator, the front or guiding wheel
being fitted on pivot below the body of the
carriage, so as to be turned by the steering
handlei in the direction required. The wheels
are of small diameter, and in width of rim
are fully double those of ordinary carriages
The boiler and engine are behind, with seat
for the stoker, whose occupation is not much
more cleanly than that of stokers in general.
The boiler may contain from sixty to seventy
gallons of water, and requires to be replen-
ished every hour, or at about every ten miles
distance, as the consumption of water is
about gallon per minute on an average.
The engine is nine-horse power, and is so
constructed that the boiler and engine to-
gether occupy very small space, only about
five feet or so of the length of the carriage
being thus taken up. The cost Of the whole
is about f200. The consumption of coal is
quite small, about eight pounds per mile.
No hindrance is experienced, as was antici-
pated from the frightening of horses when
passing so unusual vehicle. The fire is
entirely concealed from the view of an animal
approaching in front, and the top of the
smoke-funnel only rises little above the
heads of those seated in the carriage, and is
not by any means a source Of terror to our
country nags. ..... .-

Hon. A. u. stephens,s speech.

N-'Il' - n '5tVE"VIl8 , sWVINW'" .
AUGUSTA, GA. September IAN immense
audience of ladies and gentlemen assembled
at the City Hall Park to-day, to hear the
Hon. A. II. Stephens speak. Mr.. Stephens
said he was for Douglas and johnson the
regular nominees, whether Douglas received
two thirds Of the Electoral vote or not, ac-
cording to the usages of the party. he received
two-thirds vote of the Convention and he,
(Stephens) supported the time-honored plat
form of ofnon-intervention; the only principle
that can preserve the Union. The objections
urged against Douglas were, that he refused
to say it was the duty Of Congress to do what
they would not do themselves. Douglas re-
fused to say it was the duty of Congress to
pass laws to protect slavery in the Territories,
hence they oppose him.

A suspicious-looking fast-sailing brig, hav-
ing on board large quantity of rice and
lumber, besides water-casks beyond the Or

Brooklyn, on Friday last. 1t is reported
that she took her departure for the coast OF
western shores of the Atlantic with cargo
of negroes. Rumor adds that two or three
other brigs and bars have recently hauled
out from the same rendezvous, and proceeded
on similar yoyapes.

SOMETHING ABOUT BERTANI.-People are
wondering who Bertani is ever since the
papers announced that in consequence of his
mission, Austria had made hostile demon
stration against Piedmont. Bertani, then, is
a Genoese physician, and Garibaldis inti-
mate friend and lieutenant. He was left
behind at Genoa to forward recruits and
munitions of wal, and all the re-enforcements,
by the aid of which Garibaldi has been ena-
bled to prosecute the war so vigorously, have
been supplied by Bertani. He is, moreover,
a diplomat Of the first order, and through
him Garibaldi has corresponded with King
Victor Emmanuel. Hence the threatening
attitude of Austria. II is said that Bertani
left Genoa on the night of the 9th ult, with
one of the last expeditions of the Dictator,
whose army now numbers 10000 men. To
meet this force Francis II can muster 80, 900;
but it is supposed that only foreign mer-
cenaries, (Swiss and Austrian) numbering
in all about $1,000 troops, will remain loyal
to the king.

GARIBALDI's SOLDIER Monk AT MELAzzo.-
The following we clip from the letter of an
American in Italy, published in an Eastern
exchange:
The renowned Father Giovanni, Garibal-
dis soldier-monk, displayed great courage at
the battle of Melazzo. Unarmed, only bear
ing the cross in his hand, he ran along the
ranks, cheering and animating the volun-
teers to the fight, constantly shouting to
them, Fear not, God is on our sidel Mark /
/, his minister, am the foremost to expose
myself to the grapeshot and the volley of
musketry, yet remain unscathed. Charge,
Italians, charge !" And still, as he shouted,
he waved aloft the cross. Setting them this
example, and repeating aloud passages from
Scripture, he cheered on the soldiers TO some
purpose, it must be owned, as by their in
domitable courage they carried the strong
position of Melazzo.

NEW COINAGE MACHINERY IN ENGLAND
Some new and ingenious machinery has been
constructed, in order to produce the new
coinage of a bronze alloy, issued by the
British Government. The pair of engines
employed are upon an improved direct action
principle, and of ffty-horse power. The
frames are vertical instead of horizontal, it
being supposed that strength and some other
advantages are thus gained. The cylinders
are of twenty inches diameter, the stroke
being four feet. The fy-wheel has diame-
ter of eighteen feet, and weighs thirteen
tuns; and the engines being intended to
make from thirty-six to forty revolutions
minute, the wheel will be speeded to sixty
revolutions. The power will be given off
from the axle close to the fy-wheel, so that
little or no checking strain shall fall upon
the engines. The two boilers are each twenty
feet long and five feet six inches in diameter,
with two-feet-nine-inch circular fue, fitted
for firing at each end, SO as to insure more
rapid production of steam, and an almost
complete burning of smoke.

= THE NAVAL FoRcE OF FRANCE AND En-
eLAND.-A writer In the Consfiftitionnel shows
that while, in 1859 France spent l250000 900
francs on her navy, England spent 294000,-
600; and that, in 1850, France spent l24, 0O0,-
900, and England spent 320,500,000 francs.
On the lst of August inst, England bad 63
steamships Of the line, a. steam-frigates, and
36s smaller steam vessels-making total of
400. France had only total of26s, Of which
30 were ships of the line 39 frigates, and l93
sailing war-vessels Of all sizes, and France
only l24. Furthermore, there are probably
ten times as many vessels building on the
English stocks as on the French stocks. II
would appear from this that the English
clamor about the "immense naval prepara-
tions of France" is very absurd.

A correspondent of the Baptist Wdtehman
and Reflector, from Cincinnati, Writing Of the
summer desertion of the churches by the
pastors, says -. i.
''Many Of the churches are closed for the
summer; those open are thinly attendeo,
while the 'summer-gardens aretull ana the
street-cors do thriving business on SUM-
days. Perhaps this is altogether right
but provokes an inquiry that will not now

We have never heard that the devil aban-
doned his post during the warm season, or
ceased his harvest of souls, or that he ever
manifested any taste for the springs, OF for
sea-bathing. The only instance that we
have inScripture ofhis taking to the sea, was
when he entered the swine and was carried
in with them, and we have reason to suppose
that then it was against his will. If, as we
are credibly informed, it requires all the
energies of our clergymen to prevent his
prevailing over mankind, how he must be
gathering them into his net during the sum-
mer absence of the clergyl How sad it is to
think that the harvest-time should also be
the time of the devils harvest of soulsl
But there is one defender of mankind that
never abandons its post. The SUNDAY Press
defes the devil in summers heat or winters
cold. 1t was undoubtedly the confidence
that the clergy of this city felt that their
flocks would be safe under the protection Of
the PRESS that permitted them to leave their
post on the battlements for while, to recruit
nature, exhausted by the labors cf a long
siege. We shall continue to maintain the
breach with "our four-cylinder" against the
devil and all his works, until our "brave as
sociates,' the partners of our toll our feel
ings and our fame" return to our assist.
