Mr.. Douglas for Lincoln

The New York Herald charges that the
course which Mr.. Douglas has seen fit to
pursue in the present campaign has been fol-
lowed not SO much for the purpose of defeating
Lincoln as to destroy the Breckinridge Demo-
cracy. There is no doubt that Mr. Douglas
choice for the Presidency, after himself, is
Abraham Lincoln; and as there is not the
remotest chance for the election of Mr. Doug
las--a fact no one is better aware of than Mr.
D. himself-he might as well come out openly
for Lincoln as to continue his present plan of
operations. The Herald says of him
" 1t must be conceded that the stumping
tour Of Mr.. Douglas, now drawing to close
in the West, has betrayed his object to be not
so much the defeat of Lincoln as the prostrs-
ton Of the Breckinrdge- Democracy. Thus
while he has lnstigated the nomination of in
dependent Douglas electoral tickets in some of
the Southern States, the only effect Of which
if they have any effect at all, will be to divert
the vote of those States from Breckenridge to
Bell, we find Mr.. Douglas at every point the
persistent enemy OF any coalition with the
Breckenridge Democracy in the North-a
yss@-1n1ivhS0 uf' Saa Quay result IN Inc
election Of Lincoln by the solid electoral vote
of the Northern States.
"The plea of Mr.. Douglas in support Of this
singular course on his part is, that the Southern
Breckenridge Democracy are scheming and
reckless disunionists, and that the defeat Of
their candidate, therefore, is as essential to
the peace of the country as the defeat of
Lincoln. But as Lincoln cannot be defeated
except through the assistance of the Northern
Breckenridge Democracy, Mr.. Douglas, in re-
pudiating this assistance, is simply laboring to
elect Lincoln. This can hardly be doubted
when it is considered that in no possible event
can Mr.. Douglas, or Mr.. johnson, in the
settlement of this imbroglio. become tho next
President of the United States.'

For the rMssassiRpi'a''
Historical Chart.

This Chart is the product of the careful and
copiouS reading, the accurate reflection and
diligent research of Mrs. Mary w. B. Hicks;
and the work exhibits a judicious selection
and instructive collation. Of significant facts.
This Chart is not intended to teach history,
hut to aid in directing the learners attention
to, and in fixing in his memory, those promi-
nent events which are at once the summation
of antecedent forces, and the sources from
which subsequent influences go forth upon
their missions of injury or benefcence and for
the attainment Of these ends, it will be found
largely helpful. For purposes of reference
this Chart is all that convenience, could desire
or exactness demand.
The great periods of British History are
clearly defined, and the characteristic occur
rences of each distinctly marked in their chro-
biological order; and this, too, without incum-
bering the work with unretainable details; thus
making it available alike for the school room,
the office, and the parlor.
In studying physical geography more is ac
quired by learning the extent and direction Of
mountain chains, the course of rivers, &c,
than by seeking to burden the mind with to
biographical lninutia. In like manner, in the
study of history, the principal facts should
mainly challenge consideration. These are
the mountain chains of the historical cosmos;
each peak of which tells of the explosive en-
ergy of the forces that have been operative in
the heart of society, and from these flow the
streams that irrigate the social soil, causing it
to bring forth the fruits and flowers OF true
civilization and real refinement, or the nox-
ious weeds Of false and corrupt politeness.
| will only add, that, by whomsoever it is
desired thus to study history, the Chart Of
Mrs. Hicks will be found valuable assistant

CURIOUS WILL OF SOUTHERN PLANTER-
46action for Dog-The following extraor-
binary story is in circulation. An aged gen.
tlcman, planter in one of the Southern States,
has just died, leaving fortune of 100000,
which is to be disposed of according TO the
provisions of his will and that document is as
follows:
Ibequeath all my effects to the children Of
my brother, on the following conditions: De-
sirous OF marking my sense Of the service
which my Newfoundland dog rendered me in
saving my life one day when was drowning,
and wishing also to provide for my house,
keeper, appoint my said housekeeper nurse,
tutor and mother to my dog. My natural heirs
shall, on this account, pay to her, out OF my
entire fortune, a daily sum in the following
manner: The daily payment shall continue SO
long as the dog shall live, but not one second
longer. During the first year after my decease,
or for so much of it as the dog shall live, my
housekeeper shall receive SIS day; the sec

| year SIS; and SO on until the death OF the dog

We Revere the Memory of John
Brown, of Ossawatomle.

The above was an inscription on a banner
in the procession Of Black Republicans at
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, Sep
tember e. At that Convention the Hons.
Thos. Corwin and B. F. Wade, Of Ohio, wore
speakers. Yet the South is told that there is
no danger from such party having control
of the Federal Government Was there ever
such an infatuation, in the history of man, as
now peryades large portion OF the North?
With every inducement that could or ought
to control human action to live at peace with
their brethren of the South, they are never
theless reckless in pushing matters to the last
extremity Of patriotic forbearance. And
what can Pittsburg expect from this hostility
to the South? Let any one see the steam
boats laden with her productions for Southern
markets, and the healthy, auimating, cheering
blessings to her industry and her people from
Southern trade annually, and say, is there
any wisdom in this warfare, which must end
in alienation between the sections, and utter
prostration and ruin to their interests? We
appeal to every rejecting, judicious, unpreju-
diced man in Pittsburg to say what would be
the condition Of that people if they were
suddenly deprivedof the trade they now have
with their brethren Of the South? And also
how long do they or can they expect to retain
it, when they revere the memory of those
who have murdered Southern citizens, and
would, if successful, have carried blood and
rapine to every Southern lireside and family
These are important questions, and are
worthy the serious attention Of the consider
ate men of all clsses and conditions. Mr..
CorWin, especiaslu, is considered i Conservative
in the ranks of the Black Republicans !; and
yet not one word of rebuke had he for this
incmdiary. sentiment.

LOST on LAST IsLAND.-The Civic Guard
gives the following confirmation of the rumor
that family had been lost on Last Island dur
ing the late storm:
We have Just learned from Mr.. Bowie, Of
this parish, that Mr.. Williams, his wife and
six Of his children, were drowned on Last Isl.
and during the late storm. Messrs. Bowie
and Michel searched for the bodies, and found
that Of Mr.. Williams, his wife and two Of the
children, which they buried. Mr.. Williams
was living on the island in the house of Mr..
Provost. Mr.. Bowie informed us that the
water must have been eight feet deep over the
island. Mr.. Blanchard saved himself in the
forks of small blackberry tree. 1t is said that
about fifteen persons were drowned on the
island. A fine schooner OF one Kindred and
thirty tons burden was blown on the island
ard lies high and dry. The beach was GOV.
cred with dead goats, cows, horses and chick
ems and some solubles came ashore in tot
damaged O state to be Of use.
The house of Mr.. n. Knight stood the lash
ings of the storm, showing that houses can b
built to stand the wind. This house, we un
derstand, was built to test the storms Of tn
island, and has stood, and is in no way in
jured.
