No QUARTER FOR THE SouArrERs.-
followers of Douglas have been counting
on large aid from Georgia for the Little
Giant, but the sequel proves that they
counted without their host When Cobb,
Toombs and 1verson all turned their
batteries against the SqHatter banditti,
none were left to sing psalms to Doug
las, but poor little Aleck Stephens and
his pipers, who had been ca jolcd with
the idea that he was to be nominated by
the Doug1asites,if their first man failed;
but little Aleek" is nowhere amidst the
storm now raging in that State. As
soon as the withdrawal of the Southern
delegations was announced, by tele-
graph, salutes were fired at Columbus.
Savannah, ,Waynesboro, and other places.
The Savannah Democrats have held a
meeting and unanimously approved the
seeding movement. Ex-Governor King,
OF Missouri, (who was run from this
section of the South for forgery, at an
early day, and was afterwards a Benton
Freesoiler, in Missouri and Flournoy,
of Arkansas, made speeches to the for
lorn Douglasitcs in Augusta, on their
way westward; but their counscls were
spurned by all loyal Democrats. Tho

MODE OF RESTORING DAMAGED VELVET.
The Monltor de Ia Salud publishes the
following method of restoring velvet to
its original condition. 1t is we'll known
that when velvet has been wet, not only
its appearance is spoiled, but it becomes
hard and knotty TO restore it's origi-
nal softness, it must be thoroughly
damped On the wrong side, and then
held over a very hot iron, care being
taken not to let it touch the latter. In
a short time the velvet becomes. as il
were, new again. The theory of this is
very simple. The heat of the iron eyap.
crates the water through the tissue, and
forces the vapor out at the upper side;
this vapor, passing between the differ
ent flbres, separates those which adhere
together in hard lunches. If the velvet
were ironed after dampening, an ex-
actly opposite result would be obtained;
1t is, therefore, necessary that the SUBJ
stance should not come in contact with
the heated iron. ~- z-

TO COTTON PLANTERS.

I HAVE bought the patent of Messrs. W. T. &
L G. ]. Provosts Iron Screw and LIE.
yer Press, for the Parishes Of East and WesI
Felicana and Pointe Coupee. This press is now
ahead of all others in use, for durability econo,
my, strength, &c.; and it is the same that took the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair, in 1858.
The sale of the patent of this celebrated Press
for the different counties in the Southern States
has been unprecedented; and it is generally pre-
dleted that in few years, they will supcreede
all other cotton Presses known
A word as to the cost of these presses: IT has
been proven beyond the least possibility of a
doubt, that there has never been a Press invented
that can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness Therefore, if there is anything in economy.
they must certainly find great favor with the cot
ton planting portion Of our community. They
seldom get out OF repair, are easily fixed, and
taxing all things Into consideration. no Press
has ever been thoughtof by any mechanic. that
Is destined to prove of SO great benefit to the
cotton PLANTER as "Provost's Iron Screw and I,e
yer Press"
In The language of the Mcssrs. Provost. ave
Claim Tor this Press many advantages over all
'ac fresses in use. The Press is well adapted TO
any style Of Gin House, as it can be worked in
OF out OF the lint room, taking up but little space
requires out little timber and must be durable
as all OF Its working parts are of iron of great
power, as Itcoinbines both the lever and the
screw; and 50 simple that the negroes can work
y with dispatch We can press any weight ofl
bales required with ease.''
As It Is s more easy to convince persons of the
superiority Of this press BY showing il in fnll

and power. | found also that Judge
Douglas Was IN opposition to almost the
entire Democratic majority Of the Senate
of the United States. No matter who
is right and who is wrong, it is not a
| pleasant position for Il candidate Of the
Democratic party. found him opposed
to very large ma ajority Of the Demo
cratic members of the House of Repre-
sentatves. 1t is doubtless all wrong
that this should be so, vet so it is. /
have heard that the Sweetest wine
makes the sourest vinegar but | never
heard OF vinegar sour enough to make
sweet wine. Cold apathy and violent
opposition are not the prolific parents
OF votes. | found, worse than all for
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
that the Clerk of the Black Republican,
House of Representatives was openly
quoted as saying that the influential
paper controlled by him would either
support Douglas or Seward, thus max
ing himself apparently an unpleasant
connecting link between them.
With these facts before me, and i'm
pressing upon me the conviction that
the nomination of Judge Douglas would
not be made with any hope of safety to
the Democratic party, what was l to do?
will tell you what | did do, and | am
afraid it is not what l ought to have
done. Yielding to your preference l
voted seven times for Judge Douglas,
although my Judgment told me that my
votes were worse than useless, as they
gave him an appearance of strength in
the Convention which I felt he had not,
in fact, in the Democratic party. If this
was an error it was your fault. | then
looked around to throw my vote where,
at least, it should mislead no one. I
saw statesman Of national fame and
reputation, who had led his regiment to
victory at Buena Vista-a Democrat,
with. whom disagreed in some things,
but with whom l could act in most.
Loving his country first, his section
next, but just to all; so that through
his endeavor in the Senate of the United
States, Massachusetts obtained from the
General Government her just dues, de-
terred forty years, of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, feat which none of her
agents had been able heretofore to ac-
complish. Besides, his friends were not
pressing his name before the Conven-
tlon, SO that Ire was not partizan in
the personal strife then going on. /
thought such man deserved, at least,
the poor compliment of a vote from Mas
sachusetts; and, therefore, I threw my
vote for Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
and claim at least that vote was guided
by intelligence"
