Correspondence of the Daily Progress

1RENION, N. u, May 1U, IoOU.
Dear PROGRESS The young ladies and gentle
men of Trenton had grand time of it Satur-
day last, at picnic that came off on the Eastern
bank of the old river Trent, just above Trenton
Having been requested to attend by the managers
and see the fun, concluded that would go and
see what kind of ixings, and how they en-
joying themselves and that | would plead bus-
ness engagements for the balance of the day in
order to get excused. But my arrival was as
tonished to see such a large crowd of ladies and
gentlemen. It seemed as if each one striving
to make the time and place comfortable he
could. I Immediately gave up all thoughts of
returning until the crowd left. Everything
around looked beautiful it seemed as though ma
ture had designed this very place purposely for
this occasion. On every side could be seen the
bright and lovely flowers of Spring with beauti-
full shade trees. which were covered with vines,
and thick foliage which completely shielded US
from the suns rays Under a cluster of these was
spread dinner which would have been consid-
cred an ornament in any vicinity. Cakes, pies,
and meats of every kind, together with fruits and
candies, which eaten with pleasure, and
everything passed off agreeaby. 1t was quite
amusing to see the old bachelors and widowers-
how polite and how useful they tried to make
themselves among the ladies. We had near fifty
at the table at one time. and two thirds of them
were ladies. Such array of beauty and smiles
as this enough to have stolen the heart of the
most inveterate old batchelor. No matter how
strong he had imagined that he had fortified him
self against love and matrimony he must have
give up that the citadel had been taken and that
by storm.
The dram drinkers had also kind of May
frohc in Trenton; real punch froic, which was
nothing more than a two bushel tub of punch,
which started some of them to believe that they
had the best crap In the country considering the
season while others thought that they could out
run and out box anything for quarter of dollar
that could be started, while few were unable to
While the more temperate portions enjoyed them
selves by looking on.

GEORGIA DEMoCRACY.-1t is proposed by a
portion of the democratic party in Georgia that
another State Convention be held at Milledgeville
the 4th of June to deliberate and determine
whether that State shall send delegates to Bati-
more or Richmond. If such States AS Georgia
send delegates to the secession concave in Rich
mond the democratic party is gone and resur-
recting hand ever raise it again. If any con-
siderable portion of the Southern States send dele
gates to Richmond, and refuse to go into the Bal
timore Convention, then indeed will the glory and
power of the great national dem ocracy have de-
parted. Traitors hands Virginias soil will
consumate the work, and the democratic party of
this country, once so powerful, SO loyal and so
free, will only be remembered in name, and ere
another four years shall have passed away the
government with all its machinery will have be-
come thoroughly abolitionized And for it patriot

The slavery agitation is just commencing in
Congress The following occurs in the synopsis
of Thurday's proceedings:
Mr.. Grow reported five bills for the erection of
Territorial governments, with the Wilmont Pro-
viso in each.
Amendments protecting slavery were offered
to them, but the consideration was postpaned.
Now here is food for thought and fuel to feed
the flames, and we may reasonably expect that
the remainder of the session will be consumed in
long -winded speeches on this miserable abstrac-
ton. Give peace on the nigger question or let

MosELY HALL, May 5th 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR: Dear SIR In my last communioa
ton promised to write you the first new subscriber
could obtain for the Progress, and as have been
| lucky enough to find the man that had one dollar
and fifty cents to invest in good paper, will re-
deem my promise.
The weather has been exceedingly cold in this To-
caty for several days past and all kinds of vege-
| tation looks dropping and backward The weather
the prospects of crops, the stand of cotton &C. an
pears to be the chief topic of conversation AMONG
farmers whilst loafers and politicians are engaged
in the discussion of Id Vdlorem and predicting the
| result of the next election.
The children of the Sabbath School of Kipston
accompanied by number of young ladies and gem
tlemen, and some of the old folks visited MoseIv
Hall on Wednesday, 2nd, May day, or cold day
excursion, and Notwithstanding the inclement and
disagreeable weather, the young folks appeared to
enjoy themselves finely. 1 noticed that Mr. Hays
Webb and other gentlemen were very attentive in
looking after, and attending to the wants of the lit
tie folks and appeared to fully appreciate the inter-
est of the noble cause in which they Were engaged
Messrs. Gov. Ellis and Pool addressed the people
of Lemon County at Kinston to-day, but shall not
attempt to give synopsis of their speeches as you
had the opportunity of hearing them at Newbern
and can judge better than describe how they
acquitted themselves. I'D Valorene was ably dis
cussed by both candidates. 1 have heard many DO
htical speeches Mr. Editor, but never heard the
poor mans interest dwelt upon with much empha-
sis before.
The Democratic party of Lenoir held a meeting
at the Court House Knston, to- day, and nomina-
ted n. B. Whitfield for the Commons and also ap
pointed delegates to meet the delegates from Green
County IN Convention at Kinston on the 18th June
to nominate candidate for the Senate.
The opposition party about Kinston say Mr.. Pool
will make considerable gain in this County but
think the saying is only noise; however, as 1 am
political prophet, Will the votes until
the election. Friday after the first hursday in Au-
gust will send you the full returns from this Coun-
ty, and when you get them think you will be fully
convinced that large majority of the people of lie
noir satisfied with Gov. Ellis and the Constitu-
ton as it now stands. In my humble opinion our
Legislature body, has made poor use of what
power they already have, and think it bad policy
go to the expense of holding convention and run
the risk of tearing up the Constitution in order to
give the Legislature more power If we would send
some of our steady, wise, economical and best men,
let them be of what party section they may to
fill the places of few rowdies and fOps that
have disgraced the last few sess ions of Legsla
ture, think should gain more than we will by
being gulled by asprants for offices into an altera-
tion of the Constitution, running crazy about po
litical humbugs.

Some writer speaking OF the training of chill
dren lays down the following:
voted to the education of the heart-to the forma
ton of principles rather than to what is usually
termed knowledge. Nature herself points out such
a course; for emotions are then liveliest, aud most
easily moulded, being as yet unalloyed by passion.

the actions of the immense majority are under all
circumstances determined much more by feeling
than by reflection IN truth life presents infinity
of occasions where tits essential to happiness that
should feel rightly very few where is all necessa

Up to the seventh year of life, very great
changes going on in the structure of the brain,
and demand, therefore, the utmost attention not to
interrupt them by improper Or overe1citement.
that degree of exercise should be given to the

period of life special attention should be given both
by parents and teachers to the physical development

Only think of it-six dollars and half the hun
dred for six months. just think of it, ye venerable
individuals who cling to venerable institutions and
stand aloof from every new enterprise. Bank of

think SO.
