UNION IN GEoRGIA-The tone of the
press in our sister State Indicates that there
will probably be a union of all parties, CON
sentinG and agreeing to form an electoral tick
ct out of the three tickets now before her peo
pie, to be voted for irrespective of party. If
this should be impracticable at this late dnv
it is proposed to pledge the successful candi-
dates to cast the vote for that candidate for
the Presidency, who may be most likely to
defeat the election of Lincoln.
n series of resolutions to this effect, was
offered at a public meeting at Atlanta, at
which leading men from the three parties
were present They were adopted with but
two dissenting votes. The response of the
press of all parties, seems to be favorable to
the proposition.
James Gardner Esq. of the Augusta Con-
stitutionalist and one of the Douglas Exccu-
tive Committee, in reply to sundry letters,
published a note from which we make the fol-
lowing extract
My suggestion is, that the members of the
Executive committees of the three parties in
Georgia, meet at Atlanta next Monday, the
Z9th inst, and there agree upon one eecto-
raj ticket, and present it to the people for
their unanimous approva!--the electors to be
! empowered to cast the ten votes of Georgia
IN the way most effectual to defeat Lincoln
whether they be given to Mr. Bell, Mr.. Brock
inridge, or Judge Douglas.
L further suggest that the electors on the
three tickets now before the people, be also
there to unite in consultation.
Those who cannot attend in person, can
signify their views in writing to their associ-
ates, and thus may be obtained as full an ex-
preston of sentiment, on the proposed union
of parties, as the exgency will allow,

AFFRAY AT TRINITY CbLLEoE A shoot
ing affray occurred at Trinity College, Hart
ford, on Thursday, which created some ex-
citement. The Times gives the history of
the otTray as follows:
Trinity of late years has had the initia-
tory proceedings in full force. The class
was put though at Odd Fellows Hall some
days since But three students declined the
honor ofbeing done for Subsequently one
of them was taken to Zons Hill Cemctry
and lashed to grave stone. He represented
Patience on Monument till late ut night,
when one OF his class appeared, and cut him
loose Another was forced into carriage
and taken two or three miles away and slung,
with rope under his arms, into an old we'll,
and there left suspended One more re-
maned-Preston Davis Sill, of South Caro-
llna-a quiet poaceablc young man, who
would disturb no one, and who himself pre-
terrcd not to be disturbed or personally abused
Last evening carriage was provided, and Sill
was seized in the College yard by two stu
DENTS others being nearato assist, and they
attempted to force him into the carriage
| Sill, fully conscious that he had harmed no
one, and being waylaid thus, with old wells
and tombstones in prospect drew an Aliens
| revolver and fired upon his assailants. In
the tussle the shot missed. The Faculty
were reused, the assailants disappeared, and
MIR. Sill was conducted into the College.
BLOODY AFFRAY IN ARKANsAs.-VAN BU-
REN, ARKANSAS, Oct. 13.-During reei-
mental muster here to-day, Rufus and Jack
son Covington, and son of the latter, were
killed by Silas and Benjamin Edwards, and
several others were wounded. The ARRAY was
the result of an old feud between the fami-
lies. The Edwards, being the aggressors,
were arrested, and the crowd manifested dS.
position to lynch them. 1t is feared that thew
may yet succeed.
A Slight MISTAKE, "A few days ago
physician of Ncwberryport, Mass, who, says
the Herald of that city, is so much like the
City Clerk, that few people can tell one broth
er from the t'oher," was called upon bya
young gentleman with fair damset on his
arm, who was all smiles and bushes, to OBJ,
