The Way it Was Done.

The Louisville journal says that, the in
teresting fact has been brought to light
that the Southern sectional ticket, Breck-
inridge and Lane, was agreed on, concoct-
cd, got up in South Carolina by the mas
ter spirits of disunion in that State in adj
vance of its nomination by the Secession
Convention at Baltimore and the Secs
sion Convention at Richmond. Brock
inridge and Lane were not thus taken be-
cause they had expressed disunion senti-
ments. If they had uttered such scnti-
ments, they would not, under all circum-
stances, have been so well adapted to the
end in view. That end was to get tick
et that, carrying the whole Southern Dis
union strength, which the leaders and the
managers felt themselves able to WELD
as they pleased, would divide the Demo
cratic strength in the non-slaveholding
States sufficiently to render certain the
election of Lincoln and thus furnish a
pretext for the dissolution of the Union.
They had sense enough to know, that n
ticket consisting of the names of two
avowed dsunionists would be utterly pow
erless in the North, that it would not
command any votes whatever in that sec
ton, and, that it would thus fail to bring
about the great, the sole purpose in view,
the division of the Northen Opposition
and the consequent concentration Of the
whole Northern electoral vote upon the
Abolition H'Mdida2
Thus RHp'kinridge and Lane were nomi-
mated, not because they were known to he
disunion>ts, but partly because they wero
not. The diSunionists took up candidates
not committed to disunion the better to
accomplish disunion purposes.
The leading fire. heaters feel themselves
secure of their rank and file in the South
and they are probably willing that theii
candidate shall play for votes in the North
and in Kentucky and Tennessee"
Position OF Hon. JAMES GuTnRIE.-The
Sunday Daily Advocate says: I'VE have
been informed by gentleman of high 20
sition, and whose statements no one car
doubt, that in recent interview with Mr.
Guthrie, he Mr.. Guthrie) stated that sooI
after the nomination of Mr.. Breckenridge
the editors of the Courier called on hin
and urged him to declare his appreciation
Of Mr.. Breckinridge's nomination anC
pledge himself to his support. To this 1t
replied emphatically, that he could no
support Mr.. Breckenridge, because by s,
doing he would be giving aid to the elec
ton of Lincoln"

Hoes COMING AND GoING.- Yesterday
morning our streets were invaded by an
army of fifteen hundred lean, hungry
hogs, all the way from Warren county,
Ky. They are seeking their way to John
son county, Indiana, to be fed and fatten-
ed for the pen.
In some districts the hogs are starving,
while in others they are being decmated
by hog cholera--especially in Cumberland,
Wayne, Clinton, and adjoining districts.
All these things are tending to shorten
the crop for packing" and advance the
prices. Louisville Ky Courier.

A BRECKINRIDGE MAN ENDORSING BOTH
BELL AND DouGLAs.-The Hon. John Kerr,
of NortlfCarolina, made speech at Rich
mond, Va, on the evening of the llth,
in which he declared it was ridiculous to
accuse John Bell of unsoundness on the
slavery question, and he asserted that it
would be folly for the Southern States to
secede from the Union in the event of
Lincoln's election.
Mr.. Kerr is a prominent Breckinridgcr.
The LAST TIoPE DEPARTED.-- 1t is said
that the post masters, route agents, and
| custom house collectors, are now leaving
Breckenridge by the dozen in the North.
By the time of the November election, he
will not be able to muster more than q
Corporal's guard of supporters in the free
States. The bread and butter allies of
the present administration will be look
ing out for new crumbs from the next.
GONE FOR BELL.-The Bainbridge Geor-
ian informs us that five democrats in
cambridge declared openly for Bell and
Everett last Saturday. Come on, ye men
who love the Union, and array yourself
yes under our banner! our principles are
the true ones, they will do TO live by,
and when invaded they will do to die by.
DsyHThe Douglas men explain the heavy
Republican majority in Maine by assert
ing that the Breckenridge men voted for
the Republicans. The Constitution, Mr..
Buchanan's organ, is very much pleased
with the result.

The Courier is Breckenridge paper.

nay There are two or three Breckin-
ridgers about here telling round that a
goodly number of opposition men in this
county will vote the Secession ticket
We must put veto on all such talk as
that, at once. We have had every Civil
District in the county polled, and there
is but one voter in all of them, acting
with the opposition for the last six years,
who declares an intention to vote for Mr.
Breckenridge. He is gentlemen of the
I'd district, who is strong on the niger
question, and says he will vote for Breck-
inridge because he believes he is for Dis
union.

Hon. II. w. HILLIARD.-This distin-
guished gentleman was delegate to the
Baltimore National Democratic Convcn-
ton. lie was a Breckenridge man until
his late visit to the North. His observa-
tons there led him to believe that there
is no chance for Mr.. Breckenridge. In q
patriotic letter addressed to Mr.. Fillmore,
he says:
at is clear that the conservative men
of the country are coming to the rescue,
and sectionalism will be rebuked, and the
movement in behalf OF the Union will
now acquire a resistless momentum.
I'VE both think, and every days events
must strengthen this opinion, that the
only hope Of defeating Mr.. Lincoln is to
conquer our prejudice, to disregard party
shackles, and to rally everywhere in sup
port of those eminent and conservative
statesmen whose claim upon our conf
dcnce does not rest upon their possession
of a creed, but upon the surer and better
basis of well defined character, of matured
wisdom, and great public services-John
Bell and Edward Everett"

Da5. The Washington correspondent of
the Charleston Courier, has the following
in his letter of the 5th instant:
1t is certain that Lincoln will be elect
ed President, and it is made certain by
New York Democratic leaders, aided by
the Federal officers on one side, and the
Lincoln predictions of the Douglasites
on the other.

THE BRECKENRIDGE PARTY DiSuNloNiSTs.
We believe that a trucr sentiment was
never uttered than the following which
was expressed by Judge Douglas in his
speech at Baltimore, and we commend it
to the consideration of the conservative
men of the country. Said Mr.. Douglas:
tell you, my fellow-citi2ens, believe
this Union is now in danger. In my opin-
ion there is mature plan throughout the
Southern States to break up the Union.
| believe the election Of Black Republi-
can is to be the signal for that attempt,
and that the leaders of the scheme desire
the election of Lincoln so as to have an
excuse for disunion. do not believe that
every Breckenridge man is disunionist,
but do believe that every disunonist in
America is Breckenridge man loud
cheers and hence | desire Major Breck-
nridge to answer specifically on this point,
whether or not he will enforce the laws OF
the land in the event of an attempt to Sc
cede or break up the Union? You have
right to have an answer from him on
that question.

Gen. Sam Houston.

We learn from Texas, that "Old Sam"
is out for Bell and Everett, intent and
earnest, and that he is now making such
an impression upon the Texan mind
that Texas will, in all probability, be add
ed to the Bell and Everett States.

How THEY DANCE AT WAsHINGroN.-An
Ohio editor gives his views of several dances
which he lately wlnesse at ball in Wash
ington. lie says "'Ihe want of variety in
this metropolitan dancing was, however,
f.lly made up 10y the fancy things, such as
the waltz and polka. These were absolutely
barbarous. The old fashioned waltz, the
morality of which even Byron called III
question, is here ignored as altogether to far
and distant. The lady lays her head on the
gentleman's bosom, puts one hand in his,
and the other in his coat tail pocket, and re-
signs herself to his embraces, and goes to
sleep, all but her feet, which, when not car
ried by him clear off the floor, 90 patting
around on the toes. The gentleman thus
entwined throws his head back and his eyes

dashes forward. and leaves the ring, to the
delight of all decent people.

experience in making Catawaba wine. II
give you the process of several successful at
tempts in making Catawaba wine There
can be made several brands of wine from the
Catawaba grape; the Still wine, Light Cata
waba and Sparkling Catawaba wines.-Ihe
first is made from full pressing of the fruit,
pure juice, without any suc'r added, it is an
acdulous wine not altogether paatable but
the favorite wine Of the lovers of Hook.
The Light Catawaba is an excellent liglA
dinner wine, mild, slightly stimulating and
pleasant; it is made as followsa, Pick your
grapes from the stems and hruise with the
hands, press not quite dry at the first press.
ing, take out the pomace and throw into a
tub, adding as much water as you have pure
pressed juice, give the p"mace a second
thorough pressing, and pour the mast into
clean casks, adding l 2 lbs. sugar to the
gallon, after fermentation, add l gill of
brandy to 5 gallons of wine, to keep from
acetic fermentation, and bung up tight, rack
off in mid winter, and You have all you can
desire for table wine. The third process is
somewhat different. Tie result of my ex-
periments in making Sparkling Catawaba, |
attribute more to good luck than skill, and
cannot give an assurance of success in all
cases.-l made good sparkling Ca'awaba
wine by taking the pure juice of the grape
Of the first pressing adding lbs. refined
sugar to the gallon and fermenting in cask,
rack off and bottle as soon as fermentation
ceases, cork, sea- and inv,rt the bottles i'm
media,ely. A bright sparkling wine was
the result, but had several bottles to burst.
The Isabella grape can be pressed and
worked by the same methods but it is much
deficient in sac:haine matter. Any of your
rea,lers who have succeeded in making grape
juice wine 10y any other process would be
pleased to have their receipts through the
