The ship White Swallow has cleared for Melbourne
with over 10000 sacks Of wheat and 1000 sacks

With the exception of some political movements,
there has not an incident occurred since the last

The Douglas State Convention held its session
in SACRAMENTO on the 9Th and 9Th instant. The
State was fully represented. More than half the
delegates were supporters Of Latham and the Adj
mlnistratton last year. The representation was
such as indicates strong probability that the
State will go for Douglas. P. Hammond, Hum

r. Price were nominated for electors The reso.

Of the North and the di4unionsts Of the South !;

nand their speedy endorsement: favor overland
mails, telegraphs, and the Pacific Railroad, and
urge Congressional aid for all. The necessary
steps were taken to conduct the canvass Tigor-
Tie Bell and Everett party held their conven
ton on the same days mentioned above; III del

The proceedings were very harmonious, though
the organization as yetmanifests but little strength
They viii NOT cast 5000 votes, and may abandon
their organization and all go for Douglas if sub
segment adyces from the East suggest that policy.
The Republicans are actively canyassng the
State. All their best speakers are in the field and
they are gaining the support of many Anti-Le-
compton Democrats of last year, while the Douglas
party appears to be gaining from Breckenridge.

An intensely exciting contest is going on in sar

Firm or Vigilance Committee succession party il

thousand citizens, irrespective of party, urging
continued adherence to the reform policy in munic

Bell and Van Buren,.


Written for lie crescent
Mr.. EdNor-A great deal has been said by the
Breckenridge orators editors and small beer poll
ticians, In regard to the charge against John Bell
OF having admitted many years ago that Congress
had the po7rer under the Constitution to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia. That appears
to be their principal charge against Mr.. Bell.
Now, let us see how the Democracy stand upon
this question. In the year 1886, when Martin Van
Buren, Gen. Harrison and Judge White Of Tennes-
see, were candidates for the Presidency, certain
interrogatories were prOpOunded to them, and
among the number was, HAS Congress the power
to abolish slavery in the District OF Columbian"
Mir. Van Buren, answered those questions in about
as straight forward manner as he was capable oil
doing. His to the interrogatory referred to
was as follows, to the best Of my recollection
'Fron the lights before me, cannot say that Con
gress has NOT the power to abolish slavery in the
District Of Columbia, but if a bill Of that kind
should pass, would veto it, etc. Thus you see
Mr.. Van Buren, admitted that Congress han The
po,rer to abolish slavery in the District of Column
bia, but, that he as President, would not sanction
such measure.
Mr. Van Buren,, at that time was the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency Ia Northernman with
Southern principles. He was elected in that year
by the Democracy, Notwithstanding he admitted
that Congress had the power to abolish slavery
in the District Of Columbia. He was their candi-
date in 1916, when he was beat BY Gen. Harrison,
and would haze been their candidate again in 1874
if he had not declared himself in opposition to the
annexation of Texas. The two-thirda rule was
sprung upon him, he having q majority of the
delegates in convention, and Mr.. Polk was nom
mated in his place. Not the least objection was
urged against him the ground of his admitting
that Congress had the power to abolish slavery in
the District Of Columbia, but he was thrown out
merely because he was opposed to the annexation
Of Texas. If Mr.. Bell is to be censured for admit
ting that Congress has the power to abolshslavery
| in tOiumbla.
Democratic party at the South are equally culpa-
Bile in supporting man for the Presidency, at two
different times, who had made the same admis-
| sions
As John Bell never voted to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, and he voted against
the bill to abolish the slave trade in that District in
1850, and as he is q Southern man. and was edu-
Gated and reared in the South and all his wealth is
located within the Southern States il he cannot be
trusted BY the Southern people would like 70
know who can be trusted. If John Bell is a Free
soiler, then the whole voting population Of the
South must be strongly tinctured that way

THE WIDE-AwAKEs A MILITARY ORGANIZATION.
Mr. Horace Greeley delivered a speech, reported
in the Tribune, at the dedication of the new Wide
Awake Hall, in New York, on the 10th inst. Mr.
Greeley speaks of the Wide-Awake organization
as follows:
He had been much interested in the Wide-Awake
movement from the first, for the great lack of the
Republican party has been practical, active work
ing men. This was the most hopeful political
movement of this country. The young men are
beginning to feel their true power and it shows
them what they are able to do for their country
He looked on this as inaugurating true military
movement of this country. 1t is time that the free
men of this country learned to protect themselves
| Our standing army is composed mostly OF foreign
| ers and Offered in the most arstocratic manner,
and he wanted to this replaced by this new or
eanization and let the free and voluntary military
of this country have fair play; and when Govern
ment needs half million of men, let her call for
them, with the same money and the same prospect
than an army now have and we shall soon need
no standing army. He felt more hope for this or
ganzation because it comprises the young men and
| they have Liberty inscribed on their banners. The
| great work of the Revolution was not for a day
but for years; and he believed the time would yet
come when this work would be fully accomplished,
and man be equal to his brother man everywhere,
and Justice and right prevail. In this belief, he
bid them God speed in their work.

the names by which the different brands of teas

Hence it is often called Young Hyson.n 1Hy-

OLD DOCUMENT A. Limerick, Esq, of
Rodney, has favored us with a part of Day
Book kept by a merchant in Hnnston,, Jefferson
county, Mississippi, in the year 1911. The young
ladies' of that day (the grandmothers of this day)
had to pay fifty cents yard for calico, 81 70 per
yard for Swiss muslin, and we presume, did not
have silks at ALL Aaron Neal on the 18th of Janu-
ary 1911, paid $40 per yard for broadcloth 81 for
a silk handkerchief, and David Hunt, on the same
day paid 81 for II pounds of sugar. John Prince
is charged with pounds coffee at a. cents per
pound John Gray bought nails at 434 cents per
pound. Thomas Kinds obtained loaf sugar at 3i3
cents per pound and another had to get his rum
at IS cents per quart.
This old book makes us think that respectable
living in old times cost than it does now, but
the increase of wants and Injuries makes the mod
ern well-gotten up person more expensive thai
such an individual of modern days.

NoXE OF THEM Notwithstanding to the Lon
don Observer, the Atlantic telegraph cable is not
the only deep sea telegraph communication which
refuses to work. The Red Sea telegraph is out Of
order, the Malta and Cagliari line, of about 800
miles in length has long been interrupted. The
Malta to Corfu has also gone the way of its prede-
cessors; that from Alden to Kuraehee has co1tri,,
buted nothing for some time past to the stock OF
weekly dispatches. The failure Of OIL these Is
attributed to the want of knowledge of the
Qualities of the materials employed. and the
peculiar character of the electric fluid. There
has been not only insufficient experience, but
a great want of care in the manufacture OF
submarine telegraphs, and desire to economist
expenditure Notwithstanding these failures there
are projects in Europe for laying down other deep
sea telegraph lines, including one across the Allan
tic from Denmark to America.

his money taken some time last spring; suspicion
