ed to believe that the Breckenridge vote in
this CITY will much exceed the Douglas vote,

There are doubtless many Douglas men here,

or Some fourteen or fifteen negro slaves
have made their escape from here to free soil
during the last day or two. This is one of the
natural and inevitable consequences of the
Lincoln and Douglos speeches made here
recently. The people of Kentucky win vet
find that every Lincoln or Douglas speech
made within their borders will cost them a
negro-rather expensive, as all must admit

The GLOOMY PROSPECT IN GEoRGIA.-Ar
intelligent correspondent of the Savannah Re.
publican, writing from Upson county, Ga.
says that the wheat and oat crop is an almos
total failure. Corn will not make more thar
one-fourth Of a crop. Peas, potatoes, frui
and vegetables Of all kinds have likewise suf
fered immensely from the drought. The same
writer says; without early and judicioul
supplies of rain, the cotton crop of this Stat'
will be the shortest that has been made for the
past twenty fine years"
In view ofthese gloomy prospects, the peo-
pie are beginning to think of sending off their
stock to Tennessee or otherwise disposing OF
it. The writer also proposes the formation Of
''bread societies.

Douglas Testimony,

We confess that we attach no importance,
one way or the other, to the testimony ol
one who has as basely betrayed his party and
its cause as Douglas has done-but there may
be others who have a better opinion of him.
For their benefit then, we copy what he said
of Mr.. Breckenridge in his Memphis speech
when he was fishing for Southern influence ::
l think the South entitled to the next no.
mination, and should like to see Mr.. Breckin.
ridge obtain it. He is popular with the party
believe everywhere, and deservedly 50. HI
is an able man, will make good President
and with pride name him as my friend.
