The COOP OLD TUNEs-There is, to us more
touching pathos, heart-thrilling expression, more
feeling displayed, in some Of the old psalm tunes
than in a whole batch of modernisms. The strains
go home and the .fountain Of the great deep is
broken up the great deep of unfathomed feeling
that lies far far below the surface of the wordhar
dened heart; and as the untoward yet unchecked
tear starts in the eye the sofened spirit yields to
their influence and shakes off the load Of earthly
care, rising, purified and spirituaized into pure
atmosphere. Strange, inexplicable associations
brood over the mind, ininglng their chaste melody
of the nusing of still subdued, more cheerful
; character. How many glad hearts in the olden
time have rejoiced in those songs Of praise-how
many sighed out their complaints in the paintive
notes that steal sadly, yet sweetly on the ear
hearts that now cold in death, are laid to rest
around that sacred tune, within whose walls they
bad 20 often sweled with emotion laeka0ood.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.--Away among the Allegha
MES, there is spring small that single OK, in
summers day, could drain it dry. 1t steals its
obtrusive way among the hills till it spreads out
into the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches out
thousand miles, leaving on its banks more than
hundred villages and cities, and many cultivated
farm, and bearing on its bosom more than half
thousand steam boats Then joining the Mississippi,
it stretches away some twelve hundred miles more,
till it falls into the great emblem Of eternity. II is
one of the great tributaries of the ocean, which,
obedient only to God, shall roll and roar till the
angel with foot the sea and the other on the
land shall lift up his hands to heaven, and swear
that time shall be no longer. So with moral infu-
ence 1t is rill-a rivulet-an ocean, boundless
and fathomless as eternity-Southern IHinoiSan

ed his English princeship While he bore tlRt title
he was renowned for nothing but his hatred Of his
father. That amiable Prince returned the senti-
men. of his dutiful son with interest, and at one
time entertained the design of having him kindnap-
ped and sent to the colonies Admiral Berkeley
being the chosen agent in the transaction. He be-
came King in 1927 when his son Frederick became
Prince of Wales, and was 10th.
Frederick improved upon the example his father
had set him. George Ill. hated his father but loved
his mother, the unfortunate Sophia Dorothea Oh
Zell Frederick hated both father and mother, anu
they hated him. Much to their joy, he died before
his father, in 1751, and his son George afterwards
George Ill., became Prince of Wales.
George was the nth Prince of Wales, and sue

CHEERING SIGNS.

The attentive reader Of the Geographic dispatches
cannot fail to have noted the large number of rati
cations, gatherings, meetings and demonstrations of
one kind and another that daily reported from
all parts of the country in favor of Douglas and De-
mocracy. Nor can he have failed to contrast this
with the almost total silence in reference to Lincoln
Not day passes but we have accounts of numerous
ratification meetings of the Democracy, where en-
thusiasm, ZEAL and the greatest outbursts of feeling
witnessed such show Enthusiastically how the
popular heart is beating During the two past weeks
the telegraph has reported Lincoln ratification meet
ngs in Pittsburg, New York, and Vincennes; while
during the time, it has reported Douglas ratii-
cation meetings at Baltimore, Covington, New York,
Albany, Newport St Lewis, Worcester, Indepen-
dence, indianapolis, New Orleans, Rochester, Og-
densburg. Fulton, New Haven, Boston, Hartford,
Springfield, and Albany again. These are simply
the telegraphic reports, while our exchanges come
loaded down with reports of meetings in other and
smaller towns, which may not be large, but they
are not one whit less enthusiastic OF the charac-
ter of these meetings one two extracts will speak.
At 0gdensburg: 1.-The largest and most successful
mass meeting held here since 1852 was held We'd
nesday evening to ratify the nomination of Douglas
and johnson, and the greatest enthusiasm prevail
ed" At Rochester, on Thursday evening: "The
Democracy are holding immense ratification meet
ing here; bontires and fireworks illumine the hea-
vens bands Of music parade the streets and the
greatest enthusiasm prevails" And at Albany, on
Friday evening: 1.-The enthusiasm throughout the
line of march was unequaled, and even more than
the numbers present. indicates the madness of
friendship with which Judge Douglas is hailed by
his friends"
And so we could fill columns, but these will suf
fee All the public dispatches and all the news
paper accounts are of the same tenor and from one
we learn all. The signs are certainly cheering

A ROYAL KIss.-Some of the journals are stating
that the Prince of Wales is the first heir apparent to
the throne of England who has ever. visited the
United States; but this is mistake. Doubtless
many readers are familiar with an anecdote of VIII
liam w. before he came to his estate to the fellow
ing effect:
While in New York the Prince called at BARRIERS
shop to be shaved. When the operation was COM
pleted he stepped up to the BARRIERS pretty wife
who CHANGED to be present. and giving her kiss,
remarked, "There, now, you can say you have been
kissed by one of the Royal family" The barber
choosing to receive this insult seized the prime
and helping him out Of the shop with his foot ex-
claimed, There, now, you can say that you have
received royal kick from freeman"

THE KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN GIRO

THE KNIGHTS OF The UOLDEN OihOhH-
We publish below grandiloquent manifesto,
which we have received addressed to the faithful
KNIGHTS of this mystic, invisible and, we suspect
half mythical organization The document is duly
signed and countersgned by the iustrious Gener-
assimo Buckley, and by his scarcely less illustrious
aid of the same name. Its literary execution re-
minds us orcibly of the style Of General BomoasteS
in the play, and We shall not be surprised TO nnd
the analogy still further perceptble in the proper
tions of the respective armies OF these two heroes
the ndomitable Buckley, and the formidable Bonn
bastes Were we less pointedly admonished OF the
pre-eminently Southern character Of the Order
and its aims the modest illusions to the almighty
dollar contained in the proclamation might lead us
to infer that its author hailed from the land OF wood
en- nutmegS. As it is, without further ceremony,
we lay the manifesto before our readers conessing,
however, some lingering doubts as to how Tar IN,
dviduals of sober, moral and industrious habits
will avail themselves of its disintercsted and mag
unanimous propositions.

LETTER FROM HON. JEFF. DAVIS.
We refer our readers to the letter which we pub
lish below, from the pen of Col. jeff Davis. 1t was
written in response to addressed to him by Col
W. B. Sloan of this city, inviting him to be present
at the Breckenridge and Lane ratification meeting
which came off on Saturday last 1t will be OBJ
served that he speaks in the most encouraging terms
in regard to the success of our ticket 1t rejoices
us to hear that the cloud which for some time SEEM
ed to lower upon our house has a silver lining, a
sign that can but animate the soul Of the true Dem
ocra and n(use new hope and joy into the heart of
the patriot
WASHINGTON D. c., July s. 1860.
Ny DEAR Sir: 1t gives me pleasure to acknowl-
edge yours of the I'd inst, informing me that the
Democrats Of our county were to assemble on the
14th to ratify the nomination of Breckenridge and
Lane and that they particularly desired me to be
present on that occasion. My health does not per-
nit me to return home at this season, and to the
many regrets connected with that fact is to be added
the inability to unite with my Democratic neighbors
in declaring our acceptance of the ticket which is
the fair exponent Of political faith. Though we
cannot but lament that in a general convention
Democratic delegates denied articles of creed so
essential produce division, it is matter of con-
graduation that party had enough OF vitality to
bear amputation and adhcring to fundamental prin-
ciples to give us good candidates on good plat
form.
Believing the preservation Of the government IN
its vigor and purity to depend mainly on the Dem
ocracy, hoped earnestly for its unity and harmony;
but when it became manifest that the organization
and consequent power of the party could only be
maintained by the surrender Of constitutional duties
/ rejoced that Mississippi was represented at the
convention by men who were equal to the nobler
part of indicating her equality and honor regard
less alike Of empty promises and empty threats.
To admit that property is not entitled to re-
ceve from the general government such protection
as affords to the property of other sections, is to
consent to be degraded below our fellows. Such
proposition needs no argument-tos state it is to pre-
sent its condemnation Our party alone, OF those
seeking popular support, recognises the equali-
-ty of the right of the South 10 the common Terri
tories and pledges there to give federal protection
to the property of our citizens by all the constitu
tional powers of the federal arm. Can Southern
man hesitate under such circumstances as to which
of the tickets he will adopt?
The political sky is daily growing brighter, and
permits us to look with increasing hope for the tr
nmph of the national-that is the constitutional
Democracy.
Please offer assurances Of my affectionate remem-
brance Of my friends and neighbors, the Democrats
| of Warren, and believe me to be,
Very truly. yours
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
