AmHonor To HAYNES.

GAINESVILLE, Sept. Is, 1860
MESSRS. EDITORS About three thousand people
assembled here to-day to witness the discussion be-
tween the State Electors, Messrs. HAYNES, PEYToN
and Polk. From some cause Mr.. PEYToN was alb
sent, and bypermission of Col, HAYNES Gen. J. NJ
QUARIEs filled his place-a thing which we venture
to assert he will never do again if HAYNES is about
We can not give the details. The triumph was too
complete
Col. Polk opened the discussion, Gen. QUAmEs
followed, and Col HAYNES the gallant and nvincibe
standard-bearer of the trSe Democracy, closed. As
Col. HAYNES stepped forward on the stand he was
greeted by round after round of the most tumultu-
GUS applause. We had heard of his gallant encoun-
tiers with the BELL-DCGLAsTEs and in which he had
always so nobly borne the standard of the party,
consequently were anxious to hear him. We ex-
pected great deal, but we even then disap-
pointed. We didn't expect half enough. We say
to you in all candor, was such speech heard
here before. And as he took up his opponents, one
by one, and exposed their positions to the people,
he was greeted by the most enthusiastic applause.
He held the vast assemblage completely spellbound
by hs eloquence. We have never seen speaker
exercise such complete control over an audience.
His reply to the speech of Gen. QuARLEs was partic
ularly whitening and caused that gentleman the
most excruciatng fortunes We have never seen
him look so badly whipped in his life, and many of
his friends openly admit it. He never will forget
his encounter with HAYNES, his party friends were
deeply chagrined, and blame hm-any of them
openly-for getting into the trap. We have not time
to give details the Democracy are shouting happy,
whilst with the BELL men, it is Rats TO your holes :"
All right here. The fires burning brightly, and
we will gain conside rably on FILLNORE's vote. II.

GolIaday and Rate.

LEBANON, Sept. 25, 1860.
MEssRs. EDroRs Yesterday was the day by APP
pontment for our Electors to speak here and court
being in session we had fine crowd in town. and
must say to you and your readers that it was bright
day for our cause; and such q triumph of the
power of truth, have not witnessed before since
the day that "Old ANDY" something made the
Eagle Orator so sick here, several years since We
had heard SO often from the brags, that GoIIADAr
had BATE down, THAT many of the Democrats felt
more than usual soicitude to hear the discussion
and they all came ont to hear for themselves
BATE opened the discussion with an hour and a
haif's speech, when GOLLADAY replied in an hour
and half speech, when the rejolnder of half an
hour each, GoLLADAY having the close And | as
you that in Bates rejoinder never heard such
a scathing administered in all my life. The shouts
went up thick, and fast, and loud that one would
have thought everybody and the rest of mankind
were Democrats, and think yet that some of the
Know NOthings themselves were uncOnsciously ap-
plauding. And when GoLLADAY arose he showed
clearly in his face that he felt turned down. and
showed evident confusion as to where to begin his
reply, but presently got his hands to work by clap
ping and wnking," peculiar to himself alone while
all his party looked anxious and bawling as if by
way of trying to hep him rally; but poor fellow,
1--WE love him personality we could not withhold
our sympathies for his position, for he never did
struggle harder, and of his party could have
shown better pluck or made better fight than he
did. If the fight has been this way all over the Dis
trict, you may rest very easy to the result re-
gardless of Know Nothing boasts or reports about
the discussion. WILSON.

Texas Indian News.

Our readers will remember that few days ago
we published brief account of an Indian fight on
the Texas frontier, in which Major Geo. II. Thomas,
I'd cavalry, with several of his men, were wounded
Our San Antonio exchanges by last evenings mail
contain the official report Of Maj. Thomas to Col.
Lee. the commander of the Texas department U. S.
army. The report is dated at CaElp Cooper, Texas.
Aug 3lst, 1860. We give the following resume from
the document
"0n the morning of the 18th OF July, Major Thorn
as~Operating with detachment of the I'd cavalry,
on the head waters of tAe ConchO and Colorado
rivers came trail about fourteen miles East Of
Mountain Pass, which was pursuedRn w. n. W.
direction for about forty miles that day, travelling
as long they could the trail after nightfall.
On the 10Th, about o'clock, A. NJ the Delaware
guide Desc, discovered the Indians eleven in num-
Der, just as they were, preparing to leave camp.
The party moved forward at once in gGllop for a
mile and half before coming in sight OF their
camp, which was located on the opposite side OF a
deep ravne, running North and it is presumed, into
the Clear Fork impossible except it a few polnts.
Here they lost considerable time in searching for a
crossing and only succeeded finally by dismOunting
and leading the animals. In the meantime the Indl-
ans, being already mounted and having their animals
collected together had increased their distance from
US half mile after crossing, they drove them al
full speed for about three and half miles, when
they abandoned therfloose animals and continued
their flight efectng their escape solely from the
fact that animals had been completely exhaust
ed by the fatiguing pace at which the pursuit had
been kept up. One fellow, more persevering than
the rest and who still kept his position in the rear
of the loose animals, suddenly dismounted and pre-
pared to fight, and our men, in their eagerness to
dispatch him, pressed upon him thicky that sew

a Word nf ErnInnn1inn

The Douglas Convention which assembled in tins
city the 30th August, adopted the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That we instruct our electors TO vote
for Douglas and johnson in case it will either elect
them before the people, carry them to the House
of Representatives and in case il will do neither
they shall cast their votes as will best subserve
the purpose of defeating the Black Republican can
didates.'
1t will be observed that the Douglas Democrats
have committed themselves to the position that it
would be better to carry Douglas to the House than
TO elect Breckenridge by the people and that they
have made no distinction between breckenridge
and Bell Under these circumstances, and after
some reflection, we deem it TO be duty to strike
from our editorial columns the following:
I'VE shall support this ticket for President and
Vice President on these conditions: That the cleo.
tors will vote for the strongest man. Breckinridge
or Douglas as the case may be, against Lincoln
That is if the vote of this State will elect either of
them over Lincoln or will put either of them in the
House. it is to be cast accordingly But if the vote
viii elect neither nor put either of them in the
House, theselectOrs 10 vote as they please"
We still think that the vote of this State should he
cast so as to elect Breckenridge or Douglas or Roll
by the people as against Lincoln and we have no
doubt if the people of the State will elect the Breck
inridge electors, as believe they will that the
vote will be so cast But our Douglas friends must
not expect us TO make constant tender of more ia
them than they will cOncede to US Hence onr
course, and hence this explanation
Voters of all parties should bear in mind that the
question of the Constitutional rights of the Sonth is
above party. We have always treated it, and we
are so treating it now. We believe the safest and
best course in North Carolina is to support Mr.
Breckinridge and We are acting accordingly. There
is vet room for hope that Lincoln can be defeated !;
but however this may be, let adhere to principle
and 60 with our section in this great, but, we trust
not final struggle for the Constitution and the Union
We still have confidence in the great body of the
Northern Democracy, and we regret our partial
separation from them; but regrets vain for
what is mast Let us do our duty under the circum-
stances which surround us.-M C. Standard, Sept
2l

Breckenridge and Bell in New York.

Ii is sometimes asserted that Mr.. Bell has more
strength at the North than Mr. Breckenridge.
The ialsty of this assertion so far as New YORK Is
concerned, may be shown in various ways. First,
by the press There are twenty-sx or thirty news
papers in this State that have raised the Breckenridge
and Lane flag and not over five or six that have
raised the Bell and Everett ticket 1t is acknowledge
ed that nearly the whole force of the Bell party is in
this city yet there are some entire wards in which
they have not men enough TO get up an organization
and hence are not represented at all in their Central
Committee. On the contrary, the Breckenridge
men have organizations in eUey loGFd of the city,
and much rivalry exists as to who of the many ap-
picants shall be delegates to the Breckenridge Gen
eral Committee. Persons who sneer at the Brock
inridge strength in this State do it for party pur
poses The idea Of placing the Bell men upon any
thing like par With is simply ridiculous. And
IN answer to many inquiries we have received from
the South we would say that what We have stated
in relation to New York State, will more than hold
good throughout the North. In New Jersey and
Pennsylvania the Bell party are perhaps a little
stronger relatively than in this State but in all the
Northern States theyIare emphatically-TuE In Bos-
ton the Everett-Lunt clique have small ultra
spectacle number of followers, but IN the rest of
tho northern States the Bell men have not even an
organization, or, so far as we know, not a single
newspaper.-As0 York Day Book.

ACTIVE MOVEMENTS OF THE REPUBLIcANs.-The Re-
publicanS are moving heaven and EARTH to carry
New York city. They had procession there
Thursday night which was, singularly for politi-
cal parade, composed of drilled men. The Herald
says:
No less than forty-six hundred men paraded in
military array, each clothed in uniform, and each
bearing blazing torch As the procession passed
up Broadway between eleven o'clock and midnight,
the scene presented was most extraordinary one.
As far as the eye could reach there was a line of
livid light, not struggling here and there, is fire.
quenty the with torchlight parades, but as
straight and regular as the company parts of a
crack regiment of citizen soldiers. The Wide
Awakes have evidently been drilled by capable Off
GERS, and were handled by their commanders with
thorough military precision. The turnout of Thurs
day was however, a small affair, compared with
the Wide Awake demonstration which is to take
place in this city the evening of the Sd of OetO
Der. There are in TIE Northern and Eastern States
over four hundred and twenty thousand voters en-
rolled in the ranks of the Wide Awakes, and it is
purposed to have general reunion of the clubs
and grand parade, in which delegations from all
the principal cities and towns will participate.

Edward Everett ON tho African.

The following Is taken from Volume Sd of Ever
etts Oratons and Speeches, edited by himself, and
published in Boston in September 1859, by Little,
Brown Co. Speaking of Abdul Rahaman, an AT
rican Prince who had been captured and sold into
slavery, Mr.. Everett says:
"If there was ever a native born gentleman on
earth, he was one. He had the port and the air of
a Prince and the literary culture of scholar The
learned blacksmith of Alabama, now in Liberia has
attained celebrity scarcely inferior TO his white
brother who is known by the same designation
When lived in Cambridge a few years ago, used
to attend of the board of visitors the examn
ations of classical school in which there col
Ored boy, the son of slave in Mississippi, think.
de appeared to me to be of q pure African blood.
Ihere were at the same two youths from Georgia
and one of my own attending the same school.
l must say that this poor negro boy, Beverly Viii
Mans was one Of the best scholars at the school,
and IN the Latin Language he was the best scholar
in his class."-(Pp. 1929
Speaking of the same Abdul Rahaman, on page
1913 of the Sd volume, Mr.. Everett says:
"And how few Americans OF Europeans after
forty years bondage would have come out like Alb
dull, unbrOken in body and mind Let US all learn
by this example to respect the African race as one
whose best specimens win not suffer in comparison
with our own, and remember that there are races
in Europope which fall far below the boosted stand

The Prospects.

The Il. Y. Herald speaking CT the hopelessness of
carrying any of the New England or Northwestern
States against LINCOLN says:
This throws the responsibility of the defeat of
Lincoln upon the conservative voters in the Middle
States or New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
where the several factions are doing all within their
power to prevent cordial union Of the entire anti
Lecompton forces. In Pennsylvania the masses are
trying to unite; but Forney insists upon running
straight out Douglas ticket TO pay the Republicans
for giving him the OlerkshIp Of the House Of Re-
presentatives The regular Democratic organize
ton in New Jersey, have hoisted Union ticket re-
presenting the Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell in
terests; but a set Of infatuated Douglas men, who
really want Lincoln elected, are running straight
Douglas ticket; but they, like Forney fast sink
ing into insignfcance.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1860-09-28
How stands the Count.

We have taken some pains to ascertain the pros
pect of Breckenridge and Lane, and feel assured
that they will carry every Southern State and Cali
fornia and Oregon. Had Mr.. Douglas been disposed
to have defeated Lincoln, the Democracy would have
also carried Pennsylvania and Connecticut. But in
both these States the Douglas leaders refused all
propositions from the Breckenridge men to run
Joint electoral ticket The defeat of the Democracy
and the election of Lincoln if he be elected will lay
at the door of the Douglas men in Penns ylvana and
Connecticut Had they desired to defeat Lincoln
they would not have refused to unite with the Brsck
inrdge men in these States On their shoulders rest
the consequences of Lincoln's election. There is
some hope of New Jersey and Delaware; but it is
now reduced to a certainty, that Lincoln will beat
Douglas at the North West. The only hope of de-
featng Lincoln rests with New York. In that State
the Breckenridge men have, and are now, in favor
of a fair and honorable union with the Douglas and
Bell men. Douglas State Committee heve refused
the terms of Union proposed by the Breckenridge
men. The Douglas subcommittee, however. are
said to favor fair union with the Breckenridge
men. Unless this be done Lincoln must carry the
State and probably be elected.
The Breckenridge men at the North have done all
that honorable men car do, to defeat Lincoln; but
up to this time the Douglas men have refused to CO.
operate with them. Let the consequences be dis
astrous and the finger of scorn will be pointed at
the Douglas party North and ye did IN will be the
indignant response of honest men all over the cOun-
try MiledgeUlle Union.

party. (This is the estimate of BELL man,
