LARGE ACcEssIoNs TO DOUGLASS
Already we can count by scores the
names of those who are abandoning the
opposition party for Douglas, in almost
every locality. In our own county, we
can mention the names of large num-
Der who have come out for i,im-many
of them of high standing and we'll
known. After the State elections in
October show, as they will, that Lincoln
cannot possibly be elected, there will be
a grand stampede Of the more National
Republicans into the Douglas camp,
in nearly all the Northern States !;
enough to ensure his Triumphant election
by the people. He is emphatically the
candidate for the people, having received
the nomination over the heads of the
political wire-workers because the PEG.
pie demanded it. The people will elect
him. and not let the Presidency go into
Congress to be gamblcd for and won by
the man who will play the boldest game.
In the Southern States, where the
Union is cherished, be will receive
support that will astonlsh the fire-eaters
and disunionists of the Secession States.
Let us do our whole duty, and all will
be well.-Mdrietta Republican.

state Democratic Ex. Committee.
The Progress Of tho Campaign.

From all quarters Of the Union-from
Maine to Florida, from Louisiana to
Minnesota, from the Atlantic shore to
the Pacific coast--throughout the land
everywherc,p our forth the thunder tones
OF the great Democratic party in favor
OF the election of that noble Statesman
and Patriot, Stephen A. Douglas. In
those States wherein the dissenteTs had
hoped and believed that everything
could be carried by storm for Mr.. Brock
inridgc, the masses are arousing almost
to man, and taking up arms in favor
OF the peoples choice, the Little
Giant OF Illinois.
Honestly and candidly few weeks
ago we could not have been made to
beliese that the peoplc-thc whole peo-
pie Of the Union, were SO unanimously
IN favor of that noble man. But there
IS no use in trying to repress the fact
that Douglas is the choice of the Union,
and that her noble-hearted frcemen will
by their votes place him in the highest
position In their gift, the proudest posi-
ton ever coveted or ever reached by a
citizen of any nation on the globe.
In the South-we mean no particular
State or section of that portion Of the
Unlon-we mean in the entire South,
the Douglas strength is increasing day
by day and honr by hour with the most
surprising,the most unheard of rapidity.
1t see MS as though the entire country be-
low Mason d Dixon's line we're on fire
for the candidate Of the National
Democracy. Nor is the South the
only place in which we discover
prospects of another noble Dem
ocratlc victory. In the Northern
States the same feeling is fast gaining
ground, and the people are becoming
aroused in the cause of the faAorite can
didate. Every day we notice fresh &C.
cessions to the cansc, while newspapers
which Tor a long time have stood on the
fence are daily announcing their pref.
ences for Mr.. Douglas.
lfthere is anything to be gathered
from the signs of the times, if popular
feeling is any index Of coming events,
there can be but one conclusion arrived
at and that is that Stephen A. Douglas,
IN spite OF all opposition Of Black Repub-
hcans or seceders will be the next Pres.
AGENT OF the United States. Stick pin

Opinion Of the yankee in the south

Probably no animal known to natural
history is regarded with such aversion as
the Yankee in some portions of the South.
The phrase is rarely employed in compli-
nentary sense, or without the addition of an
adjective more emphatic than refined. He
is supposed to have been born in bed of
Wethersfeld onions, raised ON Goldfish.
trained to sing through his nose, by which
he is always to be distinguished from his
carnal fellow-men, and taught to amuse his
juvenile hours with wooden nutmegs, which
are conceded to be the chief staple of the
New England States. No good thing can
come out of his land, no generosity, no chiv-
airy, no honesty, no frankness. He is habit
nally mean, calculating, avaricious and in
hospitable.
Now, it is very remarkable that those por-
tions of the South (happily, few in number,
ana growing less every day. where the YAM
kee is thus regarded, are conspicuous in
bestowing upon the despised Yankee nation
what would, generally be CONSIDERED the
most solid testimonials of good will. They
are the chief patrons of the Yankee race;
they fill their law, medical, and theological
schools; they pass by Southern cities to give
to the hated Yankees their trade; they are
the first to go to Yankee springs and the
last TO come away; they eat with Yankee
frogs, dig with Yankee spades, wear Yankee
shoes, sit in Yankee chairs, and are often bur-
led in Yankee coffins. AS Brother Jonathan
looks more to substance than to ceremony.
he probably regards the actions of the Yam
kee-haters as better index of their feelings
than their words. At any rate, we see that
he is multiplying his steam connections with
them and drawing them closer to his for
giving heart.--Baltimors american.

Interesting 70 Wemen-The Bridal Dress
Of a Princess.

The wedding dress of the Princess of Po-
ignac, who married the rich bankers SON
N. Mires, is described in lie Paris Follet. Ii
was of MORE, quite plain in the skirt, bui
with long train, high body, buttoned in
front with fine pearls an English lace collar,
fastened at the throat by diamond brooch;
the bouquet of orange blossoms, fastened at
the waist; the coiffure was q diadem of white
Lilac and roses; the hair fastened behind a
rich comb Of diamonds an immense vail of
English lace thrown over the head, and fall
ing nearly to the bottom of the dress, COM
peted this distagae toilet The second
bridesmaid had on q dress of white silk,
trimmed round the skirt with three rows
Of pinked silk ruching, the third row carried
lp to the waist. The bouquet of orange
Howers placed in the bow of toe sash, which
vas also trimmed with ruches. A diadem
wreath of white roses and lilies of the
valley, over which was thrown the large
square vail of plain tule, simply hemmed.
The third bridesmaid, who was Young and
beautiful, wore dress at once simple and
elegant. II was composed of white tarla-
tine, very fine and thin, covered with pink
founces Of the same. A high, full body,
with a ruehe round the throat. A wide
scarf of white silk, with friDged ends, round
the waist, fastened in q bow at the side, in
which was placed the orange-flower bouquet
A diamond wreath of white moss rose-buds
in the hair, over which large vail, also OF
tarlatne, reaching nearly TO the feet. Per-
haps, says LeFottet, the beauty of the bride
may have given charm to her dress, but
we must confess we have never seen one that
pleased US altogether so much, not only for
It's simplicity but for its real elegance.

The Duke of Sutherland = The Political
Powers of the Duchess

Ihe Duke OF cuthcrland - The Political
Powers of the Duchess.
The London correspondent of the New
Orleans Della writes in late letter:
The grandest of all the northern nobility
is the Duke of Sutherland; his income Is
nearly 81, 100000, but like wise man, as the
ladies will say, he leaves the business of il
mostly to the Duchess, the most magnificent
representative of the title of Duchess which
England has to boast of. She is a woman
almost of colossal stature, and yet of vast
dignity OF department, and, what is rare in
the mighty of size, of infinite taste TO set off
her handsome person, and, what is rarest of
all, in any one, wonderfully good-humored.
This lady should have worldwide reputa-
tion as politician, if she be rightly repre-
sented. She is the chief of the Whig ladies'
and gentlemen, too, and should there be q
difficulty with any one OF them, and my
Lord Palmerston finds his arts, and the
destinations of Cambridge House-his resi-
dence-growing of little value, the refractory
are passed oyer to the glorious Duchess; for
no man IN his senses, and with a spark of
the chivalry we yet pride ourselves upon
possessing, would think of saying nay to the
Duchess invitation to spend two or three
days at one of her country residences, where,
OF course, every thing is at once put CONNIE
Y fdnt for grand reception, according to
the tastes of the man she has to deal with.
II he love art its representatives are culled
from the cream, and there is veritable fes-
tiyity of all that is great in artistic life
science, music, beauty, sporting, or stern
philosophy-no matter, while the taste of
the honored guest is pandered to; and it
must be q stern and peculiar temperament
that can resist the words of friendly sympa-
thy, OF counsel and interest, with which Wo-
man overccmes the strongest, by gently
gliding into the sympathies aud the conf
dence of the friend she aims at winning. Sir
Robert Peel knew the wonderful power of
this great lady right well, and flung up his
post OF Prime Minister rather than consent
to the Duchess remaining attendant upon
the Queen, as Mistress of the Robes, and with
all the chances Of political influence open be-
fore the courtiers, which she knows 50 well
how to make use of.

The Extensive Stables of Wipdsor Castle
Queen VictOria's Fondness for Horses
Dr Tavhnrn in ann of hia raoant lattars

The Extensive Stables of Wipdsor CASTLE
Queen victOria's Fondness for Horses.
DR.. Leyburn, in one of his recent letters
writes; m'
The Castle occupies an elevated site right
on the edge of the little village of Windsor,
which presumptuously climbs up to the very
gates, and nestles under the shadows of the
towers. The effect of the pile as seen from
distance, is fne-really regal. Before
going into the interior, we were shown the
Queens stables, "Mews," as they call them
here. These, as may be imagined, are on
scale corresponding with the extravaganza
of royalty. She keeps 300 horses, part of
which were now in London, as she was So
journing for the present at Buckingham
Palace. All Of those here were greys except
the fancy ponies.
One of the latter is beautiful little milk
white animal, as clean and nice as soap water
and currying could make him. He is pet
Of the Queens, and she has small chair in
which she drives him herself around the
gardens. There were also four of the tiniest
bay ponies, which the Princess Alice herself
drives, four-in-hand, in a small carriage.
These, with six Others, were present from
the King Of Sardinia. The name of each is
inscribed on marble plate in his stall, on
one of which is "Victor,n and on another
Emmanuel in honor Of the illustrious
donor. y
Queen Victoria has the opportunity of en-
joying sufficient variety in her carriage
riding, to give it freshness and spice.
counted thirty carriages here. They are of
every description, too, open and close, old
and new, large and small. Some of them
are the numbering, clumsy old things in
which the Georges were won't to be Travelled
and aired: One is long, high-swung Char
q-6dnc, elegantly got up, a present from
Louis Philippe during his royal days, and
used now by Prince Albert when he takes
his friends out on shooting parties. Another
is droskie, which, with one or two of the
children's carriages, was a present from the
Emperor Of Russia. There are also one or
two Irish jaunting cars, and two of the
wicker-work basket infants wagons, such
as nurses draw about the streets in our
American towns. In the News at Lon
don, believe, there are about as many
more royal vehicles, including what the
Times calls the "gilded glass case,n in which
Her Majesty rides on State occasions.
