PoRT RoYAL.-At the present time
much interest is connected with this local
ity, the great naval fleet having first an
chored there, making it the field in which
they are now operating. This port is
described by an exchange as large and
commcdious bay or arm of tho sea, hav-
ing three entrances affordipg nineteen and
half feet of water al the shallowest
places. 1t is the mouth of Broad River,
which divides st. Helena Island from the
main land on the South. 1t lies between
Charleston and Savannah, and consid-
erably nearer the latter than the former
place. st. Helena Island is covered with
plantations Of the famous sea-isand cot
ton, and has more slaves to the square
mile than any other equal extent of terri
tory in the world. The town Of Beau
fort, somewhat distinguished among the
watering places of the South IS on ST.
Helena Island.
Both Charleston and Savannah are
within striking distance of Port Royal,
BY comparatively short marches. It is
useless to speculate on General Shermans
movements after he shall have effected
landing. If the wishes and hopes Of the
loyal citizens Of the Union could be con-
suited, Charleston, the fountaiu-head Of

,ELEcrioNs.AThc municipal elections
at Detroit and Chicago took place last
week. The results are extraordinary.
The citizens ticket in both places, acting
upon the union principle, has been woful-
ly defeated. AT Chicago, tho Metropoli-
tan Hall ticket, mostly composed Of out
and-out republicans, is elected triumph
antly over all combinations. AtDetroit,
the straight democratic ticket is elected
by great majority, thus leaving the Goa
lition element far from even chance ol
success. The result is right. The plar
Of coalition is first and last wicked con
ception. Can any one hereafter doubt
the fallacy and impropriety of the "Nc
Party" principle, so anxiously seized and
advocated by those in whom principle
has never had a place? Arc not the ad
vocates of this abominable union scheme
now ready TO drop the political dogma

VorE FOR BENJAMIN p. AVERY We think a
little timely warning will not be out of place
lust now At the last State election we tried to
prevail on the people of Trinity to vote for
OMeara for State Printer, instead of Bolts.
OMeara was good and worthy man-had scrv-
cd the State faithfully and honestly in that ca
paeity, (Which we cannot say of bis successor)
Botts--that is, Judge Botts-was elected knew
no more of the duties and responsibilities of the
Office than a Fejee Islander; hired the work done
at additional expense to the State wrote and
circulated, while holding the Office, pamphlet
on the Right of Secesson"-in itself an insult
to the people of loyal State-and now enjoys
the favor of those who oppose the Administration
in putting down rebellion intended TO sever
and destroy the Union bcqueathed to US by our
patriot fathers.
Now what we ask is that the people Of Trinity
support BENJAMIN p. AVERY, for State Printer
He is practical man, and one well worthy the
suflragcs of every citizen who feels an interest
in the welfare of the State. Further he is a
gentleman against whom not even the opposing
parties dare venture an objection more than
that be is Republican. His political enemies
are awed and astonished at the open, frank and
manly tone OF the paper over which he presides
- the Marysvlle appeal. No evidence Of aboli-
tiou tiuclure has ever shown itself in that sheet
under his charge.
Mr.. Avery was for several years miner In
Nevada county, and we have heard his old com
panions in labor speak in glowing terms of his
many noble qualities. One thing is positively
certain. Jno. r. Ridge the Union Democratic
nominee cannot be elected His weak policy
as editor of the San Francisco Herald, in. endeav
oring to curry favor with the secession party
has defeated him if he ever had show of election
For ourselves, we had rather vote for Mat
Carr than Ridge Either Avery or Carr will be
State Printer. Choose between them.

CAuTIoN.-The speech Of Senator Douglas de-
livered in Congress, March 10th, is being extern
sively circulated from secession beadquarters.--
But they are careful not to send forth his speech
delivered at Springfield, H., on the 25th of
April, an extract from which we copy
"Aready, the piratical flag of the Confederate
States is unfurled against our commcrce. and the
navigation Of the Mississippi is obstructed and
we are required to pay tribute at its mouth. The
question is shall we allow this to proceed or meet
the oppression. He said there was no cause for
this rebellion; that no evidence had been pre-
sented that their institutions were insecure; that
fugitive slave laws were never executed with
more tirmness than recently at Chicago. Are we
TO inaugurate the Mexican system in the United
States? Had the candidate Of the disunionists
been elected, and the Republicans of the North
rebeled, would have used my best efforts to
crush them. The first duty OF American citizens
is obedience to the Constitution and laws, in my
opinion. 1t is our duty to lay aside all party
creeds and platforms until we have rescued the
country from its assailants"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1861-08-31
To the Editor of The Trinity journal.

Your correspondent " Timour," Of Lewiston,
informed the public in your last issue of accu-
sation made against John p. Jones, and prompt
ly and justly stamped it as gross falsehood He
says it is asserted that Mr.. jones' together with
the Breckinridgers concocted scheme last year
to nominate Fred. Walter, and then " throw off"
on him, and thereby elect me to the Assembly.
d" TmOur's" request of you, Mr.. Editor, to do
Mr. Jones the justice to set him right on this
groundless accusation is complied with fully as
far as you are concerned by publishing his letter
and adding your own testimony that you know
nothing Of the matter referred to. Such com
bination could scarcely have been formed in our
community and be entirely unknown to you.
But lest that may not be sufficient TO satisfy
all, will add that too, the party most interest
ed am perfectly ignorant of any such scheme,
and do not believe it ever formed. The
slander-for such it is--could have been caused
by nothing but desire to injure the prospects Of
Mr.. Jones for the Sheriilalty
OF the candidates for Sheriff this year, | find
an array of War men, " coerconists." all of
whom FOR THEIR POLITICS ought to be defeated.
There is nothing to choose between them all
are for continuing this hOrrid slaughter of our
cOuntrymen. Personally people have preferen-
ces Some of those who coincide with me in po-
itics, are very bitter in their opposition to Mr..
Jones, for personal reasons and private grudges.
1 bave no such motives to actuate me against
any Of those candidates, and therefore acting
upon my likings and my Judgment, rather than
upon my dislikes or prcjudces. | prefer Mr..
Jones for Sheriff above any man in the county
that there is the least possibility Of electing.
AS my name used in the accusation ! do
not consider myself at liberty to remain silent.
and thus tacitly promote the injury of an old
friend and high minded gentleman
Respectfully,
JAMES GALLAGHER.
