Associate Justice of the Supreme Court

Associate justice OF the supreme COuIt
1t will be perceived that we have hoist
ed the name of Orsamus Cole as cur can
didate for Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court. In doing so, we believe
that we but reflect the views of a large
majority Of the Republicans of this coun-
ty who are well satisfied with the manner
in which Judge Cole has discharged his
duties upon the Bench 1t is proposed
by some to ostracize him for decision
that he felt called W on to make upon what
is known as the Farm Mortgage Cues
ton" but We have no sympathy with any
such movement. It is not charged upon
Judge Cole that he was actuated by any
improper motives. or that he decided
contrary to bis honest convictions in the
case hence we think that be should not
be prescribed for his opinions in the mat
ter whatever they may be. Once con-
vince ls that Judge is venai or that he
is working for popularity and losing sight
of justice and the rights of litigants in his
pursuit of fame. aud we will go as far as
the farthest in dragging him from the
Bench which he disgraces instead of
adorns. As no argument of this kind is
urged against the election of Judge Cole,
We see no good reason why he should not
be continued in the position be at present

Can This be True.

The Charleston correspondent Of the
New York Tribune has letter in that pa
per Of the 18th, in which the writer very
broadly insinuatcs that Maj Anderson has
been playing into the hands of the traitors
from the first. He asserts that it must
have been evident tc that officer for the
past two months that the South Carolini
ans were hemming Lin in so as to render
reinloreements impossible. Yet with this
fact staring him in the face, be has contin-
ued to iuform the Government that he was
in no need Of reinforcement or supplies.
and could maintain himself against any at
lacking force All of sudden, however,
the Government is advised that be Las ra-
tons enough for fifteen days only, and that
starvation is staring him and lis men in
the face We confess there are some sin
gular features in the case and that every
thing dooo not lock it should Still we
do not wish to impugn the motives of Ma
jor Anderson unjustly, or call in question
his gallantry ard patrIotism. We hore
the sequel will show that all bis movements
have been dictated by wisdom aud that
he las rot been guilty Of the duplic-
ity charged upon him by the correspon-
dent Of the TfG1a5e.

A Pertinent Question.

The Cornith (Nliss. } AaUertiser says:
The question is not what Mississippi
must do to enable her to defend herself
out, but how she is to get back in the
Union. with as little dishonor to herselfas
possible.
That is matter that other states than
Mississippi will find it both profitable and
honorable to look into. Though
they have been forced by dema-
gogues to cut loose from the Union, and
tie masses of the people have been COM
PEELED to acqui. see in the suicidal policy
adopted by their leaders, yet the sober
second thought, which is sure to follow,
will not be long in bringing them to a
proper understanding of their true position
Their only salvation is inside the Ameri-
can Union, and so long as they remain out
Of it, or refuse to yield obedience to this
Government, they must of necessity con-
tinue in the deplorable situation they are
now in. If they will but consult theil
own good they will return after while
the wiser and better for their many follies
and indscrt tons.

about the late Bishop Bowman, we will add
to what we said last week, the following
facts: The failing health of Bishop Potter
preventing him from attending to all the
arduous labors of his diocese, the Con-
yention of the church, in May 1858, de.
tormined to elect an Assistant Bishop. On
the 2sth of the month, on the sixteenth
ballot, DR.. Bowman was elected, his prip-
cipal competitor having been Rev. A, Il.
Vinton, d. d. Although DR., Bowman was
voted for by the High Church party, he
has never been regarded as an ultra man,
and he was beloved and respected by all in
the church. He was consecrated August
25th, 1858, SO that he filed his sacred Office
less than three years.
DR.. Bowman was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Sitgrayes, of Wilkes,
barre and his second wife (who died some
years ago. was q daughter of the Rev.
Joseph Clarkson of Lancaster county, A
daughter is the only descendant who sur
viyss him.

p0- In the night of Sunday last, the
long looked for rain came slowly and gent

ued until the ground was completely satu-
rated with moisture. Each blade of grass
each salk of corn, hundreds OF little rills
parched and dry, sucked in and accumula-
ted the falling drops, Hope deferred had
made the heart sick as each coming even-
ing showed no substantial sign of the rain
for lack Of which the country was SO very
greatly suffering.
LAY after day the scorching August noon
Upon the Earth had poured its steady ray;
The Dogstar ragged throughout the burning day,
Nor did the sultry night afford the boon
OF cooling breeze-Nor did the changing moon,
Proverbia Of ofinconstancy repay
Our fierce desire for change Nature gave way
And man, and beast aud plant, all mportune
For rain. At length it came "A joyous cry
Arose to HeaveD-The shout-"It raius!" at rains I!
