A Democrat of the Jackson School.

On Monday last in the Cochran House,
while nearly two hundred of our most
substantial citizens from all parts OF the
county, were awaiting the hour for COM
mencing the annual meeting of the Sus-
sex Insurance Company. political dis
cussion occurred, in which Col. Sam Fow-
Ter figured as the most prominent dispu
tant. None but De ocrats took part in
the controversy, and the wordy war was
characterized blythe most inviDcible good
humor. Col'F. said that our government
was a gosernment of law, and If any CON-
bina ton of men dared to set the laws at
naught, they must be reduced to subjec-
ton, and the power Of the Government
be fully sindicatsd. Any other course
would only result in snsrcby. He scou-
ted the doctrine of peaceable Secession as
detestable heresy, without foundation
in common sense or in any rational expo
sitlon of the structure and design of the
Constitution. He condemned the precip.
itancy of the Cotton States, in unmeas-
ured terms-denouuced their seizures Of
national property, &c, &c., and, review
ing the many recent instances wherein the
Seoessionists have trampled the good old
star spangle6 banner of the nation under
foot. be said be felt like reseDtiug the out
rage by the strong arm Of military power.
"They are spelling for 6g BIT down South"

has always preferred fighting to quarrel
ling, would be willing to accommodate
them in their belligerent desires. Once
made to know their weakness, he thought
they would be prepared to listen to reas-
on. mo doubt" he continued, 'the bones
of Andrew Jackson, are now rattling in
the grave, because of the imbeoiIe, spirit
less, and temporiziDg policy which has
been pursued to propitiate armed and
treason.
The language of the Colonel seemed to
magnetic the crowd, and bis antagonists,
who had extolled Cancellation and com-
promise as the true remedies for the cri.
sis, soon found themselves completely in
the vocative.-S SusSer Register.

"The whole number of organized yolup-

force of the State is about three hundred

Of the above, there are about 2 500 US
kets of the new model, 200 improved RI

swords. The balance OF the arms are IN
fit for active service in the field, being
mostly the heavy old Hipt-lock. which, in
using, are as likely to iDjure the possessor
as any one else. The 90 pieces of ord
nance are in good condition, with the ex-
cePtion OF their carriages, many of which
need repair, aud others ought to be en-
tirely replaced. Thus will 1t be seen that

The Trenton Democrat says one of the
largest business establishments in that
city, recently accepted an order for large
number of gun carriages, supposing they
were for the use of the U. S. Government,

rebels of Georgia, and refused to execute
the contract. A prominent Democrat

The Paterson Guardian Gays that two
men, we'll known in Paterson, have been
sacrificed to the mob violence of South
Carolina. The names of the murdered
party are Andrew Ackerman and -
Bartolf Both have worked about Sad
die River and other parts OF Bergen Coun
ty. Mr.. Ackerms an was the son of John
Ackerman of Ramapo, near the New Y ork
State line, and the other was of the Bar
tolf family, who reside in Bergen
County. They had gone down South to
work at their trade, and, when the Seces-
sion broke out, all business stopped, and
they concluded it was best for them to
come home. They had accordingly com.
pleted their arrangements for returning
to the North; but had to wait several days
for their money, and it was during this
time they were arrested as spies and hung,
their arrest, trial, and execution, having
all taken place within one hour.
The first intim alton that was received
concerning their fate came from the man
for whom they bad worked. in the viclni-
ty Of Charleston, who, finding out what
had been done and where Bartolf's faith
er lived, wrote statement of the circum-
stances, regrettiDg the affair, and saying
that had be been informed or time been
allowed the suspected persons, their inno-
cence might have been established and
their lives saved. An agent has been
dispatched by the friends of the deceased,
and it is supposed the remains of the un-
fortunate young men will be brought on
for interment. Both were clever and In
dustrious mechanics, and were unmarried
men. Concerning smother young man
who was with them at the time and form
ed one of the party, nothing is known'
and it is believed be too was in some way
or other disposed of by the trsitors who
hold high reyel now in the City oil
Charleston.

To Make Barren Plum Tree Bear.

Early in Spring fasten strap or cord
tightly around the body of your young
tree near. the first limb, and let it remain
all Summer. This will check the upward
flow OF sap. and often promote bearing.
Also cut back the ends of the leading
shoots, say the middle of June, SO as to
induce the form alton of fruit buds. The
effect upon fruiting will not be seen until
the following season.
