To the Public.

The undersigned hereby announces to the public
generally that he has determined to withdraw from
tile Union League. having found no benefit to hin :
self in that connection; and believing that the
Democratic party embraces his best and only
friends in this section, will hereafter adhere to
that party. My Radical friends need not be sur

and seriously before taking this step.

A BEAUTIFUL AND CONSISTENT RECoRD.--The
special correspondent of the Charleston Nen,
writing from Chester, gives the following particu-
lars concerning WALLACE, tho Radical candidate
in the Fourth District:
Before closing III 8 communication, would men,
iicn hat the Radicals nominated a. S. Wallace
of York, for Congress, who since the war has
heen blatant Unionist, and thereby bccnmc Uni
ted States Internal Revenue Collector. He swal-
lowed the test oath without the slightest sign Of
strangulation, although it is said he assisted in
raising Il company for the war. He is n most un-
scrupuluus man, and will use any and every means
for his election. To show the stupidity and ig-
norance Of the negro. no better illustration be
given than the ch, Ice Of this man Wallace as their
candidate In 1858 he introduced into the Legis-
aturc bill to sell the old free negroes back into
slavery. One would suppose such political re-
cord as this would have damned him with them
forever. Wheu however, the very choicest Radi-
cal is one who was formerly negro trader, one is
not astonishcd that Radical Congressman 20 be
pcrhaps) should he selected, whose strongest re-
oo;nmendation is that he set on foot the most un-
inst and odious measure ever attempted, La wit:
10 sell people into siduery rho born free, and
their freedom guaranteed to tLsin by The laws.

GEORGIA TREATMENT OF scALLAwAGs.

The political cauldron in our sister State is boil
ing over with indignation against those rccreant
sons OF the South disposed to tnhe advantage of
the times, by seeking noioriety and Office ut the
hands of the heretofore dominant party. Politics
over there always did engender more or less bitter
ness and we are not surprised that the scallawags
are handled roughly. An incident occurred the
other day, at Democratic meeting, worthy of be-
ing tranfrcrrel to our columns, and especially re-
markable when we consider that the Club embraced
fifty whites and ffty-four blacks. The following
resolution was adopted by the meeting explains
ITSELF
Reso,ped, Having learned that Judge Wm Glib
son, formerly of this county, and formerly looked
upon as q gentleman. and honorcd by the people
Of this county, has allied himself with tho Radical
party and condcscendedt to do its dirty and bloody
work, in circulating incendiary documents to the
effect, "that negroes who vote tie Democratic
ticket will be put back into slavery = We, hereby,
publicly denounce him as a Radical cmissary and
.propagator of lies, and totally unworthy the trust

MoTHFR sCARY's CHIcKENs.- Mariners
consider that the sight Of the petrol pre-
diets storm, and the reason for its APP
pearance is thus given: g Because petrels
seem to repose in common breeze; but
upon the approach, or during the continu-
alton of a gale, they surround ship, and
catch up the small animals which the agi-
tated ocean brings near the surface, or any
food that may be dropped from the vessel.
Whisking like an arrow through the deep
valleys of the abyss, and darting away over
the foam crest Of some mountain wave,
they attend the laboring bark in all her
perilous course. When the storm subsidies
they retire to rest, and are no more seen.

The Pope.

The Holy Father is now in his 18th
year. He is of the middle height, or
slightly above it. The air of Rome and
his sedentary habits have given him an
embonpoint, not, however, enough to in
convenience him, and which disappears
under his ecclesiastical costume. His
hair is white, though thick his forehead
large and prominent; the eyes deep set,
and flashing with strange light; all the
features are strongly marked, but in har-
mony with each other There are no wrin-
kles on the face; the complexion is slightly
colored, but transparent. The mouth,
somewhat prominent, gives to his whole
physiognomy an expression of gentlcnes:
and extraordinary y b nevolence. Had Piu.
TX. been prince, instead Of holding the
highest place in the Catholic hierarchy, i
might be said that his visage was marked
by that good nature which Stcndhall de-
clares he has never yet met with in Ital
ians. Everything about him shows ex
traordinary yigor, and the the longest Ger
emonies do not exhaust him. He takes
walk every day ON foot in the Pincio q
