The Massachusetts Democratic Con-
vention assembled Oh the 1st in perfect
harmony. Ben. Butler in response to q
motion to nominate him for Governor by
acclamation, respectfully declined the
honor. He did not wish his fellow citi--
zens to believe that he had quit the Re-
publican party in order to seek Office.
He desired to work in the ranks for soma
time to come, to show bis loyalty to
Democratic principles. Chas. p. Thomp-
son, was nominated for Governor. Alpha
f. Thompson for Lient. Governor Mi
chael +. Donohue, for Secretary of State,
and Francis J. Parker for Treasurer.
The best Of feeling prevailed and the
Democracy Of Massachusetts, are going
for Hancock teeth and toe-nail. Ben.
Butler never goes down with a sinking
ship. Hurra for the strong side.

Strange to say, wherever soil enough can
be found to cover the grain they plant
right in the rocks and iron ore and the
production is wonderful, often yielding
forty bushels of corn to the acre. The
iron ore is said by Biologists to be "drift
ore" and to contain but little metal, but
this is not true as it has been found in
abundance by the deepest excavations
and is Of the richest quality. In the city
of Florence l met with truly peculiar
and rare genius, by name, Prof. Prusros-
Xxi. He is German by birth, having left
the Old Country thirty years ago, on ac-
count Of political troubles. A graduate
of one Of the first Universities in Ger
many he afterwards received the degree
of LID, though never practiced law in
America. For many years he was Pro-
fcssor in the State Normal School, and
in every respect he was q polished schol-
ar. When young his eye was slightly
crossed and falling in love with beau
tilul girl, she told him to have this de-
feet corrected and she would be his wife,
accordingly his eye was operated upon,
but sadly the leader wasentirely severed
and his eye then was no more under his
control, but moved about at random,
giving him most unnatural appearance.
He never went to claim his bride but
gradually became womanhatcr. Civ
ing up his Professorship and abandoning
his books, he lives a hermit. in solitude,
filth and wrctchedncss. His time is
spent in making ornamental work and
painting, for he is an artist. He has dis
covered process by which he will take
the plain gourd from the vino, dry it,
and with composition Of sawdust and
eggshells, etc, makes the most beauti-
ful vases, flower stands, jewelry boxes,
etc, all ornamented and polished to
represent the most costly and elegant
wares. He is great politician and
though he never goes out into the world,
he keeps well posted Oh all subjects. (Ex-
cuse the diversion.)
The State Of Alabama will give
Gen. Hancock more than Is, 600 majority,
there being only three counties in the
State to give any trouble or opposition
and three of the right sort Of leaders
could set these all straight without the
slightest difficulty. The Greenback party
in this, as in our State, is but a branch
of the Republican party and is working
solely in its interest.
Respectfully, SINNER.

Morehouse Clarion Aaron Morrison,
colored, of the 9Th Ward, was in town
last Saturday, and from him we learned
that on Friday evening last two colored
men engaged in working the road just
below Oak Ridge, became engaged in
a friendly play. A fight ensued, one
went off, secured a gun, came back, and
shot the other to death. The murderer
fled. He had forgotten their names.

The census Of South Carolina is to bo
verified, SO it seems. 1t is very strange,
indeed, that the South will, this year,
produce two millions of cotton bales
more than in 1860 if the population that
raises them has not increased, especially
when it is considered that thousands Of
blacks no longer till the soil, neither Ia
their wives. The white labor that is
shown by tho census is doing the work.

Nix. EDlToE.-fyou will permit me
at this late date, will begin my prom
ised correspondence This seeming neg
lect on my part, was caused by circum-
stances over which ] had no control.
Leaving Baton Rouge July 22d, we
reached New Orleans on the evening of
the same day and visited that celebrated
place Of resort
THE SPANISH FORT
The large and spacious buildings,
lonely walks, rustic scenery, artificial
lake and fountains, together with sweet
music, rendered the sight truly beautiful
Atone glance, under the mighty power
of the electric light, thousands Of per-
sons could be seen walking, talking,
eating, drinking and conrtins. It re-
minded me of tales of fairy lands or
dreams of the imagination. The music
was led by our old friend and baker
Bernard Moses, formerly of Clinton.
The electric light, which of course all
your readers have seen, proves imprac-
ticablc and will be ofno benefit further
than as u curiosity, or to show what can
be done. 1t requires a sixteen horse pow
er engine to run fifteen lights and aside
from the expense of an engineer, fire
man, fuel, battery, wires, lamp, etc, it
reQlres-cents worth of carbon for
each lamp, burning eight hours, or about
twice as much for the carbon alone as
would cost to burn gas or oil.
$50 a. m., of the following day found
us putting away at the rate of 30 miles
an hour, on the Jackson route for Grand
Junction. Theregion ofconntry after lea
wing the Louisiana swamp, is hilly and
almost barren, and the crops as a general
thing very poor. Some places in Missis-
sippi and Alabama, may say, without
exaggeration, will not yield q peck of
corn or one hundred pounds of seed cot
ton to tho acre, while the average crop
is about 500 pounds of cotton and eight
barrels Of corn. 1t was u noticeable fact,
that for miles back, on either side, the
timber was entirely gone, and on inquiry
we found that it was sold for a mere
trltic, in some cases So an acre, and TEN
p0rary railroads ran out in different
places to convey the timber This is a
sad mistake OH the part of the land
owners, and will eventually ruin the
country. After a journey of twenty -four
hours, crossing the Tennessee river lust
above the shoals, we reached Florence
and there rested and rccupcratcd as the
guest Of kind relatives. We visited va
rious places in North Alabama, Bailey's
Springs among others. This we found Il
most delightful summer resort, in very
many respects. The Springs are said to
contain powerful medicinal qualities and
are cxcellently situated. At one place
saw five different kinds of water, free
stone, lime stone, sulphur powder and
chalcbiate water, all flowing from the
side of the same mountain and from un-
der the same rock and all within radi-
us Of fifteen yards. The Spring at Tus-
cumbia is by far the largest have ever
seen. The water comes out from the
rock four feet deep and twenty-five feet
wide, clear as crystal and almost as cold
as ice. This region of country is famous
for it's springs. rocks and mineral ores

Southern Sentiment

When some two wears ago GOV. COlquil,
OF Georgia, appointed eX-Gov. Joseph f.
Brown to till the vacancy in the United
States Senate caused by the resignation
of Gen. John b. Gordon. the protests Of
the press and people Of Georgia were 81 Il
very decided character. Politically GOV.
Brown was not in accord with the d0mi-
nant party, and thus in the opinion Ot
many was little better than "a traitor to
the State In other words, he was not
and is not a Bourbon Democrat. Strange
to say the Georgia Legislature has lust
elected Coy. Brown to the Senate by a
large majority; and still stranger is it
because of the sentiments to which he
gave utterance just before his election.
On the evening before the election Gen.
LaWtOn and Gov. Brown made addresses
to the Legislature Gen LaWton was
the candidate of the Bourbon element ana
Coy. Brown of the progressive element.
Coy. Brown defended his course in accent
ing the amendments to the Constitution
as fixed facts in lSj-. and declared that
if he was sent back to the Senate he
should not expect to ''sit and fold his
arms and represent the sentimentality OF
the State He proposed to DO all in bis
power to encourage the agricultural re-
sources. develope the mineral resources
and foster the manufacturing interests Of
the State. He urged the Importance Of
education, and in the course of his re-
marks on this head said: ave must also
educate the colOred race, and they ought
to be educated for the benefit Of the
Union and by the friends of the Union.
(Applause.) Would devote the proceeds
Of the public lands to this purpose on a
basis of illiteracy. The colOred people
are citizens and we must do them Justice"
Senator Browns progressive sentiments
may be supplemented by some quotations
from a recently published letter from
CoAeol toSiil'ti ~ w Sdll AlhtIl, VI toOulu
Carolina. Addressing the editor of the
Greenville. 5. c., News, he says: II
know more about the rank and file Of the
Northern Democracy than all the editors
OF South Carolina, and never had any
faith in them. They are a party with a
name but without principle" And in
conclusion
need not worry you with long episte but
will simply say believe the South in Congress
should have nothing to do with partisan entangle
ments but stand aloof until the time to vote an q
then, upon all questions of national importance,
cast solid vote for what they believed to be right
ocratic or Republican in partisan sense In this
way we would help balance OF power that would
result in our being courted by both parties North
and enable us frequently to dictate terms upon
important issues
When candidate for the United States
Senate can utter such sentiments before
Southern Legislature as those to be
| found in Gov. Browns address, and re-
ceive hearty and general applause, and
when Congressman from South Carolina
writes such letter as that from which
we have quoted, it is pretty evident that
the solid South, in an Objectionable form,
no longer exists, and that the days of the
Bourbons Of the South, as we'll as of the
North, are numbered.
