Signs of Activity.

Potomac" the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Savannah Ne,OS, gives
this encouraging information
The Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, of which General RosecIans is the
nominal, and Representative Flower the active
head. Is commencing to show signs of activity.
Mr.. Flower has mapped out plan of work and
real operations have commenced. A good many
documents have been selected for printing and
distribution, and some of them are ready for the
mails. Contributions of money have been unu-
sually numerous. In fact, Mr. Flower says that
lac i, going 10 make a very lively fight in the
fall campaign. Ii is Ia be hoped that he will.
Hitherto the fighting of this committee has
been with the mouth Ia Il very large extent.
One document which will be circulated, and
which will doubtless do good. will be a resume
OF the work OF Congress under Democratic rule,
and The record Of plundering and failure to re-
lieve the tax payers, which has been made by
the Republicans since their return to power in
the legislative branch.

A Walton county correspondent OF
the Mariana Courier writes: The NOM
nation of Col. Davidson is well received
here. Many of us have known his man
ner of life from his youth up, and we feel
sure that the honor and interests of our
District are always safe in his hands.
He carries with him the prestige of sue
cess, having never been beaten for any
office, and we firmly believe that victory
will again perch upon his banner"
1t is announced that Hon. Alexander
ii. Stephens will go into the campaign
during August and September. He will
visit all parts of Georgia, and will speak
from his rolling chair. An exchange,
noticing this statement, remarks: "In
consideration OF the fact that MIR. Ste
phens will have but little if any opposition,
the spirit he shows in making an active
canvass under great physical disadvan-
tages, is an example worthy the considera-
ton of younger and healthier men,"
A Philadelphia correspondent Of the
New York Times speculates at considera-
Bile length on the probable result of the
gubernatorial election in Pennsylvania
should all the candidates remain in the
field. He thinks that the vote for Mr..
Stewart, the Independent Republican
candidate, will be anywhere from lOO,-
600 upward" The correspondents con-
clusion is that Beaver, the regular Re-
publ can nominee, will be beaten by Pat
tisOn, Democrat, by an enormous plural
ity."
Savannah Ne'cS, August 4th: "The
Georgia Radical brethren still do not
live together in harmony by long shot.
Yesterday the Pledger faction, styling
themselves the regulars met and en-
dOrsed Gartrcll for Governor, and put
ticket in the field on which the colored
element largely predominated. The Bolt
ers,' under the leadership of Longstreet,
Farrow 4 Co., held also a convention,
anu pldCtu d lICkeI Ill the Helu ue
regulars assert that they intend to put
men on the stump everywhere, and make
a vigorous campaign. The indications
are, however, that they will have to do
more stumping against their own party
than against the Democrats"
= The South Carolina Democratic
State Convention met at Columbia on the
LIST inst. and nominated a full State ticket
Hugh 5. Thompson, of Greenvllle county,
was nominated for Governor on the
second ballot He is grandson of Chan
cellor Waddy Thompson, who, for about
twenty five years, was one of the Judges
Of the Court of Equity of South Carolina,
and nephew of General Waddy Thomp-
son, who was for long time member of
Congress from South Carolina and after
wards minister to Mexico during the ad-
ministration of President Harrison. John
Calhoun Sheppard was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor. The other nomi-
nations were as follows: For Attorney
General, Charles X. Miles; for Secretary
of State, James n Lipscomb; for Comp

A MARROW ESCAPE WITH LIFE
Two ssar and a Deer K,l1sd.

James Scott. James Dunn and Stroud
Long went over to the Alsea last week
hunting. While travelling along the side
of q mountain short distance apart leading
their horses seeking tor game, large piece
of bark some ftesn or twenty feet long and
four or Ave inches through, came loose from
an old dead fir tree on the side of the noun
tain above them and came tumbling along
down the side Of the mountain towards
them. It seemed to be aimed in the direc-
ton of Messrs Dunn and Scott who were
near together. Shortly before reaching
them it appeared like it would certainly
strike them and their horses and knock
them hsadlong down into the chasm below;
but fortunately before reaching them Its
own weight broke it into three pieces one OF
which struck just in front OF Mr.. Scott only
few feet, another piece fell just behind
Mr.. Dunn and the third piece came between
them, missing all of them and no one being
injured. If either piece of it had struck
any of the party ii would havs.killsd them
so suddenly that no one but his friends
would ever have learned what had hurt him.
The result was fortunate and no one hurt.
The party killed two nice fat bear and a
deer on the trip and arrived home last Sat-
urday.

A shoW-She was Actually Wound up.

A show appeared in our town Last satur.
day night in regard to which some of the
Portland papers made extra efforts in order
to say something in praise of their perform
ance. We must confess, however, that we
cannot appreciate such meaningless nonsense.
One of the characters, lady, played the
part of doll having been wound up. But
the effort was certainly al objectionable
mistake because from all indications it ap-
peared in very prominent manner to all
present that one of the other characters on
the stage at the same time had been wound
up a long time ago, as matter of fact, without
any feigning to play that any such thing had
occurred The character alluded to might
very properly play the part of remaining in
secluded quietude until a elimination of
the natural result of things would Operate
to relieve heripresent prominent appearance
and with the timely assistance of proper
nurses to care for her, and leaving the new
advent into this world to be cared tor by
other hands, the mother might be able in
a few short months to appear on the stage in
q presentible condition, with something like
girl like proportions.
