Mr.. Clingman gives good news from the Western
portion of the State. He is confident of decisive
Democratic victory in August next and believes that
by unity and harmony the Democracy can also
carry the State in November:

without regard to their individual preferences, to
sustain the Democratic electoral ticket already in

might defeat the object which every Democrat has
|at heart No one acquainted with our electors can
doubt but that if elected they will do whatever in
Itegence and patriotism may indicate as best cal

fwe shall have decisive victory in August, and

postage stamps and not money shall be used in the

WEATHER, CRoPs &c-We have had several light
but very refreshing showers during the past few
days; and although the corn has doubtless suf
fered some, we trust it will yet "come out" and
make an average yield. We learn that drought has
prevailed not only in some Eastern counties, but in
nearly the whole Western portion of the State
Much of the forward is too far spent to ever
recover, but with good seasons from this time out
the later paintings will greatly improve. The last
five or six weeks will long be remembered as the
hot season of the summer of 1860; the thermome-
tier often going up to 100 degrees, and sometimes
more. A Johnston farmer informs us that few


weeks ago his prospect for 800 barrels of corn was
better than it now is for 800.

Congress, after a session of storm and noisy
talking, adjourned on Monday last, june 25th.
Very little has been done for the good Of the
country. The Black Republicans have had con-
troll Of the House of Representatives; and the
main object of all their abors has been to gain
votes for their party in the coming Presidential
election. For this purpose they brought charges
Of corruption, not merely against the Democratic
party but against President buchanan himself
They appointed Committee of Investigation,
which, at great expense to the country, employed
a host Of clerks, and summoned as Witnesses
from far and near all those disappointed Office
seekers and ofice-holders, and contTacors, who,
for incapacity or villany, had been discharged
from the public service, and who, in the bitter
ness Of their hearts, had turned to sting with
false testimony and lying assertions, the hands
that had fed them. And what has Mr.. Covode's
Committee provcdy Nothing against Mr. Bu-
chanan absolutely nothing at all, unless it be
that they have shown the country to what
depths of dirtiness this Black Republican party
can descend. So long as this party with one
idea maintains its ascendancy in the House, so
long will the South be neglected, and abused,
too; SO long will the chickering's and heart burn
ings between the sections grow warmer and
more frequent; so long will the already strain
ing bonds of Union grow less and less strong;
till, if the control of the Government passes
into its hands, the weight of wrong and injustice
will snap the once strong bonds asunder; and
the South, relying upon the inherent goodness of
her cause, and upon the "God who giyeth the
battle to the right" will loosen the cords of
Union, and step forth to be one mighty in
the ranks of nations. Heaven grant the
North may awaken to the dangers which /
threaten the Union Of the States through
the fragrant injustice of thisBlacb Republ .
can party Heaven grant that the good and
true men there may come TO the rescue
boldly and speedily; and that the coming /

We suppose it to be sober fact that it is the


intention of the 0ppositionists of Mississippi to


ascertain, by the test of actual experience, how


many men there are in the State who can be


persuaded to declare, through the ballot box,


their preference for The two very respectable old


gentlemen whose names are above set down, for
the offices of President and Viee-President Of
these United States.


We do not suppose it has ever entered the
mind of the most rabid 0ppositionist among us
that his ticket stands the remotest chance Of
succeeding in the State; but we can readily COM
prehend the motives by which some of the more
prominent of the wire-pullers among them are
actuatcd. They are impeled forward in their
present course by an undying hatred Of De
mocracy. So fierce is this feeling, that they
would prefer to see the country plunged in ruin,
even though they were themselves involved in
the general destruction, rather than permit that
party which they 50 abhor to control the govern
ment Indeed so far arc they carried by the
tide of their unreasoning prejudices, that they
suffer their leaders, without rebuke, to appeal to
them not only to preserve the Union as the SUI
prcme good, but to submit, tamely and in silence,
to all the aggressions, whether actually perpe-
trated or only threatened, which the North has
in fcted and holds in reserve for us. 1t has ac-
tually been declared, within few weeks past,
publicly, from the stump, in Mississippi, by
Bell and Everett candidate for the Office Of Elee
tor, that the South has really no grievances to
complain of at the hands Of the North, while
the North, for many years, had been quietly
submitting TO manifold aggressions at our hands;
and that, if We of the South would but "bchaye
ourselves" the North would afford us no just
cause of complaint! How much worse than
this, or in what particular differently from this,
we would like to be informed, would a man talk
who was on the electoral ticket Of Lincoln and
Hamlin? And how many votes can be pro-
cured by the employment Of such appeals, we
would also like to know; but we suppose we
must wait until after the election for official infor
nation on that head. In the meantime, let each
of our readers solemnly ask himself the ques-
ton, whether he is willing deliberately to aid the
mad schemes of men who address them with |
such arguments as those just indicated. v

A Bull FIGHrs A LocoMorIvE.-The 9th,
er day, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle,
pluckey little bull, who lives on the line of
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh railroad about
six miles from Wheeling, was grazing about
near the track and picking the fresh grass
blades out from between the ties, when he
heard locomotive coming down upon him.
The locomotive whistled for the bull to clear
the track, which the bull made an effort TO
do, but being closely crowded by the iron
horse, and not being disposed to show the
white feather, even to a superior and frey
opponent, his young bullship turned about,
paved the earth, bowed his head, with the
determination to give his pursuer the best he
had in the shop. The engineer seeing this
put on steam enough to knock the bull sky
high. The two came together with terri
ble crash. His bullship was Knocked INTO
an indefinite number of small pieces and
the engine was thrown from the track.

This was the exclamation of stout, hearty
but lazy young man, the other day.


Now, suppose you had capital-what would you
do with 1t! Let me tell you, you have capital
Haven't you got hands and feet, and body and
muscles, and bone and brains, and don't you call
them capital? Oh! but they are not money say
you. But they are more than money. If you
will use them they will make money, and nobody
can take them from you. Don't you know how to
use them? IF you don't it is time you were learn
ing. Take hold of the first plough, or hoe or
jack plane, or broad axe that you can find, and go
to work Your capital will soon yield you large
interest. Aye, but there's the rub, you don't
want to work you want money credit that you
may play the gentleman and speculate, and end by
playing the vagabond; or you want plantation of
negroes that you may hire an overseer to attend
to them while you about the country and
dissipate and get in debt; or you want to marry
some very rich GIRL who may be foolish enough to
take you for your fine clothes and good looks, that
she may support you.


Shame upon you young man! Go to work with
the capital you have you'll soon make interest up
on it, and with it to give you as much money as
you want, and make you feel qike man. IF
you can't make money upon what capital you
have, you couldn't make It if you had million of
dollars in money. IF you don't know how to use
bone, muscles and brains, you would not know how
to use gold. If you let the capital you have lie
idle and waste and rust out, it would be the very
same thing with you if you had gold; you would
only know how to waste


Then don't stand about like great helpless
child, waiting for some body come and feed you,
but go to work Take the first work you can find,
matter what it is, that you be sure to do it like
Jim Gray did his drumming-we Yes, man
age the capital you already have; you will soon
have plenty more to manage; if you can't or won't
manage the capital God has given you. you will
never have any more to manage. Do you hear?

Every one perhaps has heard of the sympatnies

instances might be multiplied to a considerable
extent, showing the active benevolence Of some

existence of a combined intelligence in creatures

Vocal ExERcIsE.--I will here introduce
fact which has been suggested 10 me by
my profession, and that is, that the exercise
of the organs of the breast by singing, con-
tributes very much to defend them from
those diseases to which the climate and
other causes expose them. The Germans
are seldom afflicted with consumption, nor
have ever known one instance of splitting
blood among them. This, believe, is in
part occasioned by the strength which their
lungs acquire by exercising them frequent
ly in vocal music, for this constitutes an
essential branch of their education.-.IDr.

should not he obeyed, inasmuch as it would
mean simply a command to commit the crime
of treason, 10 which he and his men would be
subject to, and would deserve the penalty Of
death. Upon this admission of fidelity to the
United States authorities the Black Republi-
