Messrs. Kditvrs :?It was my good fortune to attend a political dinner at this place, on the 4th insL, and thinking that a short account of that affair might be acceptable to3*our readers, I have thought fit thus to take the liberty of addressing you. The meeting was numerous and respecta ble, there being some 2,500 or 3,000 persons present, and was called to order by the Chairman, Dr. Powell, at the hour of ten o'clock, a. m. The Hon. Win. P. Chilton was then introduced to the meeting and proceeded to bring forward a bill of indictment against James Buchanan. This bill of indictment consisted 01 twenty-six charges of the most frivolous until re, such as the war of 1812, Federalism of 1815, low wages, old bachelorism, <fcc. This was bro ight forward with the evident intention of occupyingMr Clopton,a time in r*plv, in order that Mr. Hilliard (who was to follow Mr. Clopton) might make a rhetorical display and not an argumentative speech. Judge Chilton took ilia Beat, anna expressions or disappointment from friends nnd foes. To say the least, it was a poor effort. He never alluded to Mr. Fillmore's Congressional or Presidential career at all. Mr. Clopton aroso amid the greetings of his friends, who were largely in the ascendancy. He then requested thein not to applaud, as his time was short and lie wanted it ail. He then cjilmly and effectually refuted the leading charges brought forward by Judge Chilton. And such charges as "old Bachelor," "ten cent man," t&c^ he passed over with that silent contempt which they justly merited. lie then took up the position which the Fillmore and Bnchanen parties held before the country ; he proved clearly to the minds of all impartial men that the Democratic party was the only one which had redeemed Its pledges by giving justice to the South. He took ibis seat ajpid loud applause*, and the meet ing then adjourned for dinner. The dinner reflected great credit on the managers and the liberality of the surrounding country. After dinper the discussion was again resumed by Mr. CI op ton. lie alluded in ^owmg terms to the respective merits aijtd p?t?4teer.of tho two great candidates for the Presidency, and I need not tell you low bright appeared Buchanan compared wiUi IwTKwe. He then took occasion to allude to lit5 ceJ$br&i?t} "Obfppd MwtfpbU? * which Judge Cliilton had pleased to style 1 the "Robber's Flea." Mr. Clopton rend | from the Manifesto and showed how Mr. Buclian, a Northern mnn, had recommended [ that whenever the safety of the South dei manded it, that Cuba should be obtained by [ purchase if possible?by force if the great right of self defence demands it. lie then j denounced in withering language, the man who would call this the Robber's Plea. The shouts that rent the air showed that the audience fully agreed with him. He then called on Mr. liilliard when he would . rise to address the audiencc, to tell them why it whs that the twelfth section was left out of the February platform at Philadcl, phia ! and also why it was that the Ameri can party of Alabama had abandoned the , position assumed at Montgemery, in Fcbru? ary, 1856 1 The lion, gentleman then took J his seat amidst great applause, and the , i names of Buchanan and Breckenridge were ] ' borne aloft by the enthusiastic crowd, i It being now late in tlio evening, a great many persons began to leave, and by the ] time that Mr. Billiard got through at least one half had left. Mr. Milliard's speech ^ was otic of that character which I expected. 4 It was merely a rhetorical display, lacking that depth which marks the statesnfifn, and that argument which should characterize 1 the logician. He never even attempted to answer Mr. Clopton's queries, but whiled *] away his time in relating anecdotes, and then complained of the shortness of time!

Eraly one morning, while Mr. G. wiw miking around the square, where the mehanics' house now stands, John Smith, who ad worked on his buildings in the humble apacity of hod carrier, and who Mr. G. had oted for his unusual activity, applied to im for assistance, when something like the >llowing dialogue took place. "Assistance! work, ha! You want to ork r "Yes, sir; it's a long time since I've had ny thing to do." "Very well; I shall give you 6ome. You ( ;e dem stone yondare V* "Yes, sir."

A Little German Story. A countryman one day returning from the city took home with him five of Mia finest peaches one could possibly desire to see, and as his children had never beheld the fruit before, they rejoiced ovor theiu exceedingly, calling them the fine apples with the rosy cheeks, soft, plumblike skins. The father divided them among his four children, and retained one for their mother. In the evening, ere the children retired to their chamber, the father questioned them by asking, "How did you like the soft rosy apples?" 'Very much indeed, dear father," said the oldest boy, "it is a beautiful fruit, so acid, and yet so nice and soft to the tast; I have carefully preserved the stone that I may cultivate a tree." "Bright and bravely done," said the father ; "that speaks well for regarding the future wiLh ro nnrl la - F ?? ? *"-"" " .'6 "* " youne husbandman." "I have eaten mine and thrown the stone away," said the youngest, "besides which, mother gave me half of her's. Oh, it tasted so sweet and so melting in my mouth." "Indeed ! " answered the father, "thou hast not acted prudently. However, it was very natural and childlike, aud displays wisdom enough for your yeare." "I have picked up the etone," Raid the 1 II.. I ! 1 owuiiu unv, which my little brother threw away, cracked it, and eat tlie kernel, it was as sweet as a nut to the taste, but my peach I have sold for so much money that when I go to the city I can buy twelve of them." The parent shook his head reprovingly, saying, "Beware, my boy, of avarice. Prudence is all very well, but such conduct as yours is unohildliko and unnatural. Heaven guard thee, my child, from the fate of a miser. And you, Edmund ? " asked the father, turning to his third son, who frankly and openly replied, "I have given my peach to the son of our neighbor, the sick George, who has had the fever. He would not take it, so I left it on his bed, and I have just now come away." "Now," said the father, "who has done the best with his peach ? " "Brother Edmund ! n the three exclaimed aloud; "Brother Edmund ! " Edmund was still and silent, and his mother kissed him with tears of joy iu her eyes. Kansas Exaggeration*. liy the Columbia Statesman, dated August 29th, we have new9 from Kansas Territory, from which we learn that the late wars and rumors of wars heretofore published, were all extravagantly colored, and in many instances were most violent misrepresentations of the truth.

A terrible calamity lately visited this island , ?a place of resort for Lousianians, in the ' Parish of Terrebonne, on the Gulf coast. 1 The island is of ahorso-shoe form, the con- ' i vex side facing the Gulf. The concave, or 1 what is called the rear of the Island, is cut 1 up into numerous bayous or back bays, t all connecting with a shallow lake in the ' rear, which, in turn, connects with the Gulf J at each end of lllG Island. "Wlinrn t principal hotel stood, and the numerous cot- 1 tages erected in its vicinity for tlie conveni- 1 eneo of the summer visitors, the Island, * from the Gulf side to the back bay, is but a I few hundred yards wide. The length of the ' island is from twenty to thirty miles, its j width one and less. 1 There was a storm on the Gulf. The 1 wind being from the southward and east- 8 ward, suddenly swept the waters of the 1 Gulf around the east end of the Inland, rap- n idly filling up the bays and lakes in the ^ rear. So sudden was the rise, that it was f said for some time the waters from the rear 11 rose at the rate of a foot a minute! While the waters in the rear were rising with such ' fearful rapidly, the waves from the Gulf * side of the narrow* strip of land were making fearful breaches over tho ridge, and thus, before the unfortunate residents had p time to prepare for escape, if even that ..... ^vnnuio, ui iu v:uiHciii|'imeuieir peril- | ous position, tliey were hemmed io between the rush -of waters in front and rear. Many, it is said, sought safety in the hotel and other buildings adjacent, thoso buildings . being considerably elevated. This, howev- , er, furnished them with but a temporary asylum, as the houees were soon washed away, burying all those who sought shelter an fliawi in ... viu uiid uuiiuiiuu ruiii. It is thought that upwards of one hun- ^ dred persons were lost by tho submcrg- 0 ing of "Last Island." " Compliment to Printers. '' John C. Rives in a recent published let- ^ ter, on the subject of public printing, has a word of suggestion to writers for the press, and of compliment to the "jour," whose du- j: ty it not uufrequcntly is to make Bense out <] of very senseless Chirography. None but a j writer for the daily press can comprehend ti how much truth there is in the veteran h printer's remarks. Many members of Con- ai gress, and eke not a few greater men, must ^ have been surprised at the respectable figure [j they cut in print, without thinking of the toilsome labor and the exerr-isR nf tho hotter .1 ?? II talent than their own, which had been ex- j pended by the "jour" printer in licking into 8j shape the message, report or speech fur- tc nished by tbem. Mr. Rives says : I have seen tbe manuscript writing of fa most great men of the country during the p, past twenty years, and I think I may say that no twenty of them could stand the test ra of the scrutiny of one-half of the journey- fQ men printers employed in my office. This fact will be vouched by every editor in the Union. To a poor 'jour" many th a "great man" owes his reputation for schol- di arship, and were the humble type-stickers bi to resolve, by concert, to set up manuscript so in their hands, for even one little week, pre- ca cisely as it is written by the authors, there in would be more reputations slaughtered than n< ?.1.1 ~i?? - v.. uvflio WUIU 7IHIKU a SLICK.

We do wi not mean that he should collect pictures or and poems, and other dainty wares in a th splended folio, but that he should obtain a P< large and plainly but substantially bound folio of light cartridge paper or of wrap- bi ping paper, eo well iDade that it can be written on. Tlien let bira cut, or direct his 1 children to cut, from fits country paper, or th from the Mercury, everything relating to fa< agriculture on which he can lay his hands, th To avoid confusion, aod for the sake of ref- hr erence, ho would do well to devote a portion U1 of the book to each subject, arrange them ca alphabetically. Thus, under the A (Ji may come general remarks on agfictiltnre, of apples, Or any other farming subject!begin- th mng with A. Plenty of roont afcoafrl be .p left in the margin for the farmer to write down any remarks of hi* own.
