A personal difficulty, between Mnj.

rather intemperate newspaper disrussion of

nssuuied somewhat of a threatening ehnrneter
one day last week. "Pistols ami eoffee"
were talked of, hut it was finally determined
to leave Ilie funner out of the hill

-Board of Honor," to whom the matter has
lieeu referred, in a few days.

the people of this District. A meeting will
l?e held, we suppose, on pale-day. with a view
to representing the people of Ahhevjlle, or

A Warning to Farmera.
Messrs. Editors: I think it proper to
set forth a few farts, as near na I can, according
to the information tImt I have rweitcd,
| and leave it to your wisdom and prudence
whether to publish them in the Independent
Press or not. My design in stating
these farts in the bemfit of any (if there
'should Iks such) who mnv have as litile in!
formation as I had of the harm which cows
I are liable to sustain by eat:i?g sweet pota
iimh, wucn decayed or partially no.
Recently I had 5onu? potato bank* opened,
ntnl found them largely decayed. Then*
was a considerable amount t?f them thrown
?iut to tjie hogs. The milch cows ami sto?'k
1-attln pot to thorn ami at". IIow many, 1
know not. The cattle were in goo*! keeping,
ami 1 kely ate heartily of them. N?.r
should I have prevented it hail I l?eeu present,
as I never ha?l heard, that I can recollert,
of decayed potatoes injuring cattle.
Soon after they had ate of the potatoes one
and another were taken sick, and in Jew
than a week seven head died. Ten in all
were made sick, hut three are likely to recover.

to hi* in great di*tn*Mi from h ?liftv*ulty in
breathing; and after they were dead, upon
opening two of tliein, their lung* were found
lobe b-tdly congcsotd. We never could attribute
their sickness to anything other than
'he use of the potato in a decayed condition.
If you are disposed to insert those faets,
hiuI any one nlioulil tabu warning from it,
[and use sufficient caution to prevent tin*

Anti-Oonvention Fallacies.
It is a favorite argument with those who
opjuksu represent at i m ill the Cincinnati Convention
that tlie South will hut go there to
roister the fdiets of the northern nuijoritv.
inasinueh asthe nou-?l;tvt?h?>l.liinT >st..r..c
will number 17G electoral votes to 120 from
the Southern State*.
Let us look into the matter, and see how
much reliance is to ho placed oil an argument
mi ad captandum.
The v?-ry object of holding convention*
is to harmonize discordant opinions an>l
unite distracting elements. Such being the
purpose, of course it is with a view to syccess,
else the tronhlo and expense would
j never b<* inured of traveling ureal distani<'?,
neglecting business, ami submitting to
incident annoyances and discomforts.
Out of tln< twenty one States that held
elections in 1855 fourteen went. Democratic.
Excluding ?lHv?-lioldiii!j State*, let us
put down those Northern State-* of this
number, and from the figures our
chance in the Presidential election of again
becoming victorious in them.
Pennsylvania gave a Democratic majority
of 10.000; Illinois 20,000; Maine ;
Indiana 11,000; New Jersey ; Wiseonfthi
1,000. Here are six Northern
States reasonably certain for the Detnwratic
nominees, and wielding an electoral vote of
71. Bcsides-thew. how-ver. the probability
is strong that New York. New Hampshire,
and Michigan will also be carried by
the name party?swelling the Northern -support
to 117 voten. So that instead of 176
unintetesicd votes in making the nomination,
we And that 117 Northern electoral
votes are directly interested in making thtbest
peleciion possible for sticcejs.
Hut still, sav the objiN-tors, Massachusetts,
Vermont, ft id genus omne, who enn en?ertain
no hope of securing the choice of Democratic
eleiiors, will neu tralize, on the question
of choice, the certain support of Sou'li
Carolina and Georgia. Admitted. "Hut
will not the nam*' ohjeetion lie against the
deletrate-t from Kentnekr. M*r\-lHiul
forn?a and IMaware? ea?-h of wliii-h in al
irwxt equally certain to go anti Democratic.
It !? a mistake, tlc-n, to <-o?nt the South hk
certain ?nd the North as uncertain in the
result of the Presidential <-onte*t. Sul?tracting
the votes of theae four Stntcp,
which WHiitatmnglv Know No'hiiig in the
lH*t election, and we reduce the-Democratic
electoral vote of the Sonthfiom 120 to OS.
A?, then, thene 03 nre. indisprnsahle to tbe
MUrrw^tlie candidate\of the party,, they
ne.-??iiarily acquire controlling influence
over the Con ven? ion. N?> *ane nrin
