Manrson Srarvas, Ga., August 15, 1856. ‘There is but little company here this season, not- withstanding it is the most pleasant watering place tm Georgia. The wide spread drought, and the con- sequent gloomy prospects of the planter, have doubt- Jess had their effect in keeping the people at home. We have had rain the past day or two, but with this exception water enough has not fallen for the past eight weeks to do more than to lay the dust and cool fe air. J is like passing through a furnace to fwavel over our railways. In many places corn is Bterally burnt up, while the cotton is very small and enpromising. The yield of cotton must be small in Georgia; it is now too late to make an average crop, even with the most favorable season henceforward; and there is not one planter in ten who will not find it necessary to look to Tennessee and the West for eorn and provisions. We are just entering upon what promises to be an exciting canvass in this State. The democra’s, feeling secure in their ascendency, have been slower ‘han is their wont in taking the field; they are now, however, marshalling their forces. Mhe fiends of Mr. Fillmore, on the contrary, have gone vigorously to work, and are already in- @ustriously canvassing the State.

A federalist, then the friend of General Jackson, the prince of democrats; a tariff man, so far as Per lvania ‘was interested; the opponent of the annexation of Fexas, but for the fact that its acquisition would be “the means of limiting, not enlarging, the dominion ef slavery;”’ the upholder of Congressional inter- vention in the Territories upon the subject of sla- , as shown in his letter to Sandford, of Mobile, im 1848; the advocate of eye entry ay in his and ua the letter of acceptance; the part author of stend Manifesto, in which national brigaad are unblushingly proposed and justified; and the m candidate of tne reckless adventurers and —— and tricksters who as- in the “Black Hole of Calcutta” —ein, uch 4 man, with such antecedents, and surroande and influenced by such radicals as Sanders, Sickles & Co., it is not to be wondered at that his nenina- tion should be received with Polar coldness im the South.

They ere generous aud just-minded, though their — sentatives are not always 80; and they fee! that i the Cincinnati programme is carried ont it eannct fail to involve the government in the most serious complications with other ceuntries. [t will wot do to point to Mr. Bachenan’s “moderation.” He indorses the platform, and if we interpre: that imetrament by his Ostend circular, we cannot bat conclude that he would be an unsafe depository of exeentive functions and power.

The South owes you a deep debt of gratitude for the hitherto able and fearless advocacy of her peculiar institutions ; and until a few months ago your entire editorial course wae highly conservative and patriotic, giving entire satisfaction te every section of our confederacy. But when the soilers and nigger worshippers, | the bitter enemies of the South, met in general | convention and placed the name of Mr. Fremont in 20m jon as their candidate for the Presidency, 0 sudden change came over the spirit of your. dreams, and your readers were surprised at the sudden change im your tacwcs.

It was essential that the prieinle for whici. they ——— contend should of kindred nature with the principle really in- volved in controversy; or they would not be able to confound the lesnes of she canvass in the popular apprehension. It was also necessary that the vlut- form on which they pretend to stand should em- body the anti-slavery prejudices of the North, with- out announcing the extreme views of the abolition perky. It was important, moreover, that they should contrive to place the South in an attitude ot irene usurpation, so as more fiercely to inflame jealous ‘ions of their section.

The South cherishes no ambition of sectional ag; ment, avd conceived no hostile ente: against tve interests of the North. We ask nothing of the federal government but tection in the enjoyment of our indisputable rights. We do not desire to impose our peculiar social sys tem upon any other commanity. We do not ask the North to aid us in the extension of slavery. This is our position : we have a compact with the States of the North. by which we are bound to the States of the South as co-equal sovereignties, and to render them a certain specific service. We de- mand the fulfilment of the obligations of the con- stitution, and we demand nothing more. These obligations are too distinct for misconception. The South claims no inferential advantage and no con- structive privilege. It stands upou the strict letter of its right. So far from convicting the slave States of an am- bition to extend their ins:itutions and to assert a su- premacy over the free Sta‘es, the history of the coan- try ia but one consistent record of Souchera compro- mise and Soutbern concession, The area of slave ter- ritory bas not been extended a single acre, On the contrary, an empire of slave ter:ivory haa been con- verted to free svil, and that too by the voluntary act of aslave State. Virginia set the example of conces- sion by the ordinance of 87.

To these concessions on the part of the South we must add ita consent to the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Colombia; and as another inetance of its moderation, we may mention the fact that the Sou‘h never objected to the emancipation of slavery in the Northern States. Yet the Svath has as much right to object t» emancipation in the North aa the North has to complain of slavery in the South —nay, more, for emancipation ende gers the securi- ty of the Sonth. but slavery in the Soath does not ——_ affect the interests of the North. It is-ensy to anticipate the reply to this vindica- tion of she character of the Sonth. Black repubit- caniem pretends to tind in the repeal of the Missouri restriction incontestable proof of the section l am- bition smd aggressive spirit of the South. Tuis is ano'her false impeachment of the motives of the South. if ove revert to the speeches of the enpport- era of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, we find a dis- tinet and — disavowal of any aggressive purpose on the part of the South.” Tne repeal of the Missouri restriction was not incend- ei a9 a measure of slavery extension, but of atonement to the constiwtion for am outrage ite spivit, and to the Sovth for a violation of ita nabteand dignity.

TRIP TO BEDFORD SPRINGS. Brnrorp Sranas, Pa., Aug. 18, 1866, The Way to Get There—A Safe Passage Through the Jerseys —Arrival at Philadelphia Improvement in the Morals man in One Stage, dc., dc., éc. Bedford Springs are celebrated all over the United States for their wonderful healing properties, and are visited by invalids from every part of the country. At present they are the resort not only of the health seeker, Dut the officeseeker ‘“‘a hungering for spoils;” for be it known to the readers of the Hmnatp that James Bucha- nan, late Minister to England, leader in the Ostend Con- gress, and next President of the United States—if he should not be defeated—is here in the fall enjoyment of his otium cum dig. and the mineral waters. From Lan- caster to the Springs it is about one hundred and fifty-six miles, and from New York the Springs are © stant three hundred and nine miles. Now, it is eviden. chat if ‘@ distinguished character like the standard bearer of the democracy were to start from the form or place about ‘a week ago, he would arrive here some time before your correspondent, who left tho great city but last Friday. And so it happened that the Hon. James Buchanan, the Sage of Wheatland, made his appearance first at Bedford, and had been drinking its healing waters some four or five days when your correspondent presented his auto- graph to the proprietor of Anderson’s Hotel, or, in com mon parlance, entered his name on the list of guests. And now that he is here, he will give you a few inklings of his adventures by the way, @ rapid railroad sketch of what he saw and what he heard. Summoning up all his courage, he entered precisely atten minutes to six jast Friday afternoon one of a train of cars bound from Jersey City to Philadelphia over the Camden and Amboy Railroad. Some two hundred other daring and reckless individuals took seats in the came train, and from 6 o’clock till 10 Commodore Stockton had them in his power. In his mercy he allowed them to get to Philadelphia without the usual sncrifice, and it is a fact particularly deserving of mention, that of 80 many indi- ‘yiduals they all escaped without loss of life, and it is to be hoped without loss of baggage. The same good fortune which attended your correspondent in bis perilous pas- sage through the State of Jersey followed him on his ar- rival in the Quaker city; his pockets were not picked; he ‘was not forcibly dispossessed of his valise by despotic porters, and the hackman charged only half a doliar for driving bim toa hotel. For all this he was devoutly thankful, and saw in it @ hopeful prospect oi Yhiladelpbia becoming in time a tolerably re- spectadie city to pass through, if not to live in, On hia arrival at the hotel he was inform- ed that he would be one of two occupants of a double bedded room, and on mildly objecting to this proceeding he was mercifully assigned an apartment of limited di mensions on the sixth story. ‘Halt past seven the next morning was the appointed time for the first train from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, but something catled a body bolt having given way, it was eight o’clock before it started. Away it went at last ‘at ibe rate of twenty miles an hour, and about ten hours after we reached Huntingdon, catching glimpses on our way of “Lemonplace,”’ ‘‘Bird-in-hand,’? and about half a dozen other villages with names no leas expressive and remarkable. They were all dull looking enough, and the streets and houses had a quiet, retired, Sunday look that would be shocked by anything like enterprise. One of the passengers got out at Lancaster, and having beedlesely looked at a sign over a store informing the public that lager bier might be had there for the asking and the money, be was pursued at least half a block by the keeper, who had been lying in wait for a customer. Such enterprise deserved to be patron- ised, but, like humble merit, it was withont its reward, and the train left him as poor as he was before it enter ed the town. A few minutes’ delay at Lancaster, and we are on our way towards Harrisburg, where we change cars and get a dinner of the most dyspeptic looking viands at an exorbitant charge. But we can forgive the Harrisdw for this, in retern for the beautiful scenery with which it is surrounded, and which more than coun ter balances all the shortcomings and extortions of that caged of its citizens who live on the travelling public. valley of the Susquehanna is hardly interior in beau- ty to that of the Hudson, prt it {s of a ajfferent character at least that portion of it which is visible from the Pennsylvania Railroad.

They have all made their morning visit to the spring, taken their usual draught, and the bell having sounded, are marching in a sort of funeral procession to breakfast in the spacious dining hall, Even bat old gentleman with the white clerical necktie, who never appears to be hurried about anything, looks, as he brings up the rear, more lethargic than ever. Ho has been in the habit of visiting the springs every year about this season, except when official business has taken him out of the country, and at present he hag not been home more. than two or three months from a sojourn in England. That old gentleman—seventy years old at least —is James Buchanan, the Sage of Wheatland, late United States Minister at the Court of St. James, and the candi- date of the consolidated democracy for the Presidency. He came here alone, but he is now surrounded by ac- knowledged office seekers, who come to pay their res- pects to him, and who flatter themselves that he is des- tined to be the next President. On this point he has, it is said, serious doubts himself, and is sadly perplexed by the way in which his dangerous rival, John C. Fre- mont, is carrying everything before him. He shows himself, however, very seldom, for he is closeted the greater part of the time with his political adherents; and when he does make his appearance he has @ careworn look, as if he did not sleep well at night, and the waters, or something else, did not agree with him, Whatever may be the“cause of it, those who have been im the habit of seeing him every day for the past five or six weeks, say that he is losing coniidence ‘as the time approaches for the Presidential election. Yet in company he is, notwithstanding al! his cares and appre- hensions, quite an agreeable old gentleman, and although ‘an inveterate bachelor, he manages to make himeelf very sociable and pleasant with the ladies. One evening he even carried his amiability to that ex- tent that he not only went into the ball room, but walked through a cotillion and did wonders at ‘‘ hands al! round.’”” His style of dancing is certainly not remarkable for its elegance and grace; but then, like himself, it belongs to the old school, and is rather antiquated for the present age. And yet Buchanan is eaid to be = great ladies’ man, and in his younger days was noted for his gallantry to the fair sex: but he is beyond all hope now, and should he be elected President, the White House will be a rather desolate looking concern, with no wo- man’s smile to light it up. For the enlightenment of his political admirers, t may be well to state that Mr. Bu- chanan polks a little, and it is also hinted that on one or two occasions be was known to indulge in waltzing. Now this is e matter of peculiar interest—a subject to reflect ‘upon—in connection with the display he made at the Os- tend Congress, and the serious business w!:\ch he had en- trusted to his charge while in England. But even in danc- ing, it seems, he is governed by that regularity and preci sion for which old bachelors have always been meted. He never dances more than three cotillone—the mysterious number three—and bas such strong objections to the cheat-and.jig tbat no consideration will induce him to stand up in that figure. In the ball room he is the ob- served of all observers, and every one, except the boys who are engaged in light skirmishes ‘n and out of the room, and are amusing themselves Dy sticking pins in each other, and such imnocent recreatiour, appear to re- gard him as the centre of attraction. ° On Sunday ‘last we had divine service in the reception parlor of the hotel, when Rev. Mr. preached a sermon, taking for Lis teat the comparison made by our Saviour between the kingdom of heaven and a pearl of great value. . Buchanan was present, and appeared to deeply interested in the discourse. The reverend speaker commenced by giving the natural Listory of the pearl and the menner in which it is procured; in fact, one-half of the sermon was devoted to this subject, and st was described with a minutenes* that would have done credit to the most learned naturalist. “It 's necessary,”” he began, “that I should first tell you something in re gard io tie pearl, so that you may fully understand the meaning and application of tbe text. It is, then,” sald be, “the result of a disease created (o the an.mal | the introduction of a foreign betance with its food. It sometimes bxppens thata grain of sand is taken into the stomach, producing aa irri- tation there, when the oyster, unable to expel it, re- Ueves itself by covering it Uver with « eecretion, which ip process oftime, bardena and increases in size till it sometimes atiains the bulk ofa wainut.”” The reverend gentleman then proceeded to inform his bearers that the pearl oyster was found on the coasts of China and Call- jornia, and at a depth of six or eight fatnome; that ie occupation of Gshing or div: for thom was perilous anc very lajurious to health, and that te divers were some- times smovbered to death by the length of time which they were obliged to remain cnder water. He algo gave some interesting historical facta in regar to the pearls; told how Philip the Second of Spain became pos sessed of one worth one bum and Oy thou- eand collars, and how the celebrated Cieoratra had another valued at four buudred thmsand. Now all this was peculiarly edifying, and the au dience appeared to be very much !utercsted, particalarly Mr. Buchanan; but when the preacher came to make the Aapplicauon thelr interest abated connderabiy, and | fear ‘thac the moral ghee very Uttle effect, The ladies ap peared to be all absorbed in the account of Cleopatra's ‘ar’, and des) ite the moral lesson inculcated—the worth- eesneas of woildly wealth, &e.—they looked aa if the jewel o!

Upon Puchapan it seemed to baye been equally in- I, and when the preacher told how necessary it 08 tbat men should abandon all carihly possessions, hopes and prospects, be appeared to be thiaking more seriously of bis prospects in this camy thas of any- thing else; and so far as resigning his chance for the Pre eideney is concerned, he will, f have ro doubt, remain an infidel untd the election ‘is over, when he may read we fable of the fox and the era wita some profit. He says that he is not ambitious of the Presidency, but that he \s willing to accept it as the only means saving the country from disualon, that he would much rather have passed the remainder of bin Life bis farm, but if necessary, he will ree pond to wh f the people, and devote biraself during the even of his exitence to their service.
