Subject to thc decision of the Democratic National Convention, to he holden at

Charleston, South Carolina.

ATTKNTION DEMOCKATS. The Democracy of Union township are requested to meet in convcutiou ou Saturday tlic 3d of September, for the purpose of transacting important business.— It is earnestly desired that every Democrat in the township will make his arrangements

as to he present on that day! It has been suggested by many that the township Kelcct their candidates on that day instead of waiting until the day ofithc county con-1 vention, when it would be impossible from want of time to make a fair and satisfactory decision. We are inclined to favor the suggestion believing that it is the fairest way to arrive at a satisfactory choice. The matter can be discussed on the day of thc meeting, and if it is thought expedient, the vote can easily lie taken and a choice noon arrived at. In the meantime the several candidates can rally their friends and the one that has the longest pole on that day will of course knock the persimmons. To the candidates wc say pitch in.

tsr Wc received a call a few days nince from the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks. Mr. 11. has kindly consented to be present at the Democratic Convention on the tenth of next month.

It was soon ascertained that the Professor had cffcctcd a landing 6vc miles from town, on the farm of Mrs. Bencfiel. Thc Professor was brought to town by Dr. T. W.

DISSATISFIED.

We understand thit Win. H. Newton and Judge Holloway are: very much dig* pleased a| a little article' which appeared in our last issue, in which we expressed our belief, that David Ridge was the strong,cst man that had yet been/named for eounjjty. Auditor by the Republican party. Our reason for making the statement-was, that jMr. Ridge had always been successful, when a candidate, in carrying Union township, a feat which few of the Republican nominees have ever had the good fortune to achieve, and one which Wm. H. Schooler, one of the most popular men in the county, invariably failed to do. These gentlemen who are so much displeased with our remarks, contcnd that Thomas Powell is by far the most available man. They say that he can carry Democratic votes that no other Republican can command, that.his appointment of (Newton) appraiser, will of itself secure a Jarge'inumber of votes from the ranks of the Democracy, that James

Gilkey, the present Auditor, will give him his support, and that his inveterate hatred and contempt of Old Liners will enable him to carry the entire strength of the Republican party. If all of these allegations are facts, Powell certainly, is a man of very heavy calibre, and with such backing as Newton and Holloway can give him, he will probably out-bid Ridge in convention, and may possibly succeed in running a creditable race. Mr. Ridge's friends on the other hand, contend that he is the strongest man in the county, that the hostility of Mr. Newton cannot certainly injure him more than a hundred votes in the county, if he should sec proper to bolt, and that his nomination is equivalent to an election. With all due allowance and respect for Mr. Newton and Judge Holloway's opinions, we must beg to differ with them in their conclusions, and still assert our belief that Ridge is the only man in their party that has the ghost of a chancre to succeed in the coming election. Tbe hard-bone work that he has performed for Jiis party, and the money that he has spent in successive campaigns, justly entitle him, in our humble judgment and sense of justice, to the nomillation.

When I first saw the prince, bis frame had all thc slcndcrness and fragility of infancy. There was a paleness of the cheek and a languor in the expression of his eye., thatindicatcd a great delicacy of constitution. At the time I first saw, him he was just springing into manhood, and took great delight in military exercises, of wTiich he had attained great proficiency/, His attention to his military duties—he having great ambition to excel—soon devoured his feeble frame, and it was in the last month of his life, while he was sinking beneath the ravages of his disease, that I was called, upon to attend him as his body servant, and often did I wheel him about in his garden chair among thc leafy glades of beautiful Schonbrunn—attending him until he breathed his last sigh, in the same apartment his father had occupied when flushed with the glories of the conquest of Vienna. It was a cruel story, that the Napolconists circulated all over Europe," said Max, "of his being poisoned by order of his grandfather. Never did 1 behold such affection as existed between the aged Francis aud hi^ grandson. Never did a day pass, during the last year of his life, when time could be had.from official duties, that, his grandfather was not by his side for hours, lavishing on him the most endearing epithets and the most devoted attention.

The Prince was evidently very fond of his grandfather, and often used to speak of his affectionate kindness with tears in his eyes. I have said that he took great delight in military exercises. It was on the 18th of June, 1S31, that thc Prince, who had been appointed Lieutenant Colonel, took the command of a Hungarian regiment, when in garrison at Vienna. I was present, with an immense crowd, who had come to witness the spectacle. It was very evident to all, when he first made his appearance, that Death would soon claim him for his own.

He did not appear to have any religious views at least, if'he had he never expressed them.. After his death, a post mortem examination, justified the apprehensions of his physician.' One lobe of the lungs was nearly gone, and while the sternum was that of a mere child, the intestines presented all the appearance of decrepit age. This alone would have been sufficient to refute the silly stories about his having been slowly poisoned.

A VISIT TO VICTORIA BHIDUi:. "Sentinel" writes the Courier and E/i~ quirer an account of a recent visit to Victoria Bridge, which, he says, will certainly be completed by November next. All thc piers are above water, except one, and that he visited on board the steamer Heaver, employed in the work: «?_

Thc cribs which are first with huge weight of stone put down, as security for thc greater cribs, are respectable in their own department. They will fight the current where the boldest fluke would be torn from thc anchors. To this the oval framework is secured, and this filled, so as to be water-tight, is pumped out, ami in this great well thc masonry is laid. The bot torn found, the busy fingers of the steam engine move with the mason's skill, an amid thc fierce waters the great pillar goes up, to endure thc battle with thc ice of a climate that brings the mercury to thc bulb, its winter fight its only real work, the burden of a thousand trains unheeded by thc gigantic granite. Thc stone-work in its laying is in thc comparison easy, it is thc preparation in which is the vast.difficulty of the undertaking.

TIIE TOMB OF RACIIEL. Thc Hon. James Brooks, thc senior editor of the N. Y. Express, writes to that journal from thc II0I3- Land:

Upon my return from Bethlehem, I rode by the tomb of Rachcl—a small building with a whitened dome, and having within it a high, oblong monument, built of brick and stnetoed over.- The spot is wild and solitary, and not a tree spreads its shade where rests thc beautiful mother of Israel. Christian, Jew and Moslem all agree that this is just thc spot where Rachel was buried, and all unitc in honoring it.

The Turks arc anxious that their bones may rest near hers, and hence their bodies have been strewn under tombs all around the simple grave of Uachcl. The sweet domestic virtues of the good wile have won their love and admiration, as thc tomb of Absalom, near thc brook of Kedron, their detestation—upon thc latter they throw a stone to mark their horror of the disobedient son, while round the former they wish when they die, their bodies may be interred.

Nor is this wonderful. Thc wife, worth fourteen years service as a shepherd, must have been worth having. Thc whole life of Kachcl is, indeed, one or' the most touching in Bibiical history. The sweet has left her mark upon the

trial and its triumph. I observed 0:1 the tribute to her i.s ilie tribute tu a good .e, land Infidel, .Jew and Christian all combine to pay it. Tito groat women of the earth !—ihe "-rohias ami (.'Ieopatras have died,
