LETTER FROm HONDA. MBL. TH ‘Sep n ' Gentlemen: Yo vor, informing me my nomination as the candidate of the Demo cratic party to represent the First District in the next Congre was duly received. Ap preciating aoe a e peer upon me by the voice of the Con eeees grateful for this mark of enix’ accept the nomination. “Ti” id sufficient to say oft the platform Sere ad eens the National Convéntiom exy and unequivocally the great principles upon which we make this canvass, that I have noth ing to add to it, and most heartily accept it in all its terms. The great and pressing need of our’country is the assurance of peace. Few people ever felt its necessity more,’ and none ever more earnestly desired it. To secure a permanent peace, we must have a union of the States upon equal terms, and a wise, and ‘economical administration of the Government within the limits ‘of the Constitution.’ His only in the Democratic platform that we find any guarantee of these essential principles. Let us then bury forever all past issues, and banishing all personal feelings and prefer ences, unite our most earnest and zealous efforts to secure the success of our great na tional cause—the cause of the Constitution and the Union, and its most worthy cham pions. With these secured, we may hope, by the Divine blessing, soon to see our loved and suffering South enter upon that career of prosperity for which a kind Providence has 80 eminently fitted it. If we fail, the future is indeed dark and gloomy, but we shall re tain the conscious satisfaction of having done our full duty.

Poor Cartotta.—The last news from the Empress Carlotta represent her condition as growing worse daily. It was;hoped her re turn to her natal air would have exerted a beneficial infiuéage; and ié did ‘at first! But a reaction has a place, and 8 Gouidition is now quite hopeless. ‘Heretofore, in her severest fits, she was always, amenable to,the Archbishop of Malines, the spiritual father of the family; but now his presence fails to ex tract one ray of light from her clouded intel lect. Her health is giving Way. Her embiow point has become excessive, and she rarely rises from her bed. Frequently she utters the most heart-rending cries—caused less by physical pain, than by fear or madness. The prevailing idea with her is always the same: that someone is trying to poison or suffocate her. Re-Estasuisument of Lieut-Housrs.'No tice is given by the Light-house Board that light-house station ‘*Two Li ” at Wolf Island, Georgia, has been re-established and light will be re-exhibited in the evening on October 1. 1 The lights dynection with the helahaa bewong to be used as ranges in crossing Doboy bar and into the sound.

We direct the special attention of all per sons, white and black, to the article headed “The Slave Trade and Carpet-Baggers Again,” which we copy from: the Mobile Re gister. It now seems to be well ascertained that the Yankee carpet-baggers in the South have been, since the close of the war, enti cing negroes on vessels in Southern ports and running them off to Cuba, where they sold them as slaves! We are glad to learn that the government of the United States is now investigating the affair, and that the truth will sooner or later be established be yond controversy. Ravican —The Atlanta learns that most of the “prisoners such as the DeKalb county jail escaped one night this week. ‘They foréed their way out with a crowb ar, but we were not informed where they got the crowbar.
