Mr. Breckinridge Lietter of Acceptance. j June 13, 1856 Sir: The National Convention of the democratic party, which recently assemb led in Cincinnati, unanimously nominated you as a candidate for the office, Tof Vice '. President of the United States. ! You have already informally accepted the nomination, but we deem it appropriate, under instructions of the convention, to communicate the information officially in their name. We also solicit your atten tion to the resolutions adopted by that as sembly as expressive of the views and pol icy of the democratic party in relation to the important public questions involved in the approaching presidential election. ' The convention; have associated your name with that of an eminent an experi. enced statesman, under the conviction that, although your public career has been brief, yet that it has commanded the confidence not only of your party, but the . country, and that your talents and patriotism will essentially aid in illustrating the principles and in firmly establishing the wise and generous policy of j the democratic party. I We tender to you personally our sincere congratulations upon this distinguished ' proof of the public esteem, and remain, with assurances of profound respect, Your fellow-citizens, JOHN E. WARD, W. A RICHARDSON, HARK V HIBBARD, W. EL LAWRENCE, -t J: ' ' - A. Gl BROWN, ' . JNO.IL manning, ' JOHN FORSYTH, ! ! J. RANDOLPH TUCKER, HORATIO SEYMOUR, j ; 7 W. PRESTON. . Hon. Jxo C. Breckinridge. ; . Lexington, Kt., June 28, 1856. f Gentlemen : I have received your letter of the 13iu inst, giving me official 'infor tnation of my nomination by - the Demo cratic National Convention for the office of Vice President of the United Slates. I feel profoundly grateful to the democracy for this distinction so far above my merits and expectations, and accept the nomioa tion, with the pledge that if it should re sult ia imposing on me any public duties, I shall exert whatever power I possess to , discharge them with fidelity. , jj j The convention wisely selected jj for the first place in the government an eminent statesman whose character and public ser vices furnish a guarantee that his admin istration will command confidence at home and respect abroad. 'The platform adopted by the Jconven- tion has my cordial approval. I regard it as the only basis an which the Union can be preserved in its original spirit Adopted, as it was, by the unanimous votes of the delegates from all the States, it shows that amidst the distractions of the times there remains one united and powerful organiza tion whose common principles extend over every foot of territory covered by- the fed eral constitution. ! After the recent repeat ed and deplorable) failures of other parties , to present to the country a national organ ization, we may I justly congratulate the . States upon the unanimity wbich marked the proceedings of the democratic conven tion ; and the patriot may point to the fact, as a pledge of coristitunat union, that the delegates from Maine and Texas, from South Carolina' and California, were as thoroughly united upon every question of , principle as those from neighboring south ern States of Tennessee and Kentucky, or ; those from the neighboring northern States of-Wisconsin andj Michigan. g s This community of sentiment, this feel ing of brotherhood, gives hope of perpet ual Union. It has been the happy fortune of the democratic party, by adhering to the constitution, which Was roads to pro tect us all, to avoid the . geographical and sectional issues against which Washington solemnly warned bis countrymen j - and.we have every reason to believe that it is yet equal to the high duty which no devolves r on it of preserving the eomlfctftiott, and maintaining the rights of every portion of the confederacy, ilf the unsound elements which troubled it for a time have sought congenial associations elsewhere, the loss has been more than supplied by accessions from the flower of the old wbigj patty; . and thus reinforced, it will be the s destiny of democracy, under the lead, of then? dis tinguished chief, to maintain the bigh po sition of our country before the world to preserve the equality of every class of ciu lxens to protect the perfect kbcrhj of con science and to secure the peace of the Unionj by rendering equal justice to every part. ' With sincere acknowledgment for the friendly personal sentiment contained in your letter, I am, respectfully your friend and obedient servant. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE. Messrs. Ward, Richardson, Hibbard, Law rence, Brown, Manning, Forsyth, Tucker, Seymour, and Preston. . . A MAGNIFICENT NIGGfER. Dickens gives the following description, in a late number of the "Household Words," of a dandy dafkey he encountered in a Paris restaurant: 1 would have borne "half a hundred dis appointments similar to this dinner, for the sake of the black rtiatt. Legs and feet, he was a character I He sat opposite to me, calm, contented, magnificent, proud. He was as black as my boot, and as shiny. His wolly head, crisped by our bounteous mother Nature, had unmistakably received a recent touch oi the barber s tongs. He was perfumed -he was oiled he . had moustaches (as I live I) twisted out into rats tails, by means of Pommade Hon groise. He had a tip; he bad scarlet Tur kish cap, with a long blue tassel ; he had military stripes down his pantaloons ; he had patent-leather boots; he had shirt studs of large circumference, pins, ' gold waist coat buttons, and a gorgeous watch-chain ; I believe he had a crimson under waistcoat; he had the Whitest of cambric handker chiefs, a ring on bis forefinger, and a s'ick with an overpowering gold knob. He was the wondeifulest nigger that the eye ever beheld. He had a pretty English wife it is a fact, madam, with long auburn ringletSj ho it was plain tp see was desperately in love with, and desperately afraid of him was marvellous to behold the wrapt, fond gaze with which she contemplated him as he leaned back in bis chair after dinner and refreshed his glittering ivories with a tooth-pick. Equally marvellous was the condensation with which he permitted her to eat her dinner iu hi august -presence, and sufftreu her to tie round his neck a great emblazoned shawl like a fl ig. HORRIBLE MURDEll A fiend named Johnson, of Mirricksville, C W., recently seilucpd young woman named Jessie Thompson, and after causing her death by poison, severed the head from the body and the limbs from every point. -The generative organs were separated from the body and disposed, of so that it was impossible for the Coroner's jury to tell the sex of (he deceased, at the time of its ses sion to investigate the case. The mangled remains were discovered in a bag floating in the river, by a young man who was fish ing. Th jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his or her death by ir.eans unknown to the jury. The publication of the result of-the Coro ner's inquest met the eye of a farmer resi ding in the vicinity of Brockville, and at whose bouse the young woman had stop ped for about three weeks before she was murdered, and whither she had killed her. He immediately repaired to Mirricksville, hed the body discnterred, and fully identi fied it. The ears had been cut of to re move the ear drops, by which she might be recognized. The officers are now in pursuit of the murderer. It is to be hoped that retributive justice may be specdly inet ed out to him. ONE Of THE PRINTERS. Mr. Barnes, one of the Proprietors of this paper, left this city Thursday last, to visit his friends and relatives in a distant State, and view again the scenes of his early manhood, after an absence of sixteen years. He came tor this city in October, 1840, and took ar situation as journeyman in this office and from that time to this he has never left his post ; stepping from journeyman to fore man, and then Proprietor. He has nev er lost a day from his duties by sick ness or pleasure, during tlie sixteen years always to be found at his post, from early dawn to a late hour of the night. A great number oapprentices have learned their trade under him, and he did not consider that his duty was done by them unless they could but up, in good order, 1200 ems per hour do any kind of a job, on hand or power press, and keep sober, one of his apprentices, after serving out his timej and entering the .world on his "own hook," as "jour' often met with dissipated and worthies printers, who made every effort to seduce him into their practices was asked by one of them where he learned his trade J he had never met with such a sober printer before, and wanted t6 know where he was trained. 'The 'our replied, 'I learned ffly trade with a man tvho al ways tried to irnpsress on his apprenti ces two important points of success "in dustry to get a goo;i trade, and sobriety to make it profitable." The State' print ing, just finished at this office, has been done mostly by youug men who learned their trade under Mr. f$. ; and we doubt very much whfther any other four nie; could be found who would do the Miru amouut of work, , in the same time, without geltiug on a bust" several times during the progress of the work. Wo hope our associate may find in in his temporary releases; from his arduous- labors both pleasure and bodily im provement. Federal Ga.) Union.

TROSPECIUS OF THE " SOUTH EKN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Iffissdidneeus Journal, to be published weekly, at JUson, iVI C. 11 H GeiWiK condition of political parties, and of pani3a$9ife, naturally suggests ih estab lishing of sacR a journal as the "Southern Senti nei'' proposej lo beconio. The present, inderd, i a crisis in oar political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has ben invaded ; the laws trampled ana spat apon ; religious nnerty assauca : bali.it boxes broken and burnt; the landmark of our political ancestry partially cnaced i tne wis dom flerived from a lime-honored experience un seated; stranjre and questionable mm have been pushed imo high positions; and tanaiici.-ni, uachai ned fram its axe and its faggot pile in the North, is heard lo howl imung us in .'he South. These evils, sofar as it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL WiB endeavor to arrest. It will endeavortu Incul cates reverence for the Uwaas the'sxial, and for the Constitution, as it has ben interpreted by the wise men of the past and by the Fathers of the Demoi rallc laiili. It will defend not only pbli'ical but beliqioos liberty, and-will do battle auainst ev ery political heresy that may appear, whethei hatched in raves orculverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original ana selected, as well as lo miscellaneous snbincts. Which shall include Agricultural and the latest Coin- mei-cia Intelligence, in Drier, no enurts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the -outh. The first number of Lho Sentinel will be issued abont the first of the npxt month, and sent to sub scribers at the rate of S'2 per annum i 12 50 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the year. Discount made tn behalf of clubs, who shall take five, ten or more copies. - - J. f. KEENAN, Editor. Jan. 17. - 130-3t CIRCULAR. A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Early in i8j6, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to chc panic-. rular features of which I beg leave to ctill your ct- teauon jfhe Annals of Southern Ntthodism, for 1855, will be a 12 mo volume of nut lsg than idO pane, well printed, from stereotype plates, upon uod paper. It wi!i contain all available sttuiiiies in every department of. the operations of the . METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. SOUTH. The design embraces tbe Plan of Kpisc ipal vi?i tation; accounts of the sessions of all the Confer ences neld in If 55, tire appointments, nunrbers, & c; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of tlio dedication of new Churches; reports oi College Commencements, with si else connected with our educational inotenimis; a resume of our Mission ary operation?, ombrajius whatever Stems of gene ral Intt-rcst in (hit department ; the movmen.s of iheTtattand Sunday Schoof societies ; whatever h; p. rtnins to ou: publishing interests, with an nouncements of ah Ww Bcoks published by our Concern, or written by Southern Methodius ; what the Church is doing for the instruction of Slaves Historical and Biographical Essavs: interesting personal reminiscences, and a miscellany of im I portant facts mid incident. THE "ANNALS." It is believed, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of t lie progress of Southern Methodism. It will occur to ion at once, that if 1 hnve suc ceeded in preparing this volume with any rcpsona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agiee able book f'if present readintr, but thai eery year 'ill add to its val'ie as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of Us history. THIS DIGEST Will be specially valuable aca Book of reference. To whatever question of general in'rest may arise in regard to tha events of !S55, it is hoped that a satisfactory answer will be found in ihe Annals. While it" is believed that the Ministers in our Church will desire copies us soon as they can be obtained, 1 have pnid regard to the what 1 suppos ed the tastes of generul t.iders.- Tne older mem bers of the Church wiil find sket lies that carry them back to their earlier -compeers, as in this de partment 1 have not testiictod myself to the histo ry of the year, but have collected whatever has ap peared during the year, which, b8 h'story afid biog raphy, preserves the memoirs of the1 o!dn time, arid of the early men of Southern Methodism. The work will be published at One Dollar a copy. Those who subscribe in advance, shall receie the first copies issued f rum th press. A gold dollar pasted in a letter, can be sent securely and is pref erable to billsof distant tanks. Those of the bunks tn North and Soutn Carolina will be as good as gold. In return a copy will be sent well wrapped and pre paid. ' . My address is Goldsboro', N. C. , . . . CHARLES F. DEEMS. Dec. 29. 122-lm PROSPECTUS OF TOE RAIL ROAD TIMES. AN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL.
