Mail, of the 30th ult., eays : The assembly which greeted Gen. Walker, last evpniii, in front of the Moutjemery LUIl, was a rery largo one. It was, besides, apparently quite enthusiastic. We arrived late and heard only a portion of the epeech. - What we did hear, however, impressed us very favorably in respect to hia ability. As far as his modes of speech are concerned, they seemed to us very consistent with tho idea of ability as a commander or ruler. There was no pretension to rhetorical ornament no flour inhes but great sim plicity, ter-enes3 aud vigor. Ilia elocution is plain, but effective. IJia sentences came forth as if each were an ordr of the day, clear, distinct, and with out a redundant word. It ia not our purpose even to attempt to glance at the principal points of this speech. It was merely, in good part, a history of the Nicaraguan revolution iu which he wae engaged, Dd tho facta as given, were hi-hly interesting. Two points he made with much force. The first was that he had been encouraged by the naval commanders of the U. S. Government to embark in the euterprize, although that Government had subsequently chang ed its course and become itiimictl to the enterprise. To ebow that this Government gave an open en couragement, he stated that the Bails of the brig which conveyed him and his comrades to Nicara gua, were actually bent on by seamen from a Go vernment vessel. The other point was this: that the opposition to the Nicaraeuan scheme was never developed. North, until the decree establishing slavery. Then, there was a general waking up and putting ou the pres sure. Ger. Walker showed conclusively the value to the South of a foothold for elvavery in Central America. Whether he will succeed iu establishing it, is another question. We are not advised how long Gen. Walker will remain, nor what his specitic purposes are in mak ing his present tour, lie probably disclosed the latter last evening, but there was a large portion of bis speech which we did not bear. lie was loudly cheered at the close of his re marks. Meeting of Linseed Oil Manufacturers. A meeting of the manufacturers of linseed oil in Southern Ohio and Western Indiana was held in Cincinnati last week, and, after some discussion, the meeting adjourned to meet in Dayton lust Sat urday. The Price-Current says of it: Sixteen oil niiili were represented. A resolu tion was adopted unanimously, that the rule of filing linseed oil by weight, as prescribed by the law of this State, passed lust winter, be adopted by all dealers, so that after the new crop oil is iu mar ket it will be sold by weight, at the rate of 1 lbs. to the gallon. It was also agreed that the packa ges in which the oil is contained be charged for in all cases henceforward. The rules heretofore observed in the loaning of seed to farmers were revised. The most important changes made are as follows: The price of seed shall be fixed at the time it is taken into store by tho manufacturers, and not at some other time named by the grower, as has been the case horeto fore. The rule of giving third parties privileges in making loans of sued hus been abolished; hence forward the loan t-hall be made by the manufactur er to the farmer who sows it direct, and the seed returned to tho manufacturer or his agent in like manner. With reference to the present crop of flaxseed, the reports made by manulacturers from the vari ous sections, estublitrhud the following facts beyond a liuubt : A greater breadth of Ian U was sown the present than iu any pievious season ; the crop ma tured more fully aud completely U'u (or several years, aud based upon these facts tho jkIJ will at least be 30 percent greater than in any former seaj nuu. TLc quality ot the need Is prime and uniform ly so. It was stated by one manufacturer that he had examined the boles iu two or three fields in Lis neighborhood, and found ten seeds in top boles. The question of what the price Fhould be was lengthily didcussed, but no re.-olution was passed, though the census of the meeting evidently wereiu favor of $1 20 in this city. The estimates of all the manufacturers showed a surplus of seed above their capacity to crush, of 100, OuO bushels. It is probable, however, that the price of seed will open rather Ligher than the one ubove named, the price of oil being so high, and it is quite as probuble that tho highest prices paid during the Season, will be paid at the commencement. Dkatii of Commodore Nkwton. Our communi ty, says the Washington Union of Wednesday, will not soon recover from tho shock which it re ceived yesterday afternoon by the sudden death of Commodore John T. Newton, whose courtesy, ac complishments, bravery, and gallant bearing in the most trying situations have added so much lustre to the American Navy. lie was a member of one of the Naval Courts of Inquiry now sitting in this city, and at the time of its adjournment at noon yesterday, appeared to be in tho ei joymeut of his customary vigorous health. Commodore Newton entered the navy in 1809, and at the time of Lis death was about 65 years of age. Within a few days wehavo been called upon to annoutice the deaths of Capt Henry, Lieut. Decatur, and Lieut. Hare, and now the name of Newton is to be added to that band of departed spirits the recollection of whose heroic deeds will be long aud warmly cherished by their grateful and admiring countrymen. A Iiculon anil a 1'lglit. A fry discreditable affair occurred on tho 24 th ult-, at Gallatin, Mo., between the two opposing candidates for Governor of that State. The fol lowing statement is given of it by gentlcmea who were present, The undersigned citizens of Davies county rtato that they were present at Gallatin on the 2 lib iust., and listened to the political di-cusoioa between Major llulliue and Col. Stewart, the candidates fur Governor. Major Rollins opened the debate iu a speech of one hour and a half iu length. Through out bis speech he was respectful iu his bearing to bis competitor, and said nothing which could be constructed as personally offensive to Col. Stewart. After be concluded, Col. Stewart replied iu a speech two hours long. In the course of his remarks, he dealt a good deal in personalities, and we regarded niuch that he suiJ iu bad taste, and uusuttcd to the discussion; amongst other things, he ppoka of Maj. Kullins being the owner of certain organ griu ders, and mentioned the name of at least one edi tor iu this connection; he also charged, among other things, that Mnj. Kollins was the candidate of the Dlack Republican .party that he had been brought out by l I. Blair, and in one or two iu stances be detiguated him (Rollins) as a Black Re publican. When Col. Stewart coticludeJ, Maj. Rollins, ac cording to the understanding betweeu them to ri pond tor half an hour, aud amongst other things Stated in substance that a Col. Stewart had spuken fretly of his owuership of geutleiueu and also of )ih being a Black Republican, be thought these things catue with a bad grace from Col. Stewart, who was a Northern man by birth who was the President oi the Hannibal aud St. Joseph IUiiroad, niort of the stock of which was owned in Boston and who had ailed in turuing over to this Boston company fix hundred thousand am a of as fiuelat.d as there' was in the State a wan, in short, who wa owned by the Bostou Company anl who would continue to act as their agent, whether he remains a private citizen, or was elected Governor f tho State. CoL Stewart remarked, you Lad better rpat that statement a few timot more, or worJs to that fleet Maj. Rollins said he did repeat what he 6tated. Cel. Stewart, who waa silting to the right of Maj.

The proposition that Tennessee is entitled , and ought, of right, to receive her propor m f the public land?, is so just and equita 'e in itself, and commends itself so forcibly the public mind that we find a prominent emocrat in the 7th Congressional District, posing the regular democratic candidate, ainly upon this issue. Mr. David E. L. cElrath, an old line Buchanan democrat, is w a candidate for Congress in that District, id whether he is successful or not, we vet ire that he represents the sentiment of the lajority of the democrats of that district, on ie question whether we shall have our share ' the public lands. In the outset of the can- tss we believed that the measure demanding ' r Tennessee her share of fie public lands, ouldmeet with the general concurrence of 'ie people. We even went so far as to ex- ea the hope, that there would be no issue iade upon the sulject, and that whichever irty was successful, we should at least have Legislature, and a Congressional delegation, vho would be ready to insist upon our just ad plain rights in this regard. We have seen tore than a hundred millions of acres of the ommon property cf all the States, graluitous- y donated to new States ind territories, some f which Deither furnished a single soldier, or a single dollar, in its acquisition; and when : he older States, finding themselves in i raightened circumstances, with salutary chemes of internal improvement and educa ' on on hand, aud withoutthe means, except itate credit, to complete them, make a de mand for their rights, in this common fund, ,ref turned away without a single acre or a iDgle dollar. Such a picture is enough to rouse every voter of Tennessee, to ajustsenre f the undeniable rights of his State, and cause : .iin to vote for those who will demand and lefend those rights. We are persuaded that the rank and file of ! he democracy are really and truly in favor of he policy of an equitable disposition of the .ublic domain; and that it is only the 6elf in erested leaders, who are opposing it, because t happens to he an American doctrine, set on foot at the last Congress by that able and far ;eing stat smao, John Bell. It is one of the 'lighest measures of justice and of State rights, ind we are glad to see the democracy themselves ising to an assertion of the great principle, .nd having the nerve and independence to face heir leaders, in their iniquitous schemes of (Justice on this subject. There has been no ind donation project before Congress, in hich the democrats have not largely purtici ated ; and the : great parade that is made gainst it iu Tennessee, is in direct conflict vith the action of some of the most th.trough-.-oing democrats of the Union. We can of ourse have no sympathy with Mr. McElrath, s a democrat, but as a stern and independent dvocate of the rights of Tennessee, in the ublic lands, we cordially coincide with him. vVe hold it to bo one of the paramount inter st8of Tennessee, and should be voted for, and ressed above all minor party differences. We low say to all those democrats who are really tnd conscientiously in favor of the land poli cy of the American party, they should ex ress that j reference by their vote. In do ng so they would minister to the defeat of heir present leaders, but would not compro nise their principles as democrats. But if .hey vote against the principle now, it will be tin open avowal that they do not mean to as ftrt their rightful claims in this behalf. Will you do this! Will you thus sign a quit-claim deed toall your rights in a magnificent landed estate, sufficient to build all your railroads, and educate your children, f.r all time to come? Tli Avalanche Democracy. We shall sweep like an avalanche over the State. Union and American. Our contemporary could not easily have found a figure more appropriate to express the characteristics cf Democratic success, than the bne above quoted. That party has avalanched it over the Union until tLey have to a great extent, eectionalized the country, and over whelmed the rights and interests of the South. They swept like au avalanche over the coun try, when Buchanan was elected a minority President; and his policy in Kans-a.-', has swept like an avalanche, over that Territory, crush ing and killing out forever, the rights of the South. Like an avalanche, too, they gather in their foreground and take with them iu their course, all foreign and unstable elements, and, in their headlong sweep, blight the very soil over which they pass, and wither every good thing which flout ishes upon it for human happiness and comfort. The figure is a most ha ppy one, and wo commend its import, when applied to the Democratic party, to the patri otic citizens of Tennessee. These riders of the avalanche and the storm, the Democratic leaders, care very little for the destruction, which they leave in their wake, provided they themselves ride in safety. We believe that the masses of Tennessee ans, are prepared to resist these avalanches. They have seen their evil effects, and will set to work on Thursday to throw up a barrier in its way, that shall put a check upon its wild career. They will chain it within its proper bounds, and so restrain it, that it will hereaf ter prove harmless. So far as this avalanche implies the success of the Democracy of this State, we hope and trust and believe that it will be no avalanche at all. C'lteerluK from ilie OlU Dlatrlct. We were showu yesterday a letter from Trenton, written by a well-informed citizen ot that place, in which it was stated that Ether jdge'a election may be regarded as certain, and that a gain of between four hundred and five hundred votes for llatton may be calculated upon in that district. Hurrah for the gallant Americans of the 9th district. Let all the other districts do as well and Bob Llat ton will be onr next Governor. Americans of Middle Tennessee, the Amer icans of the Eastern and Wes-tern divisions, send us word that they will make heavy g.ins lu their portions of the State; and they de mand that you shall do your duty. Will you not do it? Will you not aid them in cutting down the majority which stands aa a barrier to the triumph of our glorious cms.? We an swer for you, that you will. But & few more da'a work is now to be done. Make the most of it; on the day of election, be discreet, dili gent, active, aud you will succeed beyond ,jour moot sanguine expectations. We shall sweep like an avalanche over the State. Union and A uitrican. Yea; very like- downhill. A Pao-Njcut Outbaoc SUaUm Vote.

The Richmond South publishes the subjoined letter from Senator Mason. It will be noted that he was of the opinion, at the time the Kansas-Nebraska bill passed, that Kansas would be a slave State. It will also be noted that he approves the strictures of the South upon the Buchanan-Walker policy by which it 13 now sought to make Kansas an anti-Slave State. The Administration journals in Ten nessee Lave studiously attempted to keep their readers unii.formed in-regard to this subject, and the divisions it is producing in the Dem ocratic party South. They cannot, however, shut out the light much longer. Public opin ion will compel them to let it shine: Wischkstkr, Va., July 22J, 1857. To the Editor of the South : Dear Sir: In your pap?r of Monday last, in an article headed "Walker's Usurpation," I observe the following paragraph: "But we are told that Hunter and Mason and other distinguished Southern Senators, in thedt bate on the Nebraski-Kansas bill, expressed tho same opinion that Kansas must be a free State," &c I cannot undertake to say what opinions tray have been expressed by my honored colleague, or by other St-nators from the South, in referet.ee to the probable condition of Kansas; though, from a genera! knowledge of their views in regard to that Territory, I should not doubt that any opiuions so expriSied would have reference to circumstances and contingencies necessarily qualifying them. To avoid misconstruction, however, I tt ink it proper to say that I never expressed the opinion thus as ecribed to me; because I never entertained it. At the time the law passed organizing the Territorial Government, there were few with whom I convers ed, who did not believe that the future State would take its place with those recognizing and cherish iug the insi iiution of African slavery. Ther ewaa at toat time, certainly, every reason to believe why this should be so, and none why it should not. The S.ate ot Missouri, bordering its eastern frontier, was a slaveholding State, holding at that time nearly an hundred thousand slaves, and these were c'difly held in the border couuties. The State of Arkansas, acj .cent to the Territory on the South, was likewise a slaveholoiug State. Tbe soil and climate of Kansas were well adapted to those valuahle products, chitfly hemp aud tobac co, which pave value to slave labor in Missouri. The proximity of its population, with the attractions of new, fertile, and cheap land, I believed would lead the slaveholders in Missouri to diffuse them splves ppeedily over Kansas, and the prohibitory line of 36:30 being obliterated, there was no reason why they should not. I bad no fear of fair compe tition in such appropriation of the new Territory from any quarter. Unfair competition I did not look to. What may yet be the result as to the condi tion of Kansa?, notwithstanding the extraordinary and unscrupulous efforts of Northern Abolitionists to force a population there, I cannot undertake to say. Nor will I allude in this place to the new aud unexpected aspect now exhibited of affairs in that Territory, with so much propriety reprehended iu the columns of the "South." Whatever may be the information of others, I certainly am not suffi ciently informed of the existing state of things in Kansas to form a clear opinion one way or the oth er; yet I will venture to say this much, that, if Af rican fhvery be ultimately excluded from Kansas, it 111 be effected ry the numerical force of organiz ed majorities, operating against the usual law. which govern emigration; aud will present a net and most instructive lesion to the Southern States. Very respectfully, I am, yours, &c, J. M. MASON. Tkxt. So far, every body h satisfied with Mr. Buchanan's Administration. No body finds fault with it. Union and American. Comment From the Augusta (Ga.) Chron icle and Sentinel, wherein an old line Demo crat makes himself heard: Can't Stand the Ruciianan Policy. !?At a meeting of the American party of Macon county, held in Oglethorpe, on the 20th of July, E. W. Allen, a prominent old line Democrat, was present,, and, beins; loudly called for, responded to the Call in the following patriotic strain : "Mr. Allen gave his reasons for voting for Mr. Bu chanan thought then that it was the best that could be done for the South, but that Buchanan had deceived the South especially had he deceived a great confiding party which had supported him. He had pandered through his agent and appointee. Walker, to the abolition spirit of the North. Such he cont-i lered Walker's course in Kansas. Hewns born a democrat raised to have much reverence for the name, but could not, for its sake, dear as it wa, go with a party against his own native South. He felt it to be his duty to oppose it, and he should dare to do his duty." There are thousands of other good and patriotic men throughout the South, who, like Mr. Allen, wore doccivod and betrayed into the support of Mr. Buchanan, and who, we have no doubt, now that they are conscious of the fraud, will repudiate the Administration and those who deceived them. Prksioknt Buchanan a Knigut of Mount Ver non. It will be seen by the following extract, from the Richmond Enquirer, that tho President of tho United Stat s, ahhough an old bachelor, has gallant ly enlited himself under the patriot banner of the "Southern Matron."

VVe subjoin sev eral letters in behalf of this laudable object; among them one from the President of the United States. We cannot doubt that the patriotic devotion to a noble cause, eviueed by the Chief Magistracy of the Confederacy, by the official authorities of Little Rock, and by individuals of all classes and section;, will stimulate the frieuds of the enterpiise to new and energetic exertions, and finally crown their la bors with success : Washington, July 25, 1857.

The "Svuattrr Sovereign," a leading Free State organ published at Atchison, in Kansts Territory, eiys: "Gen. Lane, we understand, says that there is no doubt any longer but that Kansas will be a free State; and that the only contest r.om remaining, is as to tchich have the credit of making it so, him or Walker. If this is so, we are sufpicious that Walk er will Deal him, as he proposes by far the most practicable mode of settling the question." American Genius still triumphant.

II u STSfecl by m Snake. I was brought up the near Canada line in Ver mont, where my father owned a large firm. Not far from his farm was a quiet lake where we used to enjoy ourselves fishing and sailing. One after noon I saw a flock of black ducks fly over the house and I was 6ure they lighted on the lake; so I siez ed my double barreled shot gun and ammunition, and started off. When I reached the landing, I saw tbe ducks away off by tbe opposite shore. I at once cat some green boughs with my knife, and having rigged up the bow of a small flit bottom ed fcull we kpt on purpose for such work, I jumped in aud t-tarted off. I had got near enough tor a shot, and had drawn in the scull, and was in the act of taking up my gun when the duck startel up. As quickly as possible I drew one hammer aud let drive. I hit two of them, but they didn't fall into the water. They fluttered along un til tht-y fell into tbe tall grass up in the cove. The water was low and the place was dry where they were. I pulled up as far as I could, and then got out and walked up. I knew vtry near where oue of the ducks had fallen, and very soon had my eye on it. As I ran to take it, I saw tbe head of a black snake pop out and catch it by the wing. I saw only the head and neck of tbe reptile, anl had no idea how large it was, or if I bad, probably I would have done j j3t as I did, for I had no idea of fearing such a thing so I ju-t ran up and snatched the bird away. I had left my gun iu the boat, and had nothing to kill the chap with; but as I took the duck, I just put my foot on the thief's neck. Ti e ground was moit and 6limy, aud as the snake had his body braced among the roots of the stout r eds, he took his head out from under my foot about as quick as a man could comforta bly think. I thougi t I would run back to my boat and try to kill this fellow, and I had just turned for that purpose, when I felt something 6trike my leg as though somebody had thrown a rope around it. I locked down and found that the snake bad taken a turn around my left 1. g with his tail, and was in the act of clearing bis bo 'y from the grass. I dropped the duck and save a smart k'uk, but that didn't loosen him; so I tried to put my right foot on him, and thus draw my leg away, but I might as well have tried to put my foot on a streak of ligattiiiig. I had forgotten the proportionate size of the head of this species of black snak. I had ex pected to see a snake four or five feet long, but instead of that he was nearly eight feet and a halt. Still I hadn't any great fear, for I supposed that when I came to put my hauds on him, I coul easily take him oil, for I was pretty strong in the arms In a few seconds he had his body all clear, and it was then that the first real thrill shot through me. There he held himself by the sim ple turn around my leg, and with Lis back arched in aud out, be brought his head on a level with mine. I made a grab for him but missed him, and then, as quick as you can snap your finger, he swept his head clear around my body, aud then straightened up and looked me in the face again. I made another grab at him, and another as quick as I could, but he dodged me in spite of all I could do. I next felt the enake's body working its way up. The turn of the tail was changed to my thigh, and the coil around my stomach began to lighten. By this time I began to think there might be some serious work, and the quicker 1 took the snake off the better. So I just grasped him as near the head as possible, by taking hold where he was around me for he couldn't dod'e that part you know and tried to turn him off. But this only made it worse. Tho fellow had now drawn him self up so high and stretched himself so that he whipped another turn around me. His tail was now under my left thigh, and the rest of him turned twice around my body one of them being just at the pit of my stomach and the other above it. All this bad occupied just about half a min ute lrom the time he first got tbe turn round my His head was now right around in front of my face, and he tried to make his way to my mouth! What hi intention was I cannot surely tell, though I have always believed he thought be could stran gle ine iu tii at way. He struck me one blow iu the mouth that hurt me considerably and after that I .got him by the neck aud there 1 meant to hold him; at 1 ar-t so that be should not strike again. The moment I grasped the neck he commenced to tighten his folds about by body! I soon discovered that he'd squeeze the breath out of my body i.i that way, and I determined to unwind him. He was wound in this way the turn around the thigh was troiu left to righr, then up between the legs to my right side aud around my back to my left side and so on with the second turn thus bringing his head up from under my arm. I had the snake now with ttie left band, and my idea was to put its head around my back until I could reach with my riht and so unwind him. I could press the fel low's head down under my arm, but to get it around so as to reach it with my right hand I could not. I tried I put all my power into that one but it was au impossibility to do it. Until this moment I had not really been terrified. I had supposed I could unwind the serpent when I tried. 1 never dreamed what power he bad. I tried it until I knew I could not do it, and then gave up. My next thought was of my jack knife; but the lower coil of the fellow was over my pocket, aud I could uotget it. I now for the first time called out for help. I yelled with all my might; and yet I knew the trial was t:ext to useless, tor no one could easily gain the place where I was, except with a boat. Yet I called out, hoping against hope. I grasped the snake by the body and pulled; I tried to break bis neck The idea presented a gleam of promise; but it amounted to nothing. I might as well have tried to break a rope by bending it. A full minute had now passed from the time when I tried to pass the snake's head around my back. His body had become so elougated by bis grad ual pressure around my body, that he had room to carry bis head around iu a free sjmuu tiical curve. He had slipped from mygrasp, aud when I next caught him, I found that I was weaker than before! I could not hold! The excitement had prevented me from noticing this uutil now. For a few moments I was in a perfect frenzy. I leaped up and down cri. das loud as I could and grasptd the snake with all my might. But it availed me nothing. He slipoed his head from my weakened band and made a blow at my face. This made me mad, and I gave the infernal thing an other grasp with both hands, trying once more to twist his neck. The result was lha;I got auother blow on the mouth. But the moment of need was at band. I felt the coils growing tighter around my body, and my breath was getting weak. A severe pain was be ginning to result from the pressure, and I saw that, the snake would soou have length enough for an other turn, Ue was drawn so lightly that the cen ter of his boy was no bigger than bis bead.
