Our Nominocs
We plane at tbe bead of our column to-day. th*
ticket nominated at Baltimore yesterday. It is
neediest to tall our ren *. that we shall support
timer nominees will) all the aeul, fervor and abili
tv at our command.
Tbe ticket is a noble one, such an one ns must
commend itself to the suppoit of ail true patriots,
and wo conscientiously bdievt? it wilt reeeive a
large majority of lire Votes cast i u tire second day
of next November.
John Bell aud Edward Everett, are true and trie )
patriots; tneu of npotleas reputation, personally and i
politically,and of unsurpassed ability. Although |
their names are as familiar ns huunelu Id words to
all intelligent Americana, we deem it j roper to
give tl.e subjoined brief biographical sk-o'lo's of
each.
Joust Bst.l. was born near .Nashville, Tcnne--re,
February 15, 171*7. lie oomiiionus-d Iris studies |
at Cumberland College, now the Nashville I ni
versity, arid graduated at the laticr in III; ho j
studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 18|ti. i
In 1817 hs was elected to th" Stato Senate . de- i
dined a re election, and devoPd the ti-U ton
years uf his life wholly to his profession ; iu 1*27 |
l.e was elected a Representative iu (', norms, and i
continued to ho re-elected until 1*11. i fieiating j
during one term as Speaker ; in 1*11 he accepted
a seat iu President Harrison’s cabinet as Secretary
of War, which post he resigned in five m milis
after the aacoseion of President Tyler; in 1 17
ho accepted a scat in the House ot Representa
tives of Tennessee, hot before the close id the
year ho was elected to the Coiled Stales Senate, \
and wa- ro-cdoetad in 1852, serving, from time to I
time, ns chairman of important committees. Mr. I
Bell retired from the Senate in 1*58, since which |
time, he has been in privute life.
Emvaru EvjtRtTT was born in Dorchester, Mas- 1
eachusctte, April, 1794. He received hit curly
education nt Huston, nnd entered Harvard t'ollegn I
when little mure than thirteen years old, leaving i
it with first honor* four years iator, undecided as j
to a pursuit for lile. lie turned his attention lor
two years to the profevsion of Divinity ; hut, in
1814, he was invited to uccopt live uew prolcHeoi
ship of Ureek literature at Cambridge, Massaelm
setts, with permission to -visit Europe, lie uceep
ted the office, and, before entering on its duties, 1
emlwrked nt Jloetun for Liverpool. He passed
mere limn two yean at the famous University ,,f
Gottingen, engngrd in the study of the German
language nnd the branches of learning connected j
with his department. He passed tlm winter of
181718 at Paris. The next spring he again visit
(J Isimlon, and pnaard n few weeks nt Cambridge j
and Oxford. In the autumn of 1818 he returned |
to the continent, nnd divided the winter between ,
Florence, lhfloe, and Naples. In the spring of !
1819 he made a short lour iu Greece. Ho came 1
finite in 1819, and intend ot once apon the du
tics of Ids pndfsaership. Soon niter his return, I
he became the editor of the Hoi tit Ammcvn Hr !
t ine, u journal which, though supported hv w rit- (
ere of greet ability, had acquired inly a limited !
ci - illation. 1'nder its new editor the demand in- !
c. aved so rapidly that a second and a metimes a
third edition of its ntimbers was require 1, In
ls‘-4 he delivcicd the annual oration before the
Phi Rrta-Kappn Society nt Cambridge, Msssaehu'
Beits. Tliis was Uie first of a series of orations
and addresses delivered by hint on public occa
sions of almost every kind during a on irter of a
century, and afterwards collected iu two volumes.
I'p to 1824 he had taken no active inte.ast in pol
itics but the constituency of Middlesex, Massa
chusetts, without any solicitation on hn part, re
turned him to Congross. For ten years he sat In
Congress, and was a working member. In 1S85
he retired from Congress, and was for l. iir siieees
sive years chosen Governor of Jlas-acouseUs. In
1841 he waa appointed M represent the I'liili d
States at the Court of St. James. Although the
Secretaryship of State at Washington was hold
by four different statesmen, ol various politics,
during his mission, hs enjoyod the confidence and
approbation of all. Uis scholarship was rcoognis
od by the bestowal of the degree of p.O.L. hv the
Universities of Oxford and Cambriugc. He re
turned to America in 1845, and waa chosen Pre
sident of Harvard College, which office he revign
ed in 1849. On the death of Mr. Webster, he w as
appointed Secretary of State by President Fill
more, which office he resigned for a scut iu tlio
Senate. This position he slso resigned, since
which time, although lending the qniet life of a
scholar, he bos greatly added to his reputation by
delivering orations on the Life of Washington,
and on other topics, all belag fur charitable pur
poses. lie was the intimate frieed of Daniel
Webster, and wrote the best iife of that distin
guished man extant, whoa# oollected writings he
edited.
The style of farming utensils of thirty years
ago bo§ been wonderfully improved. The farm
ers of those days, although they were economical,
and husbanded very closely the uett proceeds of
tbeir crops, are regarded a* having been “old fo
gies,” and.oppoeed to all innovations in matters
. pertaining to farming. The old woodon ploughs,
clumsy Noe*, two-proa god harrows, pitchlorks
with rtort (tabbed tines, axes of peculiar;make,
the scythe* and sickles of pMtrtime*, would eon
statute a fltbiaatof nut eariotiut*. The superio
rity of modem ploughs, hoc*, harrows, pitchforks,
scythe* and enidlee, erg becomingly noticed and
com mended in the New York JSxprt.it, and the
editor close* an able article on the ealyecL, by sta
ting that notwithstanding the variety of reuping
and mowing machinery now in nee, neither the
scythe nor the cradle ie bid aside. Many farm
er* still prefer the tatter to the former, by reason
that the beet machines are thought to muse much
1 waste. Lodged grain sad grass cannot be cut be
Machinery without loss do some extent; anJ those
owning small farms can readily dispense with tlirir
use. But it it surprising to contemplate how the
liarrests of former days wru accomplished befor.
•Ten the cradle was invented 'I ben the sickle a
lope was depended upon. The grain was gather
ed by handfuls, cut and placed iu gavels I t the
reaper. It was a slow process, and oftentimes the
wheat would begin to grow ere it eonbl »** secur
ed. But large fields were harvested, and the le*-t
quality of wheat in those days was sold i r fifty
and seventy-five cents per hushe!. II iwcvcr. in
the great wheat districts, the leaping machine is
employed, and it requires but a few days to cut
hundreds and thousands of acres. Next foil s i
the threshing machine, one of the most iinpoitnnl
agiicultural inventions of modern times. It is
called into requisition immediately on the close of
the harvest, and one machine threshes and sepa
rates from the straw and cbatT from two hundred
to three hundred bushels per day.

The nttenli >n of Mr. Collin" was firs' drawn to
Siberia by tbc perusal of Lieut-unit Von Man
gel's narrative of an expedition t - tho Polar Sea
Reflecting on the vast extent of the country, its
mighty rivers, its stately nnd lv-undlcss f -rests
its immensi^minoral wealth, ho was struck with
the magnitude of its natural resources, nnd with
! i's possible value to tho commerce of the world,
i if it could only obtain an easy outlet to the net an.
Having laid his views ou the sjhjeoi before the A
morican Cloveruinout.ho was appointed couinn-rc'iil
agent nt tlio Amoor river, and lie tin 1 therefore no
difficulty in proeufing from the Russian Csnr, {nil
pm mission to travel from Moscow to the month of
the river, in order to ascertain the possibility of
American enterprise penetrating the obscure re
gions of N irthern Asia. Tbs attention of Afuer
ieau merchants has long been J.-octcJ to the
Aioo-ir river, as being tho channel hv which a
largo trade could be carried on vvi.U the Northern
nnd Western portions of the Russian Empire hor
dcring on the Pacific Ocean, and though often vis]
ited by whalers no satisfactory examination ha-1
been made of the riycr and of the country, of
which it is the outlet. As Mr. Collins enjoyed
iter facilities for seeing tho country through
which lie journeyed than the ordinary'traveller :
and his bonk, written in a lively style, it will
bo found interesting on those accounts, as also
from the lnrgn amount of valuable information it
contains. The author thinks a groat trade will
bo carried on between the Amoor liver nnd the
city of San Francisco. Should this prove t-> he
the case, his travels will be prolific of good results

Tho Disaster at Camden, S. CFurther
Particulars.
Tin* Sumter (S. C.) Watchman bring* further
t>arricuh«r* uf n melancholy <Ji«*ftter near Hamden,
r , Saturday, by which twenty-tour person*,
chiefly young ladic*, lost their live*. Tho party
had enjoyed the morning pleasantly in a p»c nio
rx. ursi mat a mill pond ton mile* from the t wn,
and in the afternoon about thirty of them, all la
dies save one or two, embarked on a flat boat to nail
on the pond. Tho Watchman says :
They had been out some time, and were near
tho centre of the pond, when tlio boat ran on n
► nag. Thin excited little <>r no fear*, rh it was fup
P<«mpd that a speedy extrication could be effected.
All wan life ni.d Hpirit--all wa» hope and bappi
iti>Hs ! Soon it was perceived that the great pres
miiic of the b »at upon tlic song, in consequence of
the nuitiher it contained, was puncturing ith bot
tom, and that the water whs making its way in
side. Now the excitement b-'gati. Now fear be
ga., to pictim- its wSld traces upon those just now
hut'pv enu itwmiicVH. Now the tender nnd timid
lad'n s .lie I up •» their t.r .lectors for that assist- ;
an i- :,nd deliverance which, painful to say, they
wen; unable to nfi’-rd. Momentarily the danger I
became greater, and inomeiitui »l» tlie excitement 1
«d t 'Oi h *wrd, as well n* those *m *h re. became
UbiiO intense. It sf.'fiin.s that d< live ranee would
have r -nie, tin 1 tha? the bunt w ait i have proba
bly 1 e-’u pu In 1 «-ff and run near enough to tlio
shore I' r manv, if not ail, to have escaped, had it
led been Unit these who Moolat each end, (a j
white man an 1 n i•,) with their p"h*', laboring
with all ilie.r *\ve-h »\r* l each hi the same di
rect ion,thu* mutually d< .-trey ing the file cl of their
efforts. Seen, in a few moments shn began to
sink ? When this wa* seen, and the fact that she
i'duI | not he moved became to npputont, the scene
became frightful indeed. *1 he wildest excitement
nml fear seemed to seize every heart, and but f»*w
if anv worn sufficiently collected to enable
t!i< ;u *t > eini-1 >v their effort* for rescue adviiti- !
tagcoii-lv. 1 n a few moments, now, she *nnk,
vhen tin* scene muy bo better imagined than de
scribed.
Ihereing cries and shrieks, and culls fur help;
both fruit ilm-e i.n shore and those on th«» unfor
tunnto boat, filial tho air. Sinters and brother*
parent* and cliil Iren, iclativc* an 1 friends, whose
heart* were h< nnd b getlier by the nearest anddear
e-t <f earthly ties, and animatedly the wannest
and most tender affection, were there—some on
ibo sinking boat and homo • n the shore. Oh, how
ru b |y wen those confiding hearts torn asunder
and ravished with wild and aching grief !
'J’he boat *• cm* to liavo committed them to the
1m s in of the water, hulled together, mainly, in a
ma-s. The water is supposed to have been about
twenty feet in depth. '1 bus thrown together,olio
cli..citing t«» the other, w ith that grasp which be
I o.gs only to those in a drowning condition, there
was little npj.oi tunity for the males in th* Cuin
I anv t » rescue the ladies or even tu save them
-«•! vi
ihc a few | \vn have not been apprised of the
number | were saved, of those upon the boat. One
ad of da mg, manly and gallant rescue, which has
been reported In us. and which we believe tiue,
d ui.Mids c.t.ecial*notice at our hands, and slimld
, l.w rewarded by tlie lifetime gratitude of those im
i in. Lately concerned, us well a* the relative* and
f, lend* «d tiro same. Mr. Jones, a fireman upon
t ,c I’ m lcn train ] this train was, a* well as we
can lent n, at the time of tho awful occurrence,
ii ur the sn -t.j rushed to the spot, and bv almost
; s i;..*i liuinau dbu t* coupled with most cod uni
it. mu I y coinage, brought three of tho drowing
persons to the sli ire.
Mr. S. S Itichhurg, ('Urvcyor, f rinerlv of this
! place.) with n -hie licvulion, lost his life as wo un
| dcr-tiiud, attempting to -uveanother. Two negroes
al- » 1 »st their lives.
Kfforts to rescue the b alio* of the unfortunate
i dr *woed were immediately employed. Some were
taken from tho water. Olliers could not he found.
Toe flood-gate* of the pond were hooii hoiated,
hut the body of water was great and could not be
! si i. runoff. It was thought that it would be
sufficiently dry on Saturday night to admit of all
the bodies being f mud. W c have not learned the
number that had boon found, when our dispatch
was sent.
t imden i* tdirou led in gloom, and many of t
cit • n* overwhelmed by the most severe utlhcinm
and bereavement. Vt hull-past three on yester
day, eight bodies were at the Methodist Church
where funeral ceremonies were being perioimcJ,
; in the presence of a largo congregation. Almost
every eye w as moistened by the tour of sympathy
