MAGIC ANO VENTRILOQUISM.
We were one of a large andience who
witnessed the inimitable performance of
Professor Wyman on last evening.—
Though we have seen many Professors of
Magic, wo have never seen any equal
some of the feats of legerde-main exhibit
ed by the miracle-working Wyman; and
as regards his ventriloquism —we must
say that he far surpasses all we have seen
in his business. There will be another
performance this evening.

ANOTHER FIRE.
It is our painful task again to record the
destructive effects of another fire in our
city. On Tuesday night last at one o’clock
the alarm of fire aroused from their beds
our vigilant and faithful Firemen, who on
rushing to the point indicated as the
scene of danger, found the new and beau
tiful residence of Mr. Joseph Winship in
flames Unfortunately it was impossible
to obtain water with which to quench the
flames, as the wells in the immediate
neighborhood had failed in consequence
of the long continued drought.
Every thing that could be done under
this unfortunate state of things to arrest
the ravages of the devouring elements,
was done. The furniture in the house
was saved, as well as other things contain
ed in the house. The loss is estimated at
five thousand dollars, and no insurance.
ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE RE
SPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF
THE PUBLIC MONEY 1
One would suppose that in our country
it would be impossible to find any one
holding the uegative on this question. —
It is iudeed late in the day to deny to the
people the right to know how the money
they pay in the way of taxes, is expend
ed. Yet, in our young and progressive
City, where fogyism should not be allowed
to find a resting place for one moment, a
practical denial of the truth of the pro
position is given in the action of its chos
en rulers. We have no showing from
those who handle the people’s money, how
it has been expended. Wo know not
whether it has been corruptly or honestly
used—whether it has been prudently paid
out or squandered—whether it has gone
into the pockets of Councilmen or their
next of kin in the way of jobbing, or into
those of honest laborers, iu works of gen
oral improvement and public benefit.—
Is it not important that the people should
know how their money is expended?
If the money of any given individual is
honestly expended, his agent most gladly
renders his account in the proud consci
ousness that be will receive his reward in
the words: “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant.” If the present board
and the present Mayor think they deserve
this cucomium from the people, why do
they not give an account of their Stew
ardship—and receive this greatefhl re
sponse from the people?
We ask nothing for the people which
they have not a right to exact. We ask
it not as a favor or privilege —we demand
it of the Mayor and Council as being due
to the sovereign people, who placed them
where they arc, with the whispered infor
mation to them, that the same Land which
made them can destroy them.
ENTERTAINMENT.
Professor Wyman gives another enter
tainment this evening. We advise our
readers to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to spend an agreeable evening.—
Professor Wyman has with him Comical
Almanacs of his own getting up. ns also
some choice Music, which can be obtained
of the Agent.
AMENDE.
| In our notice of the fire on Sunday
| night, we omitted to mention the name of
Mr. Toy among those referred to as hav
ing distinguished themselves by their zeal,
activity and boldness in the performance
of their duties as firemen on that occas
ion.
Mr. Toy deserves honorable mention
in connection with the others.
Extravagance.—As an indication of
extravagance which has prevailed in the
country for some time, an importing house
I in New York has written a letter stating
i that the amount ot duties paid for French
artificial flowers for the first quarter of the
current fiscal year was almost double the
amount of duties paid on railroad iron.
[Communicated for the Examiner,]
INTERIOR BANKS OF GEORGIA.
In reply to his enquiry, we state, that
the bills of all the Banks in South Caro
lina are bankable in Augusta. The banks
in the interior of that State have made ar
rangements to have their bills redeemed in
Charleston; hence, they are daily sent to
Charleston by our banks for redemption.
And so long as they continue to redeem
their bills in Charleston they will be bank
able in Augusta- — Chronicle <(• Sentinel
§th ult.
How remarkably friendly and clever to
the country Banks of South Carolina? But
why did you not let us know when they
were thrown out ?
“Our correspondent should know, and
the public also, when they hear these re
ports about broken banks, and see no no
tice of it in this journal, that the report is
not to be relied on—indeed, that there is
no truth in it. We claim to be the friend
of a sound currency and legitimate bank
ing; and whenever a bank fails, we areas
certain to chronicle the event as to expose
the actors in illegitimate and fraudulent
use of bank charters — lbid.
Still very kind and patriotic. But sup
posing one don't fail, and you report that
it has failed, then what ?
MERCHANTS’ BANK OF MACON.
SEND HOME THE BILLS.
“ In our issue of this morning we warn
ed the people to repudiate the Swindling
Shops. We did not suspect then, that
the hour was so near at hand when they
were to be robbed of the fruits of their toil
and labor —although we always regarded
it certain that they would be robbed sooner
or later if they permitted the bills to cir
culate.—lbid, evening edition.
Which robs and cheats the people the
most, the Banks that stand firm through
the financial storm; or the public print that
circulates false reports and causes people
to part with their property, at ten, twenty
or fifty per cent less, when they could have
had dollar for dollar?
“This will be glorious news to those pa
pers and individuals in the interior who
have advocated the cause of the Wild Cat
swindling shops. We commend the facts
to their especial consideration ; and in the
meantime warn the people —not to take
the issues of any of the Wild Cat Banks
If you do, you will be robbed sooner or la
ter —as certain as the sun gives light ”
[lbid.
Most assuredly you will, if you believe,

that paper touching the banks of the In

PETER WHISTLE.
A BAD SIGN.
A meeting of the Whigs of Henrico
county, Virginia, was held on the Ist of
January, to consider of the propriety of
appointing delegates to a Whig State Con
vention, with the view of nominating can
didates for Governor, Lieutenant Govern
or, and Attorney General. The follow
ing resolutions were offered, discussed, and
finally adopted, almost unanimously:
Resolved, Ist. That at this time, and
under existing circumstances, it is expedi
ent and unwise to hold a Whig State Con
vention for any such purpose.
2d. That from all the lights before us
we, so far as our voice can affect the ac
tion of our brother Whigs throughout the
State, protest against a Whig State Con
vention at all, but should such a Conven
tion be determined upon and held, urge
its postponement till the month of April.
Lt seems, from the passage of these res
olutions, that the Whigs of Henrico en
tertain the opinion the Whig party of Vir
ginia should make no organized Whig op
position to the Democratic nominees. It
seems that they think the Whigs of Vir
ginia should give up and abandon their or
ganization. Nor is it only an attitude of
neutrality that they recommend to their
brethren throughout the State. An ob
vious and palpable design to succumb to
the new secret organization and to aid in
the election of its ticket, was manifested
in some of the speeches.
The worst enemies of the Whig party
cannot contemplate this effort of its own
brotherhood to prostrate that ancient par
ty without emotions of sorrow. A gener
ous spirit cannot behold the downfall of a
once great and manly foe without indul
ging such emotions. Should this merger
of the Whig party into the Know-nothing
organization be permitted and sanctioned
by the intelligence of that party, sorrow
for its degradation will mingle with disgust
for the paltry policy which thus sinks prin
ciple for triumph, and forgets the “decen
cy” us the past in the hope of winning
thereby the “spoils” of the future. The
charge so often alleged will then be plainly
confessed that the Whig party never was
anything but a party of men, and that the
basis of its organization and the principle
of its cohesion was only the intellect, chiv
alry, and services of its two great leaders
Those leaders are now in their graves, and
the Whig organization moulders with them
lin their tombs Clay sleeps at Ashland,
i and with him sleeps that pride of genius
and chivalrous self-respect that would
have felt “like a wound’’ the stain of all
degrading coalitions. Webster lies in the
tomb of Marshfield, and with him lies that
sound intellect which would have exposed
the folly of all such alliances.
If this meeting be the indication of the
policy of the Southern Whigs, the extinc
tion of that J arty may be assumed as an
existing fact The Whig party will be
quietly buried, and in its stead we shall
have a secret organization at wir with the
very principle of free institutions.
We suggest to our cotemporary of the
■Richmond BVijy the following appropri
ate dirge:
“Open wide the gate* of Athol
Where the bones of sages rest;
Open wide the gates of Athol,
To receive another guest.’*

The Campaign in the Crimea. —The
diary of the seige of Sabastopol and of
operations iu the Crimea is thus given :
November 29.—The war correspondent
of the Ijondon Times says: “ Although it
may be dangerous to communicate facts
likely to be of service to the Russians, it
is certainly hazardous to conceal the truth
from the English people. They must
know sooner or latter that the siege has
been for many days practically suspended,
that our batteries are used up and silent,
and that our army are exhausted by the
effect of the excessive labor and watching
to which it has been so incessantly ex
posed. The Russians know this well
enough. The relaxation of our fire is self
evident; but our army though weakened
by sickness, is still equal to holding its
position, and to inflict chastisement on
assailants who may venture to attack.
Nothing would so animate our men, des
titute of all stimulating influences beyond
those of undaunted spirit, than the pros
pect of meeting the Russians outside
their entrenchments, and deciding the
campaign by the point of the bayonet. —
Last night there was a brisk affair between
the Chasseurs de Vincennes and Russian
Riflemen in front of the flagstaff battery
earth works, and the Russians dispelled
all absurd myths about their being in
want of powder and ball, by a most tre
mendous cannonade assault and counter
assault, continued amid a furious fire,
which lighted up the skies with sheets of
flame from nine o’clock at night until four
in the morning. Volleys of musketry and
salvoes of cannon roared through the camp
during the whole night; but few lost their
rest in consequence, for these affairs are
now of nightly occurrence.
November 30.—A heavy fire on the
French during the night. The Grand
Duke Michael was observed making a re
connoisance at a distance of one thousand
yards. Flags of truce were exchanged
respecting, money for the prisoners.
December, 1. More rain. The state of
the roads prevented the arrival of supplies,
and part of the British forces put tem
porarily on short allowance. The deaths
from fever and cholera reach sixty daily.
December 2. Continued rain. The be
siegers began to erect huts for shelter.—
Deserters say that the condition of the
Russians on the field is worse than that of
the allies. Much bell-ringing and rejoic
ing heard in Sebastopol during the night,
supposed caused by the arrival of provis
ions.
December 5. The Russians made a
sortie against the French lines, when eight
divisions of French under Gen. Forri re
pulsed them with much loss.
December 7. The Paris Moniteur says
the beseigers’ batteries were re-established,
and before three days fireing would be re
sumed. The allies are sufficiently en
trenched and provisioned to remain
throughout the winter.
December 13. A Russian despatch states
that up to this date nothing of importance
had occurred before Sebastopol. Some
small sorties had been successful, in one
of them the Russians captured some small
mortars and spiked others of a larger size.
The fire of the allies continued feeble.
GENERAL PROSPECTS.
The Russian defences on the South are
estimated at one hundred guns stronger
than when the seige began ; while, on the
other hand, the British have erected a
very powerful battery, not yet opened, on
an eminence north of ihe valley of Inker
inann, and commanding every house in
Sabastopol, besides being another step to
wards the complete investiture of the place.
Russian deserters say that provisions
and ammunition were becoming scarce in
Sebastopol; but there was no famine for
either.
It was observed that the Russians were
arming their ships in Sebastopol harbor,
probably to attempt a surprise by sea.
General Liprandi is deprived of his com
mand, for a fault committed at Inkcnnann
on the sth November.

While in Atlanta last week we could
not well avoid calling on James L. Dun
ning at his “ Machine Works.” Like all
men determined to thrive in business, he
was applying himself assiduously to the
superintendence of his establishment.—
The “ Machine Works” turn out an im
mense amount of castings, and such is the
system and disciplin of the operatives that
every thing is conducted in the most ex
peditious manner, with the regularity of
clock work. As a “worker in Brass and
Iron” Mr. Dunning is a worthy decendant
of Tubal Cain.— Rome Courier
REDUCTION OeYhE TARIEF.
At the democratic caucus held in the
hall of the U. S. House of Representatives
on Wednesday evening last, the following
resolution, offered by the Hon. George W.
Jones, of Tennessee, was adopted, viz :
Resolved, That it is right and proper
that the duties imposed by law upon goods,
wares, and merchandise imported into the
United States from foreign countries,
should be so modified and reduced at the
present session of Congress, preserving the
principles of the tariff act of 1846, as will
materially diminish the amount of revenue
annually collected from customs.
Aer Haven, Dec. 29.—Burglary and
Murder. —The house of Joseph Sears, at
Nangatuck, was entered this morning by
burglars, who struck Mrs. Sears a blow
on the head which fractured her skull,
and then murdered her young child to
prevent it from making an alarm ! Mr.
Sears was sleeping in the opposite part of
the house, and wa< not awakened until
after the murderers had escaped.
