A Gale.
We have had a few days of pleasant
weather latterly, and we began to think that
the good clerk, was about changing his pro
gramme, for a -while at least. Yesterday
morning it seemed doubtful whether it
would rain, snow or sleet, but about noon
the order of the day was changed, into a real
march gale. If it is not cold enough afte r
this for all practical purposes, we shall not
know when or where to look for it.
Further Particulars by tbe
Canada.
The British Mail Steamship Canada ar
rived at Boston on Saturday night, and her
mails reached New-York on Sunday 7 morn
ing, She brought sixty passengers.
I he Liverpool Markets.—Some unea
siness was felt among the holders of Cotton
since the departure of the Africa, in conse
quence of the prospect of a crop of three
millions of bales, combined yvith the heavy
rains and floods in England, which made it
impossible to sow winter wheat. Up to
Thursday evening, the 10th instant, Cotton
was forced off at a decline of three eighths
of a penny. On Friday, however, there was
more steadiness and less pressing of sales,
and the market closed tamely at a farthing
decline on the better qualities. The stock
on hand comprises 435.000 bales, of yvhich
250,000 are American. Middling Upland
was quoted at 5 o-16d.
State of Trade.—At Manchester Trade
had slightly declined.
The London Markets.—The Produce
market was dull. Tea had advanced Id a
1 1-2 per lb.
Money Market.—Consols for Money
closed at 100 1-2 a 100 3-8. American
Securities was firm and sales had been effec
ted at the following quotations: U. S. Sixes
1867, 1868, at 108 a 109.
Havre Market.—Cotton has declined
three centimes per lb. Tres ordinarie Or
leans is quoted at 00 francs.
Important from the Rio Grande.
By a private letter received from a relia
ble source on the Rio Grande, the Mobile
Register learns that Gen. Carvajal has cros
sed the river with four hundred Texas ran
gers, and at last accounts was on the march
tor Monterey. It was generally supposed
that this movement on the part of Carvajal
was at the invitation of the State of Tamau-
lipas, and further, that Gen, Cruz, the mil
itary commander at Camargo was indirectly
aidiugit.
The lew Year.
Time, that old monarch who sways a
sceptre over the affairs of men, and leaves
his impress where ever ho treadhas
brought us upon the opening of another
year, and right thankfully do we stride up
on the allotted space and offer the congrat
ulations of the season.
The Old Year, with its varied scenes and
enjoyments, its pleasures, aud hopes, its an
ticipations and realizations, is numbered
with the things that were, -aud buried in
the tomb of the past, yet its memories
survive, to lighten or laden the sorrows
and cares of the present. In its passage, it
has bereft many of the tenderest pledges
of love and affectiou, desolated homes, aud
laid waste the social family circle. It has
smitten many with the reverses of fortune,
and the loss of wealth, and heaped the glit
tering treasures of life in abundance and
affluence into the lap of others, while to
others still it brought unremitted pleasure
and happiness; with such events has its
history been marked in its checkered deal
ings with man. To our country it has been
a year of peace, plenty and prosperity, yet
she too has beeu mantled in the garb of sor
row, and has been called to weep over the
fallen spirit of a beloved Clay, and an ad
mired Webster, two of the mightiest of
her sons, and the last of a trio, than whom
the world never saw a greater.
But tve turn from the reminences of the
Old, to greet,the New Year. It has open
ed upon us with a brightness and pleas
antness, which was very much lacking in
the declining days of 1852. May its future
be as bright, socially, intellectually, and in
the secular pursuits of life. Welcoming the
present to profit by the experience of the
past, we bid our readers and friends a
“Happy New Year,” with every atten
dant of pleasure aud prosperity.
Retired.—Mr. J. L. Locke, for thirteen
years past, one of the Editors and Proprie
tors of the Savannah Republican, has retir
ed from that Paper, and transferred his in
terest to P. W. Alexander, who has been
for four years its Associate Editor. We
offer Mr. L. our best wishes for his future
welfare, and to his successor, renew our
kind regards. Iu politics the Republican
will continue to be a thorough Whig sheet.
stated
The Augusta and Southwestern
Plank. Road.
We notice in the Augusta papers of
Wednesday last, an announcement, that af
ter the expiration of thirty days, application
will be made to the Inferior Courts of Rich
mond, Burke, Jefferson, and Washington,
to lay down and construct a Plank Road,
with branches through said counties, in
conformity with Plank Road Act passed at
the session of the Legislature of 1850.
The main stem of the road will terminate at
some point on Briar Creek in Burke coun
tv, from which two branches will be exten
ded, one of these branches will terminate at
some point near Bark Camp, in Burke, and
the other will pass through Louisville and
terminate at this place.
We are glad to learn that an enterprise
of this sort has been set on foot, and hope
that it will fully meet the hopes and ex-
spectations of its projectors. Augusta used
to be a favorite tradiug post with our citi
zens, but the waut of Rail roads or Plank
Roads—the conveniencies of the age, has
long since estranged them, and diverted their
attention to other quarters. We dare say
that our people will be happy to be rein
troduced into that thriving City, and will
lend some aid in establishing the proposed
Road. We sincerely hope that it may
meet with every success.
Death of Judge Taylor.—The Savan
nah Courier of Thursday contains a letter
from Albany, Ga., dated 27tli ult., which
announces the sudden demise of Judge
Taylor, of the Southwestern Circuit. He
died in Baker county, at the residence of
his relative, Maj. Littleton Brooking, from
an attack of Cholera, produced by eating
oysters. Maj. Brooking was seized violent
ly ill of the same disease, and died the suc
ceeding day. The Courier's correspon
dent remaks that he was oue of the most
respectable aud influential citizens of that
county—beloved by all who knew him.
His relatives and friends in this and Han
cock county, will be pained at hearing this
Balloon Ascension.
Mr. Petnij the great French Aeronaut,
made his first ascension with his grand bal
loon in New Orleans on Christmas day.
The Picayune says, about two thousand
persons assembled to witness the spectacle.
Every thing passed off to the satisfaction
and delight cf the crowd. The balloon was
of immense size, but the car was the great
curiosity. It was built in the shape of a
large skiff, with extensive wings attached to
the side, enabling Mr. Petin to guide the
direction of his aerial craft from within
The car is built mostly of cork, lined around
with cavities containing gas. Thefl ascen
sion took place soon after 2 o’clock, amid
the cheers of the crowd, the stars and
stripes flying from the light vessel. M
Petin for some time could be distinctly seen
walking about in his frail structure, direct
ing its movements. The excitement of the
spectators was much heightened by wit
nessing the balloon pass through a beauti
ful white cloud, which for a time obscured
the floating machine from sight. After
rising to a great height, the balloon took
different directions, according to the will of
its pilot, but finally went off in a south
eastern direction. The balloon had not
beeu heard from at a late hour ou Saturday
night.
A Democratic State—There are ninety
counties in Texas, every one of which at
the last election gave a majority for Frank
lin Pierce for President. In three of the
counties Gen. Scott did not get a single
vote, aud fourteen of them gave him less
than ten votes.
Some of our Whig friends we dare say
think that that portion of our confederacy

Gen. Pierce’s Cabinet.—It is
that Gen. Pierce held a conference with in
vited friends, at the Tremont House, in Bos
ton, ou Saturday, regarding his Cabinet.
Senator Hunter, of Virginia, who was pre
sent, had the refusal of the Treasury De
partment, and declined it. It is thought
lie may be urged into the Department -of
Stale, though disinclined to accept office.
It is also said that Daniel S. Dickinson,
of New York, has been fixed upon for Sec
retary of the Treasury; James C. Dobbin,
Great Freshet—Loss of Life.—The
rains of last week have created a great
freshet in the rivers in the North-west. A
dispatch from Cincinnati, of the 27th insL,
states that destructive floods have visited
the Great aud Little Miami rivers. The
The Miami Canal is broke ten miles above
and will require two weeks to repair. The
Whitewater Canal is also broken. The
Miami and Cincinnatti, and Hamilton and
Dayton railroads arc much damaged, aud
ou both the trains are unable to run—on
the latter several bridges have been washed
away.
In Indiana tbe floods were very heavy.
Ou the Madison and Indianapolis railroad,
several bridges were washed away. A
freight engine with ten ;cars fell through
the bridge at Pleasant river and three men
connected with the tiain were missing. In
the vicinity of Madison much damage was
done to property and several lives were lost.
Salt.—Late advices from Turk’s Island
report that the salt season was nearly closed
there not remaining unshipped more than
30,000 bushels in all the Salt Islands. The
expectation was that there would not be
any more raked before next May or June.
Vessels were leaving daily in ballast, being
unable to obtain cargoes, and the pric. this
season had been much higher than previ
ously—as high as 15 cents per bushel hav-,
ing been paid by New Orteans vessels.
American provisions were saleable in limi
ted quantities. It was healthy at Turk’s
Island, but at Saint Thomas the yellow fe
ver was prevailing to a considerable extent.
Important Trial—In the case in Mus
cogee Superior Court, last week, the State
vs. the Bank of St. Mary’s, for circulating
small change bills, the jury found a verdict
of $47,500, with costs of suit against John
G Winter. The last Legislature remitted
the penalty incurred under the law, but
the Court held that this remission only ex
tended to its own part, and not that going
to the relator, Philip A. Clayton.
The Hon. Edw’d Stanley of North
Carolina, it is said, designs removing to Cali
fornia, where he proposes to establish him
self in the practice of his profession—the
law.
We’ll take that Chance.—A young
lady of sweet sixteen advertises in the Lou
isville Courier for a husband. She speaks
French and plays the Piano. A young
man who is handsome and agreeable is all
she wants. Money is no object as she de
sires to live on love altogether. We speak
for this chance, provided we are not to be
restricted to the same diet, nor translated
with the French, or transported with the
music.
Mississippi U. S. Senator.—Governor
Foote has appointed B. N. Kinyon, of Ja
cinto, U. S. Senator, iu the place of the
Hon. Walther Brooke, whose term expires

License or no Licens.—A Grand
Jury, at the recent term of the Superior
court of Bibb county, made the following
presentments on the subject of the retail of
Spirituous Liquors.
“In the discharge of our duties as citizens
and members of this body, we cannot but
be deeply impressed with the great evils
which grow out of the use and sale of spir
ituous liquors, as the fruitful source of hab
its and crimes of the darkest dye, among
both our white and black population, as
the annals of our Courts from year to year
abundantly testify. We think that the en
nobling principles of humanity and the
moral welfare of the society and institutions
under which we live, require the abatement
of so degrading an evil.
“We would, therefore, recommend and
request our Senators aud Representatives
in the next Legislature to use their best en
deavors to have a general law passed, that
at the annual elections at which county offi
cers are elected in the several counties each
year, the electors, endorse on their tickets
“License” or “No License,” and in such
counties as there shall be a majority of
votes polled for “No License,” that there
shall be no license issued, and no spirituous
liquors allowed to be sold, with proper
stations of the preachers for 1853.

Duke,s wife and daughter called to see it
before the inquest, and left the bridewell
with tears and lamentations. They return
ed home and the inquest was held--the ^
Coronor thinking it unnecessary to call for
evidence of the ‘mourners—and the jury
came to a ver.iict “that the deceased, Wil
liam Duke, was accidentally drowned.”
When the wife and daughter returned
home, what was their astonishment to see
him whom they thought they had just seen
dead, alive and well, warming himself com •
fortably by the fire. The frightened wo
men for some time refused to believe the
evidence of their senses; and it was not un
til some neighbors called in and effected a
mutual understanding between the parties,
that anything like quiet was restored. At
length, after some explanations, it appeared
that the deceased was not William Duke,
who had been away from horae and bad only 1
that evening returned. Who the deceased re**
ally wasjno one knows. Duke, on learning
that he was supposed to be drowned, was;
exceedingly angry at tbe stupidity of his
wife; and it was with much difficulty the
neighbors, who had come in to comfort the
widow and orphans, effected a complete re*
conciliation.
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
In a thousand pounds of law there is not
an ounce of love.
It is better to do well than to say well.
