A Dreadful Scene.
The London papers by the Canadi-
nn, at Quebec, furnish the following
£ articular* of the fatal accident at the
[usic Hall, Surrey Gardens, while the
ltov. Mr. Spurgeon was preaching:
Beforo the service commenced the en
thusiasm within, and even without, the
building was intense. After the preach
er had proceeded for some minutes, on
• sodden the hysterical scream and sub-
seqoent fainting of a female in the gal
lery to the left of Mr. S., and at the
farther end of the building, occasioned
a commotio,,.
Presently, the people at the doors
cried “Fire!”—(there really had been
a strong smell of fire a few minutes pre
viously)—others called out:—“The
building 1 the building is falling!” and
then, ftom above, in the galleries, in
the hall, and from nil sides, rose a vol
ley of screams and shrieks, which were
followed by a terrific rush to the doors.
Tho preacher paused in terror.
Viewed from the orchestra, the body of
the hall presented a scene of dire con
fusion and agonized excitement. For
tunately, from the floor being encum
bered by seats, a moment’s obstruction
was given to the rush. That moment
saved the lives of many who would have
been overwhelmed in tho tremendous
onset toward the door, and gave time
for many tranquil observations.
The preacher, recovering himself, im
plored silence, assured the people of
safety, and whilethe shrieks and screams
still resounded, and terrible groans were
beginning to be heard, set up a hymn,
at first loudly chanted from the arches
tra, soon spread itself over the troubled
congregation in the body of the hall,
who now seeing the roof still above
them, and* the galleries still crowded
with listeners, terror stricken, yet eager
ly hanging upon the preacher’s words
thus encouraged, joined in the hymn.
Not so in the galleries. There a rush
was made to the circular stair case on
the right side facing the entrance.
Down this a stream of frightened men,
women and children poured, rushing cn
in terror and impelled from behind by
crowds in still greater alarm. Turning
upon the stairs of the second gallery, a
slight curve is made by tho balustrades.
There, unfortunately, from the over
whelming pressure, the mnhogany hand
rail broke and the balustrades gave
away, one after the other for about
three yards. Urged by the crowd
above, those below fell over the sides,
down the staircase, to the stone floor be
neath.
The first who tumbled over tvas a
well dressed woman, w ho struck upon
her head and died withont a groan ; the
second, another respectable dressed fe
male, who fell screaming in an agony
with a child clasped in her arms ; then
came another woman, then two men.
and others followed. Meantime, the
crowd from the end of tho halL below
were rushing round tho passage, forcing
their way outwards over the dead autl
dying. The groans and screams were
such as might bo faucied by l’atulenioui
urn.

A Singular Political Wager.
Boston, Friday, Nov. 7,1856.
Major Benjamin Perley Poor , the
late Fillmore candidate for Congress in
the Sixth District, arrived in the city
this afternoon with his wheelbaryow and
barrel of apples, which he had wheeled
• all the way from Newbury port, a dis
tance of thirty six miles, in two and a
half days.
The job was in fulfillment of a bet
with Col. Burbank the Fremont State
Senator elect, lbat Fillmore would get
mote votes in the State of Massachu
retts than Fremont. J’ho Major, wheel
ing hi# apples, was* escorted up State
street about 2 o’clock, by the Fillmore
Clubs oi Boston and Charlestown, a Mil!
tary company and a mounted cavalcade
of citizens.
The novelty of the performance col
lerted many thousands of the people
and the Major was greeted with tremen
dous and tumultuous applause on all
sides. He delivered the apples to Col
Burbank on the steps of the Tremont
House, when both gentlemen delivered
congratulatory speeshes, mounted on the
barrel. Ten thousand people were pres
ent.

Hon. John 91. Clayton's Public Life.
Mr. Clayton was but little over sixty
years of age, but nearly thirty years of
liis life was spent in the public service.
He was first elected member of the Leg
islature of his native State, Deleware,
and from there transfi-red to the United
States Sena e without the usual interme
diate step of service in the House oi
Representatives. He was elected three
times to the Senate, hut between each
term there was a short interregnum.
His first term extended from 1829 to
18S7, his secoad from 1845 to 1851, and
bis last commenced in 1853 and would
have expired in 1859. Ho was the po
litical friend and companion of Clay and
Webster in nearly ait their years oi ser
vice, and with the exception of Mr. Bu
chanac and Gener: 1 Cass, leaves no
anrvivor of the illustrious band of states
men who in the last quarter of century
have given dignity and lustre to the
Senate. The obsequies of Mr. Clayton
will take place at Dover on Thursday
Afternoon.
The above is from the Baltimore
American. We think it strange that
the American should have omitted the
name ot Hon. J. J. Crittenden, of Ken
tucky, who entered the Senate in 1817
is still a member of it. and has had hi-
fall share in honorably illustrating its
annals during a period of nearly forty
-.years. And the omission is the more
anrprising, as Mr. Crittenden is the most
distinguished representative of the par'y
which ha# just triumphed in Maryland.
Another name, at least os prominent
aa that of either of the gentlemen pres-
ent-~that t f Hon. Thos. H. Benton—
should hardly have been omitted in this
notice. He had ^ longer continuous
service in the Senate than any of the
great men bis cotemporaries, or, in fact,
of any Senator during^the ;W hole period
of the Confederacy. -And no one will
deny that be played a Very distinguish

more, in the abundance of his professed
rationality, said a few months since, “1
know no North, no South, no East, no

tion, proves, that no North, no South, no
East, no West, knows him. They are
mutual strangers to each other, and are
likely so to remain. Let lii? political

Dreadful Collision and Loss of Life.
New York, Nov. 15.
The French iron 6teainer Lydnnias,

omon Domingo. Enrncstine Bollctt, and
the ballance were the crew.‘ The steam
er was valued at 8250,000.. Among the

The steamer Marion has been chart
ered to proceed in search of the Lyon*
nias, which the agents believe is still

Suicide-
On Saturday mo.uing last, the 8th
instant, the citizens of our place were
thrown into consternation by the an
nouncement that a suicide had been
committed during 'be night, in one of
those drinking and gambling establish
ments where the unweary are so often
ensnared and led - victims to ruin. Dr.
B. H. Perkins of Cuthbert, a most esti
mable and worthy c.tizen—a brother of
Judge Perkins, came up to this place a
day or two before, with fifteen hundred
dollars in his pocket to pay’off a-bank
note. Unfortunately he got into one of
those sinks of iniquity and destruction,
was induced to drink, became intoxica
ted, and then to the gambling table,
where he soon snw. his last dollar leave
him, and his note unpaid. Driyeh to
desperation, he retired to his room, aud
in the maddening phrenzy of the mo
ment committed the rash act, pf celt
destruction, by cutting the artery of one
of liis wrists from which, the curhnit of
life soon made its escape-; morning re

Secretaries—R. J. Milliean, of Jackson ;

Three enthusiastic cheers greeted the ap
pearance of the President, Mr. Stevens
Thomas, who made a short yet tiuly elo
quent address, and this, a<s his whole bear*
ing in presenting the other speakers was
done in that elegant, noble—manner which
cannot I>k surpassed.
Mr. Thomas W. Thomas, ot Elbert, was
first introduced, who made a powerful, able,
and convincing speech. He is one of the
first minds of Georgia, whose ponderous
blows have fallen on the lantern ofSamwilh

Our former able Representative, Judge Ju

est efforts, w hich is prais** enough for one
man.
Judge E. Randolph Harden of Nebraska,
was then introduced, who gave us a most
interesting speech, with touching allusions
to his old home of Athens.
John C. Lumpkin Esq., next addressed
the assembly, whatever feeling he may have
once had toward some ofthe Democracy of
this district, he now gave the hand of I r nio»
and fraternal feei ng; and united in the
common joy which overspreads us, and the
whole country. \ :
Gov. Howell Cobb, the giant statesman—
the man honoured and loved not only in
Georgia, but over this whole Union—made a
short, appropriate and eloquent speech,
which the multitude received with tumultu

Our popalar and talented townsman, the
gallant Delony, then gave us one of his
best efforts—eloquent—burning—glorious.
In the different speeches, tributes were
paid to the noble Cass, and other bright
F«ttale Schools.

weighs about one hnndred and forty-

Fillmore Gains in Alabama.—Lot the
organs in Georgia be consoled. A precinct
in Jackson county, Ala., stood last year, 79
for tha Democracy ami 0 for the Know
Nothings. At the late election the same
precinct gave 80 for Buchanan and 1 for Fill
more, thus showing a clear gain of one vote
for the American party.
Fillmore’s Vote.—Mr. Fillmore, the man
that the Georgia Know Nothings wanted
everybody. to ( you.for, tp,beat Fremont, be
cause Buchanan stood no chance: of being
elected, ran lowest of the three candidates
for President, in the United States—in hie
own State—in his own county and in hi*
own city. Comment ia unnecessary-

NEW CASH STORE,
J OHN JOHNSTON.—Formerly of Frank
lin county, Gh., is now permanently
located at No. II, Mitchell’s Block, Athens,
where he will be glad to see all hit Oil
Friends, and as many New Ones as may find
it their inlerett ot pleasure to give him a
call.
1 want to buy all the produce they bring to-
this market, and in return 1 want to sell tlietn
all the Goods they want iu exchange for
produce. For the benefit of those whose ac
quaintance we have not yet bad r.be pleasure
of making, we will say the following thing*
•*s a foundation to' by gin an Acquaintance; QR.
Ours is a One price Gash Store. We' don’t
sell to strangers, or poor people, or children,-
for tnore than the regular price, and to-ac-
qnatntances, wealthy or influential persons
for less. We try to treat alt alike. Our
goods are all marked in plain figures, so that
a customer could actually sell. himself a bill
of Goods without the assistance of a Clerk*-
This effectually prevents us from using the
Two Price system, and is an advantage-
Which we believe no other House in town or
country gives at present. -Nojewing, no
variation ia made from tlie marked price, (if
the article is perfect,) except the differs nee'
between wholesale and retail. Full weight
and measure warranted in every case, no
struck measure given or taken, we buy and>
sell hy the same measure. The Best Market-
price always paid for produce. We kaep.no
ardent spirits.
All oversights and mors in calculation willi
be corrected, and we hope oar frieqde willbe
as ready ta call our attention to them when
they are for us, as against us. Those wh 0 '
wish to trade with us on the above principle*.-
we shall always be glad to see and happy 10
on. When we say . we have. put oar gqttSff
at the lowest Cash Price, don’t taka oor
word, but examine for yourselves. As o»?'
stock is entirely new, the attention, of- »•
Ladies is respectfully solicited.
All barinaaa 'art!rested xe us by our country-
friends, will be promptly attended to without
charge, uuless it be very burdensome.
