GIIAPES.
Simri Rose, Maoon, best collection native Grapes,
silvercup $lO 00
The Exhibition of Apples was large and attractive, par
ticularly of Southern Seedlings, which the Judges regard as
indicative of the improvement in fruit culture in our State,
and vyLtell we recommend as most profitable for general
cultivation —the northern varieties often failing in our cli
mate und falling short of expectation.
Those exhibited by Hon. M. A. Cooper of Etowah, wero
largo handsome spocimeuspnostly northern collections.
Those by Wm. Murray, of Whitfield co., included a few
specimens of the most beautiful and perfect on exhibition.
Those of Jarvis Van Buren, of Clarksville, Ga., were large
and beautiful, particularly tl e Southern Seedlings, whiok we
recommend 10 general favor and attention.
The specimens exhibited by Geo. Walker, Pulaski co.,
of a fall table apple, were very handsome, and coming from
tlis southern part of our State, prove conclusively that
apples of high flavor and good keeping qualities can even
be grown under our hot sun.
The last and most beautiful specimens on exhibition, are
in the collection of Z. Jones, of DeKalb co., Ga., the -Queen,’
we recommend to general cultivation.
As our railroads generously transport ail articles for ex
hibition, without charge, we would suggest to one of the
exhibitors, that thirteen barrels'of apples which are on sale,
are more than consistent, when ono Duskel of each variety
is sufficient.
The exhibition ol Pears for the last two years, proves
that the cultivation aud perfection of fruitin our climate is
no longer problematical.
The exhibition by Dr. N. O. Baldwin, of Montgomery,
Ala., and Airs. Col. Jordan, Miliedgevilie, were fine; aud we
recommend their fruit to all lovers of the peach.
The exhibition of grapes by S. Rose, Alacon, Ga., in largo
perfect clusters, preserved on the vines in paper bags, is a
variety recommended for general cultivation, being hardy,
vigorous, fruitful and best adapted to the vicissitudes of
soil and climate in most parts of oar extended land, and is
known as the famous Park grape of Missisrippi, Segar Box
of Ohio, Miller of No. Carolina, and the Warrenton grape
of Geo.—-soil and climate making the difference, as in the
case of tho common muscadine, under the same influences.

. There were five hundred and thirteen exhibitors—an in
crease of over thirty-five per cent, of the last year. The
nnmber of visitors, as reported, were in about the same
ratio. Had the exhibition been held three weeks later, the
number of visitors would have been increased several thou
sands, and the receipts of the Society from fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars. The gale, which has doneso much
damage to many parts of the country, and the sickness
generailv, havekept away thouFouds of anxious visitors.
Tire-exhibition has excelled that of last year, in every
department, for variety and extent. There has been an |
evident and manifest improvement in every article upon
exhibition, from the Slave, with his rude wooden model of
the Steam Engine, to the exquisite handiwork of the ac- j
complisfiec Matron, attaining in art, with her needle, to the ,
soft an t delicate touches of the pencil.
The display of Animals was the largest by far that has j
ever been seen in Georgia. And in Poultry, for its excel
lence and merit, far in advance of anything that has ever
been witnessed in this country. j
The Society is now established upon a sure basis, and its l
usefulness to’the country, at no time since its organization. !
has been better demonst rated, nor so generally appreciated, ,
than at the exhibition just doeed- I: is destined to work a i
great revolution in the industrial habits aud social relations
of tbe people of the Southern States. |

Anti-Retailing Convention.
A ntmbib of delegates in favor of prohibiting the
Retail of Liquors in Georgia, assembled in Conven
ventionatMaconon Wednesday the 21?tin»t. The
Convention was organized by calling E. L. Newton,
of Clark, to the Chair, and appointing W. S. Wn.-
liford, of Bibb, Secretary.
After soveral animating addresses setting forth
the object of the Convention, the following resolu
tions were adopted unanimously:
Eisohed, That we advocate the enactment of a
law at our next Legislature, allowing to each coun
ty to determine by vote ofthe people whether liquor
shad bo sold in its limits.
Resolved, That we also advocate the enactment
of a law leaving it to a vote ofthe people of Geor
gia to determine whether a general law for the
State shall be adopted, to prohibit the sale of liquor
within its limits.
On motion of Rev. James E. Evans, a committee •
of seven were appointed to .prepare an address to
the people of Georgia on this subject, to be pub
lished in the Temperance Banner, and other papers
requested to copy.
The committee is as follows:
Rev. J. E. Evans, of Muscogee,
Rev. E. H. Myers, of Bibb,
John H. Newton, of Clark,
John W. Burke, of Cass,
Benj. Brantley, of Greene,
Wm.S. Willitord, of Bibb,
W elleorn, of Pulaski,
McKee, of Meriwether. .
The Convention adjourned to meet at Atlanta,
on the 22d of February next, when nil the counties
of the State are requested to send tip a delegation
of at least two.
In anticipation ofthe assembling ofthe contem
plated Convention at Atlanta, in February next, it
booomos every good citizen, every lover of peace
aud good order, every philanthropist nud patriot,
in short, every man who feels an interest in the
well being of society and the heppiness of his fel
low men, to maturely deliberate upon the question
of prohibiting the salo of intoxicating liquors with
in the State. It is'a question, which should bo
met and decided upon its merits, after the njOßt
calm and dispassionate consideration. There is
nonced torany excitement or exasperation—indeed,
both are prejudicial to the exercise of an enliglitcn
ed judgment; and, above all, it should Jro discon
nected entirely from All other questions. Lot it be
fairly weighed in the balance, and if found want
ing, lot it be oxcludod. Let every intelligent, re
flecting man in the State look around him and soe
who is profited by the sale of intoxicating drinks,
and contrast those with the number who are injur
ed by it. Let him contrast its benefits with its in
juries, and then determine whether or notit is a
nuisance, prejudicial to tho interests of tire coun
try and the well being of society, and destructive
of the property and livos of the people.
It should be treated purely as a quostion of po
litical economy and expediency. If the pnbliogood
is to be promoted by exclusion, duty to ourselves
and tbecountrv requires that itshould be excludod:
if, on the other hand, it is found to promote tire
cause of order, health, prosperity and the protec
tion of life and property, by all means, let it con
tinue to be sold—for, in that event, the more grog
shops you create, the greater good you confer on
the State and the people.
This is the manner in whioh the quostion should
be canvassed and decided upon; and when so can
vassed, we have no fear that the judgment of an
enlightened, philanthropic people, if influenced by
pure motivos, will bo in favor of its entire exclusion,
except for medicinal and mechanical purposes.—
That such might to be their verdict, we entertain
not the slightest doubt.
Splendid Flour.
We lake great pleasure in calling the attention
of families and tho public to an article of splendid
Flour, now turning out of the “Granite Mills."
It is made from the finest Genesseo white wheat,
and is fully equal to the best article made by Hi
ram Smith, the favorite brand in this market. W e
do not speak at random; we have tasted and exam
ined it carefully, and every good housewife wil;
sustain our declaration.
Connected with this flour, however, is a fact,
whioh we. confess iB rather humiliating to our
State pride, that is, that the wheat of which it is
made was grown in the State of New York, and
was laid down at the Mills in this city, at a cost of
$1.50 per bushel. This stale of things results from the
careless indifference aud negligence of our farm
ers as to the variety and quality of the wheat they
cultivate. They can grow as fine white wheat in
Georgia as in New York, if they would only take
the trouble and incur the expense to procure tho
seed. But, instead of that', they cultivate the
common varieties of red wheat, for which they
can only obtain 75 to 90 cents per bushel. They
must wake up on this question, if they would keep
pace with the age.
Degraded Journalism.
The National Intelligencer remarks with much
truth that “Through a life-long experience as
conductors of this journal, wc must say that wo
have never seen tho publio press so degraded as it
has been within tbe last thirty or forty days, by
the propagation of tho most shameless falsehoods,
in regard not only to the Whig candidate for tho
Presidency, but to tbe existing Administration of
tho Government, which, instead of being subject
ed to the villainous aspersions cast upon it, de
serves from every good citizen the most hearty
thanks and cornmondation for its loyalty to tbe
Constitution, the Laws, and the faith of Treaties,
and the exertions which it has made and is making
to sustain them all in full vigor. As for the tele
graphic reports whieh arc flying from one end of
the country to the other, concerning tho pending
party contest, the safest plan is to distrust almost
everything intended to affect the election, as iu
nine times out of ten they are not worthy of con
fidence."
Tha same impression has been mado npon our
mind, and we could not resist a deep sense of hu
miliation for tho degradation of Georgia journal
ism, when we saw, a few days since, the “ Camp
bell Forgery," of the Washington Union, re-pro
duced ir; a Georgia paper as genuine and true, af
ter it had been pronounced by Mr. Campbell a
“ base forgery ,” and heralded as such from one
extreme or the Union to the other. For tbe honor
of tho presss, we hope the exposure of tire fraud
by Mr. Campbell had escaped the notice of the
editor, though it is difficult to conceive how it
could have passed unobserved by him, if he had
looked into bis exchanges. After the election, we
presume all the journals who gave it circulation,
will be prompt to (ffirrect tbe impression and de
nounce the fra - sd.
Counterfeit Bill.
We wore shown yesterday a counterfeit twenty
dollar bill, on “ the Bank of the State of South
Carolina,” whieh is so well executed as to deceive
most persons not familiar with tho genuine issues
of that Bank. It is payable to James Fenton, at
Charleston, dated May 4th, 1552, and signed M.
A. Moore, Cashier, and R. H. Goodwyn, Presi
dent. In the center of the engraving, on the left
hand end, is the head of Washington and on the
right hand end LaFayette. The vignette in tho
center at top i*s a female figure seated on some
bales looking at a ship on her left in the distance.
Indeed, the vignette and end ornaments arc the
same as used in the old counterfeit twenty dollar
notes on the Bank of Georgetown. In the face of
tho bill the word promises is used instead of
promise.
Georgia Medical College.
The exercises of this institution were opened
yesterday with an introductory Lecture by Profes
sor Dugas, marked for its ability and the impres
sive style of its delivery. We were pleased to see
an unusually large and intelligent looking class al
ready in attendance, which argues well for the in
stitution.

The November number of this valuable medical
periodical is on our tabic, containing its usual va
riety of original and misceilaneoers matter. It is
edited by Professor L. A. Dugas, and published

in advance.

Growing Desperate.
The desperation of the Pierce organs is abnn -
dautly illustrated by tho following article, which
! appeared a few days since in the Mobile Register.
I It seems strango, to one not familiar with the ex-
I frames into which political prejudices lead men,
| that a journal having tho slightest pretonsion to
respectability, should deliberately put forth an ar
! tide in whiah there is not a single truth told from
beginning to end. Yet such is the fact, and the
i following article affords an apt and forcible illus
i tration:
The Whigs in Power.—The Whig party, when
1 in power, always manage to overdo the business;
their reckless extravagance and enormous expoudi
; tures, if continued, bid fair to bankrupt the coun
| try 1 Let the people reflect npou the large sums of
' money that have beeu abstracted from the troasu
‘ ry, upon fraudulent claims, by the Corwins, Ew
ings and Crawfords, members of the Cabinet, men
whooe business it should have been to guard and
protect the treasury with a vigilant eye, but instead
of that they have been found to prostitute their
official positions iorthe purpose of enriching them
selves, at tbe expense or the toiling millions. Not
only this, but let them examine the records, and
j see that it has taken tire stupendous sum of sixty
millions of dollars, to carry on the government un
der Whig rule, in a time of.profouud peace, nearly
thirty millions more than was required under tho
administration of James K. Polk, which was en
gaged in a foreign and protracted war, and was
obligod to sustain a large army in tho field. Let
them remember that under Whig rule our flag has
been disgraced, by suffering an English war steam
er to fire with impunity upon one of our California
packets, with no other redress than’a simple apolo
gy that it would not bo repetded. This lias been
followed up by the seizure and confiscation of our
vessels, under tho plea of intruding upon waters
that wo liud a perfect right to under a long stand
ing treaty. It has allowed the Spanish authorities
to shoot down, without sous of onr own
soil, and ihat too without affording them a trial.
Thcso aud a hundred other wrongs eau be found
to testify to their utter weakness and imbooility
when in power.
The Canvass Iu a Kut Shell.
Under tho head of “Leases from the Sole Booh
of a Democratic Elector," the I.ouisvilio Junnud, in
1 thcfollowing article portrays in a most graphic rnr.u
--! ner, the plan adopted by the National Democracy of
I conducting the canvass. Alluding to this jem in its
j way, tho N. O. Bee says:—“ Tho Journal has said a
I great many good tilings during the present canvass,
• but we much question whether any tiling has ap
! peared in its columns equal in trenchant satire and
| exquisilo wit to the following article whieh wo find
! in that paper of the 4th inst. A more faithful aud
i luminous exposition of the incongruities aud incon
' sistcncies of Looofocoism we have never perused
llow we eatrio in possession of tho note-book of
a Democratic Eleotor is a secret that we mean to
keep to ourselves. No Democrat need serai eh his
head or hot her his bit of brain about this secret, for
it is, like Fierce’s gallant military deeds,past find
ing out. The elector from whose book we make
our extracts was well suited to his calling. Ho
strictly obeyed his construction of the apostolic in
junction, aud was “ all things to all men.” Wo
presume lie got his conscience insured before he
left homo, though tho premium under such circum
stances must have been extremely high.
It appears that tho Democratic olector regularly'
and carefully penned the experiences of the day
before lie retired for tlie niglit. Wo shall merely
give fragments from tbe conversations recorded by
him iu ordor to illustrate modern patent Democra
cy.
Notwithstanding Baltimore platforms, the mem
bers of the Democratic party arc very much iu tho
• habit ot building platforms to suit themselves
Thus it results that thoro are a hundred different
democratic platforms to suit tho notions of different
sections of tire party. For instance, there is the
Secessionist platform, the Union platform, tho Ta
riffite platform, tho Free-trade platform, <fcc,, &c.,
&e. Each ebay declares bis own to be the platform
of the party, and sticks to bis notions as persist
ently as a tick to the belly of a jackass. The Bal
timore plptfi rm is made for show and not for uso.
After bis first speech onr Democratic elector was
accosted by a very tierce Democrat who rejoices in
tbe occupation ot cobbling. The cobbler, after de
claring himself to bo an ocoan-bound Republic
mail, asked the elector whether Fierce and the De
mocracy were not of the same faith.
“Certainly,” replied tho elector, “Pierce is in
favor of carrying out Douglas’s expansive idea;
and will, if elected, annex Cuba, Mexico, and all
South Amorieudown to Patagonia, whore the me u
are so big that Jim Porter would hardly be a
dwarf.” •
“lie’s my man, then,” said tbe cobbler, “fori
am like the little giant, in favor of annexing every
thing. Hurra for Pierce!”
Tbe cobbler left well satisfice', and another iieroo
Democrat of the old school entered into conversa
tion wit li the elector. Among other things the an
cient Democrat said:
“ I lmte these new-fangled notions of Senator
Douglas and some other leading men in our party.
We’ve had annexation enough, aud to bring in
Mexicans and Cubans of all shades would ruin the
Republic. If I thought Pierce favored any suoh
monstrous doctrines, I’d not vote for him. How is
it friend?”
“ Oli, Pierce is sound ns a mackerel on that sub
ject, nty dear sir,” declared the elector. “Douglas
is doing the party no good by proclaiming his no
tions. But the fact is lie oiten gets ‘halt seas over,’
and then he’a in favor of all the islands in the seas.
He would seize Cuba and Canuda and every thing
else when he’s a good deal liow-oomo-vou-so; but
when the liquor is out and the wit is in, he’s not
half so grasping."
The next day onr elector made a speech in an
other village iu which he took the Polk ground,
that is, Ire was very non-committal in relation to
the tariff. When ho concluded, an old Democrat
of tho Jackson stripe took him aside and said:
“ I was glad you took the Jackson side of tha ta
riff question. Free trade would ruin us, sir. I
hope, sir, that our candidate is right side up on
that question."
“ Indeed, ire is,” replied the elector. “Pierceis
hot in favor ot incidental protection to our manu
factures.”
No sooner was this colloquy over than up stepped
a spruce young fellow to the elector and said:
“That old codger you were talking to is crazy on
the tariff. The old fool thinks that the Baltimore
platform endorses it. I’m an out-and-out free-tra
dist, and don’t think Democracy will flourish until
all odious monopolies ana distinction arc ground to
dust beneath tho Democratic heel, by Jupiterl I’m
glad Pierce is as straight as a shingle on that sub
ject.”
“ He’s notiiing else,” said the olector. “ Pierce
is hostile to all discriminations in our legislation
between ono class and another. Uo is an invetcruto
enemy of the. protective policy, and would veto a
bill that should protect a pair of stockings.”
Several days afterwards onr elector was accosted
by a zealous emancipationist who was very commu
nicative.
“I go for Democracy,” said the Emancipation
ists, “because Democracy denounces all distinc
tions founded on color. It doesn’t discriminate
between, whites, blacks, and copper-colored peo
ple. Its mission is to propogate universal liberty,
and it will before many years bo true to its in
stitutions. Igo for Democracy because Democra
cy goer for liberty. That New Boston speech of
Mr. Pierce’s was tho most brilliant effort of his
life. lie talked like a man on that occasion.”
“Certainly lie did,” chimed in the elector “That
New Boston speech would have done credit to
John Howard on account of its broad humanity.”
The next person who had an intorview with our
elector was a violent pro-slavery man that beiioves
with McDuffie that slavery is tho corner-stone of
our temple of liberty. He said:
“These Whigs are injuring Pierce by represent
ing him us opposed to slavery. Thoso' vile aboli
tion forgeries, will, i fear, do him much barm.
Why, sir, General Pierce is as true to slavery as
Calhoun was. Ho is a true northern man with
Southern principles. 1 support him because he
supports slavery.”
“You take a true view of Pierce’s opinion on
slavery,” .-aid the elector. “Ho is the strongest
friend* of slavery living. His success will be the
downfall of abolitionism.”
A little farther on he was approached by a weal
thy farmer, who in the course of conversation
said:
“ I should like to know something more of
Pierce’s opinions on the publio land question. I
would oppose him tooth and toe-nail if he leaned
to the land reformers, ns those scamps call them
selves wire want to get forms without money and
without price. Congress has squandered too much
public land. Those lauds ought to be hold sacred
for the benefit of the whole Union, and not be vo
ted nway in scraps for any purposes. The Balti
more platform is light in relation to them, and
Pierce, if 1 understand him, is right too.
“Exactly rigid,” repied the e’ector. He will
stick ft the Baltimore Convention resolution, with
a determination that'll not bo turned aside. He is
hostile to all sorts of land stealing, and his admin
istration will arrest all wastefulness of the public
lands.”
Another vehement Democrat waited on him af
ter suppor, and his talk was also about the public
lands. •
“Sir,” said he, “I am in favor of giving tho
land in the States in whieh they lie. That's sheer
justice. What right has South Carolina or Con
netieuttolands in Illinois? It's tho business of
the Democracy to do justice to the new States.—
How’s our candidate on this subject ?”
"He agrees with you exactly” replied tho clsotor,
with a benign expression of nice.
“Then lie shall have my vote,” said the vehe
ment Democrat, as he slouched his Hungarian hat
on the side of his head, and walked oft’ snapping
his fingers and whistling Jndy O'Flannegan.
After a while and honest Dutohmun approached
the elector and accosted him thus :
‘leh i houorai Pierce going for to send de army
to holp Kossuth ? Dat’s vat Ise for.”
“General Pierce, my good friend,” replied the
elector, wither winning smile, “is in favor of free
dom everywhere. Ho goes for Kossuth and inter
vention ; and when he’s elected every despot in
Europe wil! shiver in his shoes.”
Tho Dutchman walked off, expressing his satis
faction with Pierce's sentiments ; and tho elector
soon re eived a visit from a rich merchant.
“I am sorry” said the merchant, “that Mr.
Pierce i t not pledged against intervention. Some
of our progress men go in favor of that ruinous
principle in international affairs. Why sir, if we
intend to break np European despotism, how long
will it be before Europeans intervene in our affairs,
to’break up what they consider the desnotisin of
masters over their slaves? I believe the Whigs
are sound on this subject, and if I thought Pierce
favored this damnable political heresy I’d go for
Scott. How is it?”
“My dear sir,” answered the elector in a sooth
ing tone of voice, “ there’s nothing more certain
than that Pierce is resolved to attend to onr own
concerns aud let other nations get along as heaven
pleases. Intervention, sir, is not a heresy of
Fierce'?. He is unchangeably in favor of keeping
this Government clear from entangling alliances
with foreign nations.
“I a n glad to hen- you say so, and shall give
my influence and vote for Pierce with pleasure,”
said the merchant os he left the apartment. The
elector went to bed and slept, as tho note-book
says, “ like a rock.”
A few days afterwards he made a speech in a
river town. The speech was very Van Burnish
on the subject of internal improvements. An old
steamboat captain who was there laid up in ordi
nary, and who had been the hottest Jackson man
in tire country, was not entirely satisfied with the
elector, and invited him to his cottage, where,
after taking a tumbler of good old Bourbon, he
began to talk with him.
“I was a personal friend of Genera! Jackson’*, j
said tbe old captain, os he wiped his lip 3 with his j
red bandanna, “ and had maDy a talk with him j
about interna! improvements. That great good j
man was a determined friend of river and harbor
improvements; and it is to be regretted, sir, that
eo many of our friends, have taken the wroDg chute
on that subject. I'll never insult Jackson’s memo
ry and ‘rtmplc on his principles so for as to vote
for a man wt o is opposed to removing the obstruc
tions from the channels of our rivers.” I hope that
there’s uo reason to doubt General Pierce on this
subject, though the Whigs sav he always voted
against internal improvement bill* when in Con
gress. llow is it V'
“ Why, sir,” eaid the elector clearing his throat
end scratching his head, “it must be confessed
that Pierce did vote against some bills of that
Kind, but it wa»,bocanse they contained items that
were not constitutional’. He* is iu favor of clearing
out the heds.of our rivers and the harbors on onr
lakes. He will never oppose his party on this
subject, [t is against a‘general system,’ and not
particular improvement*, that onr party is pledged.
Pierce, sir, is just as warm a friend to river and
harbor improvements by tho General Government
as you are.
This stn’ement satisfied lire old captain, and
the elector walked off feeling very happy. He was
soon accosted by a gentleman who said to him:
“ I am one of those straigiit-ont Democrats who
believe that there’s no warrant in the Constitution
for internal improvements by the Federal Govern
ment. Igo with Dongle*, and the party most go
with him too. Tbe State* must tax commerce and
tho* raise a fund to clear obstructions from tbe
rivers ami harbors. Sir, if the Ohio wore planted
with snugs ns thick as tbo cornstalks in this field,
the Government would have no right to pull one
of them out. lam glad that Pierce is right on this,
as he ia on all other subjects.” *
“Ho is, sir,” replied tho elector. “Asa member
of Congress ho always opposed internal improve
ments, and as President will veto any bill mak
ing appropriations for such objects. There's not a
more reliable man in the land than Franklin
Pierce.”
The note-book from which we have mado those
“ elegant extracts” contains reports of a groat
many conversations between the oleetor and anx
ious Democrats on the interesting topics of Pierce's
fainting fits when any fighting was to be done, his
shipped face, tho stick of candy, and his magnifi
cent donation of a quarter of a’ dollar to a Sunday
school library. Our eleotor was successful in giv
ing every body satisfaction. Wnorovcr ho went ho
cleared up the doubts that troubled tho minds of
the Democracy, and confirmed all those who were
wavering in the faith. Judging trom his own ac
count he was eminently flitted tortile task imposed
on him by the Democracy. He never suffered any
scruple to provent his doing his duty to Ilia party.
His object, was to secure votes for Pierce, uud fie
used all the moans in his power to secure that ob
ject. If Pierce should bo elected, our elector
ought to be seut as minister to Paraguay, where a
sleek touguo and a well-behaved and supple con
science are more in vogue than elsewhere. He
Bhall have our recommendation for that post—
when Pierce is elected.
Railroad* in Progress. —From information at
our disposal, wo doubt not that tho extension of
the South \\ oslcrn Railroad to Americas, in Sum
ter county, will be completed in all the year 1853.
The same may be said of the Columbus and Ope
lika Railroad. The connection from Ft. Valley on
| tho South Western to Columbuß will be completed
I by March or April next, aud tho connection with
Augusta (via Waynesboro) will be secured on or
before the Ist of Augnst next.
Tho Columbus Enquirer copies tho above para
graph from the Savannah Republican, and “pitcho*
in” to the railroad builders of that section in tli*
following very significant strain:
I Weil neighbor, the easiest way to build railroads
i is by doing it on paper—and we horo have hud
[ some experience in that method of doing things.
I In the matter of that connection at Butler, for in
stance, there have been nearly «s many reports as
there are miles in tho railroad. By these reports it
was to have been dono by the Ist. then the 15th
of October instant, tlion put off until November
next the report of tue Engineer on South Western •
Road put it down as certain, on the Ist of February;
but now yon have postponed it until March or
April next 1 The former reports having proved so
uncertain, but few of us believe that any body
knows anything about it—yet, fiom “reliable in
formation,” we have hopes that tho road will cer
tainly bo finished by next Christmas year. And
if we can form any correct oiitorion from tho past,
as to tho completion of tho Opelika branch, you
Mn draw on us for a wool hat if that road is in op
eration within two years from this data.
Stewart’s.— The New York Courier and Enqui
rer answers tho question, whether there is any sin
gle establishment in Europe eomparablo to Stew
art’s, as follows:—“We answer, unhesitatingly,
So. The civilized world can boast of no similar
establishment—of none whioh begins, oven, to
compare with it in beauty of structure, in extent,
| in the variety and costliness of its wares, or in tho
! amount of its sales. It is, in its way, the wonder
i of the age; and no traveller visiting New York
j should fail lo visit this business palace of a rnor
j ohaut prince, the sales within which will reach, this
year, tan million of dollars—whioh givcß ocoupa
' tion in-doors to nearly three hundred olerks and
book-keepers—and which boasts a system so per
fect, under tho direction of one master mind, that
its vast allairs ale condueted with as much regular
ity as an ordinary retail shop which employs only
acouploof clerks.
Railroad Iron.— The Railroad Journal says —
Railroad Iren cannot now be imported at loss than
$56 or $52 per ton. Within a yoar from data, tho
English articlo has been laid down upon wharves
at $35. Tiie advance therefore is equal to from sls
to sl7 per ton. Notwithstanding the high figure
it has reached, wo do not see any prospect of an
immediate doolice.
The advance operates with peculiar hardship
upon snob of onr companies as aro now compelled
to purchase, A company having a road of 100
miles in length will havo to pay from $l5O to $170,-
000, in duty alone.
Tho important ship canal which is to unite Lake
Superior and Michigan will soon be begun. The
surveys tor its location have been completed, and
the ground has been found quito as favorable for
the easy and speedy construction of the work as
was expectod. Soveral routes have been surveyed
whioh will enable the Legislature of Michigan and
contractors to obtain a perleot understanding of
tho whole subject. The cunal will be a suction less
than a mile iu length. The law of Congress pro
vides that the looks shall bo at least 250 foot long
. and 60 feet wido, and the Michigan Legislature lias
power to enlarge the dimensions.
There were eighty-two deaths in Baltimore for tho
week endiug on Monday last. Eleven wore color
ed persons. In Philadelphia tho deaths for tho
week ending on Saturday morning comprised only
111, an unusually small number for that city.
The Now London Chronicle says tho cars ot tho
New London Worcester and Pnlmerßailroadoamo
down to the joint depot on Monday, thus connect
ing with the New Haven and New London road.
, There is now, therefore, unintarerruptod railroad
communication from New York to Norwich, and
as soon as the very short track is laid down in the
latter oily—a quarter of a mile being all that is want
ed to complete tho connection of the two sontliora
roads with tho Norwich and Worcester—the line
will be continuous from New York to Boston.
For Liberia. —Tho Lancaster (8. C.) Ledger
says Some little excitement was exhibited in
our town on Friday last, occasioned by the depar
ture of Borne thirty three free negroes for Liberia,
i They comprise five families all of Lancaster Dis
trict. Jaoobs, tho pioneer of this bandjlms always
sustained an unexceptionable ohnracter for pro
bity and honesty, aud his loss is regretted by
many ; however, they seem to think Liberia is tho
placo for them, and no doubt it is, and we wish all
other free negroes would follow. Jacobs and his
party will bo shipped from Wilmington N. C., by
the Oolinization Society.
Death oe Col. John G. Gamble. —Wo are deep
ly pained to announoe, says tho Tallahassee Senti
nel, of the 19th inat., the sudden death of Col.
John G. Gamble, which took place at Neomathla,
his residence in this county, early this morning.
We learn from a servant that Col. G. had risen ap
parently in his usual health, and walked to the
door of his house, when he suddenly fell and ex
pired. This melancholy news in town awaken g
universal surprise and concern.
Mount .Etna.— Tho latest advices from Sicily
represent the eruption of iEtna as continuing in
fall force and vigor. Three craters have been
thrown up 4,292 feet above th« level of the sea,
and are incessantly ejecting sand, ashes, flame and
lava. Upon the commencement of the convulsion,
imraenso columns of fire issued from the crater at
the summit of the cone 11,200 feet above the level
of the sea. In some places huge mountains of lava
hive boon formed by the floods, which hare pour
ed over caoh other, congealing together in a solid
mass. The seat of eruption is on the East side of the
mountain, in tho plain of Giamiieola, which part, in
consequence of its exemption from a similar catas
trophe for 500 years, has become one of the most
productive regions in the island.
P Travel on Long Island Sound has been greatly
increased in consequence of tho lata reduction of
fare. Tho Boston Chronicle says:
“One dollar and a half now takes a person from
the Athens of America to the Commercial Metro
polis. The rivalry commenced with some one of
the roads lowering the tariff on freight, or when
charging full prices, according to the standard
agreod upon mado tho measure short. And to
meet the ease, all conference between the lines
failing, the fare was put down.
The Will or Stephen Girard.— Judge Grier, in
the C. S. Circuit Court at Philadelphia, charged
the jury, on Tuesday, in favor of the heirs of Ste
phen Girard, who claim eleven tracts of laud in
Schuylkill county, valued at $1,100,000, on the
groun d that when Girard’a will was made he did
not own tiie entire titles to the lands; therefore,
the will was inoperative. The jury rendered a
verdict in favor of tho heirs. Tho case will pro
bably go to the Supreme Court.
A monster blast by gunpowder, fired by means
of a galvanic battery, took place lately at Furness
quarry on Loohfine, near Inverary. It is compu

varying in size from five tons downwards. Tho
total charge of powder was 6000 pounds.

Last Illness of Mr. Webster.
Although the reader is informed of tho fatal ter
mination of Mr. Webster’s illness, yet aa every
thing, however trivial, connected with tho last
moments of so illustrious a man is read with mel

ing items collected from various sources:
Boston, Oct. 28.—W0 have intelligence from

with great calmness, resignation and composure.
During the afternoon and evening he inis con

in relation to the disposal of his private affairs.—
He gave full directions ill relation to his farms,
giving tiie most minute state i.eut of hia wishos in
regard to them.
Ats o’clock in tiie afternoon, ho wbs seized with
a violent nausea, and raised considerable dark mut

In Washington Crrr.—ln this city, whore Mr-
Webster’s long and but littlo interrupted residence
