“Wbou Col. William L Mitohe.l, in ISSI, retired
from I'k* ihi ;t ngie*jrehip ot the Western &. At

lasted until Ho” ell Cobb became Governor, when
In* appealed to the Legislature for assistance to put
tl.e State Hoad in a proper condition as a Urst class
work. At thin time a debt had accrued on account
i.f rolling stock loaned by the Geoargia, and other
li •. 1, flint on other accounts ot about $210,500. —
The Legislature made a mun ticont appropriation,
and before G *v. Cobb’s term closed, the Roa<l was

( onefruetiou and motive power. Jt was jaet Usgiu

other linos tributary to it.; and to-day, gives the

The Prospects of Kkinforckments —On the
28th of May Sir Henry Luwrtnce wrote, from Luck
kjw, to Sir Hugh Wheeler, at Cawnpore, “You
are a pillar of Blreugth to us at this juncture.” In
a little more than a month both of the.se pillars of
tbe British empire in India had fallen. Wi'iough
by. the brave and modest —WilJoi'gbby* who fired
the powder magazine ut Delhi—is no more. There
Lave been other, though less important, losses in
high quarters. Anson has already been followed by
Bernard; and both of Lhe two mcapables who fal
tered in the face of mutiny at Aurungabad and Be
nares appear to have retired ou tbe pleu of aid'*
ness. .
There is reason to fear for the survivors. Neul,
worthy to be a fellow-soldier of Lawrence and
Wheeler, was iirought almost lo the doors of death
while making his heroic exertions for tue defence of
Allahabad and the relief of CawDpore. 4nd both j
at Delhi and Allahabad disease would appear to
h&.v e occasioned more deatii among the rank and
file of our European army than .be mutineers. It
ia this thong t that weighs upon the heart of the na
tion whenever India is mentioned. True the muti
neers recoil and reel baokwaid whenever they are
compelled to cross bayonets with the loyal troops. —
But battle, pestilence, ai.d famine conspire against
the European nucleus of that portion ol the soldiery
upon whorr we can rely, and unless their xjumbe; s
be speedily augmented they may melt away even
in the miept of victories. It ia thie that makes evtiy
earnest man writhe with impatience when the 11-p
----pant mouthpieces of government, in the press or m
paniainent, prate about the great things to be done
when the army, so scattered in small detachments
over the ocean, shall assemble in India in the 000 l
season of tie year.
Let us reel the first troop-ship for India sailed
from England on the last of June, bine? thut lime
troop ships have been taking their departure almost
daily for Calcutta and Kurachee. The average to
ludia round the Capo cannot be estimated under
three months. About the end of September the first
reinforcements may b gin to reach Calcutta an l
Kurrachee, and they will keep dropping ini here
throughout the mouths of O t -oer, [November ami
December. But troops canr.ot be forwarded from
Ca'cutta t > Alahabad, or from Kurachee to Moo!-
tau, in less than three weeks. It will, therefore*, be
th*- beginning of November before the first driblets
of these vaunted reinforcem iuts reach the thenfro
of war. Our most ret. ut accounts from that (juar
ter reach only to the middle of July. What effect ,
may not battle, pestilence and fame have wrought J
in tlie course of three months upon the small Euro
peau force that so gallantly making head gainst
the insurgent multitudes f arus, give me back
uy legioi.s!” Augustus is said to have cried in Ins
sleep, after the slaughter of the Romans in the i 1 ;- ,
surrection of the Germans on the Lower Ulrne. In !
like manner, JOngland, while tesjing in the dreauib
of distempered sleep, may, ere long, call in vain for
those gallant legions whoso bones may theu whiten
all tbe regions of liindostan.
Inoia.—Southampton, Friday—The steamer
Kipon has arrived with the India, Chino, and Aus
tration mails. Left Alexandria August 21-t, Malta
25th, and Gibraltar 30th.
The Ripon steamer brings 2,3‘J7 bales of silk.—
Amongst the passengers i-< Mi-s Stal ard, who nar
rowly escaped being slain at Meerut; also v/a-* alter
wards in a carrUige with five others, three cl wLont
were murdered. Mr. Hay, a missionary, with Ins
wi'.e and children, are also paasenge s, they escaped
with only a few shillinga. The Calcutta passengers
seem to think the mutineers at Delhi could not hold
out much longer. Although the ordinary telegraphic
advicos from India are not expected before the 10th
or 12th, it i not impossible that the news may ar
rive before those dates.
A letter from Damascus, of August sth, states
that the son ot an English merchant there, named j
Whyte, whose fortune is estimated at £‘200,000 i
sterling, 1 ad, at his own expense, raised and equip
ped a corps of 30 Europeans, with whom he had set |
out to join the British force iu the Eaet Indies as a .
volunteer. They are armed with fowling pieces and ■
swords, and accompanied by a Swiss surgeon.
The Latest.
London, S iturday, Sept. sth.—The fund's have
been dull. They opened at a decline of |d, and j
Hubecquently experienced a further fall. The pur
chases of the public have lately diminished, aud the
supply of mouey being thus abundant, short loans
on government securities were iu demand at 4J t ‘
cent. This being the-Ith ot the month, there was
increased activity in the discount market and in
the applications ai the bank. The payments falling
due were understood to have been gcueially met. —
About £12,000 of gold was sold to the bank to-day.
The increase of bulliou at the banka during the past
fortnight, has not been so great as might have been
expected from the large ai rivals and the state ot
the exchanges. At this season there is always a
large absorption of coin for the purpose ol home
and continental services, aud the act* unis also
withdrawn for the harvest, scarcely begin to return
till a later period —Times Cuy Article.
The tunas sustained to-day a fresh tail of 1 per
cent, ow ing chiefly to the apprehension that further
unfavorable intelligence may arrive by the next
mail from India. The belief is also gaining ground
that a loan must ultimately be resorted to, to meet
the heavy expenses incurred in the movement of
troops, Arc. The bills falling due to-day appear on
the whole to have beeu well met. —News City Ar

Awful I*oiouing Case iu Pike —Thirty-Seven
Poisoned—Six Bead —A Terrible Retribu
tion !
One of our subscribers, from Pike county, inform
ed ua yesterday of a most horrible and atrocious
case of poisoning in that ocumy, just below the line
of Montgomery, and in the neighborhood ot Bruce-
Y ille. The annals of crime will hardly chow a more
extensive and diabolical piece of viilany.
It seems that a German, or Hungarian, whose
name our infoiuiant had forgotten, was on intimate
terms with a negro woman, the property of old Mr.
Thornes Kraz ell, one of the earliest settlers of Pike.
This man had once been in the employ of Mr K.,
ttUvi was familiar with his premises Some time
since, iis had been detected iu gambliug with Mr.
V. s negroes, and Mr. F. had instituted a prosecutiou
against him. On Saturday evening, l-th inst., he
was seen iu conversation with the negro woman
above alluded to, at the well, although he had re
ceived orders from Mr. Frazell never to come about
his premises
On Sunday, there were some fhtrfy-srrrn persons
dining at Mr. Kras ell’s house, of whom about thirty
wero visitors from the neighborhood All these be
came sick soon after eating, vomiting violently ;
aDd the cook being arrested immediately, on a eu*
pkciou of poisoning, at once proceeded to state fw
follows: She said that the whito man above refer
red to, wini at the well, bad given her a vial con
taining arsenic, which he instiucted her to mingle
with “the meal, tue milk, the butter and the coif* e ” !
lie war part it ulariy dteircu* that it should g*> into j
•tvry article ot food, b CflUe? old M FrazcT! was ‘
in delicate health, and generally ate very sparingly, j
The negro woman said she followed the directions
of her lover to the letter—who, by the way. added j
to his instructions the remark, that “after the old
:nau had tak 11 that, he would hardly prosecute him
in that ia*e.”
’The poison was ndmistertd, as we have seen, but
too MUececafully. The whole assemblage cf persons
were pul under its ‘rotiuenec eod at the last ac
•MHiut* six had died from its effects. Old Mr. Fra
zell died about sun*et of Sunday, the Jay of the
I poisiuiing Hia Overseer’s wife ard two children,
Mrs. Ctculd, a widowed daughter of Mr. F and
I Mr. F s giand-daughter, died the next day. Several
I others were lying in a critical condition, and doub l -
les* there will be more victims ol this awfully fieud
ish crime
Mr Jack Fr.zeil con of the old van, happened
to be out of* meal, on the day of the poisoning, and
*eai to his father's and borrowed a bushel. A ! who
partook of tins, including a broth* r who had decTfc
.*<t t> ea at ho* father s —having come it after some
**f the -ompa.*v had got tick—were more or less
i affected. *
After we had written the above otrr info*mant.
Mr.J. M Johnson, ol Pike oali*d on and
gave 11* the name of the j*oisocer, wb : ehk Comiska ‘
Mr. J. further states, that the infuriated people of
ihe neighborhood have burnt the negro woman, and [

December 31, 1857, will not exceed one hunored
Lhcuoaud ; or, even if it should teach one hundr-d
and fifty thoi sand, it could not diminish seriously
the number brought to market. This will Ixß envious
to any person upon the retiection that in Ken.'ivjky,
Ohio, 1 idiar.a and Illin<>io there were over six mil
lions r.ogs six looiiths old and upwards on the Ist ol
iait April. We think we may assume now. without
fern of contradiction, that the supply of hogs is am
ple. The next question is, there be a large or a
tiuall number ol them brought to market. In older
tu arrive at a correct conc'usiou with reference to
th ; s, it is necessary for us to examine into the epringa
of human actiops and see what men will do or not
do ab a geneial Uiing under certain circumstances.
It is ease and reasonable to suppose that the far
mer will turn his attention to the cultivation of
that which, from the evidences before him or the
inducements held ont, promiles the most ample
reward for his laborand the more overwhelming
are the evidences in favor of the profits llkelv so
accrue, the more assiduity will be exercised in the
production of the article- Now iet us see what are
the induce me nt© to “cultivate.” hogs, and what is
the supply of the means with which they can be
prepared for market. Since tbe Ist of last January,
hogs have ruled higher than fora loug Horie. of
j ears, end the demand for them to been cctive,
consequently the inducements to breed them and
take care cf them have been stronger than they
Lave been for many years ; and the result of this
is shown by the assessor’s return we publish. The
ppring and summer, though late, have proved
unusually favorable for all hinds of vegetation.
everything suitable lor food for man and beast
grew in lhe greatest profusion thioughout the length
J and breath of the land ; the wheat, barley, rye, oats
and hay crops now gathered are the most abundant
that cau be well imagined, end tbe corn and potato
crops now nearly matured, exceed, both as regards
quantity and quality, any ever gathered ir. the
country. During the whole summer and up to the
present time strong inducements have existed to
take the beet care of hogs, uitd none can suppose for
a moment that the best care baa not been taken of
them j and mere especially, when such ample
means exist with which to do this. So then here we
find the strongest inducement to breed end take
care of hogs, the last tine months, that has ever
existed before ; and along with this greatest aban
dauoe of food with which to fatten them. The re
sult, then, must be a large increase in the number
brought to maiket and a “loug hog crop.”

Yesterday wa had the pleasure of meeting with
an old acquaintance in tha person of Dr. Ali. Hoy,
who had just arrived from California, by way of
Salt Lake, from whom we gather some facts and in
cident* worth relating.
At Salt Lake they were joined by Mr. Barr, of
Philadelphia, and Mr. Mogo, a Frenchman. The
Litter gentleman was driven out of Salt Lake by tlie
Mormons, or rather he was compelled to tiy thence
to save his life, leaving his wife behind him, who
was s : c k and could not fohow.
At Salt Lake city, they found the Mormons ma
king considerable preparations to resist the United
States troops, who were expected to attack them.
1 No fortifications, however, were being made, except
at Fort Bridger, 113 miles this side of Salt Lake,
where they were engaged !n throwing up a wall of
defence, ‘f wo things had just occurred which great
ly incensed the Mormons—the withdrawal ol the
mail contract from Brigham Young and consequent
| cassation of all mail facilities, and the return ot two
1 men from the States, who appear to have been
spies sent out to gather all tin* information they
could touching the intentions of the Federal Gov
ernment.
These .wo events formed the theme of Brigham
Young's “sermon,” on Sunday, of which Dr. Hoy
speakiinthd most derogatory terms lie esys it
was nothing but a trade against the United States.
He ißrigham) spoke of the coming troops said he
would send the women against them, and called Gtn.
llainey the Squaw-killer, whom be intended to
send to hell cross lots, if he was not deposed ot by
some other person. As he ssid this he placed his
hand on a concealed dagger. He said the provisions,
wagons, &,c., would get to Salt Lake, but the troops
never. During Ida sermon the prophet ordered all
the mechanics to leave their Bbopa and help the
farmers to gather their crops, in preparation, wc
suppose, for war.
Dr. Hoy's account of the Mormons and their Sun
day worship is ludicrous in the extreme. Treache
j roua and treasonable they certainly are, and in the
j blasphemy of their e >nduct,unequalled in the world,
j During his sermon the prophet asked what should
1 I done with certain characters if taken. The res
-1 ponse came up from various partß of ‘he cougregr.
i tion: “Send’em to hell!” * Yes,” said Brigham,
I “that’s what we’ll do with them —send them to hell!”
j During tbe Suuday service, the Doc* or ays, they
! sang a parody on the “Bob tail Horse, or “Du da
day,” as sung by tbe boys of Lexington. The chorus
| as sung by the Mormons runs somewhat thus :
• We’ll serve the Lord to day
The Prophet we’ll obey,
And you may worship whom you please,
We will mind what Brigham hvh,
Du da, du da day.”
On'the route they met a very large emigration go
ing to California. They were very backward, but
*“etned to be getting along very well otherwise. —
No richness among the emigrants, except a tew ca
ses of scurvy. _
The Steamer Norfolk—The Norfolk Argus
.says of this steamer, lost in Chesapeake bay, in the
gale of last Sunday :
The Norfolk was a s‘rong and well built boat, ca
pable of carrying a large amount of freight, an i
was deeply laden with goods for this city, Ac,
having on board for Norfolk and Portsmouth alone,
fre ght amounting to SIOO,OO0 —a large portion of
which was not insured. One house in this city had
on board silks, cloths, <fcc , to tho amount of #lO,-
000, which, we regret to state, was not insured.
We learn there was no insurance on the boat.
The Norfolk had on board some fifteen passen
gers and a full assorted cargo. Sbe was n side
wheel boat of Oil tons burden. The ill fated steam
er was about eleven years old. She Yvas rebuilt
and lengthened in 1853.
The passengers and crew were all saved. The
Norfolk Herald of yesterday says :
The Norfolk bad 011 board a full freight of goods
consigned up the country ; though nothing near the
amount for this city which was at first suggested.—
We have taken some pains to ascertain a* near as
possible the amount, and r re inclined to believe that
it does Dot exceed $20,000. One house is stated to
have had goods shipped to the value of eight or ten
thousand dollars, with a probability that insurance
was not made ; but beyond this we could hear of
none whose risks were over SI,OOO, though there are
doubtless a large number of consignees of goods of
inconsiderable amounts iu the city, the aggregate
of wlrch will not overreach the sum we have
named.
The following letter in the Baltimore Sun gives
further particulars:

Off Lewes, Del, Sept. 15, A. M. \
We arrived here this morning to land the officers

them, particularly the ladies and children, hau no
thing on but their night clothes. They were picked
up on Monday at 24 l*. M., after ben g out nine

Destravtive Fire.
We have to notive the most destructive tiie
which has occurred iu our city for several years. It
commenced yesterday morning about I.] o’clock, iu
a stable in St. Phillips street, between Radditfe
and Morris streets, and the wind blowing briskly
from the southwest, carried the flames rapidly
through the block to King street, consuming,
among other buildings, the old Bull’s Head Tavern,
with all its appurtenanoea. On the south of the
hotel a building owned and occupied bj Mr. Heuc
ken, and a three story building; owned aud occu
pied by Mr. U. otenaer, were destroyed. On fho
north of the hotel the large drug store of Mr. W.
Honan, and five small buildings, owned by P. Mc-
Bride. were eoi Bum*;d.
The groat heat of the immense body of flame
ignited the extensive livery stables of Mr. Robert
Hade on the East side of King-street, wFq a fortu
nately, but with much difficulty, saved his orsea
by breaking through the back part of his stable.
The tire extended southwardly to Arnold s black
smith and carriage shop, and a large three-story
building, the property of VV. C. Dukes, Esq. North
ward y, it consumed a small building belonging ■
Mr John Torley, aud the lartre drug store on Vkfc |
corner of Mary street, belonging to Dr. Win. Horn- !
null, aud two small buildings owned byMrJ.
Torlay, on Mary street, and three others beitmging
toW. (J. Dukes, Esq.
’The progre sot the flames was arrested by the
large building recently erected for the South Caro
lina Kiilroad Company, by Messru. Wharton Ac
Putsch, which was considerably scorohed. and, but
for the strenuous efforts of the firemen, its destruc
tion would have added a laige amount to the sum
total involved in th ; 9 disastrous fire.
The Firemen devoted their best energies lo ar
rest the pr ‘gross of the flames, but their efforts were
repeatedly paralyzed by the want of water, to which
a large proportion ot the locs may be fairly attribu
ted.

From Kansas. —We have accounts from Kansas
of late date. The State Convention was in session
at Leeonipton. John Calhoun ivas elected Presi
dent on the first ballot, the vote being, for Calhoun
27, Judge Elmore I*2; L. J. Eastou 0. Mr. Hughes,
late Chief Clerk ot the Kansas Legislature, was
elected Secretary, Mr. Cfewer Sergeant-afc-Arms,
and the correspondent of the New York Times,
whose name is not given, was elected reporter of
proceedings.
Our correspondent writes <c The officers consti
tuting the Utah Territorial Gorvermnent have not
yet started, though at one time they were on the
point of doing so, and were only stopped by an or
der from the War Department. Five hundred ofii
cers and soldiers yesterday sat out for New Mexico.
Col. Johnson, of Texas, is to take command of the
Utah expedition instead of Gen. Harney, which, by
the bye.seems to be strange treatment of the Gen
eral. But Gov. Walker, we aresat’sfied, thinks his
presence important in Kf.nsas, and he has therefore
signified his desire for his retention here. Gov.
Gumming is getting impatient to visit the dominion
of Gov. B. Youag, and would like to be under way.
The Secretary of the Territory, John Hartnett, has
thrown asicio his merry humor while in St. Louis, ,
but he is in excellent spirits. Both he and the Go- j
vernor have many friends here, and are much es- ’
teemed. Many reports come in here iu relation io
the threats of the Mormons, but they are all no doubt
much ex ggerated. As soon as the Colonel com
manding arrives, the expedition will move forward,
but even then forced marches will have to be made
in order to reach Salt Lake v alley before the winter
sets in.
Gov. Walker is now fct Fort Leavenworth, pro
bably consulting with Gen. Harney as to the course
hereafter to be pursued.
The St. Joseph Journal of the 10th, gives an ac
count of a fight between Col. Sumner's command
and a band of Indians, about the middle of August,
on the Arkansas river. The Indians fought ae well
us any disciplined troops could have done. They
received thofiro cf the Americans, and returned it
with effect, killing and w ounding four of them.—
The loss of the Indiana was twenty killed and woun
ded The soldiers wore greatly dissatisfied with
their treatment, tin* want of provisions, &c. Col.
Sumner had sent to Fort Keaimey for a supply,
and it was on iht* route for the place where they
were stationed.— St. Louis Republican.
Careful IT and l wo.— The way in which R. L.
Pell has his Newtown pippins gathered, isjone
great reason cf b success and high profits in fo
reign markets. Hi* men gather the apples by
means of hooked baskets suspended in the tree ;
the apples as gathered, are laid one at a time in the
bottom of the basket, a ,i d when filled the man comes
dowq nod places two at. a time in the bushei bas
kets. To prevent the possibility of bruising, these
are drawn to the fruit house on a sled by oxen, and
two apples only are taken out at a time till all are
carefully deposited on the floor. When barrelled,
they are dravn on a: led to the river, and are car
ried. not rolled, on board the steamer; when ship
ped for England, one barrel is hoisted at a time,
and caught 011 a man's huu!der at the ship, and car
ried by two men and deposited in its place. When
again unloaded the riaine care i.~ observed, the bar
rel < being ce r ried off on a hand-barrow.
Throughout the whole process the same care is
observed ae in carrying a looking glass. “This is
:aking too much trouble, by all odds,” exclaims
some person, who would prefer the decay
of his apple *, and the of all h":< nett profits iu
market to tlie greatly d-eaded ‘‘trouble” of being
oarefr’. Ho can have .>!* own choice in the matter,
but it is hardly worth wink? to ph*i>t or raise trees and
then throw- away their products.

The Kessons in a Nut Shell.
We commend, to the attention of every reader the
letter of K. H. Williams and his four Sons, Os
Jaokson county, giving their reasons for voting for
B. H. Hill. It is altogether one of the most forci
ble and satisfactory documents of the campaign .
condensing, as it does, a volume in a few lines. They
have always voted tho Democratic ticket, but on
this occasion duty to the country, the South and her
institutions, rises superior to their obligations to
partj . Such men are truly patriotic. They have
the intelligence to discover, and the manliness and
independence to perforin their duty.

Another Letter from “Uncle Ben.”
The fellowing extracts from a private letter, from
’ Benjamin Brantley, of Kansas, so extensively
I and favorably known in Georgia, to his friend in

polity , upon the future character of the State of
Kan! is, and feeling confident, if that polioy be pur
sued and carried out, that slavery must be excluded
from the State; the old gentleman feels that his ne
groas will be insecure there, aud he has commenced
in ti ill*; to look out anew home in a Slave State-
Tine first portion of his letter, is therefore devoted to
a brief sketch, of a tour recently made by him*

Fort Scott, K. TANARUS„ Sept. 8, 1837.
- The political affair- of Kansas Territory wear such
an aspect just now, a* to loosen any tie that myself
! or any member of my family mav have contracted,
i When I left the Territory in March last to see my
! Georgia friends, all was well, and no fear was ex
\ pressed as to the Southern settlers beiogabie to car
! ry the effort through to have a slave Constitution
j and a slave State. At the Territorial Convention
j the 2d Monday in January last, when it was re
solved to call a Constitutional Convention, no one ev
er dreamt Hint tbe hirelings sent into the Territory by
Aid Societies after that date, were to vote upon the
Constitution ; and any member of the Convention,
or of tbe Legislature which fol owed, would have
been hooted out of countenance, had he suggested
such an idea.
Congress and the country had been in an uproar
about Missourians voting, and a volume, as large
as a Dutchman’s cheese, had been prepared by a
celebrated committee of Congress, to show that the
citizens of the Territory had not decided former
elections. If 1 ever acted earnestly and honestly in
my lift:, to put an end to agitation and strife. 1 did so
in the ’onvention aud in the Legislature, in attempt
ing to form a Bill, fair to all parties, and to putit in the
bandit of the actual citizens of the Territory, to de
cide the question. I have never yet heard the rm
parality of the Convention bill gainsaid. So soon
as it whs passed, our opponents, seeing the hope
lecsmtss of their cause, called a convention at To
pcha, declared that they would have nothing to do
with the arrangement. Tbe alarm waa given, and
ei line 10,000 or 13,000 carpet bag and wallet settlers
were despatched to the Territory, with food and
clothing for one year , and now our National Admin
istration—the National Democratic Administration,
interfai'S, and says that alt the inhabitants, ir
reapect -ve of citizenship or the time of their arrival
in the T rritnry, shall vote upon the ra'ideation of
the Constitution, or it shall be rejected by Con
gress! I Aud all this to secure tbe electionjof a Dem
ocrat, a Northei n Freesoil Democrat , to the Presi-
I deucy in I860!:! But my heartßickeus. An old
j Democratic friend in Georgia—died in the wool—
I wrote me that “ninety-nine hundredths of the De
j mocratic party in Georgia would condemn tbe
I coursr of the Administration" —but recently I see
tbit the “cohesive power’* has exerted its influence,
and from the signs I can glean from the Georain
papers I occasionally receive, I suppose, as I ex
pected, the command at Washington has had its
effect. Ohmy country, I sigh for thee.
The course of the party iu potrer, has intimidated
our friends in Kansas. Our office holders generally
have bowed the knee to baa! ami the timid think it
good policy to be passive. Our Constitutional Con
veution was to convene on Monday last, but it will
be brow-beaten and intimidated, .tnd you need not
be surprised if Southern interests are not irrevoca
bly lost in the Territory.
Truly, yours, Ben.i. Brantlt.

was broken open on M ‘liday night, and S3OO in cash
and a large amount of jewelry, consisting of gold

effected by turning tbe key of the lock door from

Col. Joshua Hill. —The Sparta Georgian says'.
—This gentleman, according to appointment, ad
dressed the Citizens of Hancock on Saturday last,
much to the satisfaction of his party. He gave Mr.
Stephens the privilege of an equal reply as to time,
with the closing speech. Mr. Hill is a tower of
strength to the party he represents, and is certainly
one of the mildest, cleanest and most gentlemanly
men we have ever met He will leave his mark
wherever he goes, and 1* intends to visit every
county in the District.
Mr. Hill's Proposition to Mr. Brown.—We
understand, says the Georgia Citizen, that Hr. Hill,
on Saturday, at Griffin, proposed publicly, that if
Mr Brown would agree to canvass Southwestern
Georgia with him, he might have the conclusion
every time, if he would not discuss the questions on
any other condition ! This it a fair proposition, and
if not accepted by Brown, it will be known that
Brown iu afraid to meet his honorable opponent on
any terms.

State Rond Comrnrte.
The Atlanta American contains the following no.
tiee of a nice little privity speculation, in a con
tract on the State road, which should attract the
public attention. This is one of the natural reeu ts
of the system of letting coutraots privately. Tbe
managers of the road refuse to advertise for b-ds
to execute work—thus they keep out competition,
aud they are enabled by private contracts to secure
to themselves a good fat share iu tbe contracts so
made. Thus the employees on the road are de
moralized aDd corrupted, and every man seems to
think k perfectly right to filch whatever he can
from the State :
From the Atlanta American.
State Road Contracts.— As the State road, its
j management, &c , is beginning to attract the notice
I of the publi.', we wi h to invite attention to the
history of a recent contract, its failure, aud then
enquire, whether such management will be approv
ed, sustained and continued by the voters of Geor
gia 1
We allude to the Culvert over Allatoona Ore jk.
This work was let out by private contract at the
rate of seven dollars per perch for the masonry, and
cost the State, altogether, some $55,000. While the
work was progressing, Mr. Leliardy, the Engineer
was frequently there, and protested agarnst the
foundation. The work, however, went on to com
pletion aud waa tendered to the proper officer. Mr.
L-llardy, in compliance with his obligations to tha
State, having tho knowledge he did of its defective
foundation, very properly aud positively refused to
receive the work Resort was then had to the opin
ions of other engineers. These gentlemen stand
deservedly high in their profession. They exam
iued the completed work, an i reported that, so far
as they could tee, it was good work, and recom
mended that it be received we believe, at a sight
reduction. Ol course they conld not tee the founda
tion, as the regular engiueer, Mi LeUardy has
done, aud on which superior knowledge that gen
tleman had rejected the work. After being in use
bat a short time, (only a few days) the Culvert tank ,
and it is said that the cost for repairs will likely be
as much or more than the original oost of the Work
above stated.
It is alleged that the Superintendent was interest
ed in this contract, and that it was r.iiet t. sub-con
tractors at four dollars per perch thus affording
the original contractors a profit of three dollars per
perch I
Now, we would ask, whether there i.s not ground
for suspicion that these private contracts are given
to favorites, and at exorbitant prices ? We will
not insist that the Superintendent was then or is
now interested in that or any other contract; that
is perfectly immatarial to the merits of the question
If such work was t corth the Bevun dollars, when well
executed, we have nothing to say; fcnt we deny
the right of any men to exact the price of good
work, and, bv ie-letting it at a price at which good
work oaunot be done, that they may make money,
thereby causing inferior work to be palmed off on
the Sta'e to It* loss and Injury. But if four dollars
per perch is what good woik can be done for, and
seven was paid, then a bonus of three dollars per
peroh was paid to some favorite or favorites to the
public injury.
In the second place, when Mr. Lsllardy refused
to receive the work, other engineers, who could not
see the foundation, on the defectiveness of which Mr.
1 * Hardy based his objections, aud who could only
judge by its outaids appearance, were called upon,
and upon their recommendation the work was ab
solutely forced on the State over the head and ths
protest of the regular engineer. Now, if Hr. Le
Hardy was incompeten', why was hs retained (
W liy was he not discharged ? Why continue an
officer In the employ ts the State at a high salary,
having the oversignt of such important matters. If
his judgment is not to be relied upon ? But if com
petent, why are others called in and their recom
mendation allowed to outweigh, override, and set
aside his judgment and protest ? So far, however,
as Mr. 1 jsHardy is concerned, the sequel show* that
he did his duty—that his judgment was correct—
that lie was not deceived as to the work, and that
the State was swindled! The culvert sank, and
communication was interrupted until it could be
temporarily repaired. This furnishes another ground
for suspicion that the contracts are given to favo
rites, under the present system, to ths public in
jury.
Bu* the money feature of the oass, great as that
is felt to be, is hardly worthy of notice when other
considerations are brought to view. The Engineer,
in passing upon the merits of woik on the Road,
does not only consider the safety of property, but
the safety of persons and livea. To his judgment
of the strength aid durability of all work along the
Road, the State and the citizens confided their lives
for the time being. Hia ii. therefore, an important,
and exceedingly responsible position. If not com
petent the destruction of millions of property and of
thousands of lives may b# the disastrous conse
quence, for it cannot be told at what moment such
work will fail. Under the weight of such reeponsibil!
ty, Mr LeHardy refused to receive it and he was
right. But ths work was done, sub-contractors
wanted their pay , and the favorite contractors want
ed their profit. The Engineer positively refused
the job and what was to be done? Citlscns o
Georgia, you see what was dared, to be done / Tbs
judgment of the officer paid by you to guard your
interests was set aside, and the opinion of others
taken in i's stead, in order that greedy spoilsmen—
party favorites probably—might reap a profit to tbe
Injury of the State So greedy and so unprincipled,
too, as to demand it where the property of the State
aud the lives of its citizens were at stake I So they
got their pay, it was no oonoern to them how scon
It erased id, how much property it destroyed,or how
inaDy peopled killed. Let our citizens pronounce
the judgment of condemnation on all such triflers,
and execute the judgement forthwith 1 Let them
call these officers to a strict accountability, eject
them from thei r places aud take the matter in their
own hands. There is foul play somewhere. Ths
only way to get rid of it, Is, to remove the con'rol
ot this great interest from arty in'luences. Let it
be done at once. Teaoh these harpies that the
deduction of a few thousands of dollars from a
large contract is nothing in comparison with ths
lives of its citizens. 8o they can make money, or
the party can be kept in power, they stand ready
always to sacrifice tho property of the Btats,and to
hazaid the lives of its citizens, a the case under
considererten justifies us to believe.
Bcchanan and Walkik—A Democrat's Opin
ion. —The Shreveport, Louisiana, Gazette, a Dem
ocratic journal of considerable ability, lu noticing a
discussion between the two candidates for Congress
iu that district, makrs the following comments upon
the position of Sandidob, the Democratic candi
date :
“ Cut. Sandidge disapproves Walker's course in
Kansas, but warmly supports Mr. Buchanan and
Ms cabinet. How a public man can attach blame
to a mere agent, and iiefend the employer who per
tni’s said agent to go uuchustised is a mystery too
deep for us to solve. If Walker has violated In
structions it, is Buchanan’s da y to make him a pnb
lio example, and thereby prove tbe honesty of tbe
administration.
“Nooonree of argumentation can prov# th# op
poeite of this position If Walker is right Buchanan
ia right in retaining him, but if Walker is wrong
(and who in tbe South qatetions it?) Buchauan ia
wrong in not removing him.
“ This is a practical view of the matter, which a
strong personal regard for Col. Sandidge cannot in
duce us to relinquish. In this country mind grap
ples with mind in bold and open oon est, ana we
expect to stand by our position though every voter
in Louisiana should support the infamy of YValker.”
Wheat Freights.—The following, says the
Charleston Courier, is o letter from a Nashville
Merchant to a Charleston correspondent:
“Nashville, (Tenn.) Bept. 10,185?'.
“Yonrs of the 7th to hand. In answer to your
inquire with i egard to the transportation of Wheat
and Flour from this point to New York we enclose
a bill of lading for 225 bbls Flour shipped by us
from Nashville In August. You will see from the
charges on the bill of lading that we paid 400. per
bbl. from Nashville to Cincinnati. Drayage at
Cincinnati 4 j cents per bbl., and $1 05 freigh from
Cincinnati to New York—making 1.-I9J all told.
By Charlestoi the charges are thus : 1.10 freight U)
Charleston; 7 J Drayage at Charleston; Wharfage;
0 postage and bill of lading : 25 cents freight to New
York average—making $1,704 all told.
All we ask the Rail Road Company is to put their
freight down to 25 cents per barrel on each road
from this to Charleston, and they will get five car
loads of Flour from this point where they now get
one, and unless they do something of the sort, taoy
will have to give up all prospects of getting business
from this point when tiers is any other way of
getting to New York. We can now ship to New
York via Now Orleans for fl 25 per bbl., through.
We have been at a loss for some time to see Charles
ton Merchants and property holders standing still
and seeing their legitimate business go away from
them without making the least effort to prevent it.
We of course want oheap oomiections wherever we
can get them, and will make use of our means to
get them, at the same time you are much more
interested In the rates of freight on these roads
than we are, aud we really think It a ma* ter for
your Merohant’s Exchange to take In hand.”
Postal Facilities —Tbe Postmaster General
has ordered that in Philadelphia there shall be
established branch offices throughout the city for
the better and epeedier transmission of city letters.
Thl, is tbe London system. Two cents are oharged
for a letter from odo person in the city to another—
one cent for the oarrier and one for the office. It Is
taken from the box into which It is dropped to the
next stat'en, from which it is transmitted to the
party to whom it is addressed. Letters for the mall
are sent at onoe to the main office. These branch
post offioet are parts of tbe main office.
Movement is Produce.—The Buffalo Commer
cial says: “In spite of tbo ecaroity of money aud
the slowness with whloh producs tomes forward,
we have received within tbe laet fortnight over
50,000 barrels of Sour, half a million hostels of
wheat, and nearly the came amount of corn. Lest
week we sent off by caDal alone over 400,000 bush
els of grain, aside from the grain in bags, four end
other rolling freight sent by railroad.”
The Cottos Crop.—The weather of late, says
the Euf&nla (Ala.) Spirit of tbe Scntfa, of the 15th In
stant, has been cool and dry, and Cotton has un
doubtedly*suffered for want of rain. Most planters
expect to make less than laet year. On some plan
tations the boll worm bas done serious demage,
while on nearly all there has been considerable
shedding. On most, the picking has )ust commenced
and in view of the feet that the crop is so far be
hind, it seems impossible that it should be anything
like an average ene. Its extent must depend very
much on a late or early frost.
Tux Ocean-Crossing Cable.—Prof. Morse,
writing bums on account of the failure to lay the
telegraphic cable across the Atlantic says, “the elec
tric connection wae perfect, and yet the farther we
paid out the feebler were the currents, indicating a
difficulty, which, however, I do not consider se
rious, while it is of a Dature to require attentive in
vestigation.” The difficulty was suggested oefore
tbe experiment was tried, and it was feared that it
wonid be great enengh to interfere with efficient
communication. Prof. Morse expresses himself
otherwise, though bis mind does not seem altogether
free from doubt upon the subject.
i jGodey's Lady's Boox.—We have just received
the October number of this estimable family Maga

Mr. D. bas been in poor health for the peat year or

The Liverpool Consulate —It is said that a

Travels an Pucotkkies i* North am>
tral Africa. Bt Hknkt Baht pi. In three
volumes. New Yerk: Harper Is Brothers.
The principal merit ot this voltuno ia the fidelity
with which it treats of the formation of this * nm
paratively unexplored region. Extending over a
tract of country of twenty-four degrees from North
to South, and twenty
in the broadest part of the continent of Africa, the
travels of the author necessarily oompritfe eubjects
of interest and diversity. After having tra
reread vaet deeertu of th# most barren soil, and
HOonee of the most frightful deeolation, he meets
with fertile lands, irrigated with large navigable
rivers, and extensive central lakes, ornament* and with
the fineßt timber, and producing various specks of
grata, rice, sessamum, ground nuts, in unlimited
abundance, the sngar-cane, &o. The whole ol
Central Africa abounds in these products. The na
fives of these regions not only spin and weave their
own cotton, but dye their home made shirts with
their own indigo. Tho author was a companion of
the late lamented Rlr. Richardson, extracts from
whose narrative have been so extensively copied
by the press. These volumes, though not eoful’ of
the minute incidents of travelliug life, so instructive
to the general reader, contain a fund of more useful
and lasting information. The value aud beauty of
the work is mnch enhanced by tho large number of
viewß and iilufilrations with which it is embell shed.
It will be found a handsome and valuable addition
to every well-established library.

Southern Medical and Surgical Journal
The September number, of the above work was on
our table in due time, and ought to have been no
ticed before—but it is one of those kl id or journ Is
that will always bear a notice, no matter whether
it is early or late—the fact is that it is a superior
work, and ought to be in the office of every Physi
cian in the Bouth. The preseut is a very interesting
number, and is a fair sample of the work. Tire
character of its editors for talant, industry and in
domitabie perseverance, will always insure ins
pectable No., no matter how great the dearth of
medloal newt. We domoet cheerfully commend this
work to the profeesion, it is edited by Professor H
F. Campbell and Rgsert Campbell, M. 1), and
printed in this city at $3 per annum in advance.
The Norte American Medico CutacßEtSAi
Review.— Toe September number of this ‘ruly
valuable Bi Monthly was promptly on onr table,
and alter a careful examination of the comber we
are prepared to say tlat it is a journal condneteo
with such ability, that it need not dread a compari
son with any similar work in this or any other coun
try—it numbers on its list of contributors soma of the
first men in the country, and its editors are men ot 1
ability and great research, and have thus far spared
no efforts in making this truly, a great work. It
will afford us great pleasure to know that it, ie ex
tensively circulated throughout the Union, tie, it de
serves to be. It ie edited by Professors OR'ss and
Richardso* and published in Philadelphia by J. B
Lippenoott St Cos., at the low rate of $4 per an

Sorgho Syrup.—We were shown yesterday at
the Drug Store of Messrs. Plumb Leitner, a
handsome specimen of syrup, made from the C
h eane, by Mrs. Gunn, near Crawfordville. It
was very thick, of a bright color, and about one
third of it granulated into a handsome sugar. An
acre of ground, planted in cane, tak ir.g this sample
as as average, wou’d yield about two hundred and
fifty gallon* t the same ground, planted in corn,
would not have brought ten bushel* to the acre.
Dr. J S. Whitts®, of Hanoock, ha* sent ns a
sample of the syrup, of fine appearaooe and excellent
flavor.
Mr. J. A. Duream, of Raytown, Taiiafero o ar
ty, has also sent as a sample cl the &tue article,
which will compare favorably with any wo have
seen.
Gold i® Wissonsi®. —The Chicago Tribune ay
that a gentleman from Wapaeea ocuoty, Wisconsin, ,
has brought from there, for tasting in Chicago, a

not true—there is a richer gold mine in tbe prairie
