I have just returned from New York, and have been receiving for the last three
weeks, the largest and most extensive stock of Dry Gooffs l have over purchased, for the Fall and
Winter trade. I feel encotiragcdyand thankful to the citizens of Columbus and surrounding country,
for their liberal patronage the past year, and I beg to assure them that I atn now prepared to give
them even greater satisfaction than before. I have made arrangements with a large importing house
in Now York to forward me Gooffs every week, so that l shall be enabled always to give my custom
ers goods which are fresh and new.
My present stock is too extensive to particularize, l will merely mention a few leading articles, viz :
Fancy Silks, Embroidered Alpacas, Pongee Silk—for dnvw.-s.Ginuhams, 3,000 pieces Prints,
of every shale an I figure, 4,01)0 pieces Bleached and llrown Goods, Shawls, Visitees, Mantillas,
Bonnets, Hats, Caps, and a largo lot of Shoes, of diffurent qualities, &c.,&c. If you will give tuu a call,
you can he suited both in quality and price.
I have also purchased the finest and most extensive stock of
cloths, cassimcrcs and vestings,
for Gentlemens wear, that has ever been brought to this market. Tltey were selected with great
care. Mr. F. A. FAIRCHILD will superintend the Tailoring Department!" my counting room

GENTLEMEN’S READY MADE CLOTHING,

Sale of Lots in the Town of
OGLETHORPE.
T il F. undersigned, being the owner nf about 600 acres
of Laud, West Flint River, on which the South
Western Ruilroul will for the present, and |terlmp.t for
many years to come, terminate, will soon have it . nr-
veyed and divided into LOTS of suitable size for busi
ness ami private residences, anti will offer them for sale
at public outcry, on the premises,
On the KUh day of January next.
The site «d the contemplated tow u is in Macon county,
about two miles above Traveller’s Rest, upon dry and
elevated pine laud, with good pure water, free from
lime. On the west side of the River there is but a nar
row strip of second low ground, entirely free from
marshes and lagoons.
The plan of ilia town will soon he lithographed and
copies distributed in the principal towns and cities of
the Smte, for inspection hv those who may wish to pur
chase lots. An act of incorporation, under the name of
the Town of Ogletliorfie, will be applied for at the ap
proaching session of the legislature. It is now certain
that the Railroad will Is- completed to that point in time
for the crop of 1850. The grading is progressing rapidly,
ami the iron for the Rond as far as Oglethor|>e is con
tracted for, to lie delivered in Savannah next January.
The attention of capitalists, and of all who may wish
to share in the business which will spring up in a place
whereat least70,000 liales of Cotton will be sold mutu
ally, is respectfully invited to the sale of the Lots as
above specified. An inspection of the map will show
that it is the point where the business of the great cotton
growing section of Georgia will concentrate. It will lie
a trade worth contending for. Not only will the coun
ties west of Flint River now furnish annually 70,000
hales of cotton to he shipped from Oglethorpe, but the
opening of a Railroad to that |M»iut will bring that im
portant and growing section of Georgia into close prox
imity to a market for their produce, and will be the
means of bringing into cultivation thousands of acres of
Inud now lying idle,nnd thus the quantity of cotton pro
duced there will ho greatly increased.
The terms of the sale will lie liberal, and will be
made known in due time. The titles will 1h* indisputa
ble. I have a complete, unbroken chain of titles, from
the State down to myself.

Work for November.
Cotton Pklsses.—Have you ever thought that
the presses now in general use are not tvhat they
should be ? There are belter ones. Look to it.
Wp can cite you to one planter, (Col. Hampton,
of S. whose bales never need re-nressing.
It would cost you no more to do them riqrlit, in tho
first place, than it does to make the miserable pack-
1 you now do. Then how much you would
save!
Cotton Baskets.—What are you p°innr to do
when all your basket timber is exhausted, as it
soon will be? in fact is, in some places? Will
you send north for them ? Well, we can supply
you; but you had better plant and prow timber—
the osier willow, for instance. Look to it this
month.
Cotton Seep.—Do not neglect this all-impor
tant matter. Look what the “Prouty or Hogan
seed” has conic to from careful selection. There
is no need for you to pay “ a dime a seed,” to get
a good article, if you will only stdect it yourself,
a few years.
Feeding Stock on Pea Fields.—This is the
month more than all others that cattle.and hogs
die from eating peas. Be careful and feed your
hogs well with corn or salt slops, before turning
them in. Salt and feed your cattle well. Do not
turn hungry cattle upon fresh pea vines. If you
have not hogs enough this year to make your meat,
look out now fora supply, before they are put up
to fatten. You can raise pork better than you can
buy it with cotton.
Fruit Trees.—Do not forget that this is the
best month in the year to order fruit trees from tho
north. Don’t try for a great assortment, but just
a few of the choicest kinds. Col. Carter and Dr.
Cloud, of Macon county, Alabama, have growing
upon their farms, a native winter apple, that is
perhaps superior to any other. It is worthy of
notice at the south. It is probable that Dr. Phil
ips, of Hinds county, Mississippi, also has it; at
any rate, he has got the best assortment of fruit
trees in the south that we know anything about.
Provide for Winter.—Although you live in
tho “ sunny south,” wo have seen some very chil
ly blasts among your cotton bales and sugar hogs
heads. Therefore, provide for winter. Some of
you live in houses no hotter than they should be,
and some nf your people would live entirely out
doors if their masters did not make them build
themselves houses. So, as you have done pick
ing cotton, or ought to he this month, in all the
northern parts of cottondoni, go to work and fix
up for winter. Make old Jo daub up the cracks
in his house, and lie won’t complain so much of
the rheumatism next winter. Send Long Jim to
top out Old Aunt Katy’s chimney, and you won’t
bear tho children in the nursery squall so much.
The plantation hands arc proverbially careless.—
You know the/ won’t fix tip themselves, so you
must make them, and we must make you. Go
und see Col. Hampton, and some others we could
name, and get a pattern for negro houses. This
is the month north and south, to provide for win
ter.—A merieaa Agriculturist.
Molasses in Fattening Hogs.
One of the best articles l have ever experiment
ed with in fattening swine, is molasses. When
it can bo obtained for twenty coins per gallon, it
is cheaper than corn at the lowest price at which
that grain is ever likely lobe offered in any mar
ket out of the “ slave growing” States. By mix
ing saccharine matter with corn or barley mush, l
can fatten my hogs in one-half the time which is
consumed by my neighbors who turn up their noses
with ineffable mid undisguised contempt at my
“ ultra book farming fancies,”—wise Solans of
the sod, in lleshino not fattening, theirs. Has
it never occurred to you that the omnivorous quad
ruped, nomcnclated the hog—(sus scropn,) by
learned imturalists, hath an appetite very peculiar?
He likes greatly either food that abounds, in sac
charine m.i*: ~r, or in acids. He will fatten on
meal, sw*' ‘...*ncd ; or meal acidified, and I am at a
ie-fs to decide on which the more rapidly. I ti;id
that the apples (toiled and permitted to stand
avvliile, are eaten voraciously by this worthy ani
mal, abhorred of tiio Jews, and that ho is fatten
ed on‘.hem no irly or quite as rapidly as on meal
or corn. 1 some years since slaughtered a hog
weighing five huud'cd pounds after being dressed,
which, for seven weeks before he was killed, ate
nothing hut apples. They were the refuse of my
crop, and being deposited, in the harvest season in
an open chamber, had become thoroughly frozen.
This process of freezing, although it is in some
measure qualified, did not, by any means effectu
ally neutralise the acidity, as the cooked apples,
when presented to the hog were quite sour. They
were eaten with avidity, and tho animal retained
his health and bodily vigor surprisingly, till brought
to tho tub. Thinking, first before killing him that
a corn keep would tend to solidify the pork, 1 pro
cured meal and had an allowance of dough pre
sented ; hut mtrihle lic'u, he refused it with con
tempt. This he did for two days, when, fearing
that lie could not he induced to partqke of it—of
which indeed then* was no prospect, the old food
was restored, and on this lie was kept during his
life. Finer or sweeter pork I never ate. I have
also fattened swine on saccharine food with equal
facility.—Germantown Tele."raph.

Interesting Trial of Ropo.
Every trial of the kyaniznd rope manufactured
by J. T. Crook & Co., of Maysville, proves its
superior excellence. The following is from tho
Cincinnati Gazelle:
A test trial of Manilla and kyanized American
rope was had on Saturday last, at Griffey's fottn-

after sustaining a weight of 1,520 pounds. The
kvanized rope, invented and manufactured by J.
T. Crook & Co., of Maysville, was then put to
tho same test, and sustained a weight of 2,320
pounds before parting. A second trial was then
had of tho same size of Manilla rope, which sus
tained a weight of 2,200 pounds. A second trial
was then also had of the kyanized rope, and sus
tained a pressure of 2.110 pounds. Two trials
were then had with a larger size of tho Manilla
rope, manufactured by Bonte, which parted first at
2,810 pounds, und outlie second trial at 2,796
pounds. One trial was then made with the kya

VICTOR DACIIEUX:
Or, "The Kan of the Shore.”
Not many years ago there lived In a little wood'
en house on the banks of tho Seine, at Paris, a
poor man named Victor Duclicux. This individ
ual had placed himself in this hampered and un
pleasant abode, with the solo view of rescuing
persons from drowning. In England, no poor man
would think of devoting himself lo such an occu
pation; but in Franco there aro instances of this
snecie of practical benevolence extremely agreea
ble to rellect upon, ilo voluntarily took up his
residence in his booth, and his only chance of
gaining subsistence consisted in the petty rewards
which might bo given by persons rescued by his
intrepidity.
This worthy man laid been thus engaged for a
number of years; misfortunes of diflerent kinds
had overtaken him, not the least troublesome ol
which was an infirmity from rheumatism; but he
was still cheerful, and kept a constant lookout
ihc river. One (fay while sitting at the door of
his hid, he perceived the body of a man drifting
slowly down the Seine. In two minutes he had
dolled his clothes, nml was in the middle of the
stream, grasping the object ho hoped to save ; but
alas! the decomposition of tho body proved it to
have been long a prey to the waters—a late rise
of the river having disengaged it from some obsta
cle which prevented its earlier appearance on the
surface. All that Oachettx could do was to note
down any discernible particulars respecting the
evidently aged sufferer; hut on removing his de
caying garments, no clue to name or residence
could be found, nothing but an old leathern pock
et book, containing twenty-four bank bills for one
thousand francs each. These Duchrux dried
with the utmost care, and placed them in the pock-
honk, in the secret drawer of Ins little desk, un
known even to his wife and children, so much did
he fear lest their extreme destitution should
tempt them to infringe on the sacredness of the
deposit, lie had, besides,little doubt that the
advertisements lie intended to insert in the pub
lic papers would quickly bring forward the own
ers or heir of so considerable a sum, which be
promised himself no small pleasure in handing
over lo them.
He lost no time in conveying the dead body to
the Morque—a place for the reception of dead
bod es found in the river—and hero it remained
exposed during the time prescribed by law; but
no one came forward to claim it. lie continued
to intimate in the papers, for some months togeth
er, tlmt such a person, wlmin he described had
boon found by him, (apparently carried off by ap
oplexy, and fallen by uccidcut into the river;) be
tween the Pontdca Arts and the Pont Royal ;und
that bis valuable effects remained with the finder,
only awaiting any owner who could prove his ti
de to their possession. Nay, ho went so fnr as
todcclare though no scrap or writing affording a
clue had been discovered on the deceased, there
were sufiicicut effects in his possession, and par
ticularly in his memory, lo lead to identification.
There was enough here to move both cupidity
and curiosity, and bring forward swarms of pseu
do relatives, who found their match, however, in
the wary as well as faithful trustee. Many bona
tide mourners for missing individuals came also,
with better founded hopes and proofs of indentity;
hut none would tally with the no less eager hopes
and wishes of the good Dacheux. lie was there
fore compelled, notwithstanding his disinterested
exertions, to retain in his possession the twenty-
four hank hills, about which he felt it his duty still
to keep inviolable secrecy. 1a>sI sudden death
amid llie perils of his vocation should carry him
off from his family, lie placed beside the old pock
et-book a paper in his hand writing, solemnly en
joining his wife and children, should no owner
havo previously appeared, lo hand over tho con
tents to competent authority.
Three years had passed away, and no relation
or even acquaintance had come forward to lament
tho deceased. Times, meanwhile, had gone hard
er than ever with good Dacheux. A bitter win
ter covered the Seine with blocks of ice, which
partially destroyed Ills humble cabin, shattered
nearly all bis furniture, and left bis family all but
destitute, llis faithful wife and associate in acts
of humanity, was seized with serious illness, re
quiring constant nursing and expensive medicines;
while he himself was attacked with aettto rheu
matism, which crippled him for a titno in every
limb. In tho midst of all this distress, the labor of
bis children could add little to the small income of
tho suffering household; but if even the sick
man’s glance rested for a moment with wistful
expression on the desk which contained the twen
ty-four bank bills, its upward direction would im
mediately seem to say, “ please God, wHatever
may be tho extent of our trials, I will keep sacred
to the last the chargelloentrusted tome.
His eyes rosp'd upon it with a proud and de
lighted consciousness of integrity rewarded, whon
shortly after, (in a ceremony at which the writer
was present,) a deputation from the masona of
Paris, in presence of more titan twelve hundred
spectators of all ranks and ages, waited npon him
with a voluntary subscription, sufficient to replace
on its original footing Ins benevolent establish
ment, and conferred upon him, amid sliouts of ap-
plaltse and admiration, tlie unfading title of L'iloiu-
me du Rigage ! Man uf the Shore!
But it was not only an asylum for the resusci
tated from drowning that the good Samaritan’s
house was gratuitously restored; it had long been
the resort of every wounded workman on the
banks of tho Seine. If, hy the collision of two
tmwicldly wood rafts, a poor fellow got a bruise on
the arm, or a jam on the leg, he would hobble, as
best he might, to good M. Dacheux, and have his
hurts dressed as skillful and more kindly than in
any hospital. If a poor female faggotsellor stum
bled tinder her burden, while climbing the steep
steps of Quar d’Ecole, and got, as may be suppo
sed, an ugly fall, her legs would still drag her to
Madame Dacheux, where the softest bandage and
most healing ointments were set off by motherly
sympathy and with Christian charity.
Among the many wounded persona thus claim
ing tho good offices of the Man of the Shore, there
came, one fine Spring evening, a young man
whose right hand had been severely jammed by a
barrel of salt pelrc, which had slipped from him a
few minutes beforo, while rolling it on tho quay.
The thumb seemed well-nigh destroyed, and two
fingers terribly lacerated, and the agony of the
sufferer was so intense, that in spite of his bodily
strength, tears were trickling down his face.—
The skillful Duclicux, after washing, according
to his custom, the formidable looking wound with
wine, declared there was no fracture. But the
hurt was of a nature to require the greatest care
and attention; and having bandaged it up with
the proper application, and prepared a sling, he
strongly advised the youth to return twice a day
to have his hand dressed, as lohg as it remained
unhealed.
This was not an invitation to be despised, and
the lad failed not to avail himself of it, night and
morning, for several following days. The wound,
serious as it was soon did credit to the skill of the
well-known cottage phyaician; and the jolly young
workman, one of the happiest specimens of hu
manity among his companions, soon recovered his
naturally high spirits. No sooner was his core
completed, than lie came one Sunday, in his holi
day attire, to salute his physician, and asked, with
well meaning abruptness—
“ Wliat do I owe you, Monsieur Dacheux ?”
“ And what do you mean by that, my good fel
low 1"
“ Mean 1 Why to pay you your dues. Five
and twenty dressings, and all that linen and oint
ment, must come to—”
“ Neither more nor less than a shake of t he
hand, my doar fellow. Show me that you can
bear a squeeze with the one I cured, and we are
quits; I never take money from any one.”
“ Ob, that will never do; and, though I am but
a poor porter on the quay, and have both my
mother ami grandmother on my hands, I have
wherewithal to pay, 1 assure yon.”
“ And I assure you, once more, that you owe
me nothing. But tell me what countryman you
are ?” *’
“ I came from Villeneuve le Roi, near Sena.—
My father was killed at Austerlitz; they say ho
was a gallant fellow. I never know hitn. My
mother, left a widow at nineteen, with one child
but me, went to live with Iter father who was a
dealer in wines, and had, I may say as pretty a
bit of land on the hanks of the Yenne, as snugs
house at Villeneuve, as you could see. Well we
had to sell it all.”
” And for wliat reason ?”
“ D’ye see, Monsieur Dacheux, my poor grand
father, one of the most honest men in the world,
Imd but ono fault—he liked his glass. I’m afraid
I take after him. He was employed as a sales
man by some of the first houses in Sens, and came
on their account, to recover money for them in
1‘aris. One day, when he had received a pretty
large sum, he disappeared, without our ever hav
ing been able to get the smallest tidings of his
fate. He was subject to fits of blood to the head
poor old man ; and no doubt this had happened to
him somehow, and rogues must have taken advan
tage of it to rob und bury him secretly. But it
was the worse for us. The Paris merchants could
proved that they had paid him the money, and as
we had nothing to show for it to the wine growers
of Sens, of course we had to sell all to satisfy
them, which left ns without a sou. My grand
mother fretted herself into a palsy, and my moth
er, having no means of living at Villeneuve, had
lo come to Paris, where she toils hard, making
shirts for my fellow workmen; and I get, when all
goes well, three francs a day, so that with the help
of God, we manage to live.
“ Pray, what might be your grandfather’s age?”
“ Hard upon seventy.”
“ Ami his height ?”
“ Much the same as mine; about five feet ten
inches.”
“ And llis age?”
“Why, the same I bear after him; Maurice
Goddard.”
“ And may I ask you the amount of the sum
which lie had drawn, and you were forced to make
good ?”
“ Just twenty-four thousand francs ; enough to
ruin us out and out. But why do you ask me all
these questions ?”
“ Why, to be useful to you, if I should have an
opportunity.”
How you do look at me, Monsieur Dacheux!”
Not for nothing, believe me ; you have inspired
inc with a lively interest. I have taken a great
fancy to know your mother and grandmother liko-
ise.”
“ We are highly honored, I’m sure; but if so,
yon will have to lake the trouble to call on us, for
the poor dear woman is past moving.”
“ You may expect mo to-morrow. What ad
dress ?”
“Reu Boucher, No. 15, five pair of stairs. O,
how delighted they’ll be when I tell them of yonr
visit! They know that to you I owe my cured
hand. Good-bye, Monsieur Dacheux.”
“Till to-morrow, friend Goddard."
Early the itext day, “ Tho man of the Shore”
was at tho house specified, eager to confirm by
authentic proofs, ihc surmises floating in his mind.
He found the humble abode distinguished by the
peculiar neatness of those who had seen better
days. The venerable grandmother seated in her
wheeling chair, seemed, in spite of bodily infirmi
ty, in possession of all her faculties. Her daugh
ter-in-law, Maurice’s mother, was busy at her nee
dle, while her son read to both, from an old paper,
the report of the honors confercd on Dacheux by
his grateful countrymen. His presence (rave rise
to transports of jov In the worthy family. Madame
Goddard blessed him for the care of Iter son; and
the old palsied woman thanked him for the last
bright gleam on her declining years.
fi was not difficult to turn tho conversation lo
tho Inst head of the united family—his painful
disappearance, and the sad consequences, which
ensued from it. But the holder of the twenty-four
thousand francs had enough to do lo conceal bis
secret emotion, while putting to those so deeply
interested tho questions dictated by prudence.
“Had your husband,” he inquired of the old
woman, “ no mark or token by which he could
have been recognized ?”
“ Oli dear, yes 1" was the ready answer. “The
poor fellow was in the first wars of the Revolution,
and had two fingers shot off at tbo battle of Flew
rns.”
“ From which hand ?”
“ Tite loft. And then at the battle of Jetnme-
pes, he got a sabre wound from the right ear to
the chin, which left such a lovely scar I”
“And may I ask if there was anything remark
able in his dress ? What did lie usually wear ?’
“Oh,at the time he was loot, an old grey coat
(for it was cold, dirty weather) and under it an
old hussar jacket whieh be could only wear out
so.”
“ Oh,” added Maurice’s motlier, “ yoo forgot he
always wore a silver watch with a steel chain.
“ Yes,” said the old (fame, sighing, “with a
gold heart banging from it, which I tad given
him tho day we were engaged, and which never
left him.” , ■ ,
“ But,” abruptly interrupted Dachetu. now ai
med sure he wss right, s man in the habit of !•-

“ And who may be the fatter of your bride

“ Monsieur Aubert, a rich fellow In the cider

“Aye! I should have (dowiing to Niy with

swimming at high water in the SabM.- PH see

“Oh! I’ll be there witbont fail. But, dear
sir, do you thinif there ate any hopes t"
“ I would be rash to prundae, but we trill see.”
“Ah, sir,” said the youth’s mother, modestly,
you will be doing us all a great service, for the
poor boy neither eats nor sleeps ashe used to do.”
“ Well, good people, til shall be done that lies
in the power of man; but you have reaaott to look
higher for the possible comfort and consolation of
your latter days. I dare say we stall meet to
morrow.”
So saying, he left the interesting faulty, cost
ing behind him a last look so expressive of satis
faction, that we need not wander ifdt^d laid the
foundation for a thousand fond conjectures. . None
of them, however, come up in the faintest degree
to the series of agreeable surprises awtiting them
the next day at the hands of one of the moat up
right and most friendly of human beings.
On Maurice’s arrival at the cottage of Dacheux.
he found there before him the father of his mis
tress, the same who bad laughed to acorn his for
mer pretensions; but who, nteetihghim now with
the most cordial frankness said, “Excuse me, for
having received somewhat eoidly your request for
my daughter’s hand; but why did you conceal
from me the fact that you WMit* Mra four and
twenty thousand frauds, and that yon were only
waiting an opportunity to ptneteaea warehouse
and set up foryounelf I”
“ What is all this you are wring ?” stammered
the bewildered Maurice. “I do not ooraprehend
a word ofitl”
“ It shall be explained to yon,” replied good
Dacheux, flying to his desk, and bringing forth his
deposit so long and discreetly preset usd, “ here fa
your own. If this pocket book bad contained a
single name, the least word of direction lo any one,
you would have been pnt in possession of it foe
next day, and your poor grandmothers property
would have been saved from the hammer. But,
though foiled in my reseuehee for a long time, it
has pleased Heaven to grant me at length the joy
ofrestoring it to its lawful preprieton. Uoanonly

when, surprised by treacherous liquor, he foil into

“Ah, Monsieur Dacbenx, there is little four of

was also npon him, and foe little sled chain from
which still hangs your grandmother’s golden
heart, and by that of the two fingem of the left

marks meet in any bnt the right petion t Nay,
my own heart tells me this restitmon is the dic
tate of Heaven. I am too hUfgy in majdng it to
be under any delusion.”
So saying, he embraced the delighted young
man, whose honest gratitude found vent in his un
sophisticated nature, Ihd whom goodness of heart
soon prompted him to make Me relatives at home
a sharer of his joy. Panting, breathless, scarce
able to speak for delight, he ennotmeed to the two
dear maternal friend* of his youth, foe happy
change in their circnmelaneee, and thrusting into
the shaking hand of his grandmother, the well-
known pocket book, saying, as he did eo, in his
turn, “ here is yonr own I”
“ Nay, yours, my children t” exclaimed the pal
sied one, exerting, to til raftr it, mem strength
than site had done for a long fogs*. “ Rethinks
I feel reviving already, and aa though God might

The marriage of Mairiee with Csfastine Au
bert took place soon after, and, joining his father-
in-law, whose experience in trade wss very ex
tensive, they were coon at the head of a flourish
ing branch of business. The old grandmother
