COLXJMBXJS: Wednuaday Morning, July :i, IH3G. liARUBST CITY CIRCULATION. An error occut red in the advertisement ol’ B. A. Richards in yesterday morning’s issue. The price for liacon Sides was printed 11 .'.c. It should hare read 10Ac. We aro under obligations to several of out city readers for recent favors in the way of items of local news, which they have furnish ed us at some inconvenience to themselves. Such kindnesses are always thankfully receiv ed, and will be improved to the best of our ability. Scarcely a day passes hut something occurs in our city, of interest to our peoplo generally, and to absentees; and we are al ways glad to be put upon track of it when we do not chance to happen on it ourselves. Mail Failure. Words are wanting to express our disap pointment at getting no papers yesterday, by the Eastern mail. We have done the best we could from our old papers, but regret to say that we have but one, solitary, forlorn, lone some. little “ telegraphic item,” which see— alono in its glory—at the head of fifth column. Meeting To-Night. The attention of our city mechanics is direc ted to the advertisement in another column, calling for a meeting at Temperance Hall to night, at which all mechanics aro requested to he presont. Soil of the South. The July number of this valuable monthly is promptly on our table, containing a largo amount of reading of great interest to the ag ricultural community. Every farmer should have a copy in his house, and will find, before many months, tnat he cannot well do without It. There is a big mud-hole on Front street, op posite the residence of John Fontaine, Esq., containing a considerable amount of water: the water would be glad to be let oft, but can not at present get away. We wore about to ask our City Marshal to stick a pin here ; but upon reflection, ’twould be better to have his hands stick a spade somewhere about the mud hole: or fill it up, which would be better. The dirt thrown out of the drains would an swer very well for this, if properly rammed after being deposited. Our brother Martin of the Enquirer, makes a somewhat singular use of the query, we pro pounded him a day or two sinee. We had asked if it would not he a good thing could all the people of the South join “umbrellas” •against the rains that threaten us from so many quarters ? Brother M., haunted by the phantom of Bachelor Buck, and with his thoughts centred on the Cincinnati Platform, rather intimates that we called upon him to support the one, and mount the other : where upon ho groweth indignant, waxeth wroth, and straightway rippeth up divers and sundry plank* in said piece of political carpentry. Now, we were looking further ahead than the Ides of November, in asking our question; neither could we attempt the conversion ol Brother M., without departuro from our prin ciple of party neutrality. Considei iug the at tention we paid to Brother M’s doves, we think he has not reciprocated so kindly as he might have done. But we forgive him. Unprotected. A friend was relnting to us a day or two since, his adventures on the Commons, on Sunday afternoon, during the sevore thunder sto-m of that day. It came out in the course of the conversation, that the City Powder Magaziue has never been furnished with a lightning-rod! We were truly surprised to hear it. VI hilo it is quite true that the Maga zine may remain unharmed for five hundred years, there is no guaranty whatever that it will be so for five days. The exceedingly ‘<mall expense for which such guaranty may be obtained, should prompt the authorities to have the matter promptly attended to. “An once of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We had much ’ather record the putting up a rod, than the blowing up of the Magazine. The Peace Treaty between Russia and the Allies, was published, as our readers doubt less remember, in advance of its official pro mulgation, by the Loudon Uaily News, and several papers on the Continent. The French Government lias spared no pains to ferret out the source from whence it was obtained. At length it has been discovered to have been fur nished the press by a printer in one of the Pa ris offices, who surreptitiously obtained a proof sheet. He has been fined, and sentenc ed to two years imprisonment. The sentracc is tolerably severe, but much more justly de served thau another one. where the offence was “speaking disrespectfully of the Empe ror, in a public e > i iage. ’ M. Bergougnoux, an Ex-Editor. lias been found guilty of such ■•peaking, and was sentenced to two years im prisonment. On the protest of the public prosecutor against the lightness of the penalty, three more years were added, and six months’ deprivation of civil rights. Such is justice in France. Speaking one’s mind is a graver ol’- lonce than purloining a government document. On Friday, the House sustained the motion tor the “previous question” on the bill to ad mit Kansas, with her Topeka constitution. The main question was to have been the first business on Monday. The friends of the bill tire not sanguine of its success, though they hope to pass it by a very close vote. In the Rhode Island Legislature, after a very acrimonious debate, the election of n U. S. Senator has been postponed till January next, by the easting vote of the Chairman. Gov.

The Emperor has boon “sloshinH’ about the country on horse back, with a bag of gold at his saddle bow, | sometimes up to liis knees hi water, scattering the specie right and loft. Occasionally he dips into, what is willed in France, “ Hi* Majesty's private purse.” The people luiil him every where as a “ second Providence(bow ex ceedingly Frenchy is that epithet!) and his Majesty is covered with praises and blessings. Private purse! i. e. so much of the public purso ns his majesty chooses to appropriate to bis own pocket. We cannot mingle our voice in the okaunt of praises. Napoleon is only returning tho peoplo their own; and as for Ids doing so in person, that is simply for effect. It takes, however, finely. When was ever a Frenchman known to dislik crffccl ? Half a dol lar bestowed on a French pauper in “ grand stylo,” is more dear to him than five would be, minus the effect. There’s a great deni of Bar nuui about Louis Napoleon. Like Burnum he rose from obscurity ; like Bariimn ho worked his way into tho British Queen’s drawing room, (though ho beat Barnum in getting u kiss from her) and like Barnum be will ere long be wound up—not among clock wheels, but those moro dangerous “wheels within wliocls,” com monly called conspiracies. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes that the nomination of Fremont does not meet the entire approbation of the Republicans. All of the old liners of that party—such, for instance, as Mr. Pening ton, of New Jersey, Judge Pringle and Russel Sage, of New York, Washburn, of Illinois, and pretty near all of the Pennsylvania delegation, prefer John McLean, of Ohio. But they will give a quasi support to Fremont, intimating at tho same time, however, that he cannot be elected. Tho rumored marriage of Tragedy Forrest to a daughter of Editor McMakin of the Sat urday Fourier, has no foundation in fact, nor is it known upon what pretext the story was based. Miss McMakin is grieved about it, and hopes that the press generally will correct tho slanderous error. We cheerfully do our part, and not the less, because Miss McM., is herself a member of the Editorial Corps—not the fraternity —but, we suppose, tho sorority. She conducts the Ladies’ Department of the Courier, and does it handsomely. L. R. Colmead of Washington City, is as signee of a patent granted a few days since, for an invention called a “jewelry shield,” which protects valuable pins and other orna ments from being either lost or stolen, while upon the person of the woai’er. In 1777 it was a law of Maryland, that no person should act as a juror who was not pos sessed of fifty acres of land, or two hundred pounds current money. It is said to be still of force, having never been repealed, in the District of Columbia, though for many years it has boon ignored. Chinese Coolies. The ship Hope recently arrived at Havana with 452 Coolies, which added to the other re ceipts since April 10th, 1855, makes a total of 6,720. It is stated, that since the importa tions began, four and a half years ago, 10,000 Coolies have been landed in Havana; but the Cholera has swept them away at such a rate, not more than 2,000 are now to be found in all Cuba. - We regret to notice in tho Augusta papers, announcements of the death of Mr. Augustus Simonet, an old citizen; and of Mr. James McAfferty, Publisher of the “Southern Medi cal and Surgical Journal”; with Mr. McAffer ty we had an acquaintance of several years standing. He was a temperate, honest, unob trusive, industrious, and virtuous mat). Os great sins he was guiltless—and few men can show a record moro clear of petty ones, than the history of his life affords. A Camp of “Junior Sons of America,” [is that the refined for “Young America? ”] lately presented Mr. Fillmore with a gold headed cane. The presentation took place at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and at its close, Mr. Fillmore was introduced to a whole roomfull of ladies to whom lie did the “agreeable,” in a brief address. We should like to sec this test applied to Old Buck, before election-day. It is due to the ladies of America, that that gentleman should declare liis sentiments in re gard to the sox—whether he's afraid of them, or indifferent, or u woman-hater. If the old gentleman has been crossed in love, and is still true to his first inamorata; or if he has faith fully endeavored to get a rib uud could’ut,— either of those excuses for singleness, we think would appease the sox. But unless something be done in the matter, wo very much doubt whether tho ladies will vote for him. Some people think that the ladies have no vote. A greater mistake was never made— they have votes as well as voice. Tho Old Liners of New York, turned out with full ranks n lew days s uce, to call upon Mr. Fillmore. Mr. Brooks, of the Express) did their talking for them, aud Mr. Fillmore responded very handsomely. The scene was highly interesting, and indeed touching.— There is nothiug iu this world so beautiful as fidelity, if wo except charity; and even where men are faithful to mistaken opinions, or to unworthy leaders, it is beautiful still. This we say, witheut any reference whatever to Mr. Fillmore and bis Old Guard. Palmer, the English Poisoner, has been hung: he died without making any confession. Letter from Gov. Winston. In the last General Assembly of Georgia, quite a dust was raised about some anti-slave ry resolutions of tho Massachusetts Legisla ture, which bad been sent to Gov. Johnson, and which were made by him, flic subject of a special message. Gov.was finally author ized to return them, with, we forget wlmtcom ment, now, if any. It seems that Gov. Min ston has also been favored with some similar Massachusetts bombast, aud iu connection therewith, we find the following pithy letter, iu the Montgomery Advertiser : Executive DbI'AKTMENT, I Montgomery, Ala., June 19, 1860, j Sir: Believing the resolves you have for warded to this Department, in relation to the Territory of Kansas, to be in conflict with the truth of history, unconstitutional, and treason able in design, 1 return them to you, with a request that the future resolutions of the Leg islature of Massachusetts on Federal affairs and the subject of slavery, be no more for warded to this Department. The obligations of the Constitution, and the laws of the United State* passed in conformity thereto, being disregarded and nullified by Massachusetts, we desire no further inter course with your Htate: and wish to bo free, in future, from insult from a State whose citi zens do not recognize accountability for insult and libellous imputations upon the chnracterof Southern States and the citizens thereof. Your obedient sorvant, JOHN A. WINSTON. His Excellency Henry J. Gardner, Governor of Massachusetts. Interesting Correspondence. The following letters, which explain them selves, are taken from the Savannah Republi can of Monday. It will be perceived that the report of Yellow Fever in Savannah, is wholly untrue: Savannah, June 28, 1856. Dear Sir : We have received from Augusta a letter stating that it is reported there, that there have been several cases of yellow fever in Savannah, and that so far as can be ascer tained the report “comesfrom Mrs. Dr. Kol lock,” The letter adds, “if the report is in correct it should be at once contradicted, as several passengers for your steamer have been turned to Charleston and the land route, —be- sides, other important interests will suffer, if the impression becomes general.” We think it due to you to give you the infor mation above, as you are interested as a citi zen with us, in anything calculated to pro duce injury or benefit. If such reports are well founded, we may as well wind up our bu siness for the summer, as nobody will come here, and the city and its interests will receive irreparable injury. Yonrs very respectfully, &c., I’ADELFORD, FAY & CO. Dr. I’. M. Kollock, Savannah. Messrs. Padelford, Fay & Cos.: Dear Sirs : It was with much surprise and some indignation that I received your note this morning, informing me that my wife has been charged with reporting that several cases of yellow fever have occurred in Savannah. I pronounce the charge an unmitigated false hood. I assert with perfect confidence that no case of yellow fever has occurred in Savannah this season—nor do I think that there is any ten dency to that form of disease. 1 have practiced medicine iu Savannah for thirty years—during that time, 1 have had to deal with several epidemics of yellow fever. I have never seen the disease occur when we have had as much thunder, and rain, us we are blessed with at the present time, notwith standing a high range of the thermometer. Respectfully, vour ob’t. serv’t. P. M. KOLLOCK. Savannah, June 28, 1856. Fifty Thousand Dollars Gone. A most egregious blunder occurred last week in the U. S. Treasury Department, by which about 850,000 lias been wrongfully paid out, not soon to return. The error occurred in paying off’ the Texas debt, and was detected by a banker of another city, who immediately telegraphed the Department, thereby electri fying it in more senses than one, and causing a great stir among all hands from the Chief to the pettiest clerk. The Organ thus explains the manner in which the mistake occurred. Congress appropriated 87,500,000 for the payment of the Texas debt. Upon calling in the scrip it was found that the United States could pay seventy-six dollars eighty-five cents and five mills on the hundred. And at this rate the payment has been carried on hereto fore. Texas had paid thirty per cent, on her ten per cent, scrip, which of course was to be deducted from the face of the paper held. The mistake occurred in first deducting the thirty percent, paid by Texas, aud making tho pro rata division on the remainder, instead of making a one hundred per cent, the basis ot calculation and deducting the thirty per cent, which Texas had paid. The orders sent by telegraph were that the payment of the drafts should be stopped, or that they should be paid, less six per cent, dis count. Bat in all probability most of the dratts have already been cashed, in which case the money is gone. The Syracuse Journal intimates that Miss Sarah l’ollet is to take the stump for the Re publican nominees. l’aporpellcts are usually considered not very dangerous: but Sarah pellets are very different things.

( Tlle question now is, who is major General Ruthven ? Is there any such man ? If there is, he must be loud of a joke, lie bamboozled 1 rampton awfully. —Richmond Dispatch. The Novelist’s Son.

James, as we under stand. visited them late on last Saturday night, and called one of them out with the appa rent purpose of speaking with him. After some words, he cut open tho Indian’s head with a bowie knife; two others came out, not knowing what had happened, whereupon Mr. Janies cut the arm off one of them, and laid open the side of the other.

A little child about eight months old was nursing at the time, aud when the poor woman was struck, it rolled off'her lap upon the floor, but was un injured. No others were hurt. A correspondent of the London Star thus speaks of Lord Palmerston : It is the duty of our representatives to give a decisive vote against Lord Palmerston, in endangering our relations w th America on such a low paltry affair as that of attempting to engage a few men to fight our battles.

It is said that he had taken by the hand every President irom Washington to Pierce..

The Roc or of Trinity church, New York, estimates the whole property of the church at 810,000,00). Judge Jay shows it to be dou ble that amount.
