COLUMBD'9: Friday Morning, Augunt 1886. LIK6KST CITY CIKCCLATION. County Treasurer. We sec by the Acts of the last Session of the Legislature, just published, that the election of County Treasurer of Muscogee county, lias been taken from the Inferior Court, and trans ferred to the people. He is to be elected an- t nually. The first election „o take place on the i let Monday in January next, and on the Ist j Monday in January of each and every year thereafter. The act fixes the puy at 2£ per cent. for moneys received and the same for moneys paid out. The Act applies also to Chattahoochee coun ty- - - • The lute James H. Stevens, formerly Mayor of Houston, Texas, left an estate valued at SBOO,OOO. He bequeathed his homestead, slaves and $25,000, to his wile; $125,000 to his daughter Gertrude, aged four years ; $5,- 000 to his adopted son ; $20,000 to several personal friends ; $5,000 for an academy in Houston, and SI,OOO to each of the Houston churches, viz; the Protestant, Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, baptist, Lutheran and Roman Catholic. C. F. C. 27. Our interpretation, in yesterday’s paper, of the above myterious letters and figures was not correct. The town will be duly enlighten ed as to their real meaning on Saturday next. The Southern baptist of fjiis city contains in the lust weekly issue, a statement from the church in Biyynwcll, refuting and correcting the grievous slanders that have been propaga ted by Abolition journals in relation to the withdrawal of the Rev. G. D. Bourdman, from that pastorate. it is scarcely worth while, to correct the ab olition presses ns the inveterate bias will only work out into another form of falsehood. We clip the abovefrom tho Charleston Cour ier, but cannot tell what are the charges nllu ded to. Recently we published a paragraph stating that Mr. boardman’s opinions of the brooks’assault, and of slavery generally, were deemed incompatible with hie usefulness ns pastor of a South Carolina Church, and that he had therefore withdrawn. This is the only rumor connected with Mr. b’s. name that we have anywhere seen. The Hon. Wm. Acker, who was elected to Congress l'rom tho Fifth Missouri District, on the 4th inst., in the place of the Hori. John G. Miller, deceased, reached Washington in time to present his credentials on the last day of the session, by this patriotic haste he secures a pleasant summer jaunt, and nearly $2,000 mileage. We saw yesterday, says the Alexandria Ga zette, a specimen of ci-ars made by machine ry. They were perfect in form, though rather hard and tight. It is said that cigars can be made much cheaper by this method than by hand. A Lecture from Gen. Jackson. A gentleman who was present at a meeting of tho Spiritualistsof Lowell, last Sabbath, says that a corpulent man, who seemed to have charge, gave out an appointment as follows : “ Noxt Sabbath morning, at the usual hour of divine worship, Gen. Andrew Jackson will lec ture through the medium of brother Pierce.” He added turthor—“that Wednesday after noon, at two o’clock, the ladies would assem ble to decorate the hall for tho reception of Gen. Andrew Jackson’s Spirit.”— Exchange. The country is in great need just now of a lecture from Old Hickory, and if he could only be again brought into the flesh, and duly in stalled at Washington, it would bo still better. If the spirit that has announced itself, be real ly that of Gen. Jackson, tho Massachusetts folks will catch it sure “next Sabbath mor ning.” “Caudle” lectures will be nothing in comparison. *— Mr. DavidS. Waters, long known as an auc tioneer at Washington, while engaged in sell ing a hoise on Saturday, was so severely kick ed by the animal, that he survived only until night. Rev. John W. French, Rector of the Church of the Epiphany in Washington, has been ap pointed by the l’resideut au.lSenute, Chaplain and Professor at the Military Academy, West Point. — The clipper bark Kate (.’leather recently made tho voyage across tho Atlantic in eight days. She is owned by 11. Dubord, Esq., of Quebec. Hon. Mr. Herbert is in New York. He ex pected to leave by the steamer for Colifornia yesterday, on a visit to his constituents. lion. Thomas 11. Renton appeared in the Capitol Friday, having just returned from his arduous political canvass in Missouri, iu excel lent health ami spirits. Somebody has been drumming up visitors to a Northern Watering Place, by reporting in advance, the arrival at it, of the Hon. Preston S. Brooks. —- A California paper states that six clippers brought in, in the latter part of June, about two thousand Chinamen to San Francisco. t hnrles C. Tucker of Washington, late Se cretary of IN ashington National Monument, was robbed of upwards of SBOO, while asleep on bonrd a steamboat on his way to St. Paul’s, Minnesota. Wc are pleased to learn, says the Knoxville, Tenu., Standard, that a private letter received in the city from our representative, Colouel Sneed, brings the gratifying intelligence that the Knoxville Postoflice and Custom House bill passed both houses of Congress before the ad journment, and has become a law. It appro priates $07,000 for the construction of the building, in addition to the cost of the site. An English lawyer made the following charge against the opposite party in a suit : “ This man, gentlemen of the jury, walks mto court like a motionless statue, with a cloak of hyocrisy in his mouth, and is attempt ing to screw thiee large oak trees out of my client 8 pocket.” J Female Doctors. From the Seventh Annual Commencement of the Female Medical College of Pennsylva nia, established in Philadelphia, it appears that there were thirty-five students in attend ance during tho session of 1855-5. The Fifth Annual Commencement was held on the Ist of March last, and the title of M. D. conferred upon four ladies—two of Pennsylvania, and ; one of Maine. Tho Faculty say in their an nouncement, that “a number of liberal citi- j I zens, by generous annual subscriptions have j guarantied its pecuniary support for a term of years, at the expiration of which period the Faculty confidently expect the college to be richly endowed, and sustained by a permanent fund. The demand for well educated female physicians is increasing rapidly, and every where a high and honorable rank in the pro- > session has been rapidly accorded to all who prove themselves worthy of it.” The seventh annual session will commence on Wednesday, October Ist, and cantinue five months. The annual commencement will be held publicly, on Saturday, the last of February next. The corporators appeal to the friends of this insti tution to aid in raising $50,000 to erect u suitable building, and place it on an equality with the best medical schools in the country. - - ■ Cotton.—Short Crops. From the heavy planting region of this county, and from the Alabama-River country generally, we hear of nothing hut the poorest prospects for cotton. The original mishap was the impossibility of putting the lands in prop er order, and all subsequent unfavorable cir cumstances have but aggravated this. We hear of no section of the State which promises a full crop, and the heaviest portion cannot reach an average. These views are universal ly endorsed by our most discerning planters, many of whom calculate on 12J cents for mid dling cotton, with a prospect of more.—Mont gomery Mail With inst. Smash Up. An accident, (says the Albany Express,) the result of miscalculation and want of percep tion, occurred ct West Albany on Thursday evening, which, while it resulted iu no person al injury to any one, caused great damage and loss. A frieght train of eighteen cars coming east was run into by another train also coming this way, and with such headway that five or six cars were entirely demolished. One car contained swine, nearly all of which were ter ribly mangled. Five or six other cars, con taining butter and produce of a perishable na ture, were dovetailed together in such a man ner that it is impossible to tell butter from cheese and cheese from butter. The hind cars of the foremost train, when tho trains came in collision, were piled one upon the other iu great confusion. The debris presents a sorry sight, as the produce is nearly all rendered un fit for consumption. The accident, it is said, was caused by the miscalculation of a flag man, who, not thinking that the rear train was so near, did not get far enough around the curve to prevent a collision. The dam age resulting cannot be less than $5,000 or SO,OOO. Mahogany Stock. The following letter will explain itself: Cajiaba, Ala., Aug. 13, 185 G. Sir: Wo have just read your letter in the National Intelligencer of the 7th iust. in reply to the letter of Senator Pearce, of Maryland. Its language is that of a traitor to his country, a black hearted scoundrel and doomed with others to our hempen rope. You talk of con servatism of 36 30 freedom, liberty and the Constitution to cover your hellish “designs of robbing Southern people of their property by the ultimate effect of Freesoilism. We give you notice, as the magnanimity of Southern men, always will do, that a reward of $20,000 is offered for your scalp whether taken with the of a savage or with the more elegant skill of a patriotic surgeon. You may look out, withfearand trembling as every scoundrel should who has no respect for the II Commandment, “ Attend to their own bu siness.” To gratify a base political design, you would have our slaves set free and our wives and children murdered. Such a Devil deserves assassination, ami God will bless the murderer. Vigilance Committee. Gen. J. Watson W’ebb. - Col. Benton on Fremont. The following letter is published in the New York papers: Washington City, April 15, 1856. Sir : Your request for material to be used in writing a memoir of Col. Fremont has been received. I suppose it is w ith a view to be used in the election with whichbianame seems to be connected, and as I am entirely opposed to that movement, I can do nothing to promote it in any way. Respectfully yours, THOMAS 11. BENTON. Cold Country. A letter of July 4, from Egstet, iu Norway, in the Augsburg Gazette, says: “The temper ature is extraordinary cold for the season.— Last night tho thermometer was so low that in some localities the potatoes were frozen in the ground. Two days ago it snowed part of the day. On the heights of tho Thelemarke tho cold has been so severe that cows and sheep have perished. The snow was a foot deep there. On the Ist ot July the Axet steamer was prevented from leaving Karlsted by a snow storm. Scientific Congress. Albany, Aug. 22.—Tho Association reoeiv- j ed sever 1 new members. Papers were read in the section of Mathematics but they gener ally were devoid of interest. Prof. Redfield read a very interesting paper on Typhoons iu the North Pacific. Prof. Hare denied that there was such a thing as a traveling %hirl- j wind, and said he was about to publish a book proving his position. In the section of Geolo gy the morning was occupied in discussing the age of rocks. Prof. Rogers, in the section of Mathemat ics. read a paper ou the history ami theory of j the instrument kuown as the Rotascope, which gave rise to a very animated debate. An interesting paper was read by Professor Bache on the approximate citidal Hues of diur nal and reurdniurnal tides of the coast of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico. The paper read in the section of Natural History was by Prof. Foster, on the geological position of the fossil elephant of North Amer ica. Os Course Not. We have no desire, says the New London, (Conn.) Chronicle, to injure the molasses trade, but we simply state the fact, that Mr. Richards, who keeps a store on the Hartford road, a few days since, found in one of his empty molasses hogsheads a human skeletou, the remains, no doubt, of a negro, who was probably asleep in the hogshead when it was i filled on the plantation. From the Hollidaysburg Standard. Mr. Sumner in i the Pennsylvania Moun tains. This martyr of Free Kansas, Free Speech, and Free Niggers, as we stated in our Inst, is, or lately has been, rusticating at the house of Dr. Jackson, of Cressou. Since his arrival, what little sympathy was manifested for him in his neighborhood has entirely given away to feelings of deep disgust. There is nothing whatever the matter with him. He is bale j and hearty, has a good appetite, and talks pol itics with all the bitter vindictiveness that a Y’ankee fanatic can command. One day last week, Col. D. H. Hofius, an old line whig, and J. Blair Moore, democrat, of this place, and Col. J. J. Patterson, Republi can, one of the editors of the Harrisburg He rald, visited Cressen. In company with a man named Gemrnil, at the invitation of Dr. Jack son, they called upon Mr. Sumner, who re ceived them very cordially. He soon asked j Mr. Hofius how Mr. Ford had succeeded here, j The Colonel told him frankly that he did not succeed very well—that his meeting was com posed of Democrats and Fillmore men—that very few Fremont men were present, in con sequence of their being but few in the place, i This frank avowal irritated the gentlemen with the soft brain, and be poured a perfect ; torrent of invectives against Pennsylvanians. While emptying his vials of black Republican wrath, he declared that the whigs and demo crats of Pennsylvania were white slaves, and that he should glory iu seeing them brought ! to the block, and disposed of under the auc tioneer’s hammer. This unqualified assertion of the Yankee fa natic did not fail to arouse tho indignation of the Pennsylvanians, and Col. Hofius rnado some tart reply, which only aggravated the maityr the more, and he showed abuse of the foulest kind upon Pennsylvanians indiscrimin ately, and when the party attempted to vindi cate their State, the dignified A’ankee Aboli tionist coolly opened a boston paper, and commenced reading. The party came away completely disgusted, and Col. Hofius, who previously felt great sympathy for tho man before he uttered such attrocious sentiments, declares openly that his Honor earned a great many more callings than lie has ever received. Since the publication of the above, an emi nent gentleman of Greensburg has received a letter from Dr. Jackson, who states that Mr. Sumner, in his recollection of the conversa tion, gives it as a remark made by him in quo tation of John Randolph, but I cannot for my life see how this makes it better for the ungen tlemanly Yankee; if it be the language of John Randolph, he, of course, adapted it to gentlemen invited to the house of his host and in conversation used it, as for himself. But this a fair sample of Black Republican argu ment. They denounce every body and every thing that is not of their way of thinking, and suppose by it to drive us to support the candi date of Wall-street speculators. Sumner is in the proper part of Pennsylvania to have re peated a dose of the same medicine adminis tered to him, which one would think had quieted the bilge that he pumps from a dirty mind and vitiated taste ; and my advice is for him to remove to the more congenial sphere of Massachusetts fanaticism, where his bil lingsgate and vituperation will have more ef fect, for he will find that the law-abiding peo ple of this State have no sympathy for a black-guard of any kind. Romantic Marriage. A party of young ladies and gentlemen, says the Albany Knickerbocker, went out riding one evening last week, and stopped at a tavern a short distance from the city, where they had supper. After which they amused themselves by getting up a marriage. A squire, who was at the place at the time, was called on and married a couple. Everything appeared to go off as merry as the occasion required. The bride appeared to be delighted with her new title, and the groom was, evidently, never bet ter pleased with himself in the world. The party returned to the city towards morning, and it was with great reluctance the groom parted with his fair bride. She consoled the poor fellow, by telling him it would astonish her folks, to have them wake up in the mor ning and find him iu the house, and that he had better wait till the next evening. With great reluctance he submitted. The next evening, however, found him at her dwelling, but the bride, instead of being there to receive her lord and master, had taken shelter in her bedroom, and forbade liis en trance. She, it appears, had taken a sober second thought, and came to the conclusion that she would ratner enjoy single blessedness for a while longer. The poor groom, dejected and broken hearted, of course, had to retire from the field. Sundry messages have passed between the parties since then, but how it is to terminate wc are unable to say. That they arc fairly and legitimately married is plain, from all we can learn. Tl.e affair has caused considerable excitement in certain circles in town. The lady is young, beautiful and ac complished. The gentleman is quite good looking, aud we have no doubt would make a good husband. The only remedy she lias is to apply to the Legislature, but we hope she will think better and acknowledge the gentleman, who pledged himself to be her protector through life, to be her liege lord. That’s the way to do it. A Cannon of New Construction. Yesterday afternoon, the 15th inst., a small company assembled at the arsenal to witness the trial of a cannon constructed upon anew principle, and invented by our fellow citizen, Mr. Dimick, the gunsmith, on Main street.— The trial commenced about two o’clock, at the north east corner of the arsenal wall, the gun being directed to tho head of the sand bar op posite, a distance of upwards of half a mile, j Os ten shots made, after we arrived on the ground, five of them struck the target, which was about seven feet square. This was con sidered excellent shooting at that distance.— n ’he balls are octagonal at the base, and about four inches in diameter, elongated some ten inches, nnd pointed similar to the Minnie lisle ! bullet. The squares in the bore at eso formed ; as to project the ball with extraordinary force, causing it to rotate in its flight. It is sup posed that greater accuracy can be obtained iu the working of this gun than that of any other now in use. The persons on the ground familiar with artillery, were highly pleased with the performance, and wo presume an elaborate description of the gun will shortly be given to the public. The abolitionists down East are about start- j ing anew theory of the human race. They are convinced that the negro was the original typo of mankind, and that the white man is the negro in a greatly degenerate condition.— The aim of philanthropy now is to elevate the white race to tho original exalted condition of the original type. Among the official frauds brought to light in San Francisco, it is said the undertakers sold expensive coffins, sometimes at S2OO or S3OO each, and as soon as mourners’ backs were turned, the coffins were capsized, the bodies emptied into the rough wooden boxes, and then the original coffins takeu back and sold to the next customer.

Congressional—Sxtra Session. Washington, August 26.—1n the Senate, to-day, Mr. Crittenden gave notice of a bill to alter and amend the Nebraska-Kansas Act. Mr. Weller, pursuant to notice, introduced a bill to abrogate certain laws of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas, including the oaths now required as qualifications for office. Mr. Wilson proposed an amendment, abolishing all laws of the Kansas Legislature relative to slaves and slavery, releasing all persons now under arrest or prosecution for offences against the Territorial authority, providing for an elec tion in November, and for the punishment of illegal voters. Some debate occurred on this bill and proposed amendment, but no action was taken. In the House, the special committee appoint ed to inquire into the fracas between Mr. Mc- Mullen and Mr. Granger, presented a report, recommending no action to the House. Kansas Meeting in St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. Kansas meeting in this city to-day was very large.

The Synod of Mississippi (New School,) at their late meeting, adopted the following ac tion : The Committee on the Minutes of the Gene ral Assembly, offered the following report, which was read and unanimously adopted: Whereas, The agitation of the subject of slavery in our General Assembly for several years past, has produced alienation of feeling between the Northern and Southern portions of our Church, weakening thereby the bonds of both Church and State, and crippling in some degree, our influence ; therefore, “Resolved, 1. That while we feel bound by the most sacred obligations, to seek the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, and deep ly deplore any schism in the body of Christ, we are constrained to say that such agitation is unjust, oppressive, and unwarranted by the Word of God. “2. That, as a Synod, we hold ourselves in ! readiness to co-operate with our brethren in the other Southern Synods in any action which may seem to be demanded by our relation to the General Assembly. “3. That the Stated Clerk of is | hereby directed to open a correspondence with a view to fraternal interchange of opinion be tween the Southern Synods upon this subject, ! and submit the result of said correspondence j at the next meeting of the Synod.” Monument to the late Andrew J. Downing. A tasteful monument stone, says the Na j tional Intelligencer, to the memory of the late | Andrew J. Downing has just been placed in j the Smithsonian grounds by the friends of that valuable and lamented citizen. The monument consists of a large aud massive vase, finely carved, resting ou a block four feet square, with sunken panels, each containing appropriate inscriptions, descriptive of the virtues and professional merits of the deceas ed, who was distinguished as a landscape gar dener and writer on rural subjects. The en tire structure is ten feet six inches high. The Government and public of Washington are in debted to the taste aud judgment of Downing for the beautiful arrangement of the parks aud public squares of that city. Nine days’ Trance. Two weeks ago, we mentioned the fact of ! the mysterious disappearance from the dranmt- I ic troupe of E. N. Harris, while at Willough- ‘ by. ot Adolphus Grater. His disapearance ! was sudden and inexplicable, leaving all his ! clothes nnd other effects. After nine days’ ah- ! senee he turned up in the waters of Lake Erie, j a few yards from shore, struggling to keep i from sinking. He says lie is unconscious of what has transpired since he left the company at Willoughby, till lie found himself struggling in the water. He soon gained the shore, and ! found a house where lie was cared for, but j where he was or how lie citine there was more than lie knew. He had been in a trance or some nambulistic state for nine days.—Peters burgh (l a.) Express. An Unexpected Visitor. A few evenings since, a young lady of t i city, says, the Albany Knickerbocker o, passage on the Isaac Newton, at New y O . During the evening she was much annoyed I tho uncalled for situation of an old gentlein of very respectable appearance, being u 1,.. and having no acquaintance ou the boat permitted herself to get into conversation'* the venerable gallant. Ho talked agreea l and entertainingly until the young [, thought it was about time to retire, and v about starting oft', when lie intimated thatt had a fine airy state room, which she might i cupy, as it was more cooler and plensntor th sleeping below. The young lady, of cour- 1 indignantly resented the proffer, by quin;, I the reverend seducer. The next evening. 1 had occasion to make a call at a friend's hoi 1 in the vicinity of her residence, when show ■ introduced to the licv. Mr. of Saratov I county. The scene that followed was big; 1 ludicrous and amusing. The lady openedri; 3 on the old fellow, while he strongly protest,! she was mistaken. The matter was situ 1 hushed up by the family. Yankee Sentiment. The, people of Connecticut are not general suspected of being given to sentiment, but tb have evinced a degree of tenderheartedness 1 regard to the destruction of their leafy met f arch, the famous Charter Oak, worthy ofif. J most romantic community of Germany, jy j Hartford papers yesterday were put in nmun 1 ing, and we are informed that the bells of J city were tolled, at sundown, and that a dip l was performed, at noon, by Colt’s band ovri the prostrate tree. This touch of nature; our Connecticut neighbors is most creditati! to tlieir refinement, and will astonish marl who probably think that the Charter (laj would be immediatly manufactured into clock! and nutmegs. But we presume that its precioij wood will be religiously preserved and mail up into snuff boxes, canes, fans, and other obi jects that can be kept as mementoes of ftl venerale tree. —[A r . Y. Times, Aug. 22. “I Don’t Dance.” A plain unlettered man came from the baci! country in the State of Alabama, to Tuscal loosa, and on the Sabbath went early t*! church. He had been accustomed to attend meet! ings in school houses and private dwelling! when each one npropriated to themselves til first seat which they found unoccupied. H,l selected a convenient slip, and awaited patientl ly the assembling of the congregation.-! Presently the music of a full toned organ but! sted upon his astonished ear ; lie had nevcf heard one before. At the same time the geal tleman who owned the slip, came up the nblJ with his lady leaning on his arm. As he a; | proached tho door of the slip, he motioned foil the countryman to come out in order to git! place to the lady. This movement the coin try man did not comprehend, and from tkf situation of the gentleman and the lady, assJ ciated as it was in his mind with the music he immediately concluded that a cotillion, e French contra-dance was intended. Kisisi partly from his seat, he said to the gentleman’ who was still beckoning to him—“ Excuse me sir—excuse me, if you please—l don’t dance Influence of Grapes upon Teeth. In the Westren Dental Convention, in see l sion at Detroit, I)r. Perkins, of New York, stated that a pupil of his who had visited - Damascus and Mosel, in the Mediterranean, found that in the latter place, where grapes | were abundant and freely by the peo ple, they r were not subject to premature de l cay of teeth, while in the former city, where: this fruit was scarcely indulged in, the peopltl had their teeth in no such healthful degreed| comparison. Dr. P. said there were morel dentists in the United States than in all Eu rope. Plain Facts for Thinking Men. W e ask the attention of every candid reader to the following brief statement of incontro. yertible facts. Let them be read without pre-J judice and remembered with profit: The South and Slavery.—The South In never been an importer of slaves. The South has never reduced freemen to slavery. The North has reduced millions to perpet ual slavery, they and their posterity. The guilt of slavery, of making slave.-, stains not the South. It does crimson the North all over. The South protested against the introduc tion of slavery, and passed laws prohibiting it which were vetoed by royalty. Tho South petitioned and remonstrated will the royal authority against tho injustice an-1 injury of slavery. When the North desired to get rid of slave! ry it had the means of doing so, and at tfc< same time of realizing the full value of every slave, and of getting them without- trouble or| expense beyond their borders.— Wash. Scut l "’ Good for Trade- The extended petticoats now in vogue gi (t the cord makers full employment. One# 1 Newburyport, Mass., has sold $2,000 worth! a single dealer in this dress cord in Boston ‘ within the last four months, and all the null’ ulacturers have been unable to supply the de t mand for the extension of these fabulooM skirts. Chloroform upon Animals. It being nccessury, a few days ago, to pe [ form an operation upon a favorite horse be longing to Rev. A. W. Burnham, of RindgM N. 11., chloroform was given with comp!- 1 ’ success. The horse laid down quietly in * sound sleep, and did not wake t 11 fifteen tub utes after the operation was over, having if parently suffered not a particle of pain. A Bull Dog and a Bear. A man in this city, whose stock consist- > j horses, has a novel way of preventing const* hies from levying upon his property. At side of his door is chained a fierce bull dog with rope enough to enable him to guard ha the entrance. At the other side is a sftviip bear, which has chain enough to barely iv:h the dog. Between Tray and Bruin it is>*’ possible to effect an entrance, as a certain ® constable found to his cost after walking s j couple of miles with his attachment. — ChioV I Democrat. A furious Black ilepublicau paper, the Chjj | cago Tribune, whose editor lately paid a vi"“ j to the Indinns, says : “They are a filthy, huf ] worthless race of loafers, morally and j lectuahy, as far beneath the negro as the ,K ‘ j gro is below the white man.” An uninte"’ j tional disclosure of the real opinion whi - ; these Black Republican hypocrites eutert-- 1 of the negro race. Two States at We3t Point. The Americans of Georgia and Ahu 1,1 have a State-line Mass Meeting, at West Pc' 11, I next Saturday.
