COLUMBUS: Thursday tllornißKi Sept* li 1850. LAKUKNT CITV CIRCULATION. Crops and the Weather. The Times is informed that for sixty miles around Columbus, both cotton and corn have been seriously injured by the gale —the former being blown out, uud the latter blown down. The weather since the storm has been quite cool, even uncomfortably so iu the morning. We anticipate however a few more hot days before the first frost. c. r. a. What has become of the Columbus Relief Association ? We have not heard of it since our report of the speeches made by Dr. Flew ellen and Col. Ilogan ; and are a little afraid that the latter gentleman, who said he “didn’t want to belong to a temporary concern,” but afterwards joined the “Relief,” has done what he didn’t want to do. If the quiescence of the Society is owing to lack of subjects needing relief, we congratu late the town; but if suffering still exists among us, wo exhort the Society in the name of Charity and Mercy, to stir its stumps and immediately get up steam. The Mobile & Girard Rood. This valuable contributor to the growing prosperity of our city, whose benefits seem to increase iu geometrical progression ns it ap proaches completion, has made an excellent start this season, having brought in, prior to the firHt inst., one hundred and forty-eight bales, principally of the new crop. In the way of trade it also promises well. Its deliv ery of passengers is also very large, most of whom do not pass through, hut come to trade with our merchants, and have orders billed at our various places of home industry, livery day demonstrates the wisdom of those who projected it and we shall in a day or two, make its success, a precedent from which to argue in favor of anew road, as yet unsurveyed ; but which when built, will pour into the lap of Columbus untold quantities of the mineral and agricultural wealth of our sister state, Alabama. Yellow Fever in Charleston. The Hoard of Health report one death from Yellow Fever for the two days ending Sunday uiglit 10 o’clock, aud two deaths omitted in Saturday’s bulletin through neglect of Sexton to report; for the twenty four hours ending Monday night 10 o’clock, three deaths are re ported. From Waoo, Texas. Some weeks since, we published a rumor from the Shreveport Gazette, to the effect that tho inhabitants of the above place had been all murdered by Indians. Some of our read ers who had friends still farther west, were made very uneasy. We are pleased to learn that the report was unfounded. So at least we presume, as we find a long letter from Waco the 12th ult., in the Houston Tele* graph, giving local news of the place, account of a railroad meeting, &c., and nothing about the massacre. The Scientific Convention. This body, in session nt Albany, New York, adjourned on the 28tli, to meet at Montreal, August 12th, 1857. Since our last report, Prof. Pearce of Cam bridge read a condensation of a very abstruse and curious paper, entitled “Tho Elements of Potential Arithmetic.” The drift of the paper was to show that inasmuch as, if we had tLe power to make a world, we should be under the necessity of making very much such a world as this is, it is evident that the world was cre ated by an intellect similar to ours. Prof. Hare, the celebrated chemist, who has become a convert to Spiritualism, atul written a book on it, attended tho Convention, and made several attempts to speak for tho edifi cation of non-believers in the new ism. Rut he was not allowed to do so, and Prof. Agassis told him on his last trial to obtain a hearing, to wait till the Convention adjourned, and he could then have u showing. Tho Savans pre- Ront. seemed to think that Science and Spirit ualism are very different things. The Profes sor yielded, aud after tho adjournment ad dressed a very large audience. We have no report of his remarks. On Thursday, the Dudley Astronomical Ob servatory at Albany was inaugurated. A bril liant audience of four to five thousand per sons, including the members of the Scientific ability, and official position, and a largo mini- Congress,and others distinguished for learning, her of ladies, were in attendance. A letter was read from Mrs. Dudley, donating fifty thousand dollars for the furtherance of the objects for which the Observatory was found ed. Tho announcement of her liberality was received with acclamation and a general up rising of the audience. The Hon. Edward Everett delivered the inaugurntory address, taking for his subject “The Uses of Astrono my.” Gov. Hunt, Professors llucho, Gould, aud others, made brief addresses, and the af fair passed off in the happiest maimer. Tho Texas Legislature has passed a law pro hibiting the introduction of free negroes into that State, under a penalty of not less than #2OO. Masters of vessels may bring them as cooks, but in no other capacity. Act to take effect on the Ist of December next. —— We have te report a marriage iu high life. The King of the Sandwich Islands has been married to Miss Emma ltooke, daughter of Dr. 11. B. llooke. The King is 22 years old—the bride 20. The marriage was iu accordance with the rites of the Church of Knglnud. The administration, it is stated, will make a formal demand for reparation for damages sustained by our citxens in the riot at Panama, and will enforce the claim, if necessary. It is supposed that the estimate of the loss made by Consul Corwine exeeeds reality. Some testimony Las been taken at Washington, un der affidavit, and other steps have been author- ised to assure correctness. ■ Amos A. Lawrence declines the nomination for tho Governorship of Mass.,-tendered by the Mate Convention of the Fillmore Americans. The Gale—The Weather—The Crops Savannah papers of Tuesday have nothing to say about the galo, of much import. The Republican estimates the damage to the Rice 1 crops in that vicinity at five per cent of the whole yield. At Charleston it commenced raiuingon'i'hurs day, and continued up to some time Sunday , night. The fall of water was immense. The j gale sprang up about sunset, Sunday, continu- j ing all night. Trees uprooted, some roofs blown oft', but no great harm done. Shipping ! suffered little if any. Nothing said about j crops. At Columbia, S. C., gale heavy, no great damage done. Nothing said about crops.— Rains general and heavy iu South Carolina. At Augusta rain very heavy, beginning Thursday, ending Monday morning. Wind tremendous; no damages to crops or property mentioned. All the railroad trains behind time, and it is feared roads much damaged.— We hear that the South Carolina road has suf fered considerably. At Alilledgeville wind and rain very severe ; many fences and trees blown down. The Fed eral Union reports the fall of three immense trees near one residence, greatly endangering the lives of the inmates; nothing said about crops. The Selma (Ala.) Reporter of Monday eve ning says nothing of a stortn in that section. The above is all the news received in regard to the Storm. We give some crop items below: The Thomasviße (Ga.) Enterprise, 2Gth ult. is informed by a friend that lie and others counted on a stalk of S. I. cotton, on the farm of Henry Allen, in Thomas county,B2ssquares, and that many other stalks, in different parts of the field numbered from six to seven hun dred. The Greensboro (Ala.) Beacon of late date says: The general opinion is that the cotton crop will bo cut very short in this section of the State by the boll worm. Many of our plan ters assure us that they will not make half the crops they made last year, even with the most favorable seasons from this time till frost.— And this complaint of the worm is notconfined to the cancbrake lands, but to every quality of soil—and to every part of the county from which we have heard. The Savannah Republican 3rd, says : From all the information we can collect from plan ters and factors, we apprehend the Sea Island Cotton crop of the year, will be materially short of that of the year 1855. The whole season, thus far, has been an unfavorable one—the lateness of the spring—the drought of the summer—and the present rainy and stormy weather, all tend to counteract tho successful labor of the planter. The stalk of the weed is diminutive, the opening bolls are small, and the seed poorly coated with lint. In South Carolina the crop has seldom been more unpromising than it is tho present sea son. In this State, although the prospects are rather better than in the Palmetto State, still, the crop is very inferior to that of the preced ing year ; on the islands they have suffered less than on the main. The crops of Florida, according to accounts are more promising, on the whole, than those of the two old States.— There some are very good, while others are al most a total failure. A long continuance of the present wet weather, must add still more to the disappointment of the planters, while a must favorable fall cannot repair tho damage already done. Texas dates to the 20th ult., received yester day, represent the crops in Western Texas as having suffered severely for want of rain. A gentleman who has just returned from Austin, informs the Goliad Express that the corn crop, through the country lie traveled over, is al most entirely destroyed, and that large planta tions of fine land will not average two bushels to the acre. Bible Revision. We notice in the Newuan Blade, a card from the Rev. Jas. Davis, of Louisville, Ky., agent for a paper devoted to the cause of Bible revi sion. Appended thereto is an article on the subject, and the following: N. B.—Should you publish, will you request tho Macon aud Columbus papers of all sides, to do an old Georgian and an old Minister, who has a catholic heart, the favor to repub lish ; also, nil papers in Georgia and tho South will perhaps do justice to a much misunder stood and misrepresented cause—the Revision of tlie Holy Bible. We should like to oblige the “old Georgia Minister with a catholic heart,” but we aro opposed to the whole thing, from top to bot tom. The old original King James Bible is good enough for anybody. Thousands and millions have found their way to Heaven by it, and it still points in that direction to all who are sincerely anxious to get there. Once be gin the work of improvement, ns it is called, and there will be no end to it. Every body will have a Bible to suit their peculiar views. The “narrow way” will be broadened, macada mized, made easy—and God alone knows but the “ improvers” will put steam upon it; whereas it is a thorny road and a hard one, and never will bo easy except through Bible revisions, the result of which will be that the world will learn to do without any Bible at all. M e hope the “old Georgia minister” will take no offence at our plainness. We had much rather see tho revisers urging the world to read tho Old Bible and try to come up to it, than to see them making anew oue. ■- Amusing Quarrel. The young folks of Ashland, 0., aro “ war ring with their wishes” in a rather humorous way. The Times says: “ A society has been formed among tho young ladies of Ashland, having thccommenda blc object in view of inducing the young men to abstain from all intoxicating drinks—even ale, beer, wine or cider. A provision of tho society debarring young ladies from associat ing with those who refuse to sign the pledge, having become public, some of the young gents refused to sign, protesting against such action, and formed another society, which requires of the young Indies, to make them eligible to ‘good society,’ to abandon hoops, paint and Alabama silk. We havo not heard whether the two part es design nominating candidates for ! the Presidency.” Tlie girls are right—stick to the pledge.— I The young men are very unreasonable. What would some of the ladies he without hoops nnd paint ? There would not he euough of them j for the “fellers” to court. By the way, what is “Alabama silk 7” —Sandusky Reyister. “1 oung ’un,” don’t you know 7 “ Alabama silk” grows on a cotton plant; it was used at New Orleans by Geu. Jackson for breastworks. — CUvelander. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. Outrages iu Kansas. Chicago, Aug. 28. —Dr. Suter, formerly of New Y'ork city, passed through, here to-duy, on his way from Lawrence. He reports that he wus j publicly robbed of #2,500 at Westport, and it ( was proposed to drown him in the river at that place, but through the interposition of a per ! son whose life Suter formerly saved, tlie threat was not executed. The Quaker Mission has been entirely bro , ken up, and all the inmates have left. Gov. Johnston and tlie Vice Presidency. New Yotk, Aug. 29.—1 tis rumored that ef forts are making to induce Gov. Johnston, of Pennsylvania, to decline the nomination for the Vice Presidency in favor of Mr. Dayton.— There is considerable excitement among tho i North Americans, who in that event will turn their whole strength over to Fillmore. Some deny the rumor and declare that Johnston will i not forsake the North American cause. Members Returned. Washington, Aug. 29.—Messrs, of Hall, lo wa, Purycar and Watson, members of the House have returned to the Capitol. The last named paired off. Bayard Clark, of New York, is paired off with Mr. Valk. A Senatorial caucus was held this morning, when it was again resolved to remain in session in hope of passing the Army bill. Nicaragua News. New Orleans, Aug. 27.—A private letter from Granada, of the 15th, states that Mr. Livingston, U. S. Consul at Leon, had been shot, in retaliation for the shooting of Col. Sa lizar, by Gen. Walker. Appleton Oaksmitli has been appointed Nicaraguan Minister to Washington. The Government of Nicaragua Imd issued a decree authorizing a loan of two millions of dollars. Terms liberal. Fremont Mass Meeting. Bangor, Me., Aug. 28.—The Fremont and Dayton mass meeting at this place to-day was attended by over ten thousand people. There was a procession over two miles long, with mu sic, banners, &c. Speeches were made by Gen. Nye of New \ T ork, Messrs. Elliott and Goodrich of Massachusetts, and Lott M. .Mor rill. In the evening there was a large meet in Norumbega Hall. The whole constituted one of the most successful political demonstra tions ever held in the State. The Fever at Quarantine. New Y'okk, Aug. 30.—There have been three new cases of the yellow fever at Clifton, on Staten Island, and eight deaths among the U. S. Troops at Governor’s Island. Markets. New Orleans, Aug. 29—The Sales of the day have only reached 400 bales, and quota tions are nominal. She sales of the week are 3,450; increase of receipts at this port, as compared with previous year 455,000, aud our stock on hand now, 7,550. The Fracas at Catoosa. We find the following letter in the Atlanta Examiner. Not exchanging with the Peufield Crusader, of which Mr. Seals is editor, We have not seen his statement, alluded to be low: Catoosa Springs, Ga., I August 80, 185 G. j Dear Sir: We have noticed with astonish ment, the publication of a “statement” by Mr. Seals of the recent difficult} 1 between you and himself at Catoosa Springs, inasmuch as that difficulty had been amicably and satisfactorily adjusted by friends from each of you and any disturbance of this adjustment must be held as a gross breach of honor. The terms of the adjustment wore these— Dr. Paul F. Eve and Col. Crosby Connell, in behalf and by consent of Mr. Seals, proffered an unconditional apology, for the offense given, in the first place, and we in your behalf and by your consent, in view of the facts, tendered an unconditional apology for the castigation in flicted. When those terms were repeated to Mr. Seals he did not “protest” as he asserts in his published “statement.” The position of Mr. Seals under this publi cation is beyond the consideration of men who regard honor, and we as your friends unhesi tatingly advise you to take no further notice of his claims to meet you as a gentleman. The above statement and recommendation we consider due to you in this form, and as soon as the other gentlemen connected with the conference can be heard from, a card will be issued to the public stating the terms of adjustment. Yours respectfully, &c., ALFRED I’AULLAIN, R. C. NELSON. To Gen. J. G. Bynum. Increase of ‘‘Vigilance.” The increasing number of Vigilance Com mittees at the North, are very good evidence of what free society is coming to. We notice as the most recent developcment, that outrages nt Rochester, N. York, have induced the citzeus of that place to appoint a Vigilance Committee, who however, very modestly, do not propose to assume any other power than that of a detec tive police, handing over to the legal author ities any of the rascals which may fall into their hands. Each night a strong force will be detailed for duty, and it is expected that they will patrol the district set apart for them from the usual hour of closing dwellings snd stores until the next morning. A Gleam of Hope. It is said that the Army Appropriation, i without the proviso, would have passed on S Thursday by a vote of one hundred and six to | one hundred nnd two, had the Democratic l absentees been present, showing a clear ma jority of four in favor of tho bill without the proviso—five, if the Speaker be not counted. Os the nine democratic absentees, all can be gotten back, except Messrs. Herbert and | Paine, the latter being confined at home by i sickness. This will give the friends of the appropriation a majority of three, as the Speaker can only vote iu ease of a tie. The Herbert Case. The Washington Star states that a warrant has been issued iu that city against Messrs. Buell & Blanchard, charging them with libeling Marshal J. D. Hoover in a pamphlet published by them headed “Tho Killing of Thomas Keat ing—an address from the Irishmen of Wash ington city to the Citizens of the United States.” The pamphlet is issued as an elec tioneering document, and charges Marshal , Hoover with having packed a jury in the Her bert case favorable to tlie prisoner. Mr. Bu- I ell appeared before Justice Goddard aud gave security for his appearance at a further hear -1 ing. Gold Thimble for Jessie. A gold thimble has been manufactured by Messrs. Kitchunt & Brothers, of Liberty place, as a present to “Jessie.” It is com posed entirely of pure California metal, and cost about fifty dollars. On the sides are sculptured designs of an appropriate emblem atic character, among which is a view of tho White House. Ou a shield is inscribed Jessie and a: <>nud the rim are the words, “Freedom, I Free speech and Fre-Mont.” The Muscogee Railroad. We publish iu another column the official proceedings of the late annual meeting of the Directors and Stockholders of the Muscogee Railroad company. Tho uew President of tho company, Mr. John L. Mustain, is a man of large business capacity and experience, and a man of indom \ itable energy. We are pleased to learn that the dentention j j ou the Road caused by the falling of a bridge ! | on Upatoie Creek, during the late storm, has j been partially remedied by the construction of j a temporary foot bridge, aud that the cars | : will cross the creek by the close of the week. While wo arc upon this subject wo will ex plain more fully a remark of ours in a late ! editorial. We remarked, upon the authority of the Treasurer, that the general stock account had been increased §(<4,000 during the last year, and referred to the annual report for j particulars. We ought to have added that ! this increase of general stock account was : made by merging §O,BOO of 7 per cent,, pre* I ferred stock, into general stock; also by the return of $18,624:13 of old scrip for which | general stock has been issued ; aud by the is suance of stock to the amount of $44,100 to John D. Gray for work on his contract, and of §2,975:84 to John 11. Howard for work nnd interest payable in stock to other stockhold ers.— Columbus Times, yesterday. Look Out for the Rascal. Louis A. Godey, of Philadelphia, requests us to warn the public against the swindling devices of a person calling lrmself E. Morgan, who professes to be a traveling agent for (he Ladies’ Book. Mr. E. E. Brown, of this city, forwarded to Mr. G. a certificate of agency held by this E. Morgan, as coming from Mr. Godey, which the latter declares to boa for gery. Mr. Godey further says that he lias no traveling agent in the South or elsewhere, and the public of Georgia, Alabama and Florida had better look out for this E. Morgan, who, it seems, left Brown’s Hotel without paying his bill. Pass him round.— Georyia Citizen. Well Done. A letter to the Baltimore Clipper says: The President yesterday signed a bill appropriat ing forty thousand dollars for the purchase, from the Salvors, of the ship abandoned iu the seas by the British crew in search of Sir John Franklin; the vessel to be presented by the United States to England, as a testimonial or approval of the business in which the vessel was engaged at the time of the abandonment. Such international courtesies should warm the heart of every lover of his country; they serve to strengthen human ties and to bind in friendship, nations speaking the same lan guage, and whose true policy is commerce and peace. Imported Cattle. The clipper ship Simoda arrived at Boston, Monda}% from Havre, with three specimens of cattle selected at the recent Paris agricultural exhibition, by Paran Stevens. They comprise one Alderney and two Guernsey cows, each of which took premiums at the fair, and they were selected from hundreds for competition at the greatest cattle show ever held in Eu rope. Negro Stealing. The Winnsboi'o (S. C.,) Register states: Some few days ago a young man by the name of Buford, who was acting as clerk for Mr. Gamble, of the Winnsboro Hotel, disappeared, and at the same time also a negro boy. Sus picions w’ere aroused that there was some con cert of action between them. Mr. Gamble wrote immediately to some of his friends in Greensboro, N. C., requesting them to be on the look out. A day or two ago he received a letter informing him of the apprehension of both Buford and the negro at Greensboro. They have both been brought back and lodged in tlie jail, where Buford will await his trial for life. Death of Benj. Y. Beene, Esq. It is with melancholy regret, that w r e an nounce the death of this young gentleman, which event occurred at Shelby Springs, on last Friday evening about 7 o’clock. Mr. Beene, was a young man of fine talents, and at tlie time of his death, occupied the portion of Alternate Elector on the Democratic ticket for this District. Ilis remains were brought to this city on Saturday evening, aud interred on yesterday with Masonic honors. Serious Affray. We learn, says the Memphis Eagle, from a gentleman direct from Linden, Arkansas, on the St. Francis river, that a difficulty occur red between a number of gentlemen, residents of that place, which resulted in the death of six of the party. The disturbance grew out of a political dispute. Minister from Washington. A Washington correspondent of the N. York Herald says : “1 learn this morning, from no official source, however, but yet from a reliable and generally well informed quarter, that Lord Ilowden has received the appointment of Minister to tho United States, in place of Mr. Crampton, dis missed. His Lordship, rumor asserts, is a tried and fast friend to this country, as well as being an able and experienced diplomat.” —♦ The cotton manufacturing interest of New England is stated by recent business circulars, still to be laboring under serious embarruss j meat, and notwithstanding the very sat isfacto - j ry dividends made for two years past by a large | proportion of tho cotton mills, there is a mark : ed want of confidence in these investments.— j There will, however, it is believed, be a reac ! tion. Rev. Mr. Schaffieiter, a Roman Catholic Driest, of the lledemptionist order, fell down within the rails of tho altar while singing the “ Magnificat ” in St. Mary’s church, Buffalo, during Vespers, on Sunday evening. He lived only about half an hour. The cause of his death was disease of the heart. Tho Saratoga season being about over, the Daily Saratogian has been discontinued. Tlie arrivals at the principal hotels during the sea son have been: Congress Hall 3,814 ; United States 3,008: Union Hall 8,735; Marvin House 1,505. Tho total number is set down at 25,1KK), Tiie ranks of the “ old guard” are rapidly being thinned, and another of those relics of i the past has answered tho call of the muster roll in Heaven. Nicholas Williamson, a pat* i riot of tho revolution, aged 94, died on the 18th inst., at Flagg Town, Somerset county, New Jersey. Tho Wilmington Herald understands that | the rice crops are quite flourishing, the indica tion being that full an average yield will be obtained this season. The work of harvesting has, in part, already commenced. ! , . The Wheeling (Va.) Argus says no attempt was made on Thursday week for the organiza tion ot a Black Republican meeting at the Me lodeon. Those whose inclination would make them traitors to Virginia, have doubtless con cluded ere this that “ discretion is the better i part cf valor.” GENERAL ITEMS. The joint library committee of Coi:g, have ordered from Dr. Stone a full sized stu j of Hancock to embelish the Capitol. The receipts of grain at Chicago f (JI . ~ month of August wfll amount, it m said t'”- i or 5,000,000 bushels. The report that the yellow fever had - I peared at Canton, Miss., is declared to be t i tally without foundation. Col. Michael Y'oung, an old, active r | leading citizen of Thomasville, Ga., died . the 24th instant of congestive fever. Tho city authorities of Richmond have sessed seven thousand dogs. It is estiiav'-i I that there are 12,000 in that city. ! Last Friday “Jessie Fremont” true. 1 against “James Buchanan ” over tlie (fj Courso Rochester for §IOO five miles in I ess.

There is a lady residing in St. Louis w|> ‘■ has presented her husband annually for 6evw 1 al years past, with three young sprigs of b u . j inanity at a birth. Strange to say, the li ~ j band still survives. An attempt was made on Sunday hist, sav the Cincinnati Enquirer, to fire the office't I that paper; but the flames were extinguish t before great damags was done. The editorial I room was fired iu four places. The Albany Argus states that from Album I west to Buffalo, in almost every village an’, | city, burglaries are being committed in a ion I of wholesale way. In many instances, chlor ’ I form is used by the operators. A letter from Bangor, Maine, under date. I the 20th ultimo, informs us that in the sbii I yards of Bangor, and immediately adjacent I there were sixty vessels of all sizes on the I stocks and ready for purchasers. Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm has lately paid mi it to Charles Sumner, and met there Mr. An son Burlingame. The interview between these three strong-minded women in pantaloons i> described as extremely interesting. It is stated that iron ore, very rare and of | immense value, has been discovered on Detj< ( River, Chatham county, N. C., and that ; ! large amount of foreign capital is about to I,J invdsted iu its development. Capital punishment, which was abolished in I Prussia in 1848, has been recently re-estab-1 Hslied. The mode of execution is to be the I axe, within prison walls, and in presence of a! certain number of magistrates and officials ex pressly appointed for the purpose. It is stated by persons from California, wl>,. have returned to Mississippi since the inau guration of the reign of tlie Vigilance Com mittee in San Francisco, that ex-Governor Foote, formerly of that State, is the chief di rector aud instigator of their movements. The three hundred laborers discharged ai the Harpers’ Ferry Armory are forming a com pany for Kansas, as we learn from the tele graphic correspondence of the New York He rald. Rough customers these will be for the Free State party. Before the time of Pope Innocent 111., (1118) there was no solemnization of marriage in the church, but the bridegroom came to the bride’s house, and led her home to bis own, which was all the ceremony then used. It is said there is not an ounce of that fa mous perfume, Otto of Roses, sold in our country. It is adulterated before it is sent from Egypt—the country which furnishes the almost entire supply. A man named John C. Treadwell, in Lowell, had his scull fractured a few days since by a blow from the fist of his son William. llarJ words and angry feelings were the cause of the rencontre. Young Treadwell has been arrest ed and held to bail in §5,000. The fire at Messrs. Broadwood’s piano forte factory iu tho Horseferry Road, London, on the evening of the 12th ult., destroyed proper ty to the amount of nearly §700,000. About a thousand piano fortes were destroyed. The! origin of the fire is unknown. The Houma Ceres says that since the recent storm, near New Orleans, a fatal malady La.- attacked the fish in Bayou Terebome. Thom ands upon thousands have been killed by it, and are now floating about or decomposing on the banks of the stream. The Boston Courier contains a card signed by the Hon. Edward Everett, Hon. Win. Ap pleton, Hon. R. C. Winthrop, and a large number of other Whigs of that city, expres ing themselves in favor of the election of Mr Fillmore to the Presidency. Mr. Leonard Neilson, of Maryland, who was on the Japan expedition, returned home re cently in the U. S. frigate Macedonia, bring ing with him two beautiful mouse deer, from the Island of Java. They are curiosities, as but few of them havo ever been imported into the United States. It is fortunate that the gentleman’s fash ions (io not keep pace with the ladies’. Or else, by this time, their hats would have dwin dled down to the size of a charity boy’s muf iincup, and their trowsers would have swollen out to about doublo Abe sizo of those of n Turk’s and Dutchman’s stitched together. ‘l’he Augusta Chronicle has been favored by a young lady with a dwarft peach, perfectly ripe, which is not huger than a moderate sized cherry.
