COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, Sept. IW, 1856. largest citv circulation. Fever in Charleston. The fatality from yellow fever in Charleston seems to be abating, as appears from the re ports of Monday and Tuesday, there being but one death for each day, — Valedictory. This art icle together with the leading one of to-day, are the last I shall ever write as “ on# of the editors of the Hun.” A more extended field of editorial labor being open to me, and my best interests prompting me to enter it, 1 have not felt at, liberty to hesitate in tlie mat ter, though I had become deeply interested in the “Daily Hun,” and can never labor any where with more zeal than 1 have for its suc cess. I am far from flattering myself that such success depends upon niy pen. Mr, DeWolf, who will hereafter devote more at tention to the Sun as its editor, is abundantly able to carry it to the meridian, if hacked, as no doubt lie will be, by the community. He lias already demonstrated that a Daily is pos sible in Columbus ; he deserves credit for his energy and perseverance, and specially for his devotion to the interests of this city. Know ing this community to be a generous and spir ited one, and fully believing that Columbus is only one-third the size she will be in 1876, i feel well assured that the Sun will goon, pros pering and to prosper. It has been truly said, though l forget who said it, that, there is always something mourn ful in what we do for the last time ; and I do confess 1 regret right heartily that 1 am about to pocket my scissors, wipe my pen, and take down my tent, preparatory to plying the one, and pitching the other in another city. Pew words, however, are always best at parting. I have said more than I started to say. Wish ing every reader of tlie Sun, health, happiness and prosperity, and craving their forgiveness for my many imperfections, I am, Respectfully and truly, THOMAS W. LANK. - ♦ Steamboat Building in Columbus. We paid a visit recently to the new steamer “ Wave,” now building by Mr. Harry T. Hall, (at the lower edge of the city,) and found there many tilings to surprise and gratify us; among them, the size o the boat, which will he the largest ever seeji on our river; the splendid and gigantic timbers, equal to, and pronounced by good judges superior to, any timber at Pittsburgh, t lie great steamboat manufacturer lor Western and Southern wa ters ; and lastly the inception of anew branch of enterprise which Mr. Hall desires to make a permanent one in our city, thus adding to our wealth, and specially to our indepen denc'.'. Pittsburgh is not less notorious as an abolition nest, than as a maker of steamers. Mr. Hall wishes to emancipate this section of the South and Southwest, from all indebted ness to her; to keep at homo the thousands we spend with her; and to give employment to our own mechanics. He believes that as good and cheap boats can be built here, as at Pittsburgh; and to demonstrate that fact is now building the Wave, which may he looked upon therefore, as an experiment on which the reputation of Columbus depends, and in whose issue all enterprising citizens must feel a deep interest. The Wave is of tlie following dimensions: Length of Keel 166 feet “ on Deck 178 “ Breadth of Floor “0 “ “ on deck “over a11”... 48 “ False Hide 7 “ Depth of Hold 5£ “ “Sheer” 3 “ Two Cylinders 19 inches in diameter and six feet stroke; 3 Boilers, 38 inches in diame ter; capacity, IHOO Cotton Bales and 50 Pas sengers. As to tiie timber and tho way it is put together, steamboat men and practical mechanics will have to speak; they pronounce both super-excellent and better than anything they have ever seen in Pittsburgh. The oak is irorn \\ hit May’s Mills, Ala.; I lie pine from Brooks’ Mill, Ga. The Castings and Iron Work, very fine, are from Brown’s Foundry in this city. Instead of the ordinary spikes used in fastenings, rivets and screw bolts are used throughout, thus securing the greatest possible strength and security. Forty three men are employed on the Wave, and the week ly pay roll is $472. Hhe is to be built “ out and out,” painting, decoration and all, in this city, tlie first attempt of the kind ever made here; is to be afloat by the fifteenth of Novem ber, and to be commanded by Capt. Lea, There, reader, are all the “dots,” and they foot up* hand* inely. Two reasons have heretofore prevented em barking in steamboat building at this point: Ist. The supposition that timber of good quality, and sufficient length could not be pro cured in this section. That this is all u mis take, any judge of timber w ill see, l*y a visit to tlie Wave. The oak is splendid—just us long as oak ever gets to be, and of most beau tiful texture—free from wind-shakes, and blemishes. We would say to tlie Pittsburgh folks that if they’ will only send for it we can let them have such timber as they seldom see. 2ndly. Tlie oilier difficulty lias been tho cost of getting first-rate workmen. This will be obviated so soon as boat-building becomes a permanent business hero. Men cannot al tord to take the same wnges for a few mouths work, which they could the year round. The principle is simply the well-known one, of “ wholesale” cheaper than “ retail.” Ho soon as the Wave gets afloat, it is the intention of Mr. Hall to commence anew and larger boat, with a view to selling to the Montgomery boatmen, and when they and others in this section are satisfied that they need no longer go to Pittsburgh, wo hope nnd believe they will come to Columbus. ” ishing Mr. Hall every success in this new and arduous enterprise, we close our article w ith a cordial invitation to those interested in Columbus progress to visit the Wave, and be surprised and gratified. For Hie boat itself, we have only to add, “Long may she Barf/” The New York Herald. This paper has for a long time been desig nated as the “Hatanic Press.” We believe tli at it was Creeley who so christened it, at a time when it professed to be the friendy of the constitutional rights of the South —before George Law and “Mariposa” enlisted it for Fremont and the “Nigger Worshippers.”— Having sold out to the Black Republicans, it now occupies among them the position of Lu cifer among the “fallen angels. There is no falsehood too great for its utterance—no in trigue too base for its concoction ami manage ment—no resort of the demagogue and trick ster too low for its reach and employment. It is at present engaged in the attempt to ral ly and concentrate the religious feeling of the North in behalf of Fremont and Dayton. Day after day its columns contain appeals to the religious sentiment of the country to arrest the extension of slavery and prevent the sub jugation of Kansas by the slave power! Ben nett preaching morality and Christianity! the Devil “quoting scripture to suit his purpose.” Should he succeed, honest men may well con sider the question whether religious bodies should not be legally restrained from ever en tertaining a political question, or their min isters from alluding, in their pulpits, to ques tions of national policy—just as the Govern ment is, by the constitution, prohibited from meddling with religious worship or religious freedom. The success of Fremont and aboli tion, by such means and agencies, would de monstrate the fact that the state has quite as much to fear from the encroachments of reli gious fanaticism as religion has to fear from governmental intermeddling, and the “ checks and balances” of the Constitution ought to be a barrier to both alike. In one of its appeals, the Herald says: “ Until the present election, no abstract question involving religious sentiment or touching doubtful matters, open to the inquiry whether they may or may not be religiously right or religiously wrong, lias ever been pat in issue. But now slavery lias been put in is sue, and is unmistakably the great and para mount issue of the day. The whole question, both in the abstract and in its practical action ami bearings, both as respects its policy as a matter of political economy, and as respects its abstract religious propriety—isnowat issue in this election. * * * Now, this is, in fact, a religions issue. It puts religious men upon the inquiry, not whether A B or C D is a fit person to be elected President of this Union, but whether slavery is in itself a good or an evil. In this manner it is that religion for the first time is rendered an absolute, element of our Presidential election.” In plain terms, according to tlie Herald’s logic, tlie church of this country is to be the regulator of the government and the action of the people in political matters. Because it fancies that an effort is making to extend sla very where it ought not to go, it overleaps all the safeguards of the constitution and urges the religious denominations of the country to combine and make a crusade against the whole system of slavery in the United States! This, it urges, is a “religious issue,” to be acted upon by church organizations; and the institutions of some of the States of the Union, guaranteed from Federal or Northern assault by the constitution, are to be passed upon in judgment by the religious sentiment of the country. Beecher only sent rifles to Kansas, and counselled murder in a single Territory ; hut Bennett extends and enlarges the juris diction of the churches so as to embrace the whole Union and its component Stntes. In stead of the Gospel of Christ preached to sin ful men, the Gospel of Black Republicanism is to be brought to bear upon nations, and re ligious bodies are to mould or overthrow their institutions! Christ taught that his Kingdom was not of this world, and that his followers, instead of becoming politicians, should cheer fully “render unto Ctesar the things which were Caesar’s ”; but in our days they are to take general charge of political as well as reli gious questions, and use the rifle or the Bible, the murderer or the missionary, as the occa sion may seem to require! Truly, “ fools rush in where angels fear to tread,” and fa naticism and political knavery combined would make a hell on earth to gratify the mad passions of the hour. The New Bridge. This Bridge, after much delay, lias been located and the work of construction com menced. Horace, who Ims great renown as a bridge builder, lias undertaken the job, with u determination, we understand, to have it ready for travel before Christ inns, it lias been located at the foot of Bridge street. Death of Mrs. Lipscomb. We learn from the Montgomery Advertiser, that tiiis estimable lady, wife of Rev. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, died at Tuskegee on Tuesday night. In noticing her death, the Advertiser says: “To lier afflicted consort, we tender our sincere condolence, and in this we but share the feelings of this entire community, of which ho and his lamented lady wore once the pride and ornament. May that Christian fortipude, and resignation to the will of Him in whose cause lie lias performed such eminent service, enable him to bear up* under this, his greatest affliction.” We learn from the Mobile Tribune, that tlie Hon. P erey Walker, Representative in Con gress. from the Mobile District, arrived home on the 15th instant, on the Quaker City from New York. He is going to take the stump in defence of his position, which lias been con demned by liis late K. N. associates. Percy is some before the people, nnd we must expect to hear considerable cracking among the Dry Bones in thut District, when Greek meets Greek. In our report of the market, this morning, says the Savannah News of Wednesday, we report 38 bales of cotton which was sold by Mr. Win. Duncan, for cents per lb. It classes as fair, nnd is ap>art of the crop grown this year on tho plantation of Gov. Hammond of Booth Carolina. The last number of the Atlanta Intelligen cer, contains a very neat salutatory from Mr. J. W. Duncan, who has purchased an interest in that paper, and become co-editor with W. 15. Buggies. Thomas N. Cox, Esq., still occupies the post of assistant editor. The Tory Fine . Seeing mention, says the Clinton Indepen dent, of the Charter Oak, a few days since, , brought to our mind the remembrance of the “ Tory Pine.” In the lower part of Sampson County, North Carolina, almost in sight of Treadwell’s Cross Hoads, stands a large pine, known as the “Tory Pine.” This notable tree stands in a swamp suri'ounded by a very dense undergrowth, and can only be seen by the ex ercise of some trouble and patience, ami the endurance of a few brier scratches. During the Revolutionary War there w’ere a few’ To ries in that region of country lying between Black River and Moore’s Creek. These Tories found themselves at one time in so critical a condition as to make concealment necessary, so they encamped in the swamp and built their fires by the side of this largo pine. There they concealed themselves for months, and lived by what game they could capture in the woods, and the assistance of their female rel atives, who met them at stated times. The “Tory Pine” is doublcss the monarch of many centuries, and still looks green and flourishing. It is 80 feet in circumference at the ground, ami 87 feet in circumference 3 feet above the ground. The scar made by tlie fire is 5 feet broad and 7 feet high, and this hollow has often served as a shelter for hunters and persons working in the adjacent woods Long may the old tree live, as a tes timony that the Tories of the Revolution found it more expedient to hide than to fight. Shooting Affair in Tarboro, N. C. On Wednesday morning, ihc 10th instant, says the Southerner, Mr. Andrew S. Ellison was seen walking up Main street in this place with a double barrelled gun on the side oppo site the Edgecombe House—when nearly in front of the main entrance, Mr. Epenetus Cromwell, the proprietor, advanced towards Mr. Ellison, and drew a pistol—when about twenty yards apart, both fired their weapons —Mr. C romwell drawing another pistol and discharging it. Mr. Ellison's gun was loaded witli bird shot—Mr. Cromwell’S with pistol ball. Both shots of Mr. Ellison took effect, severely if not mortally wounding Mr. Crom well—Mr. Ellison made no effort to escape, was arrested, and on Thursday examined be fore His Honor Judge Saunders, our Superior Court being in session, amt committed to ja ; ! to await the result of Mr. Cromwell’s wounds. A personal difficulty had some time previously existed between the parties. We have been a resident of Tarboro upwards of thirty years, says the Southerner, and this is the first shoot ing case that lias occurred in our streets dur ing that time. Additional by the Arabia. The British Royal Mail Steamship Arabia, which arrived at Halifax on the 13tli inst. left Liverpool on the 4th at 11.80 a. m., and made the run in a little over 8 and a half days, not withstanding a detention of several hours off the l’ort by fog. England. The London Star says : It need not any longer be concealed that the governments of France and England, that is to say, Louis Napoleon and Lord Palmerston, are not on good terms with respect to Spanish affairs; and communications are understood to have passed between them of anything but a complimentary character. We may as well state that an opinion has found its way to the other side of the Atlantic that England is ready to make every concession in order to obtain the friendship of the United States, and that this determination has been come to in the event of a possible rupture with France. The improved tone of the London journals is interpreted in this sense, and the New York Herald makes much of the topic. We have hitherto hesitated to say so because these are matters of great importance, and should not be paraded merely for the sake of raising pub lic excitement, but as the Paris correspon dents of our own press now begin to talk so much about the matter, reserve must be put aside and the public should be instructed that while there may in reality bo no danger, it is always a serious thing to have our foreign poli cy under the direction of a premier like Pal merston. The Star further says : “ A contemporary announces that the Cen tral American difficulties is solved satisfacto rily by’ a convention between Honduras and Great Britain. Good news may bear repeti tion, but then it ought to be news. The satis factory settlement alluded to, of this threat ening question, was announced five weeks since.” The health of the Emperor of the French un dergoes much discussion. That the Emperor has some malady of a dangerous character may be inferred, hut its exact nature is con cealed from the public. Hpain. Tlie Spanish Government lias not yet. pub lished its decree dissolving the Cortes and fix ing anew election. An exposition of its poli cy is to be looked for. Therein still remains a subject of discussion. At the latest dates Lisbon was tranquil, but circumstances had occurred to show that (lie late riot was essentially political in its sources. Italy. In Italy discontent is spreading. Alarm is manifested in Naples in consequence of the now ascertained movement of the Moralist party. This party has been circulating a programme or proclamation at Naples with secrecy and ac tivity. The JL.-tcst- London. Wednesday Night —The campaign projected by the Russians against the Circas sians is indefinitely adjourned. The Times is officially authorized to declare that a report to the effect that the Portuguese government had applied to the British for a squadron on the occasion of the recent riots at Lisbon, is destitute of foundation. Lisbon exchange is at fifty-three and three quarters. The Persian Ambassador is to proceed to London to terminate the Anglo Persian dis pute. offering full satisfaction to England, on condition that Mr. Murray be recalled. The Times has another leader on Mr. Mur ry's proposal respecting merchant ships in time of war. Tho Post estimates the cost of the war with Russia at eighty millions of pounds, and re commends that an annual sum ho applied to converting personal annuities into terminable ones. “Go to thunder!’’ is now rendered thus: “Tnk™ your departure to the abode of the re verbei at ng echoes of heaven’s artillery !” J Northern Sentiment. York Sun of the 12th instant, in an editorial leader on “The Dissolution Cry, remarks: “No President dare openly to violate the constitution and make war upon the rights of any section of tlie Union. The people in their aggregate power and intelligence, are strong er‘than a President or a party, and those who love the Union and are determined to main tain it, outnumber any party which has ever been organized. There is, tlierofore, no mor al force in tlie cry that tlie Union is in danger. The people, conscious of their own unswerv ing loyality, do not, and cannot realize any danger, and they despise the cry. li is a weak device in political strategy, and only injures those who resort to it. Threats and intimida tion succeed only with timid men, and timidi ty is no! a prevailing trait in tlie American character. The New York Times of the same date, says : “ The great mass of the people of tha Uni ted States are loyal to the Constitution, — ready to obey all its requirements, and deter mined never to allow ambitious and unprinci pled conspirator# to usurp its powers and trample on its forms. Aaron Burr tried that game,—with infinitely greater popularity to start with than either- of his imitators; —but he did not succeed. John C. Calhoun came verj’ near running his neck into a noose, through hi? political ambition. If Henry A. Wise and Jefferson Davis are desirous of imi tating these illustrious examples, they would do well to consider the chances of success. The first step towards carrying out the programme thus laid down, would plunge all the actors in it into a depth of infamy from which their names could not be dragged in a thousand years.” The Evening Post, also ridicules the South and warns her sons against an attempt at se cession : “We are familiar with threats from the South. They were made when the Fugitive Slave law’ was forced through Congress. They were made when the election of a Speaker was pending at the last session of Congress. If we had believed the rumors from the South, and tlie magnificient menaces which came on every wind that blew northward over the Po tomac, w'c should have been confident that the first thing done after Bank’s election would be the retirement of tlie Southern members in a body from the Halls of Congress, and the pro mulgation of another Declaration of Indepen dence. The threats were disregarded, Banks was elected, the South, in the person of Mr. Aiken, his southern competitor, rose up to do him honor and conduct him to liis official seat, and we heard no more of a dissolution of the Union. Let Fremont be elected, and the cry of disunion will be hushed as suddenly as it then was.” The Baltimore Patriot even, a journal which we have always regarded one of the best, truest and most ably conducted papers in Ma ryland, assumes the traitor’s sentiment and Language, and mocks its brethren of the South. The viper’s fang is full of poison. Read and learn its position. “But is the Enquirer, while hurling its de nunciations against all who differ from it in opinion, quite certain that it speaks the senti ment of Virginia ? There is a hardy, trans montane population within the limits of that State which, notwithstanding the fierce pug nacity displayed by our contemporary, can never be roused to join in its rebellious cry. Still less could it be brought to carry out in practice, the treason which the Enquirer preaches. If any secession at all takes place, i it will be the secession of Western Virginia from the seaboard counties —but not from the Union. “ Carolina fire-eaters have pointed out, in magniloquent sentences, the admirable capa bilities of the South for carrying on a defen sive war. They have shown how batteries, placed in this pass, and rifles bristling on that hillside, could w'ork destruction on an advanc ing foe. Col. Brooks has, moreover, advised, in the event of Fremont’s election, that a gal lant army of Southerners, equipped with bowie-knife and revolver, shall march in grim procession to Washington, and seize upon the Government archives and treasury. Our im pulsive neighbor of the Enquirer straightway blows a bugle blast, and raises the war cry of the old Convenanters, “To your tents, 0 Is rael ! ” But neither the defensive capacity of of the Southern States, nor the tempting sug gestion of Col. Brooks, nor “ the windy sus pirations of forced breath,” of the Richmond Enquirer, can stimulate a patriotic people, proud of their national renown, glorying in their national prosperity, reverencing their national destiny, and sensible of the power which that nationality ensures, to sally forth on so Quixotic an expedition, or even to at tempt to crush out the memory of the past, and the hope of the future, by the act which would entail upon their posterity a bitterer destiny than that which befell the children of Adam under the weight of the primeval curse.” To our own supineness and want of decis ion are we indebted to the present state of af fairs. Had the people of the South acted in stead of Resolved in 1851, they would not notv be taunted with cowardice and imbecility. With an army of enemies on our borders and traitors in the camp, it becomes the people of the South to be circumspect, vigilant and determined. Cautiousness, when carried to an extreme, as has been demonstrated, begets cowavtlice. It is time that the people of the South ought to be vigilant and prompt in marshaling for the defence of their rights, their families and their fire-side altars.—Co lumbia Times. “ Lafayette told a camp anecdote of tlie revolution one morning at President Monroe’s breakfast table, of such gout,” writes Wirt to his friend Morris, “ that I think Pope ought to have it in his budget. Hay asked him if Lord Sterling was renlly a nobleman by birth, or only a lord by courtesy. The Marquis said he did not know how that was, but that there never was a lord that was prouder of his title, that no one could say “lord ” or “ lordship ” in his hearing, but that he thought he was the person spoken of. In proof of which he sta ted that one of Sterling’s soldiers was sen tenced to be shot for some offence, and as the poor devil was going to the place of execution, with his finds manacled behind him, lie rais ed his eyes to heaven, and in the agony of his despair exclaimed, “Lord ’nave mercy on me ! ” Says Sterling with all the importance of Jupiter, with both cheeks puffed up with ! rage, “I'll be damned if I do,” imagining he alone could be the object of the ejaculation. It was exceedingly well-told and produced a high effect.— Mobile Tribune. Maine.

Tlie Fremont Electoral Ticket in Virgin, of which we hear so much in the Nortlien papers, was proposed and nominated bv Fillmore organ in this city—whether iii spirit of fun, or with a serious purpose aiding the Black Republican party, is met than we will undertake to determine. Tit National American was certainly the firstu suggest a Fremont Ticket for this State, at; to publish a list of Electors for the Black ll publican politicians, who being extreme! anxious to divest Fremont of his exclusive! sectional character, were only too glad of tin opportunity to deceive the people of the Non! with the idea that he is seriously supported it Virginia. So tlie American’s “ Electoral Tick et for Fremont in Virginia” was paraded will exultation in the Black Republican paper.. But tlie thing did not end here. The Fillmoi; people in t!:is State, by whom the Fremont ticket ivas originally nominated ostensibly a; a joke, accept the fiction on the authority( the Black Republican papers, and re-publisb it as a grave reality ! The invention travels North, is endorsed by the Fremont press, i : sent back, and again issued here as genuine currency! Now, this may be intended as t capital jest, but it lias a very ugly look. .1 man was indicted of forgery for “play fully plagiarizing ” another person’s signa ture. There is no Fremont ticket in this Stale, and there W'ill be none. The gentlemen of whose names such unwarrantable use is made, will no doubt indemnify themselves for the in jury.
