COLUMBUS: Wednesday Morning, Oct. 1, IHSB. l.miiKST CITY CIRC CITATION. Fair Play. We inform the Barbour Correspondent “Fair Piny,” in the last Enquirer, that the item re specting the Town of Chester, l’a., has not yet faced us. We think Fair Play must be in a hopeless minority in his vicinity, taking as ev idence the effect the innocent relation of the political complexion of the Itidgway family, •eems to have had upon his mind. Is it a fact about Chester ? Wo are much gratified to find the Sun has acquired sufficient importance to elicit an oc casional notice from the Enquirer and its cor respondents. Fremont Ticket in Maryland. The Baltimore papers state upon what they term sources entitled to credit, that the fol lowing named gentlemen have been selected as the Republican Electoral Ticket for Mary land. For the State at Large—Francis I’. Blair, Wm. Pinkner Ewing. For the Congressional Districts—lst, Janies Bryan; 2nd, John Lincoln; 3d, G. W. Martc nct; 41 li, Francis G. Cockrnn; sth, David Gamble; Oth, Joshua Switzer. The Central Texan states that in conse quence of the shortness of the cotton crop in that section, the planters are sending their hands to the Houston Rail lload for the pur pose of finding employment. The Waco Statesman says the cotton in that vicinity is good and a fair yield is anticipated. The Newnan Blade says when a man be comes a candidate for tlie Presidency or the Penitentiary, his character is public property, and editors have a rigid to investigate nocor ingly. Can’t Work for Ten Cents & Day. We see from the papers that some of the Fillmore people are carrying about at their public meetings banners with the aforesaid words inscribed upon them. We advise them to take that banner down ; they are working for a good deal less llinn that.— Corner Slone. The General is mistaken. In every county there is a smart sprinkling of Court House spoils which generally fall to the local victors; and for which politicians take the chances. The Newnan Blade says a Fillmore friend requests us to state that there is a perfect stampede among the Democrats in Paulding county. He says they ure going over to Fill more by t lie dozen. We comply with his re quest, but it is just possible he struck a strong Fillmore section of the county. Wonder if the Enquirer’s “ Fair Play” had heard of this spot before he addressed the Sun. Prolific Cotton. The Selma (Ala.) Sentinel thus describes a ■talk of a variety lately exhibited: “ This stalk contained over one hundred full grown bolls, and quite a number of squares and small bolls, and judging from its appear ance, it would have yielded at least two pounds of the best quality of seed cotton. It was what is termed the ‘Boyd Cotton,’ ami was grown on the plantation of Mr. Dillard, near this city. We should think cotton planters would find it quite profitable to plant this kiml of cotton altogether. Mr. Dillard in formed us lie had übout eighty acres planted of this cotton, and that almost every stalk in the field would yield equal to the one shown us. Wc should think Mr. Dillard would do a great favor to the cotton planters generally, by saving his seed and placing a few of them in market this winter.” Properties of Cutta Perch*. In some experiments made recently at tho United States Naval Laboratory, upon gutta percha vestments, very interesting and valua ble facts were adduced in regard to the char acteristics of that material. For instance, pea-jackets, made of gutta percha fabric, were baled in tho same manner as the cloth cloth ing for the navy, under a pressure of thirty tons. They were then placed over a steam boiler in tho yard, and remained for sixteen days, subject to an average temperature of 190°, at times as high as 212°. On examina tion, the garments were found in tho same state ns when packed. There was no adhesion of the folds, nor any decomposition of the guttapercha. One jacket was dipped in wa ter, rolled up, and sewed in the corners, but not pressed, and subjected to the same heat for three consecutive days; on being examin ed, it was found in a state wholly free from injury.— Chas. Courier. Whore the “Aid” has Gone. At a big Kansas meeting in Albany, a short time since, several thousand dollars were sub scribed for the “relief” of the starving peo ple of Kansas. Gerritt Smith gave $3,000; Edward C. Delevan gavo $1,900; and others gave smaller sums. The money has been ac counted for by tho committee appointed to disburse as follows: The printers, (N. V. Tribune, Times, &c.,) got $315. Raid clerk hire. $lB6. For an agent $232; total com mittee account, $683. l’aid for relief of R. Buffiun and family in Kansas $25; to com mittees for “relief” purposes, $100; total for relief, $450. Paid for Sharpe's rifles, $643; for passage of armed emigrants, $677 ; to Chicago committee for civil war SI4OO. Loaned to Gen. Schuyler $250; to 0. Robin son, “governor,” $500; making a total of three thousand, five hundred and ten dollars, devoted to civil war ; while only four hundred and twenty-five dollars wore devoted to relief! The widows aud orphans of Kansas, says the Albany Argus, called for bread and they gave them bullets! The Mobile Affair. Tho New York News says that Mr. Strick land, ofthe firm ofStrickiand & Upson, book sellers at Mobile, who was expelled from there for keeping and selling incendiary publica tions, acknowledges now that their conduct was at least exceedingly indiscreet. Strick land admits that he gave away not less than fifty copies of Uncle Tom's Cabin ; sold mis chievous works of Fred. Douglass, and kept others on hand ol'a similar inciting charac ter, and often sold novels calculated to offend • sensitive population. From their own state ment of efforts made calculated to incite the •lave population to insurrection, they deserve all they received. The Philadelphia Argus says that the lion. Lewis C. Levin, former representative in Con press from tho First District, was taken to the insane asylum on the morning of tho 26th Sep tember. r The Cotton Trade. LiveufooC, Aug. 26.—The cotton trade, its condition at, the present moment, and its fu ture prospects, call for the serious attention, not only of those engaged in tho trade, but every individual interested in the properity of this country. We say so advisedly, for all will admit the magnitude of the trade itself, and the wide-spread influence that it exercises not only at home, but in our commercial re lations with the whole world. The increase in it has been so rapid that it is within tlie recol lection of many when the annual consumption of the raw material was a mere trifle, nay, if we will only look back to the year 1841, we find the consumption to have been only about one-half of what if is now. We may, there fore, be excused if we place before our read ers a few statistics of the present stock and probable supply to meet the growing con sumption. All we desire is to render a plain indisputable statement, so that all may know as clear as figures can show, what are the prospects of the trade. Statistics are sought after eagerly—sought after, and strange to say, ridiculed—and stranger still, followed in spite of the ridicule—laughed at in public, yet in private checked over most carefully, and secretly acted upon, sneered at for the pure love of contradiction, yet quietly guided and influenced by the solid truth that there is no better guide at band. In the first place we find by the general brokers’ Price Current of 22d August, the stock in Liverpool was 735,700 bales; but it is generally admitted that at least 40,000 bales have been forwarded from the quay direct into the country, and not included in the brokers’ returns made weekly, we shall therefore de duct this amount, and of course add it to our estimate of consumption. For the import to the close of the year we shall estimate the quantity at sea, 40,000 bales ; to ship by Ist September of old crop, 30,000 bales ; and of the new crop to arrive prior to 31st of Decem ber, 180,000 bales ; making a total of 250,000 bales of American to receive to 31st Decem ber. And for other descriptions we shall take it at tlie same as last year, which will approximate near enough for our purpose.— Say : Total stock 22d August 735,700 Import, American 25<),000 “ other kinds 231,000 Total 1,217,000 As to consumption and export we find that adding, as we before stated, 40,000 bales to the brokers’estimate, tlie total outgoings for the first thirty-four weeks of the year reach 1,668,500 bales, and in tlie same pro portion for the remaining eighteen weeks of the year will take 830,380 bales, reducing the stock on the 81st December, 1856, to 886,620 bales, against 428,810 bales on the 31st De cember, 1855. Now, the question arises, are we correct in surmising that the trade will require for the rest of the year in proportion with the past. We believe that we are rather below than above the mark, for new machinery is being weekly set in motion, and the trade in Man chester is so profitable at the present time, there can be little doubt the consumption now going forward is as great as at any time in the history of the trade. To justify us also in this estimate, wo may state, what is admitted on all hands, that spinners hold very small stocks at the mills, and that, therefore, their supplies must be drawn from this market.— We have thus far confined ourattention to the supply aud demand for this year out—we will now look forward to theyear 1857 ; and, first, let us ask as to the probability of tlie amount required for our consumption. We have peace with all the world ; we have the world as our customers; and if wc are favored with a fa vorable gathering in our harvest, we shall have n well-fed, busy population at home to clothe. The number of new mills now building is, perhaps, larger than ever known—so much so, that there is an estimate very generally made that t hose new mills will require as much as 4,000 bales of cotton per week. This, added to our present large consump tion, will swell tlie requirements of the trade of this country to at least 45,000 bales per week. Surely we may ask, where is the sup ply to come from? Can we expect another crop in the United States of 3,500,000? We shall require 3,700,000, and even that will leave us with a smaller stock at tlie end of 1857 than at the close of this year. We may turn to India, and ask for a supply from t hence. Brazil is giving us less rather than an increase. Egypt may furnish us with a few hags more, but it is to the United States alone that we can look for any hope of supply.— Truly, consumption has outstripped produc tion, and machinery is constructed faster than the raw material can be produced to keep it in motion. No wonder the trade are so anx ious to hear of favorable reports of the cotton crop, for they well know the effect of bad weather, insects, bad picking season, or an early frost, all of which the crop is endanger ed by. The trade require an enormous quan tity to keep prices moderate, and it remains to be seen whether their requirements will be supplied. We have seen that the large crop of this year has failed to maintain the staple on a par with last year. What will be the result of any accident to the growing crop? Franklin’s Son. Tho inauguration of the Franklin statue, at Boston, has been the occasion, says the Phila delphia Ledger, lor reviving incidents con nected with life of the philosopher. His on ly son, William, was Governor of New Jersey at the time ofthe declaration of independ ence, aud did what he could to prevent the le gislative Assembly of New Jersey from sanc tioning the proceedings of the General Con gress of Philadelphia, These efforts, how ever, did but little to stay the tide of popular sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny, and soon involved him in difficulty, lie was deposed from office by the whigs to give place to William Livingston, aud sent a prisoner to Connecticut, where he remained about two years in East Windsor, in the house of Cap tain Ebenezer Grant, near where tlie Theolo gical Seminary now stands. In 1778 he was exchanged, and soon after went to England. There he spent the remainder of his life, re ceiving a pension from the British Govern ment for the losses he had sustained by his fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age of 82. The opposition of the son to tlie cause the fa ther espoused, produced an estrangement be tween them, and in Franklin's will, speaking of It is son, he says: “The part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety, will account for my leaving him no more of an estate he endeavored to deprive me of.” “ Your profess to feel great confidence iu the election of your candidate,” said a Buch aneer to a Fremonter, in Wisconsin lately, “ but you dare not bet on it.” “Yes, I am ready to bet,” replied the other. “Well, then name your bet,” returned the former. ‘I will bet you five hundred dollars that, if Fremont shall be elected, Kansas will be a Free State, and five hundred more, that if Buchanan shall succeed, it will be a “slave state,” rejoined the Fremonter. The Buchaneer declined both bets, and disappeared. Truly a Hard Case. Obe Stephens, formerly the eccentric rep resentative in the Assembly from Steuben, who now keeps a hotel in Hornersville, tells a very good story at the expense of our Fre mont friends. Not long since a very good looking young woman stopped at Obe s house and called fora room saying that her husband would call shortly, when she wished him to be shown up. Soon after, a burly, dandified “colored pussun” called and inquired for his wife. Obe told him she could not have stop ped there, ns there was only one female guest in tlie house, and she was a very tine looking white lady. “ Dat’s her—dat’s her,” said tlie sable dan dy. Obe thought there must be some mistake, so he went to the lady’s room and informed her that a “cussed nigger” was down below who claimed to be her husband. She quietly informed him that the “ coloredgemm n was in reality her husband, and that she wished him sent up to her room. “ The d—1!” exclaimed Obe, with aston ishment; is it possible that as good looking a woman as you would marry a nigger ?” She assured him it was a fact, and added : “ I married much better than my sister did after all!” “You did!” responded Obe ; “ who in thun der did she marry ?” “ Why,” replied the lady, with great dis gust, “she is married to a Fremont man ?” The ex-representative acknowledged the corn, and extended to the “mixed pair” the best the house could afford. — Elmira (X. Y.) Gazelle. The Marriage Relation. The great secret is to learn to bear with each other’s failings ; not to lie blind to them —that is either an impossibility or a folly; we must see and feel them; if we do neither, they are not evils to us, and there is obvious ly no need of forbearance; hut to throw the mantle of affection around them, concealing them from each other’s eyes; to determine not to let them chill the affections ; to resolve to cultivate good-tempered forbearance, be cause it is the only way of mitigating the pre sent evil, always witli a view to ultimate amendment. Surely it is not the perfection, but the imperfection, of human character that makes the strongest claim in love. All the world must approve, even enemies must ad mire, the good and the estimable in human nature. If husband and wife estimate only that in each which all must be constrained to value, what do they more than others? It is infirmities of character, imperfections of na ture, that call for the pitying sympathy, tlie tender compassion that makes each the com forter, the monitor of tiie other. Forbearance helps to attain command over themselves.— Few are the creatures so utterly evil as to abuse a generous confidence, a calm forbear ance. Married persons should be pre-emi nently friends, and fidelity is the great privi lege of friendship. The forbearance here con tended for is not a weak and wicked indul gence of each other’s faults, but such a calm, tender observance of them as excludes all harshness and anger, and takes the best and gentlest methods of pointing them out in the full confidence of affection.— W/neper lo a Bride. A Majority on the Wrong Side. Several years ago a celebrated Methodist minister and revivalist well known for his el oquence and zeal in converting souls, was preaching in Louisville. The feeling had got pretty well up, and one night, after a very “powerful” sermon, ho came down from the pulpit, for the purpose of receiving the mourn ers, while the good old by nil of “Canaan, oh! Canaan, I'm bouml for tho land of Ca naan! ” was struck up and chimed in by hundreds of voices. Tlie hymn was concluded, but there were no penitents at the altar. In vain he exhorted—his words and appeals fell upon the ears of his congregation without exciting an emotion. At length he concluded to make a bold strike and followed it up with a test, and resuming the pulpit, after a few words of exhortation, he solemnly’ announced that he would put a question, upon which he expected all to vote in wiew of the estimation they placed upon their souls. With finger raised most significantly, and in a most solemn man ner, he announced : “All those in favor of Christ will please rise to their feet.” Otdy some eight or ten responded to the an nouncement; and while the minister was watching intently for others to signify their position by “rising,” a worthy member, \\ lio was on his feet, interfered, and suggested that “ the reason might be that the true dis ciples were too modest to vote.” At this juncture, a loud voice was heard in the gallery : “I say, brother , it's no use a talking or trying to force this vote—this congregation is for old Nick by at least twenty-five hundred majority! ” The Compensation Bill. There will be a mighty economical spirit abroad when the present outs come to try and get iu the places of the congressmen who voted for the compensation of $6,000 per an num. Hon. Dan Mace, of Indiana, “faces tlie music” as follows : I voted for it, and would do so again, for the reason, first: I believe it right. Second: I wanted the money, and have richly earned every dollar of it, in my opinion. I hope my vote may be satisfactory to my constituents: if not, it is only a difference of opinion be tween me and them, which ! can endure under tlie circumstances. Tho Bay Islands Ceased to Bxist. A correspondent of the New York Herald at Belize announces the fact that the British colony of the Bay Islands had virtually ceased to exist, and that the Mosquito King had been informed by the officer of ller Britannic Majes ty’s ship Cossack of the termination of the English protectorate, and consequently ttie end of his rule. The writer does not state what effect the news had on His Majesty. The Islands would be transferred to the re public of Honduras. A Fremont Joke. “Fremont ran off with a respectable man’s daughter—lie is a thief!” Spunky Republi can in reply—“He had better strain wife than live a bachelor.” Slave Democrat in re joinder—"lf you mean to insinuate that Bu chanan ain't married, I can tell you that ho married his ‘country over forty years ago, and has taken good care of her ever since.’ “ Republican, in magnificent sub-rejoinder— “ Fremont did run off’ with Tom Benton’s daughter, and next November he will run off with Jim Buchanan's wife, as old as she is!” —Albany Ev. Jour. At the close of Hon. Howell Robb's speech nt the Democratic meeting iu Bedford, l’a., on Monday evening, he was presented with a magnificent wreath of flowers by the ladies of Twenty-third Mard, of whom over 300 were in attendance. Col. T. W. Duffield tendered the compliment to the ex-Governor, of Geor gia, on XUalf of the ladies, and the recipient made a brief reply. T K LEG RAP MIC. FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

New York, Sept. 28.—Two parties con nected with the great swindle of the Northern Rail Way, in France, were arrested here yes terday, and 70,000 francs recovered. The Cincinnati Gazette informs us that the fire department of that city has now under consideration anew kind of hose, made at Grenoble, in France, out of hemp woven so thickly and tightly as to prevent all escape of water through the interstices between the threads. This hemp hose will, it is said, bear a pressure of 104 lbs to the square inch, and be far less likely’ to break than rivited leather hose. It is so light that a man can easily carry two sections up a ladder, which is double as much as can be carried of the hose now in use, and a hose reel will carry four times as much as ofthe leather hose, yet be cumbered with only two thirds as much weight. The cost of this new hose is represented to be one half that of the leather hose. Horrible Murder. We learn from a letter received at this place on Thursday last, that Mr. Jesse Walker, of this District, was killed, by a mulatto boy, on Monday last. The boy was the propeity of Wm. Craig, Esq., and has made his escape. The friends of Walker are in pursuit of him, aud have offered a reward of One Hundred Dol lars for his apprehension. He is described as being 16 or 18 years of age, thin visage, and has the appearance of being in delicate health. The murder was committed on the waters of Holly Creek, nine miles South East of Aiken. —Barnesrille (S. C.) Sentinel. Tho Way They Fixed It. It so happened that Monday, last election day, was included in a camp-meeting, held in Burnet county. How to fix it they did not know, as many did not want to leave the camp ground. By consent, however, the polls were removed to the camp ground, and the voters marched from the stand after 8 o’clock service, to the polls, singing “ Come thou fount of every blessing,” &c., and deposited their votes, and returned in due time to attend 11 o'clock preaching. —Houston (Texas) Telegraph, The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer says the accession of Gen. Wm. T. Haskell to the sup port of Fillmore will increase the majority of Fillmore and Donelson in Tennessee at least o.UOl) votes. 11 is ability on the stump, in the forum, and everywhere great talking is to be done, is known throughout the Union, and we should not be surprised, if with his pow erful help, Tennessee goes for “ Fillmore and tlie Union” by over 19.900 majority. Mrs. Whitcomb, a widow lady, resident of Salem, Ohio, recently cowhided a Miss Neil, spinster, “for words spoken in debate” on the subject of the virtues and vices of said Whitcomb and some coxcomb. The lady an nounces her intention of cowhiding several gentleman who are obnoxious to her. We have it on the infallible authority of Jenkins, that it is not correct to say “the height of tlie fashion.” When ladies wish to convey the idea that any one of their acquaintance is at all bien miss, they affirm that “she was dressed in the full breadth of the fashion.” The Warrenton Fauquier (Va.) Flag notices a decline in the price of negroes, and says that several sold to the highest bidder on Monday, at prices ranging several hundred dollars below stuns paid for the same descrip tion of servants a few weeks ago.

An old lady being late at church, entered as tlie congregation were rising from prayer. “La!” said she, curtseying, “don’t get up on my account.” A Western editor speaking of a concert sin,,, er, says her voice is delicious—pure as ihe moonlight, and as tender as a three shilling shirt. The Boston Courier (Fillmore paper) urges a cordial reception of the President, without regard to party, should he pass through that city. A Republican State Convention was held at Wheeling, Va., on the 18tli instant, and nom inated a Fremont, electoral ticket. There was no disturbance as anticipated. The steam ship Arabia sailed from Boston on Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock, with i 1 passengers for Liverpool, and 15 for Halifax. She takes out $776,900 in specie. The petition for an extra session of tin Massachusetts Legislature which had received one thousand signatures, has been withdraw in view of the pacific aspect, of affairs in Kan sas. Mr. Hannibal Hainlin, Governor elect of Maine, ex-Governor Morrill, and James G. Blane, of the Kennebec Journal, are about to proceed to Pennsylvania, to take the stump for Fremont. The Salem (Mass.) Gazette says that pota to rot prevails extensively in some parts of Essex county. In Roxford, it is doing much damage, and about. Newberry, it, is still more destructive. N. P. Banks, Speaker of the National House of Representatives, lias been re-nominated for Congress in the Seventh Congressional District by acclamation. Senator Hamilton Fish, one of’ the “Fill more Whigs ” of New York, has gone over to the Black Republicans. The New York Cou rier and Enquirer publishes a long letter giv ing his reasons. The State Convention of the colored voters of New York, held at Williamsburg a few days ago, resolved to support Fremont and Dayton. Rev. Henry 11. Gaunt, said to be a pure blood ed African, addressed the Convention. It is expected that the Hon. George Rul er oft will preside at the public dinner to lie given to Mr. Peabody by the Merchants and literary men of New York, and Mr. Everett will preside at the dinner given to him at the Revere I louse,gin Boston. The New York papers state on the authori ty of the resident physician of the city, that within the last three or four days, four deaths from the yellow fever have occurred in one house in James street, in that city, near the East River. The Lancaster (Pa.) Examiner says that in parts of Lancaster and the adjoining counties, the buckwheat crop was never more promis ing; the cool, moist weather and the absence of frost, the very weather to be desired, gives hopes of an unusually large crop.

The Courier and Enquirer, of Friday, says: “The new steamer Everglade will be launched on Saturday morning, at 8 o’clock, from the yard of Mr. Whitlock, Greenpoint. The E. is about four hundred tons hurt lien, and is to run on the inside route from Charleston to ot. Augustine. Her fastening is exclusively o! copper and galvanized iron.” A London editor says: “ Experience shows that whether we have a good or bad harvest, we must have large supplies from abroad to insure moderate prices at home.” The Brit ish consumer is now ns much interested in the state of the crops on the banks of the Danube or on those of the Mississippi, as he is in those of his native country. There is a glut of timber in the water re gion of Minnesota territory. J. G. Lennon. Esq., informs the St. Anthony Express that the price of logs above tho Falls of St. Antho ny is sl4 per thousand, and the owners of the mills below will not pay any money on the logs under six mouths.
