COLUMBUS:
Wednesday Morning, Oct. 15, 183 ft.
LARGEST CITV CIROVLATIOK.
We really l'eel some alarm for the safety of
a writer in the Enquirer, who signs himself
“Mechanic.” The idoathat after the election
of Buchanan, wages will come down to ten
cents a day, seems to have become well rooted
in lyis system. We will suggest to him that it
is only those who vote against Buck that will
be found in the category of wliioh he Speaks.
The wages of those who vote for Buck are to
be raised ten cents a day. That is what is
meant by “ten cents a day,” of which he has
heard so much prating. (Jet on the right side
of ten cents and we guarantee your safety.
Bella Union Restaurant.
This popular house re-opens this morning
for the season. The propietors state their
determination that nothing shall be wanting
in the wuy of ample supplies of every deli
cacy that may tempt the appetite, served up
in the most recherche style. For a luxurious
supper, or an hour of quiet amusement, we
know of no place of popular resort more
highly to be recommended than “La Bkela
Union.”
Emma Watts Itaisod.
The steamer Emma Watts, recently sunk on
the Alabama river, has been raised by Mr.
Peter Mercer, and was carried to the city of
Mobile, last Friday.
The Mobile and Ohio liond is doinga crack
ing business, it only extends to the cotton
region of Noxubee county, Mississippi, and
is now carrying into Mobile over a 1000 bales
of cotton a day.
iiavannuh Election.
. It is reported that the Democrats elected
their ticket in Savannah on Monday by about
two hundred majority.
— +
The receipts of cotton in New Orleans last
Thursday, were very large, amounting to
Hi,401 bales. The receipts <>f the season are
t 53,725 bales, and the stock ou hand at saine
date, 107,012 bales.
The editor of the New Orleans Bulletin says
he has seen a letter from San Francisco, writ
ten by one of the most distinguished citizens
of that place, and at one time a prominent
citizen of New Orleans, addressed to a friend
in that city, in which ho pays , ‘Fillmore will
get more votes in California than Buchanan
and Fremont combined.”
Gin House and Cotton Burnt.
Wo learn from the Montgomery Journal
that on Saturday night last, the Gin House on
the plantation of Dr. It. C. Jones, near that
place, was burnt. Four negroes were burnt
to death and three others so badly injured
that there is scarcely a probability that one
of them will recover. We further learn that
thirty bales of cotton were also consumed.
The loss will probably reach $15,000 to $lB.-
000.
The origin of this dreadful calamity was,
wo learn, thus: A girl was standing in the
door of the lintroom with a candle, while tin
other negroes were at work inside. The door,
swinging against the girl, knocked the caudle
out of her hand, and, the lint immediately
igniting, the room was instantly tilled with
tiame.
This should be a warning to planters and
oversoers. If fire light must bo used in gin
houses, it should bo encased in thick glass
and properly protected by stout iron wire—
such as aroused on decks of steamboats.
Sale of Indian Reserved Lands in Kansas.
The sale of the reserved lands held in trust
by the United States for the benefit of the
Delaware Indians, which was advertised by
the proclamation of the President, to take
place on the 20tli of this month, lias been
postponed till Monday tho 17th of November,
when it is announced it will begin, ami ‘‘will
proceed in order, with all convenient dispatch,
until the whole shall have been offered and
the sales thus closed.”
These lands are said to be exceedingly eli
gible. They lie on the Missouri river, and
will double in value every year for a long pe
riod. This sale will probably be the lasi great
public sale of good lands by the l'. H. govern
ment, ns it is believed that there is no large
tract of value west of 100 degrees longitude.
The terms of the sale arc cash : and all lands
which are not paid for on the day of sale,
will bo offered again ou the following’ day at
the risk of the defaulting purchaser.
Mr. Chester, editor of this paper, has re
ceived a letter from his brother-in-law, Wil
liam Wright, Esq., who is now traveling in the
South, detailing tho part iculars of an exciting
scene through which ho had lately passed.—
Mr. Wright was traveling in company with a
pat ty of gentlemen, by stage, toward Tuscurn
bia, Ala., on the 10th inst. Tito road was
new, and a portion of it lay through a thick
swamp. While in the midst of this swamp
nine negroes surrounded the st.age nndordered
the occupants to alight and deliver. One of
the stage party refused to comply with their
demands, and a tight ensued. A burly negro
attacked Mr. Wright, and was despatched by
his dirk. Another, when he saw his comrade
fall, pitched upon Mr. Wright, succeeded in
depriving him of hie dirk, and attempted 10
stab him. In warding off the blow Mr. Wright
lost three of his fingers. The negro was sub
sequently shot by one of the party. At this
juncture another stage catne up, and the sev
en remaining negroes nmuo a hasty exit.—

We are disposed to doubt the truth of Mr.
Wright’s story.

says: “It is with especial gratification that
we announce to the public aud the friends of
this Institution the auspicious commencement
of the session which began on Monday lust.—

tions of a prosperous beginning, by the fre
quent arrivals of students, and in addition to
those of former classes, who were familiar to
us, were from fifty to sixty others to occupy
the first and more advanced classes, which
enables us to state that at no time has there
been so large a number of students; there

.Florida Election.
We find the following additional election re
turns in the Savannah News of Monday:
A letter from Montitjello, Jefferson county,
says: “1 forward you the returns of our coun
ty, so iinr as heard from, which gives Perry a
majority over Walker of 170, aud Hawkins
over Baker 218. Two small precincts to hoar
from yet, which will increase the above live
or six votes. We have partial returns from
Madison, which so far as heard from gives
Perry and Hawkins seventy and ninety ma
jority.”
Escambia County.— The following are the
Democratic majorities: Perry, 25; Hawkins,
14; Brooks, Senator, 10: Gonzales, Assem
bly, 13.
in 1852, the vote for the Presidency in the
whole of Escambia county was for Scott 202,
Pierce 213. For Governor in 1854 the whig
vote was 177, democratic 179.
A Colored Swindler.
The New Orleans Crescent of Friday, tho
3d inst., furnishes the following account of a
colored swindler’s operations in that city. It
1 will be seen they were on quite a grand scale:’
“ Louis Ferrand, a free colored man of light
complexion and gcutcel manners, a dealer in
real Xstate, who has always lived in this city
and borne an excellent reputation for hones
ty, has “gone by tho boord,” so far as his
honesty is concerned; but with a tact that
any white chevalier d’lndustrie might envy, he
fell here with means chough to visa in glow
elsewhere. By; means of his excellent reputa
tion, upon the strength of which lie borrowed
money and passed false checks and notes
throughout the circle of his acquaintance, he
has been successful enough to carry off, as i
cstimatod, about 850.000 of their mouey. One
man he swindled out of $5001); another out
of if 1000: another out of 500; another out
of SIO9O, aud innumerable others out of sums
varying from SIOOO down to SIOO. The full
particulars of this extensive swindle will
doubtless come out before the Recorder soou :
already several affidavits have been made
two of which will bo found under our police
heads to-day'—and warrants issued, which it
is more than probable v.ill be returned with
the endorsement, “not found, after diligent
search.” Yesterday we mentioned the appear
ance, before Recorder Fabro, of a gentleman
who had been so unfortunate as to stand se
curity for Ferrand on a commitment to the
Criminal Court for passing ono of his fictitious
checks on somebody—this gent lonian desiring
a search warrant, in the fear that Ferrand
had left or was about to leave the city. He is
doubtle at a safe distance by this time, and
is, we think, fairly entitled to honorable men
tion in the list of illustrious exiles who repre
sent the United States in foreign parts. We
would not bo surprised to hear of his soon
being tho “ observed of all observers,” strut
ting in lordly mein along the Boulevards of
l’aris, or passing himself oil’ for au American
nobleman at some other fashionable foreign
resort. For that’sthoway with darkoys when
they make a big raise, the discovery o!’ the
uuusual extent of Ferrand’s operations creates
no little talk and astonishment down town.
Ho Crime to Btoal Lottery Tickets.
Three men at Montreal, having been in
dieted for a conspiracy to defraud one John
McDonald of a lottery ticket, Air. Justice
McCord, on the 4th inst., delivered an elabo
rate decision quashing the indictment. His
judgment proceeds on the ground that lotte
ries being illegal in Canada, lottery tickets
are there valueless, and it is no ofieuce to steal
them, much les t to conspire to do so.
Naval Hatters in Hew York.
iiie l idled Ftates steamship Niagara has
now all her machinery completed, and she is
expected to make her trial trip about the 2k.h
inst. The United States steamship Missis
sippi is still on the dock, and the work on her
is progressing slowly, owing to most pf the
hands in the yard being employed on board
of the Niagara and Resolute. The machine,

Cotton in Memphis.
Cotton is accumulating at Memphis far be
yond the capacity of the boats at present en
gaged in that trade to take it away, the low
water preventing the large Alcatpliis packets
from c tiling up with full loads. Two dollars
a bale freight is the price now offered, and
some of the small or “fry” of boats are doing
their best to accommodate, iu the meantime,
the cotton men of the “ Bluff Citv “
i
Taobile Custom House.
The structure of this magnificent bujUling,
whicn will be, decidedly, the grandest • edifice
within the precincts of ;our jcity. is gradually
progressing. The stone, brick and ironwork
of t tie first and second stores is now nearly
completed; and tho materials for the remain
der have arrived.
When'finished, it will be three stories high.
The height from the tioor to the ceiling of The
first story will bo seventeen l'eet—of the sec
ond twenty-two feet six inches —of the third
twenty-two feet. The outside walls are all
granite, and the whole interior frame work—
including that of the lioors, windows, doors
and roof —is wrought iron.
The foundation is made on the strongest
and most durable plan. It is constructed of
wood which is laid at such a depth as to be
perpetually covered with water. On Xhi.; are
built inverted brick arches cightucu incites
thick, with granite skewbaek-. On these
stone piers rest the iron columns of the first
floor, which are fifteen feet apart. The ascent
of ihe columns is in a uniform line —those of
the second story resting on those in the first
—and of the third on those in the second.
There arc iifly-two of these iron columns on
each tioor.
The floors of each story are composed of
iron and brick. The principle of construc
tion is as follows: Hollow wrought iron tubes
measuring ten by seven and a-half inches.ex
tend from column to column. Across these
tubes are laid, five feet four inches apart,
wrought iron beams, which measure seven
and a-quartor by four and a-half inches, and
are shaped like a railroad T rail. The flanges
of these beams support the arches of the
floor which is composed of brink and cemeent,
aud covered with a layer of concrete. Tftc
floor covering in the halls and vestibules is to
! be marble, and iu the various offices wood.
Tho root’ covering will be corrugated galvan
ized iron; and the whole building will thus
be entirely live-proof.
In the first story will be t’-.c ;> o t Office and
a storage room for the fievetiuo Department.
The si/,e of the room to be devoted to sorting
and delivering mail matter will be sixty-three
by seventy-three feet, and the private apart
ment “for the Post Master fifteen by twchty
eight. feet. The size of the storage room will
,ho thirty by eighty feet. There will be two
main entrances to the Post Office vqstittules,
one"on Bt. Francis and the other on Royal
street. The sizes of these vestibules will bo
respectively thirty hy seventy-eight, and fifty
two by seventy-five.feet. There will also be.
oh JSr. Francis sized, an entrance to a vesti
bule to be devoted to the delivery el'mail mat
ter ro ladies. An r.dfiv extending along the
vest and south from St. Francis and
Royal streets will be used by the I’Ost Otfieo-
Depnrtment for receiving and delivering mails
and by the Custom Mmw for receiving and
delivering goods.
The second story will be devoted exclusive -
ly to the Revenue Department.. The size of
the general business room will be fifty by
eighty feet. On the east and west sides of it
will be apartments for the Collector, Inspector,
Appraiser, Weigher and other officers.
Iri the third story will bj the United States
Court-room, the size of’ which will be fifty by
eighty-two feet. Room will be made on the
east and west side for the accommodation of
juries and other officer . of the court.
The fronts of the lover story, and tho cor
ners of the second and third are rusticated.
Over the main entrances on St. Francis and
Royal streets will bo two balconies, which,
together with the cut r-t-.-ue embelishments,
will give to the whole exterior a truly splen
did appearance.
The building was vb -! r.ied by Mr. Ammi
B. Young, architect frr :hc U. S. Treasury

‘.flie Election Bio: iu Baltimore.
We copy the following account from the
Baltimore Sun of Tlnnv ‘.ay last:
The municipal election it: this city yester
day was characterized By a most unusual
amount of violence and dh -c-rder—more, per
haps, as every true mu;, and Baltimorean will
deeply regret to acknowledge, than ever be
fore on a similar occasion. Various riot sand
collisions occurred in diii'v.-cut parts of the
city and at some of the polls; and not only
verb persons maimed, but life was taken iu
several instances. Those who fell, however,
Wero for the most part engaged in the rival
war of organized gangs. At. least three or
four lives are known to kn\ r been lost — pro
bably five.
A most terriblo and fatal riot took place in
tho 12th ward, at and in the vicinity of the
Lexington market, yesterday afternoon. Il
went on from about 3 o'clock for some two to
three hours, unchecked aud unheeded, appa
rently, by any efficient show of police force.
It was reckless and murder, sin the extreme,
conducted entirely in a gin villa fashion, aud
almost wholly with firo-an e. L’he parties
engage,! were rep..-, pti ; . lie “Rip-Rap
and “Plug-Uglies,” against the New Market

engine house on ‘inlaw street, between Fay
ette and Lexington, by their assailants, who
gained and maintained possession of the mar
ket house, sullying forth fr. .a it at different
points as occasion suggested, or as a real or
Supposed enemy appeared in sight. There
i were perhaps some two hundrod s it,.ts fired
during this protracted wind aw.
It was a most surprising spectacle for civ
ilized community, and such was the clangorous
and t; a safe aspect of the airier, that the stores
and houses generally in tl; a igWborhood on
several squares dosed tip Heir shutters fend
doom. .Matty peaceable eh'.:: its stood looking
on at it distance at difVere:.’ points, deploring
the disgraceful spec: at-te . -.J the’ absence ot
all means for staying its progress. Numer

were boldly carried. loaded, fovdnnd reloaded
and tired, time and again, iu the same hands,
while every one around the market house, that
were not tints armed, fiouri. Led a revolver.—
These arms Were deliberately leveled at sup
posed enetniea aud fired, an ; even while one
man lay dead, and another was wrl iking front
maybe a mortal wound, in’ the apothecary

Horrible Record -of Crime.
Among the prisoners admitted into the Ely
jail at. New Orleans last week, says the C; as
cent, were two men chained together, ‘ tic
was a sorrowful-looking gray-haired man, an
irishman, old enough to bo tho grandfather of
ttuy one of the spectators who crowded around
to look atlum. The other was am 0... loath
some looking creature, old enough to be-the
father of any of the spectators—with a persyn
so filthy, hair so matted, and a .countenance
so brutally sensual and darkhued as to afford
no clue to his nationality. Hot h the prisoners
sit turned the gaze of all who looked at them,
and scented only to see the ground : aud well
they might. The one was Denik Lynch,„Bs
years old, charged with attempting to com
mit a rape bn a little girl six and a liai. yv.-av
oid, in the Fourth District. The other was’
William Bartlet, about fifty years old, charg
ed with an attempt of similar friudisluici-s on
a little girl seven years old, iu the First Dis
trict—the testimony being of penitentiary
strength against both. Th&se two, with Stui'hs,
who was sent to the same prison from the
Third District, for actually accomplishing a
rape on a little girl seven and a half years
old, form a trio upon which his Botanic Ma
jesty, ve should think, may look.with parti
cular pride. The criminal annals of New
Orleans may be searched in vain for an in
stance in which three such resplendent rivals
in degradation ever polluted a prison at the
same time.
The Richmond Duel.
Mr. B. B. Botts, son of John Miner Betts,
and Roger Prior, Esq., who went to Washing
ton to fight a duel about a card which the for
mer published about the latter in retaliation
for strictures upon the political course of his
noble father, were arrested “on the-ground,”
near Mr. Blair’s residence, and compelled to
return to Richmond. Mr. T. ]?. Cheseman,
the second of Mr. Prior, publishes the corres
pondence with a card, showing that Air. Bolts
postponed the time later than was necessary,
and that the place of meeting yeas known to
many people not connected with the affair, be
fore it was made known to himself. He says :
“Being satisfied from these facts and others
that any attempt to secure a hostile ntcetiu •;
between Mr. Lb B. Bolts and Mr, Prior will bo
thwarted by persons not connected with the
matter, but friendly to tho lion. J. M. Botts,
as also satisfied from the physical condition of
Air. B. B. Botts, as exhibited on the field, that
Mr. Prior ought not to shoot at him, I can
have nothing more to do with the matter, had,
giving the correspondence and these facts to the
public, close my connection with it.” This is
a rather ludicrous cu-Jing of the affair for the
sou of iiie Virginian abolitionist. —Charleston
