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.— Syracuse Journal. We are disposed to doubt the truth of Mr. Wright’s story. What say the Tuscumbia, Alabama press over heard of it ? -. A Doctor knows a human body as a cabman knows a town —he is well acquainted with all the great thoroughfares and turnings—he is Ultimate with nil the principal edifices, but he cannot tell what is going on inside of any of them. The Hamilton (C. W.) banner says Mr. Doutre, the candidate to represent the district of Do Salaberry in the legislative council, has declared himself in favor of the annexation of Canada to the United States. University of Alabama. The Tuscaloosa Monitor of the 9th instant, 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.— For several days previous there were indica 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 are now between 130 and 140, aud others ex pected.” The following are the terms of admission into the Class of the first year. Ist. The student must have attained the age of fifteen. 2d. He must present a certificate of good moral character, of habits of industry, and a regular and honorable discharge from the School or College with which he m us last con nect, ed. 3d.

On admission into any Class the Student is placed on probation for three months, during which he must exhibit the qualities of a good student,'and obtain a standing of fifty per cent, in order to full Matriculation. Bragging on Connecticut. The southern Democratic press is making considerable to do over the vote given, to tLe Democratic candidate.-, it the recent Connecti cut election. Now, have these gentlemen overlooked the fact that (he Americans united their force With tiic Democracy, and that with out. their aid the latter would have been com pletely routed by Frcesoilers ‘l—Savannah A’ - publican. What other course was left lor them to pur sue ? Fillmore’s friends claim fur him equal soundness with Buchanan on matters pertain ing to the rights of the South. That being their true position, with what ot-hev party should they have fused ? .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, boiler aud foundry shops are expected tn he completed by the Ist of January. 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 Department, and is under the superintend ence of i). Leadbetter, Captain T r . 8. Engin eers, assisted by C. T. Liernur, Civil Engin eer. The constructors are Messrs. I. I). Spear’ & Cos., of this city. The work will be finished by June Ist, 1858, and the Cost will be s2ft.OoO. — Mobil , Tri bun". ‘ ‘.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.

There i were perhaps some two hundrod s it,.ts fired during this protracted wind aw.

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 Standard. ——— A Grateful -Ncoto.
