COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, October Si*, 1856. I. Alt. OK ST CITY CIKCUIiATION. Land Warrants. There is a more active movement in land warrants in New York, and prices are better. Thompson’s llank Note Reporter quotes: Buying. Selling. 40-acre warrants at sl.lO $1.15 80-acre warrants at 03 06 120-acre warrants at 88 04 160-aere warrants at 03 06 We give placo to-day to a letter from Judge Cone, a leuding American of Greene county, in this Htate. The Judge wus a member of the Philadelphia Convention in 1855, and a South- Orn Rights man in 1850. It is singular that the Ihreo parties to the 12th section of tho Philadelphia Platform, are all now supporting Buchanan. Burwcll, of Virginia was at the time of the sitting of the Convention, editor of the American Organ at Washington. Hop kins, of Alabama, has been a Whig all his life, and was never known to iliucli before. The returns of the Pennsylvania election which took place on Tuesday last, clearly in dicates that Mr. Buchanan cannot carry a Northern State, not even Pennsylvania. The election of Pennsylvania hns gone against tho Democratic party; where is the boasted strength of Mr. Buchanan, North? The above is from tho Lumpkin Plaindcalcr of Tuesday, just one week after tho election. Whero does the feller get his news ? The Boys of the Town. The attention of our readers is requested for the philanthropic suggestions in a commu nication headed “Tho Boys’ Friends’ Socie ty,” which we copy from tire Mobile Tribune. The article is equally applicable to Columbus. The statements of the writer in relation to tho precocious wickedness that wo are nurturing are littorally true. Goodruen usually stay at home at night, if they have no business call ing thorn from it, and consequently have little or no knowledge of the large number of inci pient criminals who iufostthe city. A strang er thrown among them might be pardoned for supposing that there is no paruntai discipline within Columbus. Broad Street is a great re sort for them. For some reason, which is not exactly plain to us, thero is a laxity of family discipline that is ruinous to tho youthful pop ulation—that is accumulating sorrow for many an affectionate father and mother. In evidence of this, we could cito several instances that have occurred in this place, dur ing our short residence here. Consolation. Tho LaGrangc Reporter says “as our demo cratic friends have been rejoicing over the ac cession of Dr. Bacon to their ranks, wo will slate for their edification that he will not cast his vote for Mr. Buchanan—ho having left on a visit for Texas, and will not return till after the election.” Tho Doctor ought not to treat his Democrat ic friends so. Possibly tho Doctor differs with the Reporter as to the importance of tho vote in Ueorgia. South Carolina College. Wo aro pleased to learn, snys the Carolina Times, that this noble State institution opened its session yesterday morning, with over 500 students, and that the accessions, when closed, will present a larger number than the previous year. Wo learn from tho Mobile Tribune that the passenger train on tho Mobile and Ohio Rail road ran over a cow between Marion station and Enterprise, on Saturday last, and was thrown elf the track. Three brakemen were killed, and the engine, tender, and several cars much injured. Tho Florida War. Tho Government is, says tho Baltimore American, making ample preparations to put at end to the odious and costly war in Florida during tho coming winter, which is tho most favorable senson for operations in the ever glades. The troops intondod for this service comprise nearly two and a half regiments, or about two thousaud men, drafted from various posts on tho seaboard and at the Northwest. Two companies will leave Fort Hamilton, Go vernor’s Island, in a few days, also, two com panies from Boston Harbor, and others from Old Point Comfort. This will increase about three-fourths to tho United States force at present in tho peninsula. A number of large flat-boats, both of wood and iron, aro in pro cess of construction at New York, at the ship yards and iron foundries, designed to aid the troops in penetrating tho everglades. Gen. Harney is to take command, and as ho is not only a very resolute and untiring officer, hut one who is thoroughly acquainted with tho ground and tho enemy, we may anticipate the speedy termination of this protracted and very expensive war.

Hook, Esq.; 1 have received your letter, inquiring my position in the Pres idential contest, and the reasons for that posi tion, and requesting that my answer to these inquiries might be laid before the public. I have received several letters of like character, but have hitherto declined writing anything for the public eye. But for reasons stated in your letter, 1 will comply with your request. I shall vote for Buchanan, and will briefly give you my reasons for doing so. I consider the defeat of Fremont as the con troling question in this campaign, and para mount to all others. The question of his election concerns not the policy of the govern ment alone, but the continued existence of the government. If he should be elected, and the principles avowed by him and his party be made practical, there is little hope that the Union would survive his administration. It uppears to me, therefore, that all other issues and questions should, for the present, be pass ed over, and that all men, of patriotic hearts and right intentions, should, for the present, forget past political differences, and unite iu securing Fremont’s defeat. At an early period in the campaign, I con sulted all tho reliable means of information, in my power, for the purpose of ascertaining the relative strength of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Fillmore, and 1 came to the conclusion that Mr. Buchanan had great strength and Mr. Fillmore very little; and that if Fremont could be defeated, Mr. Buchanan alone could do it: and that Mr. Buchanan or Fremont would be certainly elected. Subsequent events have placed the correctness of this opinion be yond doubt or question. Since the nomination of the Presidential candidates, general elections have been held in the following non-slaveholding States: — Vermont, Maine, lowa, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. -In all of these, except the last, the Fillmore party presented no separate ticket, but united on the same ticket with the Black Republicans, and gave them all the aid they possessed. In Ohio they run a ticket and were defeated by a very large majority. The fact of their running no ticket in these States is a confession of their own weakness and ina bility to elect candidates of their own party. Since the same time, electio linsave been held injtho followingslavehodling States: Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Delaware, N. Carolina, Florida, Texas and South Carolina. In all these States, except the last, the Fillmore par ty presented and run a ticket of their own, and were defeated in every State, and most of them by large majorities. In South Carolina they ran no ticket, which is a confession that they had no strength in that State. It is said that the election in Kentucky was not a test vote. It may not have been strictly so, but tho result of the election was strongly indicative of the weakness and increasing weak ness of the Fillmore party in that State, and of its certain defeat in November. It may bo safely asserted, therefore, that in all these States where elections have been Held, the Fillmore party is in a minority, and in most of them a very small minority. It appears to me, therefore, that since these elections have taken place, the most sanguine friend of Fillmoro must be convinced that his chance for election is utterly hopeless—that if Fremont is beaten, Mr. Buchanan is tho man alone who can do it—and that he will do it I have no doubt. But 1 have other objections to the support of Mr. Fillmoro and his party. In June, 1855, the American party met in Convention iu Philadelphia; I was a member of the Convention, and Chairman of the Com mittee of, thirty-one wlioj were charged with the duty of reporting resolutions declaratory of the principles of the party. As Chairman of tho Committee, I prepared and introduced what is familiary kuown as the 12th section of the Philadelphia Platform. Some additions and amendments were subsequently made to it by Mr. Burwell, of Virginia, Mr. Hopkins, of Alabama, and myself, jointly. As amend ed, it was adopted by the Committee, and af terwards by the Convention. That section guarantees for the rights of the South—declaring substantially that there should be no future legislation by Congress upon the subject of slavery; that Congress possessed no power over the institution in the States; that it should not legislate upon the subject in the Territories, and that any inter ference with it in the District of Columbia would boa violation of national faith. Upon the adoption of these resolutions, they became the principles of the American party. They were doomed to a very short existence. The Con vention of the American party that met in Philadelphia iu February, 1856, repudiated and struck out the 12tli section, and the prin ciples contained in that section thenceforth ceased to be tho principles of tho American party; and from that day I was no longer a member of that party. Why did this Conven tion strike out the 12th section ? For no oth er reason than that they did not hold to tho principles set forth in that section. But this Convention not only struck out the 12th sec tion, and discarded its principles—they ignor ed the whole subject of slavery, and*in enu merating the crimes of Pierce’s administra tion, the repeal of tho Misssouri Compromise finds a prominent position. It may, therefore, be safely asserted that tho American party, North, holds to none of the principles of the 12th section—that they condemn the repeal of the Missouri restriction, by which tho South was restored to iier unquestionable rights ; and therefore, I think it is not passsing an un charitable judgment upon them to say, that they will restore it when an opportunity offers. Indeed, every member of that party from the non-slaveholdiug States, except Mr. Vaulk, who voted upon the subject at all, voted to re store it. But l have other objoctious to voting for Mr. Fillmore or acting with his party, which have strengthened nsjthe campaign progress ed. It is a significant fact, and one which should impress itself strongly and permanent ly upon the mind of every patriot, that in all the nou-slnveholding States, since tho nomin ation of tho Presidential candidates, the Fill more party have united witli the Black Repub licans—voted and acted with them—and done all in their power to give them strength, aud the control of the government in their respec tive States. Could they have done this unless their principles were not very unliko? In no case, whatever, have they given any aid to the Democratic party—but they have uniformly done all in their power to defeat them. The conclusion, then, is irresistible, that in nil the non-slaveholding States, the Fillmore party are for tho election of Mr. Fremont, rather than the election of Mr. Buchanan. Witli such a party, I can never act. I nev er will vote for any man who votes for the Black Republican party. I never will net with any party that gives aid and comfort to the Black Republican party, and uses its pow er to placo them in office. Looking at tllese facts, it is hard for me to understand why the entire South, and the pat riotic men of the North, should not unite in the support of Mr. Buchanan. His long connection with tho government, and its administration, is a sure guaranty, that in his hands the Union will be safe; the government wisely administered and tho peo ple prosperous and happy. Your friend, F. 11. CONE. Important from Philailelpliia. Meeting of the Opposition Committees—The Penn sylvania Electoral Ticket—Election Frauds in Philadelphia, .etc. Philadelphia, Oct. 17, p. m. The meeting of the Fillmore Committee at the Washington House, this morning, was very stormy. Mr. Sanderson, the Chairman, when called upon to define his position, with reference to not being an American, dodged the question by stating that he was as much opposed to Mr. Buchanan as any of them. He objected to fusion, because he believed that Fillmore would carry Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and the election would then go to tho House, and he would be elected there. l’cter Martin, with seven others, argued long in favor of fusion with the republicans ; but the fourteen other members of the com mitte carried it eventually ngainst them.— Granger, of New York, Day, the India rubber man, and Allen, of Boston, made themselves very officious with the meeting. The last week in September was the period at which this majority of the Fillmore commit tee was brought over. Daniel E. Sickles came on here at the time, in company witli Miller, of New York. Augustus Schell, and Taylor, (a K. N.) arrived at the same time. The four were immediately closeted with Forney. This occurred on tho 26th ult. The next day the Democratic leaders declared themselves certain of carrying the State elections. It is ascertained to-day that 6,000 American votes were cast for the democratic ticket in this city and county. The most unblushing roguery has been shown in Philadelphia, and the vote will be contested. William B. Mann, republican candidate for District Attorney, took the first step this morning in the Court of Common Pleas. The republicans believo they can strike off several thousands of the demo cratic votes by contesting the returns. There are loud cries of vengeance against Forney. The Republican and North American Com mittees are in session together at the former’s rooms, in Walnut street. They have been joined by seven mombers of the Fillmore Com mittee, and the whole body is now discussing the formation of an electoral ticket. Eleven O’clock, r. m. After being in session during five hours, the Republican and North American State Com mittees, with a portion of the Fillmore Com mittee, have agreed upon a ticket which it is believed will entirely take the wind out of the sails of the pro-slavery Fillmore leaders. The following is the Union electoral ticket, nomi nated upon the basis proposed by the Union State Committee, in the call for a Union State Convention, to be held at Harrisburg on the 21st inst., to wit: twenty-six names in com mon ; the twenty-seventh name to be different on the tickets voted for by the Fillmore and Fremont men respectively, the vote of the electors, if chosen, to be cast pro rata accord ing to the vote given for the twenty-seventh name respectively. It was also agreed that the electoral ticket to be voted for by the Fremont men should be headed by the name of John C. Fremont, and that to be voted for by the Fillmore men by the name of Millard Fillmoro. The following is the electoral tick et : ELECTORS AT LARGE. JohnC. Fremont. Gen. Jas. Irvin, of Centre co.

Mirror. More Proof of Fremont’s Apostacy. The Washington Star at tho close of an arti cle commenting on the letter of Mr. Yeadon, in which that gentleman conclusively proves Fre mont to boa double apostate in religion, adds the following: P S.—After preparing the above article, we learned accidentally of a fact of no little in terest in this connection.

We learn that the course of Lectures, pre liminary to the regular course in November, will be commenced to-day at 12 o’clock at the College building, and be continued daily, (Sun days of course excepted,) until the third day of November. Dr. Joseph Jones, the newly elected Professor of Chemistry, will deliver a course of Lectures on Comparative Anatomy. His Lectures will be daily at one o’clock. The Smithsonian Institute have just issued from the press a series of articles from his pen, containing the results of his original research es and experiments on Chronico-Physiological subjects. Young as he is, he has, at one bound, attained a high position in the world of science. We have no doubt that his course of Lectures will be interesting aud instructive, not only to the Medical student, but to the student of Nature. A member of the Faculty desires us to say that the doors of the Lecture Room will be open to all who tako any inter est on the subject. We all recollect how en chained the great Agassiz kept his audiences in our city, at once a compliment to the distin guished Savant, and to the taste ana intellect of Savannah. Dr. Jones is a faithful follower in the track of Natural History, and when time shall have matured his experience, we trust the South may point favorably to him as a worthy son, vindicating her claim to have rep resentatives in purely scientific walks. We are informed that his first two or three lec tures will be devoted to the consideration of the boundary between the Mineral, Vegetable and Animal Kingdoms. Just at this time, when the dicta of the great German Microsco pist, Elirenberg, have been called in question by other observers, a discussion on such a subject must be full of interest.— Savannah News.

There is no fact more clearly establish ed in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and it self during the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep; if the recuperation does not equal the ex penditures, the brain withers; this is in sanity. Thus it is that in early English history persons who were condemned to death, by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs; thus it is, al so, that those who are starved to death be come insane ; the brain is not nourished, and they cannot sleep. The practical in ferences are three : 1. Those who think most, who do most brain work, require most sleep. 2. That time “saved” from necessary sleep is infallibly destructive to mind, body and estate. 3. Give yourself, your children, your servant, give all who are under you the fullest amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some reg ular hour, and to arise in the morning the moment they awake of themselves, and within a fortnight, nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will un loose the bonds of sleep, the moment enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This is the only safb and sufficient rule; and as to the question, how much sleep any one re quires, each must be a rule for himself; great Nature will never fail to write it to the observer under the regulations just given. —Journal of Health.

It is a well known fact that all cities are nio or less infested by had and unruly boys j acquire most of the viler elements of cbaract I by the facilities of association, and of obtainin a livelihood, which compact populations J 1 ford. “ The “gamins” of the city of Paris are son torious as a class, as to have earned aw, wide celebrity. The vagrant boys of Lon-j are numbered by thousands, who rise fr ‘ their lairs of filth and wretchedness i n t morning, without knowing whence they m#* 3 derive sustenance for the day, but re i v - # ’ mainly on chance, contrivance or theft fur y supply. So in our own great cities, the bov. who are thrown upon their own resources fro the poverty of parents, from inefficient p areil ! tal control, and from other causes have an so numerous as to attract serious public att tMl tion, with a view to a remedy for the inevitii ble evils of such a state of things. Mobile is not only not free from this vice 0 ( vagrant boys,—she is indeed fully suppli t !.'j j with her proportion of that undesirable clns population. Thocauses which create thatch, are the same hero as elsowhere, and may , briefly stated thus: The want of parents friends; the poverty of parents ; the inefficity control of parents. Nor is Mobile free from the effects of such a population. Boys may be seen roaming tL e streets daily, during tho ordinary school hour whose sole employment would appear to l,j amusement or mischief. On occasion of the * least excitement, night or day, they fill streets, —a turbulent mass. Every'place o! amusement is thronged with them. The wharves, the ship yards, are their ordinary places of resort, and they are sure to malic a considerable part of the auditory at all politi cal meetings. The habits thus engendered are productive of groat and serious evils. Wild and reckless habits, inconsistent with domestic control; a sort of wayward, piratical feeling, independent of all government. An abhorrence of all con straint, of all regular application or industry, of all studiousness—unceasing restlessness. - Habits of smoking, chewing, drinking—using , profane language. These evils are common in a great or less degree to all boys who are al lowed much license in Mobile. But there are other evils consequent upon such a life as the vagrant boys lead, that induce necessarily the most dreadful results. With so much of lib erty and license, urged on by real or fancied necessities, these vagrant boys commit depre dations on the property of others, that often arnouut to theft. They become gradually har dened in this vicious school and promising can didates for the criminal courts in higher grades of crime. To make an honest, earnest attempt to snatch these boys from the ruin that is impending over them, is tho object which we have in view. It is time to begin. We do not propose this a moment too soon, nor indeed until we have all been convinced of the necessity of ef fort of some kind to stay the evil. Othercities have not begun perhaps so early, that is with so small a population as we have. But have not other cities begun after they have furnish ed many such candidates to the states prison, and the gallows? Wc hope to arrest this evilby judiciousman agement, based upon kindly and humane prin ciples ; by the extension, as far as possible, of a sort of parental government. And if we can lay the arm of compassion on such boys and divert their youthful energies from the downward path of vice and infamy; if we can imbue them with virtuous sentiments, and put them in the way of usefulness, may we not cheer the hearts of many a widowed mother, and convert many idle, wandering boys into good and honorable citizens ? That an association for such a purpose would con fer on Mobile great public benefit, none will doubt. The writer of this invites the attention of the citizens of Mobile to an institution speedily to be formed with especial reference to the object above shadowed forth, to which we most earn estly entreat their sympathies and their per sonal aid. W. C. E. Lady Granville’s Loss at the Coronntiou. The Moscow correspondent of Le Nord gives the following curious story: “On the day of the coronation, and at the mo ment when the cortege was entering the Kremlin, a magnificent pearl necklace worn by Lady Granville broke, and the pearls, each of which was of great value, were scattered at her feet. Her ladyship did not evince the slightest emotion at the circumstance, but proceeded on her way, leaving the remnants of an ornament which would be a fortune to any one less wealthy than the lady of the English am bassador.
