About ono o’clock yesterday a serious affray occurred in Girard, Alabama, between Mr. Eli Hpivy and Mr. Washington Blackburn, which ended in Blackburn's shooting Spivy, the shot taking effect in the breast. The wouud is considered dangerous, though his physician pronounces his case not entirely hopeless. Spivy, we understand, had a pistol atul bowio knife in his hands when ho was shot down. Mr. Blackburn is said to be a peace able man, and was, on this occasion, perfectly sober, and is represented as having acted en tirely on the defensive. We also understand that Mr. John Abecrorn bie, hud one wrist badly cut with the bowic in the hands of Spivy. ♦ The Jillection. The election yesterday passed off’ quietly, no no was hurt, and no damage was done, except to John Barleycorn, which from the appearance of many at the polls and in the “Treats, vve should think was well nigh swal -1 .wed tip. The short time wo were present wc saw several of the sovereigns in quite a boo/ey mood, and one so futiguod that if took throe men to get him sufficiently near the polls to hand in his voto. Great country, this, thought we. The voto in this city stands— For Fillmore 785 For Buchanan 027 There are three Comity precincts in this County, two of which are reported to have giv en Fillmore I'd majority each. The other not heard from. The majority for Buchanan iu Taylor coun ty, Go., is reported by passengers on train last night, to be about 100. This a democratic gain of over # 100. ba Grange, Ga.—Majority for Fillmore 273. Alabama Elections. We have heard from Girard, Oswichee, Craw ford, Hand Fort, Salem and Opelika in Bussell County, Ala., and Buchanan’s majority so far is 1 50. The precincts to hear from will prob ably reduce this majority about 50 votes. .Macon County—Wo have heard from Au burn, Franklin, Lochapoka, and Tuskegee.— Fillmore's majority so far 104. This is a dem ocratic gain. Montgomery City.—Fillmore’s majority 131. I ‘omoerutio gain of about 100. Mobile, Alabama, gives Buchanan a small majority. This is a gain of over six hundred. A dispatch from Eufaula, received at the TimCs office, gives tho majority for Buchanan at that precinct at 180. itain and the Biver. Wo had a heavy fall of rain on Monday night, sufficient, it is thought, to put the Chat tahoochee in good trim for Navigation. It has already risen sufficiently to put Boats nfloat, and there was considerable bustle among Steamboat men yesterday, whose crafts have been Hammering it iu tho vicinity of Colum bus, to put their boats in motion. The South Carolina will leave for Apalachicola, to-day, at II o’clock. Th e Laura has, probably, already left from her Summer quarters a few miles below. The Oswichee and Tampa, we under stand, are disposed to wait for what they term a more “ permanent rise.” At the present writing, the wind is in the North-west, giving every indication that old winter is ueqr at hand. ‘Flu- 1 ouug Men’s Christian Association.

Iu an interview with tho editors of tlid Picayune, lie informed them that he passed fifteen days with Col. Kinney, who is in good health, and is prosecuting his agricultural labors at his farm on Indian river with great success. Col. Kinney takes a great and friend ly interest in the movements of Gen. Walker, and lias sent several of liis men, who lmd reach ed Grey to wu on their way home, in reduced circumstances, to the United States with his own means. Mr. Fisher is on his way to Nash ville, in order to take out a body of emigrants to Nicaragua. Tho brother of Gen. Walker accompanied him to San Juan, but returnod to Granada. No steamer had comedown from tho interior since that bringing the intelligence which wo published some duys since. —- - The Gi-ntn Trade of Chicago. The Chicago Times of the 21st instant says: There were over two millions of bushels iu this city yesterday—to be exact, 2,1(12,024 bushels. Fart of it, to wit, 713,806 bushels, was on board, and formed the cargoes of forty nine vessels, which were lying in the harbor waiting lor a favorable wind, mid ready to sail. T he remaining 1,410,757, bushels were iu store iu tho various warehouses along the river. For the Fair. A largo number of animals came down upon the cars a day or two since, intended for ex hibition at the Fair which is to commence on the 11th iust. Every arrangement has been made for the re ception of stock, as well as all articles intended tor exhibition. Long rows of stalls have been erected ou both sides of the Fair grouuds, aud a large Ampitheatro, capable of seating from three to tour thousand people. From present indications the Fair will be ono of the most interesting as well as the largest ever held in this section. , ‘ l 'hc Montgomery and West Point Itail lioad Go., has kindly proffered to transport every . thing intended for the fair, free of charge. | asMngers at half tho usual prioe.— Montgomt- Hf “(Hunger. * White Slavery at. tlie North. We copy the following article from the New York Commercial Advertiser. Wonder if the “ Young Housekeeper” of Boston is in favor of the enforcement of tlie Fugitive Slave Law.’ —or does hist ideas of the obligations of ser vitude and the relations of master and servant only extend to the poor hirelings of his own race, who while they ure made to feel more than the social degradation and more than the hardships of the Southern slave, are deprived of the privileges, security aud protection to which the latter is by liis relation to his own er, entitled. Coming from Boston, the hot-bed of Aboli tionism, tho writer’s remonstrance against those , who are “ mean enough to be guilty of an offence against the laws of Christian broth erhood,” is certainly rich. The article with the remarks of the Commercial, are too sug gestive to the Southern reader to need com ment : tamdkiu.ng wirn oxntn deudle’s -servants. Mr. Editor: It is a melancholy truth that there are those mean enough to be guility of the above offence against the laws of Chris tian brotherhood, which, as St. Paul says, “worketh no ill to his neighbor.” A foreign servant of mine was recently accosted by a female, richly dressed, (1 cannot call her lady, though my servant paidher that compliment,) who asked her if she was satisfied with her treatment, wages, &c., and if not, that she would give her a situation suitable to her wishes, ilad'thc ruse been successful, and my servant seduced from her allegiance, the would-be lady would have been surprised, probably to find that her clever little piece of social treason had exposed her to an action at law for damages-—a means of redress the wri ter of this would most assuredly have tried, for what lie considers to be a breach of good faith, good breeding, and good morals. The above communication from “ a young housekeeper” was addressed to the Boston Transcript, but it relates to an offence which is perpetrated in other places as often as there. Probably there will be few readers of these lines who do not know of several in stances in which domestics have been enticed away from situations where they had learned to be useful, by promises of lesswork or addi tional wages. A “ greenhorn” is employed in a gentleman’s family, who endure all the in conveniences arising from her ignorance, iu the hope that she will compensate for that by her usefulness after she lias been (aught to do her work well; but as soon as she becomes a competent domestic, tho chances are t hat some kind neighbor will endeavor to lure her way. Blackstone says: •• The retaining another per son’s servant during the time lie has agreed to serve his present master, as it is an ungen tlemanlike, so it is also an illegal act. For every’ master has by liis contract purchased for a valuable consideration, the service of his domestics for a limited time ; the inveigling or hiring his servant, which induces a breach of this contract is therefore an injury to the master ; and for that injury tho law has given him a remedy by a special action ou the case; and lie may also have an action against the servant lor the non-performance of his agree ment.” (81. Com. b.3, ch. 8, p. 142). And it has been judicially decided in England that “an action lies for receiving or continuing to employ the servant of another after the second master has notice that ho is the servant of another, though he was not apprised of that circumstance when lie hired him.” (G T. It. 221.) This is the common law here as well as in England. The enforcement of it in a few cases would be a useful admonition; and it is perhaps, to be regretted that the Transcript’s correspondent had not au opportunity to cur ry iuto effect his intention to institute a pro secution. Increased Value of Properly 111 Mobile. In looking over the city assessment returns yesterday, says the Tribune, for the years ending March 1855 and 1850, we were pleas ed to see that those of the latter year showed considerable increase over those of the for mer.

Sicilians. The year 1812 witnessed the formal leave taking of Mrs. Siddons, an actress of the most transcendent talents. Mr. Young himself re lated to ThomnsCampbell, the poet of “liopo,” the impression which that matchless woman once made upon himself when he was playing with her in “The Gamester,” upon the Edin burgh boards. In the fourth scene of the fifth act, when Beverly, iu answer to a charge against her husband of having been seen quar reling in the stroets with Lcwsoti, exclaims, “ Tis false, old man ! thoy had no quarrel— they had no cause for quarrel.” In uttering ■ theso words Mrs. Siddons caught hold of Jar- | vis, and gavo an exclamation with such picrc- ] , ing grief, that Young said his throat swelled, j I and his utterance was choked, lie stood un able to speak the sentence which he ought im mediately to have uttered.

The completion of that part of the ! iino is guaranteed in two years. While this zeal is thus evinced by the Floridians, it be j comes tho capitalists of this section to be \ awake to their duty in performing their part of 1 the implied obligation to perfect the connec tion. Tho last few years must have made it j sufficiently obvious to our commercial men, that the river cannot be relied on as a connec tion with the Gulf, except for a few months in a year. The difficulties in navigation nro in creasing every year from tho daring up of the swamp reservoirs which supplied the river during the dry season, and from the new bars constantly forming the debris from the wash ing of the soil iu cultivation. For these obstacles there is no practical remedy, and the interior will be obliged here after to depend mainly on tho rail for its va rious transactions with the Gulf ports. The route from this point is graded for fifty miles, and contracts are completed lor the grading to the Florida line. We learn tlmt an additional subscription of SIOO,OOO from our citizens is only needed to complete the arrangements which will put the whole road in operation in two years. Considering the largo capital of this section, this is but a trilling obstacle, which we trust an appeal to our citizens will remove in a moment. A little reflection will convince any one of its importance, and en ergetic action for a short period will put the whole route in operation. This is guaranteed. —Montgomery Journal. The Mysterious Organ. About an hour’s journey from Albersweiler, and in a beautiful valley, lies the village of Eusserthal. which takes its name from a con vent that was once celebrated, but has uow completely disappeared. The choirof the con vent church, is, however, still left, and is used as a place of worship. All sorts of things are said in the village about the enormous wealth of the convent, especially about a certain gold en organ that once stood in the church and was played during divine service. When the conveiit, ou one occasion, was attacked by enemies, the first care of tho monks was to se cure this treasure. They dragged it to a marsh which was formerly in the valley, and sank it as deep as they could. However, they had saved their treasure tone purpose, inas much as they were compelled to fly, and died in distant parts, while the convent fell to ruin. Every ono is perfectly aware that the organ is still somewhere in the neighborhood of the church, but the precise spot where it lies is utterly unknown. Nevertheless, every seven years it rises out of the depths at midnight and its sublime tones are heard iu the far distance, Nothing is at all comparable to the gentle breathings of the golden piper in the open air during the solemn stillness of the night. Soon the soft tones swell into mighty billows of sound, which rush through the narrow valley until the noise again subsides, and ends with a light echo in tho forest. But no one has ventured to obtain a sight of the organist who holds the music in his power, and thus the discovery of the treasure is reserved for the future.— German Legal J. Burglary—Outrage. About -4 o’clock, Sunday morning, a mulat to man entered the residence of a most esti mable widow lady in this city, evidently’ with the intention of murdering her.

The dogs were put on the scent aqd ran it to the residence of Mr. liugeloy, where a negro belonging to Mr. It., was im mediately arrested and imprisoned. We learn that this negro had been positively ordered by the lady whom lie is supposed to have assaulted, never to put his foot on her premises; aud the inference is very strong that, knowing her defenceless situation, lie sought to take her life, in revenge.— Mont. Mail. Growth of New Orleans. The Commerce of New Orleans for the past year has been larger than for any previous year. We learn also from the Crescent that a large number of buildings are in the course of erection in that city, involving an expendi ture of more than two millions of dollars. Among them are two splendid churches, two orphan asylums, one Jewish and one Catho lic, a Mechanics Institute, one Medical School, a Jewish Synagogue, a cotton press to cost $150,000; a house for Janies Robb, to cost $75,000; several other houses costing from $12,000 to $35,000 each, and a large number of stores costing from SIO,OOO to $20,000 each. The new Custom House will not be completed in several years. It will cost $3,- 260,000.

The editor of the l’ottsviilo (Pa.) Miners’ Journal recently visited Philadelphia, and while there his room at the hotel was entered one night by a light fingered rascal, who stole from his clothing a valuable watch and some money. The editor subsequently received a communication from the *‘chovalier,” together with a locket which was attached to the watch. He said he returned the locket, “thinking it might probably bo valued on account of asso ciations,” and would have returned tho watch, but there was such a small umount of capital in the parse that it would not pay for tlm trouble he took, so the watch had to be sold to “pay expenses.” lie says he likes editors, and it ho makes any money soon, will buy the watch back and return it, and winds up by ad vising the knight of the quill not to sleep so sound the next time lie visits the Quaker city —all ot which must be very consoling to that gentleman.

Fraudulent Imitations or Superior Commodities, Among the many dishonesties of trade which ilie mor al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, i.e would particularly notice a most pernicious aud in 1 ; L in l practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitating ami counterfeiting tlie exterior appearance and precautionary labels of popular drugs, medicumonta, and other ai tii l 5 ot personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon tin l well acquired reputation ol an enterprising trader, phl nung off most destructive and worthless compounds, t., the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to tie chaiactei of the man who has expended thousandsuf dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem am! demand. These potty larceny thieves are the pest of in. hotiurable dealers and traders, and the trade is as mmii highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their neighbor s purse; in fact they are beneath the burglar and highwayman in dignity—for these Natter felons e.\- liilut a bravery or recklessness of cliaracTev in nowise dis tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punish incut commensurate with the cowardice of their crime’ We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing a spurious counterfeit of Udolplio Wolfe’s grheiiiiuii Schnapps. Tho labels were imitated perfectly, with (he slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid ance of the law against counterfeiting; the buttles wore very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im pose Upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man who perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber i Assuredly lie is; fur, as Mr. W olfe lias expended large sums to bring his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand, that demand may be justly considered a part of liis cap ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his reputa tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stoleu a barrel of his schnapps in hulk. And to this crime he adds a fur ther one ot defrauding the community by giving them a ruinous article for tho money they intended to expend tor a commodity in which they had confidence. And, further, every man who participates indirectly in the fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an ofi'en der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tuv remedy ot Mr. Wolfe should lie in his hulding all confer ued up to the contempt of the community thus swindled by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon y their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe will obtain names, not only of tlie concoctors of these counterfeits, bat of every man offering them for sale, ami then publish them to the world; for iiis own reputation and the health of the community demand that all part; should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration.
