We learn from the Pittsburg Post, that the
fine new Steamer Chewala, built at Pittsburg
the past summer under the superintendence of
Oapt. Mehiu, for the Chattahoochee River, was
loading on the 20th ult. preparatory to leaving
for Apalachicola on the first rise.
“ Something Excellent.”
Under this head, in our advertising columns,
will bo found the advertisement, of our friend,
James Estevez. That lie will fulfil all he

Uiiciiannn Elected.
The telegraph, yesterday, brought us the
intelligence that Buchanan had carried Indiana,
N. Jersey and Delaware, which added to Penn
sylvania, and all the slave States, except Ma
ryland, gives him ICO electoral votes—eleven
more than are necessary to secure his election.
Mr. Fillmore lias carried Maryland, and it
is very probable Fremont has carried the re
maining eleven .States.
Admitted to the liar.
On Monday last, .1. J. Slade and William
Turner, of this city, and Richard K. Kennon,

Neutrality of I he (Columbus) Rally Sun.
Barbour County, Nov. 4.
Messrs. Editors: —To-day the canvass for the
Presidency will be closed, and if “Buck” is
not elected, “ The Sun” may shine on all par
ties alike until tho strong side is again fully
ascertained. But, be that as it may, 1 hope
that the true American Party is now satisfied
with tho neutrality of the one-horse, one-sided,
Democratic, Anti-American “ Daily Sun.”
And, hereafter, when we wish to read or
publish in a Democratic newspaper, why not
patronize the “Weekly” or “ Tri-Weekly ”
“ Times ,y Sentinel.” Its thrusts, although
keen and heavy, are niauly and open. It has
not deceived any by pretended neutrality.
For one, 1 shall stop the “Sun” and patron
ise the “Enquirer” and “ Times Jj’ Sentinel.”
Respectfully, Fair Play.
[We nrc far from encouraging any proscrip
tive spirit, and do not wish to be understood
as seconding any recommendation made in that
spirit by our correspondent. But at the same
time we do not feel justified in suppressing, ou
that account, the communication of a gentle
man who feels himself and his party aggrieved
by the courss of unother paper.— Ed. E.nu ] —
Columbus Enquirer.
The above, which wc find in the Enquirer of
yesterday, is, we beliove, the third squib from
a correspondent, purporting to reside in Bar
bour county. The “Barbour county” iu which
they originated, we are satisfied is in Colum
bus, Ga., and the squib tho emeuation of the
distorted braiu of one who feels that the pecu
niary interest of a certain old fogy newspaper
in this city is in danger of being affected by
the Young America strides the Sun is making
to popular favor. We have uot a subscriber in
Barbour county who could be induced to be
without the daily rays of tho Bun. We had
two failures this fall to renew at Eufaula, one
of which stated as a reason, that the Sun was
too democratic. Since that time our list at
that place has doubled.
\\ o consult no one as to our notions of what
constitutes neutrality. We have heretofore, and
shall continue to exercise our judgement in this
respect. Tho best evidence of public appreci
ation, is its fast extending circulation.
Wo have nor space to waste iu
\ such a controversy, and shall take no further
notice of the matter.

Foreign Correspondence.
London, Friday, Oct. 17th, 185 G.
On’ Wednesday last, the Times, in ouo of the
most conspicuous portions of its pages, gave a
long narrative, by an “eye witness,” of a rail
way trip through part of tho State of Georgia,
U. S., which has already created a profound
sensation throughout the United Kingdom.—
The narrative in question is briefly to this ef
fect: That the “eye-witness” left Macon, in
Georgia, to proceed to Augusta, in Georgia, at
5 o’clock at night and reached the destination
at 3 the following morning. Two young wo
men and a man were among the passengers.—
Owing to a flirtation on tho part of one of the
young women, who had engaged to this rail
way trip by 8., but had subsequently accepted
an otter to the same effect from A, a quarrel
sprung up between A. and 8., tho latter hav
ing joined before the cars started. A duel was
arranged between them, in the negotiation of
which a third party, C. assisted. During the
discussion, a second duel was got up by an old
man of 60 and one of 45, who, calling on the
conductor of the train to stop, they got out
and wero left behind.
When the next station was reached, a tele
graphic message reported the old mail had
been killed. He had left a little boy of six
years old behind in the train; lie was at this
time asleep. C. who had as a negotiate made
himself very active, was irritated because A
and B declined fighting at once, and used lan
guage which affronted B. A challenge onsuod;
the train is stopped; B and C get out, and the
conductor waits the result; JJ is killed, and C
comes back into the train. B’s father being
there, is offered by C his revenge for his sou’s
death, but he declines being killed too. Then
C makes an oration, in which lie calls the
young woman a strumpet, says lie willdeuounce
her as such wherever he meets her. The
young woman violently defends herself, and
calls upon the passengers to take her part i. e.
tight a duel for her. At length, B’s father suc
cumbing to her urgent importunities consents
to fight, and challenge C, who now refuses,
and brands IJ’s father as a coward for not ac
cepting liis first challenge. A young man D,
now enters from the smoking saloon he recog
nizes the young woman, who enlists him as a
partizan, and lie challenges C. They fight in
the smoking saloon with Monto Christo or
noiseless pistols. All that is henceforward
heard of I) is his death cry—his body is put
among the luggage—tho youg woman, grown
desperate, awakes the little boy, takes him into
the private apartment, informs him of tlie
death of liis father, tells him he was killed by
C, and counsels him to tell all his friends that
they may avenge his father’s death.
The hoy shrieks, with heart broken grief de
nounces U. and declares he will acquaint all
his friends that (’. has killed his father. A
companion of C. now interferes, snatches the
boy from the young woman, and repeats to the
boy tho actual circumstances of liis father's
death, but the hoy still cries bitterly and accu
ses C, whereupon the companion having failed
to pacify him, threatens to murder him if he is
not quiet. Tho young woman now makes pas
sionate appeals to the passengers to save the
boy, and a man rises up, and remonstrating
with C’s companion, restores the boy to the
youug woman. But the boy is beyond pacifi
cation; he still shrieks and denounces C. —
Whereupon, C’s companion seizes the boy,
takes him to the platform, murders him, and
flings his body on the railway. This incident
caused the eye witness to faiut, and when he
or she recovered; B’s father, tho stranger who
had restored tho boy to the young woman, C.
and his companion were leaving the train to
fight a duel. B’s father and the stranger were
killed, and C. and his companion came back;
but tho conductor started the train just as C
set his foot on it, so his companion was left
behind. C tried to clamber over the engine to
stop it, but the conductor and the engine driver
seized, secured and placed him in a loose box
for the remainder of the journey.
The “eye witness” states that the authorities
of Augusta took no notice of these events. No
journal published any accout of it, and such
encounters arc frequent. Os this statement
the Times observes that, although no one,
of all a journalist, likes to be hoaxed, it will
be glad to find, so far as this story goes, that
such a wicked prank lias been played upon it;
but it declares of this narrative that “its inser
tion was delayed for sonio days that we might
obtain satisfactory vouchers for the writers re
spectability, sainty and truthfulness: and on
these points we have no doubt. Short of a
miracle, we never read anything so simply sta
ted, yet so incredible in its substances. Yet
we arc told that notliiug but tho terror which
possesses peaceful men in the States prevents
tho publication of more horrors of this sort.
It is impossible to describe tho sensation
this narration has created—tho profound emo
tion it has cxcitod. A horrified incredulity
conies nearest to the sentiment which prevails.
“Can it by any possibility be true, or even
near the truth,” is asked again and again.
“If this is the esoteric life of American, where
is tho civilization so much boasted of by
Americans ? ” is the cry in all directions. The
first question to ho satisfactorily answerod, is
whether the story is a scandalous fabricaton,
or if it is based on events that actually occur
red. It is for the Btato of Georgia to deny
and disprove it, or to give to the civilized na
tions of the world its notion of tho value at
which it estimates the lives of its citizens, and
the precautions it adopts to preserve them.
The story on all sides it received with very
great doubt, even though ondorsed by the
Times, which possesses vouchers, but never
theless its effect is of the most damaging char
acter ; and, being witness to the very general
sensation of horror it has excited in London
circles, 1 have deemed it my duty to refer to
it at this length, to show that its contradiction
and refutation is a matter not, for the honor of
the nation, to he treated with apathy.
Abovo we give tho London Correspond
ence of a Philadelphia paper, tho substance of
a most remarkable hoax lately palmed off on
the London Times. To show that this corres
pondent has correctly reportod the comiuuiea
tlon published in the Times, wc append the
beginning aud conclusion of tho communica
tion :
We left Macon Georgia, at 6 P. M., of tho
28th of August last, in the train for Augusta,
Georgia. The train was composed of two
cars tho first for the mail and luggage, with a
few seats for smokers, tho last for passengers ;
iu this car there were about twenty-five per
sons (the narrator being one), of whom three
wore women. Os thoso three, one was an el
derly person, traveling alone: she went
through to Augusta, and never stirred or
spoke all the way; of the other two, who were
well dressed and rospectnblc looking, one ap
peared to be near thirty ; aud the other about
twenty years of age. These two enrne iu to
gether, accompanied by a well-dressed man,
apparently between twenty live and thirty ;
ho seated them immediately behind me, and
look bis scat alougsido of me. From this
proximity 1 could not avoid hearing their con
versation, and before the train left 1 was made
aware ol some anticipated disturbance.
There shortly appeared another man of
about the same age as the one beside me, who,
after noticing and saying a few words to the ]
two female companions, passed on and took
liis seat on the opposite side of the car, two
benches in advance of the one 1 was seated
on. He turned the back of the bench, so that
he faced the two women and their companion.
In so doing he found himself seated face to j
face with a tall, muscular, and hard visaged ‘
man of about 50, of a mein by no means re- :
pulsive or disagreeable. It soon became known I
to me, by the conversation of the two women, |
that the man who had thus passed on and I
seated himself was the person from whom, or j
witli whom, they feared some disturbance, i
Nothing occurred, however, until some time !
after our departure, when the conductor came
into tho car to call for the tickets ; in so doing
he came first to this man, (or B, as I will call
him,) who, being addressed by the conductor,
said to him twice in a loud voice, so that all j
the persons in the car might hear him, “Tell !
those two ladies opposite that I have their
tickets in my pocket”—which message was
delivered aloud by the conductor. The diffi
culty that existed and the danger of some and s
turbaneo now became publicly known, and at
tracted the attention of B’s vis-a vis, (orC.)
who, questioning 15, learnt from him, as did
every one iu the cars who chose to listen, that
he had a quarrel with the man who had intro
duced the two women, (or A.) Then lie rela
ted that lie was a Frenchman, a barber and
hair dresser, keeping a shop in Macon, &c. I
From liis conversation, and the conversation of
the two women behind me, I gathered that
both A and B had been meeting the young wo
man at balls and parties, and paying attention
to her. The rest is the common story of flir
tation, the consequences of which are shown
in this narrative to have been terrible, &c.
The communication concludes as follows:
1 have thus given as plain a narrative, and
as short as I possibly can. I know none of
the parties by name, nor any of my fellow
passengers, and this is not surprising, for
family names are seldom used when traveling
in that country. Neither have I seen any ac
count of this affair in the Georgia papers, so
that I nro ignorant of what became of C, who
was secured, or of his companion who was
left behind, but, if I may judge from the silence
of the papers, I should say they were not
brought to justice.
tn Augusta I heard a person say that these
were not uncommon incidents, and that scarce
ly a week passed without some fatal encounter
on that road.

Scotch Marriages
The close of this year will witness the plac
ing of anew and almost insurmountable dam
to “the course of true love” running north
word, from the unkind obstacles opposed by
parents and guardians so frequently to its
“smooth” flow over the brink. An era still
more opposed to the bliss of lovers than those
iron ages of the world which poets have so
long and justly upbraided, will date its com
mencement from the end of the year—we can
scarcely call it of grace—one thousand eight
hundred and fifty six. After that epoch a res
idence of fifteen days on the further side of
that little river which used once to be hailed
as the Styx of the runaway lovers’ elysium,
will be obligatory, on the part, at least, of one
of the votaries of the once rapid Caledonian
llymcnl And this is an age of railroads and
electric telegraphs! As if science had not al
ready put too many means of interference in
the hands of unsympathizing greybeards, but
the young peoplo themselves must be brought
up at a rude check, and forced to take a time
for reflection, which in all such cases is so
much better and customarily shunned ! We
hope, however, that there is some clause in the
Act of Union between the countries to baffle
tho grasp of any unfeeling relative’s authority
in reclaiming such loving fugitives as may be
willing and able to undergo it naturalization of
a fortnight in a Scotch village. Meanwhile, it
is not impossible that certain dexterous Love
laces, aware of the chances afforded by delay
may take advantage of the provision of the
Act now contemplated by the austere sagacity
of its contriver. Ladies, beware! therefore,
say we, and unless you possess very substan
tial reason indeed to confide iu the constancy
of your inamoratos, take care how you run
the hazards of a probation equivalent almost
to the duration of an ordinary honeymoon !

“Mr. Speaker: Sir, our fellow-citizen, Mr.
Silas Higgins, who was lately a member of
this branch of the legislature, is dead, and he
died yesterday in the forenoon. lie had the
brown-creaters (bronchitis), and was an un
common individual, liis character was good
up to tho time of his death, and he never lost
his voice. He was fifty-six years old, and was
taken sick before he died at liis boarding-house,
where board can be had at a dollar and seven
ty-five cents a week, washing and lights inclu
ded. He was an ingenious creator, aud in the
early part of his life had a farther and mother.
Ilis uncle, Timothy Higgins, served under
General Washington, who was buried soon af
ter his death, with luilitnay honors, and sever
al guns were burst in firing salutes. Sir, Mr.
Speaker—General Washington would have vo
ted for tho tariff of 1846 if lie had been alive
and hadn’t a’died sometime before hand. Now,
Mr. Speaker, such being the character of Gen

Facts about Presidents.
Four of the first seven wero from Virginia.
Two of the same name were from Massachu
setts, and soventh from Tennessee. All but
one were 06 years old, on leaving oftice, hav
ing served two terms; and one of them, who
luid served but ono term, would have been 66
years of age, at the end of another. Three
of the seven died on the 4th of July, and two
of them oil the same day and year. Two of
them were on the sub-committee of three that
drafted the Declaration of Independence, aud
these two died ou the same day and year, and
ou the anniversary of the Declaratian of In
dependence, and just half a century from
the day of the Declaration. Tlie names of
throe of the seven ended in son. yet neith
er of these transmitted his name to a son. In
respect to the name of all, it may he said, in
conclusion, the initials of two of the seven
wero tho same : and the initials of still two
others that they wero tho same. Tho remain
ing one, who stands alone in this particular,
stands alone also in the love and admiration of
his countrymen, and the civilized world—Wash

aud that son wns also President.

Late Duel.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 2, 1856.
To the Editors of South Sido Democrat: —
You will no doubt, have had, previous to this
reaching you, a whole series of reports rela
tive to the recent duel between Roger A.
Pryor, of the Richmond Enquirer, and Dr.
Oswald Finney, Senator from the Accoinac
district. The following particulars are relia
ble : On Friday afternoon Dr. Finney, whilst
at tho Exchange Hotel, became very talkative
with some acquantances and a group of by
standers, on tlie political subjects of the day,
alluding to persons and particulars, and refer
ring to Mr. Pryor, iu no very becoming lan
guage, branding him as “coward,” &c. Mr.
Pryor, healing of Dr. F’s remarks, proceeded
to the hotel, to learn if the report was true,
and for the purpose of chastisng him with a
small cane. Here he learned Dr. F. was at
dinner, so at Mr. P’s request Mr. Irving wait
ed on Dr. F., informing him that Mr. I*, wish
ed to sec him.
Understanding that Dr. F. was armed, Mr.
P. procured a pistol, and, on Dr. F. coming
out of the hotel on the side-walk, Mr. P. met
him, and demanded to know if what he had
heard was true ; Dr. F. answered in the affima
tive ; whereupon Mr. I’, struck him with liis
open hand, then stepping hack and drawing
his pistol. Being informed that Dr. F. was
unarmed, he put his pistol in his pocket and
repaired to his room.
That night Dr. F. sent Mr. P. a challenge
by the hands of his friend, Dr. A. Marshall,
ami the next morning the parties met at the
back of the Holywood Cemetery, on the canal,
in Henrico couuty, some two miles from the
city, where at ten paces they stood and fired.
Mr. P. firing at the word “one,” the ball pass
ing on the hip and around tho back of his an
tagonist, where it came through and fell on
the ground, causing a flesh wound. The lire
of Dr. F. laid no effect on Mr. P., and all par
ties were then driven home. Dr. F’s condi
tion is not dangerous.
The city was in considerable excitement
during Saturday. More Anon.
Educational Convention.
The North Carolina Educational Convention
met Inst week at Salisbury, and the members
formed themselvet into “The North Carolina

Professor Hendrick was in attendance as a

the eilizeus did him the honor to express their
disgust ot the man and liis opinions in rather
a riotous manner, thus affording him what he
so anxiously hopes for—a sort of martyrdom.

From the Tumpu Peninsular.
Gen. Carter is making arrangements for a
scout by about half the State troops. It is to
be hoped that the Indians may be run from their
hiding places, and once more compelled to op
erate actively. The longer they are allowed to
remain quiet, the better will they be prepared
to meet the issue when presouted. Our hope
to exterminate them is in “pushing measures”
in such quick succession as to assure them of
our ability to chastise them whereever and
whenever they may be found, and our intention
to hot-press them until terms of removal are
agreed to, or the last “red skin” exterminated.

Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which tlie mor
al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, we
would particularly notice amost pernicious and infamous
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitatiugmul
counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, medicamenta, and other articles
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon the
well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal
ming otr most destructive and worth less compound-, t
the sore detriment not only of tlie consumer, hut to the
character of'the man who has expended thousands ut
dollars ill bringing the genuine article into esteem and
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as urn’ ll
highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor’s purse ; in fact they are beneath tbe burglar
and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons ex
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing tlie mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. And ought they not lie rewarded with a punish
ment commensurate with tlie cowardice of their crime!
We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe’s Sciieuta
Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with tin 1
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; tlie bottles were
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im
pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man win
perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly lie
is: for, as Mr. Wolfe lias expended large sums to bring
liis genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may bo justly considered ii part of ids cap
ital ill trade, aud a fellow stealing a part of his repnts
tion is as much of a thief as if lie had stolen a barrel rs
liis schnapps in hulk. And to this crime lie adds a fur
ther one of defrauding tho community by giving them a
ruinous article for the money they intended to expend
for a commodity in which they had confidence. And.
further, every man who participates indirectly in tin-
Iraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an often
del- as the principal who planned the imposition. Tne
remedy of Air. Wolfe should lie in his holding ail cower
ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon by
their noxious composition. We trust that Air. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of the—
counterfeits, but of every limn offering them for sale, on l
then publish them to tho world; for his own reputation
and the health of tlie community demand that all purtio
should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration.

AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
When an enterprising man strikes out anew business,
to tho establishment of which he gives his industry, time
talents and pecuniary means, can anything be more con
temptible than to have another steal in, and. under ;|f
eious pretexts, hold out to the public tin inferior urticlv.
and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Pray, what
difference is there, so far as the honesty of the tiling ‘*
concerned, betweed purloining the business by which a
citizen hopes to make his bread ami stealing tbe bn-” “
itself? A common thief, if ho takes without leave, bow
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, isapi” -
bended and condemned to the penitentiary for daring a
a surreptitious manner to appease liis appetite: but p" 1
a respectable looking coat ou his back and a few dollar
in his pocket, aud he may, with impunity, nay. even
with the applause of liis follows, by knavery, forgery ‘’
other infamous menus, take the business of an hq" l ' ,(
man from him, and go unscathed of Justice. All tbi- ‘*
wrong. Some years since a gent, email of this eitv i1 ,lui ’
plio Welle) introduced to the citizens of tin- United Sister
a medicated article of giu, which was highly approved by
professional gentlemen ns n superior tonic and dcob-trii
out, and the knowledge of which lie, by ndvertisenieiii
and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country—
So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business coinin' 1 ’
nit.v as honest men. saw that Sir. Wolfe wns likely',
have handsome returns for the time and money wind;
he had expended, they set about forging liis lals-ls
palming off upon the peoplo detestable and pei- t’ ‘
compounds which they have the hardihood to cull “>*' ll,l
dam Hehinipps.’’ iu some instances they have gone ■’
far as to put Wolfe's uame to their villainous liquid”
As this horde are growing hold in their rascalities, j*
time the public in town and country were put upon tb-•
guard. Consumers should he sure that they purrha
the genuine article, or else their health may beirr<*p s: ”
bly injured by using tlie horrible stuff that unscrupulo"’
nu-n, bemuse they cun buy it cheap, w ill offer as tlie ge'e
nine article. Pure Scheidam Schnapps can only b*’
tabled ut the stores of respectable merchants and drug
gists, in town and country, and at tbe establishment
Udolpho Wolfe, Noe. 18, 20 and 22 Beaver street, in ‘
city, where it is gotten up exclusively. AVe think it an”
ty which Air. Wolfe owes to himself and the common’
to publish, by name, the rascals w ho are thus attempt'"-
to defraud botli him and those who would be hi” <jU”
mers. lie should not permit liis modesty to liuld “
back from making so righteous an expose.
