OOLXJMBXJS: Friday Morning, Nov. 7, 1850. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. Dead. Mr. Kligpivy who was shot ou Tuesday last iu Girard, Ala., by Mr. Washington Blackburn, died ou yesterday morning at 0£ o’clock. We understand that Mr. Blackburn is at lib erty and that no warrant has been issued for his arrest Hugh P. Robinson is announced as a candi date for Deputy Marshal of this City. He has proved himself an indefatigable oflicer and ca pable to fulfill the duties of that responsible position. The Steamboat Chewula. 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 promises, all admit. Give him a cull and sat isfy yourselves of the truth of what we say ! 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, of Harris, stood examination before the Supc rion Court, now sitting in this county, and wore admitted to the practieo of law in the scvcrel courts of this State. * Gono after Price.

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. From thi! North American and U. 8. Gazette. 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 ! . Alabama Senatorial Eloquence. “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.

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.

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 Educational Association,” to meet annually. Professor Hendrick was in attendance as a delegate, and we regret to learn that some of 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. Let the poor devil go. He is nobody. Don’t elevate him into somebody by any sort of no tice.— Wilmington Journal. 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.

For sale by all respectable Grocers and Druggists Read the opinions of tlie New York Press. UDOLPHO WOLFE, 22 Beaver St., New York. From the New York Mercury. 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. From the New York Dispatch. 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?
