Saturday Morning, Nov. S, 1850.
LAIIUUST CITY CIRCULATION.
The Criminal Docket
Os Muscogee Superior Court will, we are in
formed, be taken up on Monday next.
Look Out for the Circus 1
Eldred’s magnificent Menagerie and Circus
will exhibit in this place as stated in their ad
vertisement. Sam Long is a-long, and there
will be any quantity of fun! Go and sec .’
Those Cigars.
If ever any body wants to know what caused
so much pleasure in the Sun office on yester
day, wo can inform them it was all caused by
the reception of some delightful cigars from
Mr. James Estevez! Don't take our word but
go and try them. See his card.
Change.
We learn from the Messenger that Col. Joel
Higgs, has withdrawn from the Montgomery
Mail, and is succeeded by Mr. Heury F. Coyne.
Mr. Coyne is a practical printer of good taste,
long experience, and great industry, and just
such a printer as Jonce has needed for some
time. We wish the new partner every pecuni
ary success.
Alabamu River.
The Montgomery Mail says at 5 o’clock on
Thursday evening the rise in the Alabama
ltivcr had attained about five foet and
swelling. We learn that the crocks of Shelby
county emptying into tho Coosa were full yes
terday.
The light draught steamer Eclipse is at our
wharf.
The lion. J. J. Seibele, U. S. Minister to Bel
gium arrivodinMontgomcryonthe4thinst., and
mot with a most hearty reception from his nu
merous personal frionds. We are glad to learn
that he is in the enjoyment of fine health.
Decatur County Superior Court.
Wo learn from the Argus that the negro Jes
se, convicted at tho last term of tho Court for
assault with intent to commit a rape, and who
was granted a now trial by the Supreme Court,
was again convioted, and is to be hung on the
10th of next month.
We also perceive that the firstpannel recom
mends tho abolishment of tho Inferior Court as
it exists, and that tho duties devolve on one
Judge, and ho be compensated for his services
by salary or fixed fees. And they also recom
mend a change in the Supreme Court of the
State, and our circuit Judges, in yearly ses
sion, be substituted iu lieu thereof; that our
circuits bo diminished, and that tho olection of
J udges bo changed from the people back to the
Legislature—increase of salaries—and to al
ternate on the different circuits.
Whiskey’s Doings—Fatal Affray.
We learn from the Cassville (Ga.) Standard
of the 6th inst., that, on Tuesday last, at the
election in that place, a difficulty occurred be
tween Marshal lleifner and Albert Thomas and
resulted iu tho latter shooting the former dead.
Thomas is said to bo seriously if not fatally
stubbed. Whiskey was the whole cause as they
wero both of one party, lleifner leaves a
young wife and one child.
Business of Columbus.
Our streets during this week presented a
lively appearance. Cotton iu übundatice sel
ling at good prices, and our merchants in eve
ry line just as busy as bees inputting up or
ders and supplying wauts of customers. Our
market is bountifully supplied with every
thing, and those who want to learn where to
get bargains will of course consult the adver
tising columns of tho Daily Sun.
The Daily Sun.
It should be remembered that it is the only
daily iu this city —that it has telegraphic dis
patches iu every issue—reliable statements of
tho Cotton and Grocery markets —all local
items of interest—brief and choice selections
—and is ahead of all competition in reaching
subscribers. It will please. Try it!

General Walker.
General Walker’s recent victories in Nicara
gua, while adding fresh laurels to his victo
rious wreath, are considered but tho forerun
ners of still more signal triumphs yet to come
and the future that opens before him seems
more glorious than aught yet accomplished.
The consolidation of the neighboring Repub
lics, and the reforms which each successive
victory will enable him to push forward, are
earnestly to he desired. The New Orleans
Delta, in speaking of Walker in connection
with his lato victories at Granada and Mas
say a, says:
One who has but very recently returned
from Nicaragua, and whose name holds a
proud rank iu the hearts of all true Southern
men, conversed with us but a few hours past
concerning Gen. Walker. He describes him
as a man of mon, rich in all moral greatness
—calm, steadfast and true to his purpose—
speaking but little of the future, but advanc
ing ever bravely towards it. To such a man
nothing is impossible. His Southern heart
beats for his native country. The steps that
he is taking will lead to her honor and renown.
The dullards who love the chink of the dollar
better than their children’s safety, are not with
him, but the brave South is.
Already has General Walker mado Nicara
gua a home for Southern men. The State will
protect them and their property. But a far
wider field opens to them. The narrow strip
of land that passes by the name of Central
America is but an outlet—and what an oulet!
Mexico, the fair West Indian Isle—pining for
a friendly hand to raise them into new life and
grandeur—the mighty shores of the Pacific,
where civilization shall yet build its choicest
home, arc all before them. While the North
gloating over the rnnshroom men, bought on a
dunghill with a spurious dollar, let the South
contemplate her lofty destiny—a destiny which
cannot bo marred if she be only truo to her
self and her glorious sens.
Will is Bower.
One morning in the year 1850 a young peas
ant girl obtained an interview with tho great
vicaire of the cathedral of one of the Western
cities of France. In a manner that was at
once modest and firm, she told him that hav
ing heard of his kindness in procuring situa
tions for governesses, she had come to him in
the hope of obtaining some employment.
“But, my child,” replied the venerable ab
be, “you cannot teach without a diploma, and
in order to obtain a diploma, yon must go
through an examination. What instruction
have you received ?
“In my childhood, Monsieur I’Abbe, 1 learn
ed to read and write, and then J served my ap
prenticeship to a mantaumaker. 1 am con
stantly employed with my needle, and earn
about three pence a day ; but this does not do,
and so 1 wish to become a governess.”
“My poor child, to read and write is some
thing it is true ; but is not enough. You must
know how to spell ; and must know grammar
and geography, and something more than the
first four rules of arithmetic, all thoroughly ;
and you must have some idea of composi
tion.”
“ I think, Monsieur, l’Abbe, that I could
pass an examination on these things tolerable
well, for when my day’s work was over, I have
nlways devoted part of the night to studying
the books, which I contrived to buy out of my
savings. On Sundays, too, I could read. I
have come on purpose to beg that you will be
so good as to examine me, and tell me wheth
er I may hope to obtain the diploma of the
first degree.”
“The first degree ? but you do not know
what it is, my poor child ; it would bo impos
sible. The examination is very difficult. You
must know arithmetic perfectly; also some
thing of geometry and cosmography; you must
understand music—both singing and playing
on an instrument. It is not likely that you
have learned the piano or the harp.”
“1 have not; but Mouseur l’Abbe, does the
law say positively the piano or tho harp ? ”
“No. The law says simply that it is neces
sary to know enough of music to be able to
play on an instrument. Those I mentioned
are most usually learned at schools—that is
the reason 1 named them : but’l think that per
haps they might be satisfied with the giutar.”
“Well, Monseur, as the law does not name
any particular instrument, I am satisfied ; for
I lmvo taught myself to play on one instru
ment.”
“And what is that? ”
“Hero it is;” and the girl took from her
pocket a—flageolet!
At this sight the Abbe bust into a peal of
laughter. She colored deeply, but imagining
no doubt, that he did not believe in her musi
cal powers, she raised the instrument to her
lips, and tho Abbe stood amazed.
The excellent priest, who had himself been
one of the people, judged rightly that a peas
ant, who had taught herself not only to play so
well, could not be an ordinary person. He
asked her ago. She was twenty-four.
“I will examine you now,” said he.
The replies of tho young peasant were as
tonishing, and he wondered, but in silence,
at the knowledge which the poor country
dressmaker had obtained by her own unaided
offorts.
“You may,” said lie, with perfect coufi
dene, present yourself boforo the commission
of examiners; 1 will arrange that you shall
not be required to play. This fla’goolet, on
which your peform so well, would excite
laughter and witticism, which must be avoid
ed.”
Tho young peasant went before the commis
sioners, and all were amazed at tho variety of
tho real and profound knowledge which she
had acquired iu her evenings, and pondered
on during her long days of toil. Received by
acclamation, sho now (December, 1850) is at
tho head of an establishment.

Waked up the Wrong Customer.
The Milton, (N. G.) Chronicle has the follow
ing relative to the “Smith Family” of Vocalists:
“John Smith ” seeing the notice in our last
paper setting forth that the Smith Family” (of
Vocalists) would henr of something to their
interest by addressing the Postmaster of this
place, writos to us that he is a member of said
“Family” aud that if there is a legacy on hand
he is in. We are able to inform “John” that
there is a small leyacy depending, to the
amount of $8 50, due us by said “Family” for
printing Concert Bills, in the spring of 1855,
which sum tho “Family professed to be'unnble
to pay after they got the bills, and begged “a
few days” indulgence, which being granted has
kept the “Family” out of our hearing from
that day to this. “John” can come forward
aud claim the “legacy.”

A German paper asserts that prussic acid
only causes suspension of life at first, and that
one who takes it can be restored to animation
by tho pouring of acetate of potash and salt
dissolved in water on the head and spine. Rab

We see, by announcement in the Washington
Union, that Ex-Governor Bell, of Texas, was

From Boston we learn that a largo cavalcade
will meet Mr. Sumner on his return home,‘at
Brookline, on the city lines, on the same spot
where Washington and Lafayette were receiv

name of the State.
The powder mill of Nathan Pratt, at South
Acton, Massachusetts, exploded on Saturday,

The criminal calendar of the Court of Geu
cral Sessions, New York, for last month, com
prises 77 cases. It is probable that Charles
B. Huntington, distinguished for his whole

said to be nearly complete.
To ascertain the length of the day and night
any time of the year, double the time of the
sun’s rising, which gives the length of the
night, aud double the time of its setting, which
gives the length of the day. This is a little
method of “doing the thing ” which few read
ers have been aware of.
It has often been observed at a public enter
tainment, that when there is anything partic
ular to be seen, and every body wants particu
larly to see it. every body immediately stands
up and effectually prevents any body from see
ing anything.
It is stated that at the commencement of the
present year there were in the United States
about twenty-two thousand miles of railroad,

It is estimated that these locomotives consume
between four and five millions cords of wood
annually, the product of at least one hundred
thousand acres of woodbind.
Singularly Interesting Experiment.
At Auburn, N. Y., an examination was made
by Dr. Charles P. Sandfoid, with a view of tes
ting the truth of an article published some
time since by a celebrated English physician
and surgeon, which asserted that the lastscene
viewed by a murdered man would remain im
pressed upon the retina of the eye, as does the
impression upou the daguerreotype ortho pho
tograph. Dr. Sandford made a dissection of
the eye of Mr. J. 11. Beadle, lately killed there,
and succeeded in bringing the retina, one of
tho most delicate of human forms, being an
expansion of the optic nerve, under the view
of a microscope. There was nothing on the re
tina examined which would lead to the detec
tion of the victim’s murderer, but there was
that impression upon it which sufficiently es
tablished the fact that the retina of au eye,
with a common microscope, reveals a most
wonderful as well as a beautiful sight, and
that in this instance we disoover, as upon a
daguerreotype plate, plainly marked impres
sions at once interesting and startling to be
hold. Wo putthesefacts upou record withaview
to arouse interest in the subject, that future
experiments may be made, and the cause of

From the New York Mercuiy.
Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commoditus,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mor
al BentiU of the community is called upon to suppress.
would particularly notice a most pernicious aud infani.-o
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitating ninl
counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, medicaments, and other article
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon the
well acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal
ming off most destructive and worthless compounds, lo
the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but.to the
character ot the man who has expended thousand., of
dollars iu bringing the genuine article into esteem anil
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
honarable dealers and traders, aud the trade is as much
highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor s purse; intact thev are beneath the burglar
and highwayman iu dignity—for these latter felons ex
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise die
tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punidi
ment commensurate with tire cowardice of their criiu-
We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe’s Scheidam
Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with tin
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare 1 to im
pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man vb
perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber? Assuredly In
's; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to brim
his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may he justly considered a part of his cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his repntn
tion is as much of a thief as if he had stolen a barrel of
his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he adds a fur
ther one of defrauding the 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 xvlio participates indirectly in the
fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an offen
der us the principal who planned the imposition. Tne
remedy ot Mr. \\ olfe should lie in his holding all concer
ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon by
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the coneoctors of these
counterfeits, but of every man offering them fur Hale, hi,
then publish them to the world: for his own reputation
and the health of the community demand that all partiis
should he nailed to the pillory of popular execration.

AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.
1\ lion an enterprising man strikes out anew busines*,
to the establishment of which he gives his industry, time,
talents and pecuniary means, can anythingbe more con
temptible than to have another steal in, and, uuder spe
cious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article,
and endenvor to obtain their patronage? Pray, what
differ ell cl* is there, so far as tin- honesty of the tiling ‘■
concerned, betweed purloining the business by which
citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the Dread
itself? A common thief, if lie takes without leave, how
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker’s shop, is appre
hended and condemned to tin* penitentiary for (hiring in
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite: hut pul
a respectable looking coat on his hack and a few dollar
in Ilia pocket, and he may, with impunity, tiny, even
with the applause of his fellows, hv knavery, forgery r
other infamous means, take the business of nn tione-f
man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this i*
wrong. Some years since a gentleman of this city (IM'd
pho Wolio) introduced to the citizens of the United Stsf--
ii medicated article of gin. which was highly approved l>v
professional gentlemen us a superior lonic and denlwtrii
ent. and tiie knowledge of which ho, by advertisemeni
and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country
So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business column
nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely i”
have handsome returns for tho time and money wliM
he had expended, they set about forging his labels Hint
palming off upon the people detestable and poisoia-ie
ciimpounds which they have the hardihood to call “Sclih 1
dam Sidinapps.” Iu some instances titer have gone 11
far as to put Wolfe's name to their villainous liijnids.--
As this horde are growing hold in their rascalities, it ‘
time the public in town niid country were put upon their
guard. Consumers should be sure that they puivlw
the genuine article, or else their health may he irrcpiiM
bly injured by using the horrible stuff that uiwcruiiulc"-
men, because they can buy it cheap, will offer as the g r
nine article. Pure ttcheidnui Schnapps cau only Is- d’
tnined at the stores of respectable merchants and drug
gists, iu town and country, and at the establishment t
Udolpho lVolfc, Nos. 18, 21) and 22 Beaver Street, in tin
city, where it is gotten up exclusively. We think it a du
ty which Mr. Wolfe owes to himself aud the oomniuiiit)
to publish, by name, the rascals who are thus attempting
to defraud both him and those who would he his easte
rner*. lie should not permit his modesty to hold him
lawk from making so righteous un exjiost*.
