COLUMBUS:
Monday Morning, Nov. 10, 1650.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Another Circua.
Spaulding & Rogers’ Circus will exhibit in
this city as announced in their advertisement.
They promise n rare treat to those who may
favor them with a visit. We shall go !
Side Walks—Their Obstruction*.
To one who is compelled to perigreuate at a
late hour of night, the condition of our pave
ments, and divers obstacles to safe locomotion
are very serious things.
We cannot devise why they are allowed to
remain to the painful detriment of every one
who, by force of circumstances, is compelled
to “take the people’s line.” There is a city
(Irdinauce prohibiting the evil. And, forsooth,
valuable lives (such as ours for instance),
might be sacrificed, or at any rate feet and
shins must suffer! The excuse that the box
es and benches serve for beds for those who
have “looked deeply upon the wine when it
was red, is an effeminate and insufficient apol
ogy:
Kind Mai shall do remove them!
Or else some passor-by,
May O il to stride above them,
And fall and black his rye!
Not Him
The Price mentioned in a former issue as
having been arrested nt Rome, Ga., wasnotthe
ono the hands of justice desired. Mr. Robin
son, ns an officer, evinced the proper willing
ness to do his duty, by his unsuccessful “voy
ago of discovery.”
We learn Mr. Kdgur is slowly improving.
• . Rain! Ratal
Early on Saturrday the “windows of the hea
vens” were again opened and we were favored
for a good part of the day, with just such a
rain as is very acceptable to our clever friends,
tho steamboat-men.
A good river exerts a very beneficial effect
on our market, and besides affords employment
to a great portion of our citizens, and causes
the great amount of capital invested, in Steam
boat stock to be advantageously employed.

Mechanics’ Brass Baud.
•Tho mini who ha* no mimic in liix mail!
1* only lit for treason, stratagem and spoils,”
Wo are heartily gratified to inform the mu
sic-loving portion of our citizens, that about
twelve of our hard-fisted Mechanics have suc
cessfully organized a Brass Rand, and are as
siduously endeavoring to make themselves pro
ficient in the use of their respective instru
ments. They are under the tuition and lead
ership of Mr. James W. Ryan, who is also a
practical mechanic.
We cannot consider it otherwise than a very
laudable undertaking, and will, no doubt, re
dound more creditably to each individual in
terested, than if they omployed their idle hours
in dissipation or pastime of a doubtful, or friv
olous character!
Tho Sun will always beam its brightest rays
of encouragement on all such meritorious As
sociations. Success to them.
Torch-llgUt Procession In Girard.
On Friday night tho Buchanan party ofßussell
Ala., had a torchlight procession in Girard.—
They were highly elated with their success,
and shouts rent the air for Buck and Breck.—
There was no disturbance wo learn, and all
seemed vicing with each other in the raptur
ous celobration of their victory. Hurrah for
Buck nod Breck!
Negro Establishments.
Wo have been repeatedly called on to notice
tho existenco of these nuisances in the limits
of our city l . That they are an evil is beyond
doubt, and their abolishment would be an easy
matter, now that the Grand Jury are sitting, if
those personally injured would take the matter
in hand, and apply a little of the cudgel of
the law—State law.
It is too much inducement for the purposes
of theft to have such places of deposit for ne
gro rogues, to speak nothing of the probability
of liquor boiug furnished to slaves at such
quarters! Wo shall keep an eye—an open
eye on these sable institutions !

Tallapoosa Court.
At tho term of the Circuit Court of Tallapoo
sa county, Ala., hold last week, three convic
tions for criminal offences were had. Joseph
Campbell, charged with the murder of Jack
Hurston, was found guilty of murder in the
first degree, and sentenced by the Judge, to
the Penitentiary for life. John W. Johnston,

daughter, was found guilty, and sentenced to
the Penitentiary for ten years. Rich, a slave,
charged with the murder of his master, Eli T.
Pouncey, was also convicted and sentenced to
be hung on the 19th of November.

PREPARATIONS FOR DEPARTURE!
Fillmorenes on the Alert!
About eight o’clock, Saturday night last,
the whole gas lights in this city sudenly went
out, and inhabitants of our goodly corpor
ation were left to grope their way in darkness.
From every point of our city, loud shouts
rent the air, as if the Indians wore upon us.
Various surmises were uttered as to the cause,
by the uninitiated—the Buchananites asserted
as their positive belief, that jt was purposely
done for the Dark Lantern Party to take their
passage up Salt River. On all sides, the cry
of “Prepare Lanterns! ” was vociferated, and
“ Rats to your holes ! ” was shouted in thun
dering tones. Old fogy politicians trembled—
Barroom, Billiard Table, Oyster Saloon, and
“Pharaoh” Table-keepers, swore intensely
and Printers and half-gone individuals, cried
Light! Light!! But there was no light.
Postscript!—Ten Minutes Later!!
We stop the press to announce, in a vera
cious way, the why and wherefore of all the
above stated excitement! Our good friend,
Cuthbcrtson, superintendent of the Gas Works,
informs us, that on account of the darkness of
tho morning, and the burning out of four re
torts out of nine, he was unable, with all his
effovts. to create a supply equal to the de
mand. lie, however, will fix up again. This
our readers will perceive explains the whole af
fair—furnishes a subject for a paragraph and
makes a good excuse for the Gas Company.
Postscript Second!
Our readers will perceive by the dispatch be
low that the Fillmorines took advantage of the
the occasion aud went on board the Samuel!
Per Lightning Line!
Head of Salt River, Nov. 10—0 a. m.
After a stormy voyage of thirty-four hours,
we have safely arrived! Need not expect our
retun until four years—if then—“ Will our
good time ever come ! ” Were individuals ever
tossed so far by the antlers of a Buck ?
In behalf of the party,
Sorrowfully Yours,
MILLARD FILLMORE,
Com. Steamer Samuel.
Fremont in the Field for 1860.
The effects of Buchanan’s election are alrea
dy beginning to develop themselves in advance.
Chief among them is the strengthening and
perpetuating the war now carried on between
the North and the South, on the slavery ques
tion. We predicted months ago that it would
settle nothing, but keep up the wild confusion
and hasten the day of dissolution. The New
York Herald has already raised the standard
of Fremont for 1800, as will be seen from the
following extracts :
“Assuming, iu view, the election of Mr. Bu
chanan as an inevitable result, let us lift a lit
tle the curtain of the future. The inaugura
tion of an administration pledged to follow in
the footsteps of Mr. Tierce, will certainly be a
most interesting and critical event—interest
ing, from the peculiar circumstances, issues
aud developments of the campaign; and criti
cal, from the clashing and discordant materi
als which make up the ruling cliques and co
teries of the demoralized democracy. Mr. Bu
chanan will take up tho government and tho
party where Mr. Pierce has left them, and that
single fact involves a budget of blunders, fol
lies, crimes, troubles and difficulties which
would put the nerves and the will even of an
Andrew Jackson to the sorest test.”
“For our part, so well satisfied are we with
Fremont, after all the severe toils through
which he has so triumphantly passed, that if
defeated on Tuesday, lie becomes on Wednes
day our candidate for 1800 against the field.
Since the days of Old Hickory we have been
groping about, here and there, for a good piece
of timber for the Presidency ; but in all our
experiments we have met with but indifferent
success. We think, however, that in Fremont
we have the man required for a complete and
wholesome reconstruction of the government
upon the broad platform of the Constitution
and the Union. The very fact that, standing
upon his own bottom, his popularity in his
first trial runs far ahead of that of Old Hicko
ry, affords a world of evidence in his favor.
We trust, therefore, that if defeated on Tues
day next, his friends will at once proclaim him
their candidate for 1860. By this simple pro
cess the business of trading demagogues and
huckstering conventions will be superceded,
and the basis of a party will be established
which will not only be sufficient in 1800 to
sweep the country, North and South, but com
petent to secure the next Congress of 1858.
At all events, if defeated on Tuesday, John C.
Fremont, from Wednesday next, becomes our
candidate for 1860.”
Old Coins.
Two coins of the value of one dollar each,
weropickedup by the sideof the Palace of Gov.
Lyon in the town of Newborn, N. C., recently.
One of the coins is an American dollar of date
1790, with 15 stars and the word “libertv”
surrounding tho head of an Indian. The other
is a French coin boaring date 1759.
Death of the “Wandering Jew.”
We learned yesterday, says tho Charleston
Standard, the death at the Roper Hospital, of
the “Wandering Jew,” a character whose sin
gular appearance and habits havo been the
subjeot of much curiosity and comment, lie
has been known about Charleston for the last
six or seven years, but the period of his advent
is not recorifcd. He seemed to be very poor,
he never worked, nnd never begged, but yet in
some way or the other, he managed to subsist.
Tho most singular fact connected with him was
that ho never took the shelter of a roof—his
sleeping place was a hole in tho ground on
what is known as Payne's farm, and he was
not only contented with it, but would accept
of no more comfortable accommodations when
they were tendered to him. It is said that
somo gentleman, probably the proprietor, pro
posed to errect a cabin for him at the place
which he seemed to fancy, but he would not
accept it, and threatened to burn it if it should
be done. He might have been seen at any
time within the last six or seven years about
the streets with all his earthly goods upon his
back, nnd strolling about with a look of more
placid . satisfaction than is usually upon the
countenances of men whose position in life
would seem to be better. He was a foreigner,
somo say a Prussian, but we have never been
able to learn certainly, nor have we ever been
able to learn bis name.
We regret to learn from a note received from
Mr. Feaster, that George Garrison, a work
man employed on the Greenville Railroad, in
walking ncross the bridge over Broad River at
Alston, accidentally fell through nnd was
drown and. His body had not boon found. He
leav. * a wife and family in Columbia to mourn
his 1 v. — Columbia Carolinian.

.jj-d; sales of the week amounting to 130,000
bales. Os these sales 90,000 were of American
Cotton. The closing transactions showed firm
ness at the quotations: Orleans Fair 7Jd;

ing 365,000 American.
Liverpool Breadstuffs.—A slight decline

(original “sixteen hundred million pounds.”)
Paris Bourse.—At the latest advices from
Paris, the affairs of the Bank of France were
more favorable, although stringent regulations
are continued as to advances on Railway
Shares.
Havre Markets, Oct. 21.—The Cotton

General Intelligence.
The details of the news are meagre, Naples
continuing the only subject of interest. The
British fleet is “somewhere in the Mediterra
nean,” the French squadron at Toulon. Ru
mors are contradictory concerning the contin
uance ol’ diplomatic relations. Among other
matters, it is reported that the Czar advises
Naples to concede, and that England opposes
the recall of the Parisian Congress. From
Spain, it is rumored that another Ministerial
revolution is threatened.
The Duke of Tuscany, taking alarm at the
demonstration against Naples, is disposed to
make popular concessions to his subjects by
revising the Constitution of 184£.
Northeast and Southeast Alabama Railroad.
The quarterly meeting of the Directory of
the Northeast and Southwest Alabama Railroad
was held at Eutaw on Tuesday, tho 28th ult.
It apppeai-ed that nearly a full corps of Engin
ers had been made up, composed of the follow
ing gentlemen:
J. A. Corry, of Georgia, Principal Assistant.
R. E. llodes, of Va., Resident Engineer.
C. V. Winfree, ofVa., Assistant Engineer.
Walter Izard, of S. C , Assistant Engineer.
W. A. C. Jones, of Tenn., Second Assistant.
B. F. Campbell, of Ga., Third Assistant.
J. T. Elmore, of Ala., Third Assistant.
That the work in Mississippi had been pre
pared for contractors that in distance and cost
it had varied little if any from that reported
by the Engineer of the S. Railroad and refered
to by the Engineer of the Northeast and South
west Railroad in his first report, where he
gave the distance as 1811 miles.
The Engineers were being distributed along
on the subdivisions, for the purpose of staking
off the work for contractors, and would soon
have a large portion of this work accomplish
ed.
J. C. Coleman had commenced his work
upon the Mississippi portion of the road with
fifty odd hands, some two months before re
quired to do so by contract.
Other contractors were making rapid prepa
rations to continence their work, and would do
so as soon as it could be staked off —Eutaw

Mosses Stratton was tried in Chesterfield
county, Va., for killing Colonel Miller, and ac

Fraudulent Imitations of Superior Commodities,
Among the many dishonesties of trade which the mur
al sense of the community is called upon to suppress, we
would particularly notice amost pernicious and infamou
practice adopted by unscrupulous dealers of imitating and
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 off most destructive and worthless compounds, t<
the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to the
character of the man who lias expended thousands of
dollars iu 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 much
highway robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor's purse; in fact they are beneath the burglar
and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons e.v
liibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. Aud ought they not be rewarded with a punish
ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime!
We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfe’s ScJieidam
Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of ttie law against counterfeiting; the bottles 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! Assuredly lie
is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of his cap
ital in trade, ami a fellow stealing a part of his reputa
tion is as much of a thief as if he had stolen a barrel of
his schnapps in bulk. And to this crime lie 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 contidence. And,
further, every man who participates indirectly iu the
fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much of an offen
der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tne
remedy of Mr. Wolfe should lie in his holding all concer
ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindled
by their operations, and unconsciously imposed upon l)
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the conenctors of these
counterfeits, but of every man offering them lbr Hide,and
then publish them to the world; for his own reputation
and the health of the community demand Unit #ll parties
should bo nailed to the pillory of popular execration.

AN INFAMOUB BUSINESS.
When an enterprising man strikes out anew business,
to tiie establishment of which he gives liis industry, time,
talents ami pecuniary means, can anything be more con
temptible than to have another steal in, and. under spe
cious pretexts, hold out to the public an inferior article
and endeavor to obtain their patronage! l’ray, what
difference is there, so far us tho honesty of the “thing is
concerned, betweed purloining the business by which a
citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the bresd
itself! A common thief, if he takes without leave, how
ever hungry, n loaf of bread from n baker's shop, i appre
hended and condemned to the penitentiary for daring ’
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but pet
a respectable looking coat on his hack and a few dollars
in his pocket, and he may, with impunity, nay, even
with tiie applause of his fellows, by knavery, forger) - “i
ottier infamous menus, take the business of an hnuwt
man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All the ■
w rong. Home years since a gentleman of tliiscity (I'dol
plio Wolio) introduced to the citizens of the United Htai - ■
a medicated article of gin, which was highly approved 1)
professional gentlemen us a superior tonic and deobstru
out, and tiie knowledge of which he, by advertisement
nnd otherwise, disseminated throughout tho country.—
So soon aa tricksters, who pass in the business commu
nity as honest men, saw that Mr. Wolfe was likely m
have handsome returns for the time and money will™
ho had expended, they set about forging his labels an' l
palming off upon the people detestable and polo R" 11 ’
compounds which they have the hardihood to call -- H | , u t “
dam Suhnapp*.'’ In some instances they have gone
far as to put Wolfe's name to their villainous liquid*.—
As this horde are growing bold in their rascalities, it
time the public in town and country were put upon their
guurd. Consumers should be sure that tier purclia”
the genuine article, or else their health may be irrep 4ll1 ’
lily injured by using the horrible stuff that unscrupuloie
men, because they can buy it cheap, will offer as the lb' 11 ’
uine article. Pure Hclieidam Schnapps can only b 0 _
tuined at the stores of respectable merchants and drag
gists, iu towu and country, and at the establishment “
(idolpho Wolfe, Nos. IS, 20 and 22 Beaver Street, in
city, where it is gotten tip exclusively. We think it ad u ’
ty Which Mr. Wolfe utves to himself nnd the cotninuni!
to publish, by nan , the rascals who are tints attenipmh
to defraud both him and those who would be his cWte
titers. He should not permit his modesty to hold liH“
buck front making so righteous uu expose.
