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, charged with rape on tho person of his own 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. ♦ * Kor Sexton. Our old and valued friend Thomns Nix is an nounced in another column ns a candidate for tho abovo office.

In addition to the Presidential election, sev en States held their regular elections on Tues day lust, to wit: New York, New Jersey, Mas sachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin and Califor nia, to oloct their State officers and members to Congress. Sixty-seven members of Con gress are to be elected in those States. As far as heard from in New York, eighteen Black Republicans, and twelve Democrats, are ascer tained to have been elected, and three doubt ful. Massachusetts is reported to havo elec ted all Black Republicans. From Cuba. The Black Warrior, which arrrlved at New Orleans on tho fth, reports that a Spanish brig-of war hud sailed with 0,000 stand of arms for the insurgents in St. Domingo. It was reported also that active preparations arc in progress for invasion of Mexico, in view of approaching hostilities between that Republic and Spain.

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.

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. FURTHER BY THE CANADA. Commercial 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 Ala. Whir/.

For sale by all respectable Grocers and Druggists Read the opinions of the 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 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. From tho Now York Dispatch. 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.
