COLUMBUS:
Tuetilay Morning, Nov, 11, 1806.
LARGEST CITY CIRC CITATION.
For Marshal.
We have the pleasure of calling tho attention
of our citizens to the fact that Mr. Mahaffeyis
again in the field. It is useless for us to speak
a single word of recommendation when every
citizen is so well acquainted with the true and
tried officer.
Mayoralty.
By reference to our announcement column,
voters will inform themselves that two candi
dates arc in the field for the office of Mayor.—
Both have filled the office —are old citizens—
men of public spirit—and too well and widely
known among our fellow citizens to need our
certification of tho abilities of either of the gen
tlemen for the honorablo and responsible post.
Now 1a the Time t
All those who desire to place their business,
wants, anil other advertisements prominently
before the public six times a week, will find
tho sun just the paper to suit their purposes.
We have the most readable and most sought
for paper in these “diggings” and we aro pre
pared and willing to make contracts, and ad
vertise on tho maxim of “Live and let live.” —
We ask a trial, feeling contidont that our friend
and patrous will be thereby benefitted.
Grant Our Request.
We will be under obligations to all persons
wiio will bo so kind as to inform us of any lo
cal matter which may prove of general interest.
We trust that all officers of our county and
city will pay especial attention to our request.
P. O. Name Changed. *
Tho name of the Post-office at Silver Hun,
Russell county, Alabama, has been changed to
that of Seal’s Station, and T. B. Scott, Esq.,
appointed Post Master.

Fifty Dollars Made.
We are informed by a subscriber in West
Point, Ga., that a person who borrowed tho
Bait.y Sun from him a short time since, made
the snug sum of Fifty Dollars by the aJVanco
cotton news he found in our paper! Now we
do think that lucky man, considering lie was
no subscriber, should turn over forty-five of
the amount to some charitable institution, and
send the remaining five for the Sun for a year,
as we must believe he traded on borrowed cap
ital.
The Sun is and shall continue to bo always
ahead in news of all kind.
The Columbus Guards,
This spirited corps, commanded by Captain
Semmes, had a parade yesterday evening.
Although it was rather a slim “turnout,” they
seemed to go through all their evolutions with
tho alarcity and precision which have render
ed them as famous as their valor on the fields
of Mexico. May they never disband, shrink
from duty, or weary in well doing.
What a Change.
Yesterday when our dispfltch giving the pro
bable defeat of Buchanan was made public,
it was amusing to seo tho chango. Democratic
faces began to elongate, while the smile was
apparent on the couteu&uce of every Fillmoro
man. Indeed the democrats so completely
took their “ hole ” that scarcely one could be
soon on the street after night, whilst the
friends of Fillmore were circulating promiscu
ously.
Tho shock was too terrible for endurance.
Happy relief, however, is at band, and all
will bo right again.
Tho Clayton Banner.
B. 11. Koisor, Esq., editor of the above pa
per, is in our city for the purpose of making
collections, and obtaining advertisements and
subscriptions. Ben is a spicy writer, a good
fellow, and his paper a great favorite in Bar
bour and adjacent counties. We bespake for
him tho eourtesey and patronage be so richly
merits-
Telegraph Extension’
We aro pleased to learn t hat tho putting up
of the wire on the Columbus aud Apalachico
la Telegraph Line, has been completed to old
Columbia, and that an office will be openod at
Fort Gainos, in tho course of this week, under
the direction of Freeman Brannon of this city,
as operator. Tho work is progrossing with
energy, aud we learn it is the determina
tion of tho contractor, Major Musgrovc, to
make the connection with Apalachicola by the
Ist of December.
Duel Frustrated.
A letter to the Petersburg Express from
Richmond, datodNov. 7th, says a duel between
Drs. Warring and Lipscomb, of lliclnuoud was
to have taken plaoe on the 6th instant, near
Washington; but by the interposition of friends,
their difficulty was settled without a resort to
tho horrid pistols. This affair grew out of
some business transaction.

Fire and boas of Life In St. Louis.
Early on Saturday morning, first instant., a
small cabinet manufactory in tho Northern
part of St. Louis was burned. Ten of tho em
ployees of tho establishment slept in tho buil
ding,'three of whom jumped from an attic win
dow, but before tho others could be rescued tbo
frout walls gave way, and precipitated them to
the cellar, where they perished beneath tho
ruins. The parties were Germans.
The Wilmington North Carolina Journal
says: “At & fusion meeting held in Philadel
phia on Monday night, previous to the presiden
tial election, Kenneth Rayner of North Curoli
na, road a despatch from Millard Fillmore, de
claring that success would justify a fusion
everywhere to beat Buchanan, or another ac
count says that it wouldbe justifiable in Penn
sylvania.”
We hope for tho honorof the old North State,
at least, there is a mistake about the matter.

the Abolitionists to defeat his own native home!

The following dispatch was handed us just
as we were going to press.
Per Lightning Line!
llkau ok Salt Rivkb, Nov. 10—9 r. M.
Friend homy: —Your dispatch communicat
ing the purport of the Daily Sun’s dispatch
which stated that Tennessee and Illinois had
gone against Buchanan, is just received.
You have no idea what a balm it has proved
to our wounded souls.
We knew and felt that all was not lost—that
at least a part of the “Old Guard ” would not
abandon us in this our trying hour of grief
and helplessness. Yerily! Yea, verily the
road of Samuel is a hard one to travel.
They have, as the good Samaritan, yielded
comfort to those dying by the wayside! Onr

Monument Move-
The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate says a beau
tiful sight was presented on the puhlic square
in that plaoe, on the day of the election. Un
der tho sole direction of Col. R. W. Anderson,
the world-wide philanthropist and friend to hu
manity, tho girls of the town, with banners
streaming, were formed into a procession—ac
companied by the Riflles, and martial music,
they marched through the town to the ballot
box, where the flag-bearers deposited fifty
cents each, in a box for Washington Monu
mont. Tho procession was headed with a
large flag, having inscribed on it in golden let
ters, “Justice, Peace, and the Union forever.”
There was a Hag for each State and Territory
of the Union. Tho sight was a pleasing one
—youth and beauty paying willing homage to
the patriotism of Washington. It was a bright
oasis in the desert of party bitterness. We
do not know which looked the most pleased,
the girls or “Uncle Dick.”
After the procession left the square, it mavch
od to tlio Huntsville Female College, where,
we understand, a beautiful feast of fat things
—creature comforts for all invited—was pro
vided. The whole expense of the parade
money contributed to the Monumout aud all
—was defrayed by Col. Andersou himself.

Western and Atlantic Rail Road.
The report of the Superintendent of thisroad
for the year ending 30th Sept., 1856, to Gov.
Johnson, shows the following result. The to
tal earnings of the Road from Oct. Ist., 1855,
to Sept. 30th, 1850 are as follows :
From Freights $030,497 26
“ Passengers 218,111 34
“ Mail Service 22,715 73

taining Road same period, 380,608 85
Total net earnings, ...$490,697 08
The cost of the Road to Sept. 30th, 1850,
being $5,517,830 48 the net income for the
past year yields a fraction over 8 per cent, on
the outlay. Since October 1855, there appears
to have been added to the rolling stock of tho
Road, 2 Passenger, 3 Baggage, 125 Box, 00
Platform, 4 Stock and 23 Coal Cars.
The Treasurer’s account exhibits the follow

Half and Half.
A party of Americans were taking tho pleas
ant drive “round Montreal mountain,” when
they met an Indian woman with a baby on her
back, whose light complexion and Caucassian
features betrayed tho iufaut as not altogether
of “savage” origin. One of the ladies, stoop
ing to admire tho “pappoose,” exclaimed,
“surely my dear woman that is not an Indian
baby.” “Yes,” said the squaw, with the sul
len indifference of the race—“Y’es—somo In
dian: some soldier.” My lady was satisfied,
and the party drove on.
The Central Sun.
All scientific men have maintained that there
must be a central point, if not a central sun,
around which tho whole uuiversc revolves.—
Meadler, who is unquestionably one of the
greatest astronomers ever known, has giveu
this subject his special attention; aud he has
come to the conclusion that Aloyane, tho prin
cipal star in the group known us Pleiades, now
occupies tho centre of gravity, and is at pre
sent the grand central sun around which the
whole starry universe revolves. This one of
the most interesting and important astronomi
cal announcements ever made, though it is
vory likely that, but for tho eminent scientific
position of the author, it would be treated as
visionary. Another interesting statement in
this connection is made by Mr. Thompson, one
of tho physicists, who, with Carnot, Soule,
Mayor, and others, has largely contributed to
ward establishing the relations between heat
aud mechanical force, aud who has extended
his researches to tho heat emitted by the sun;
which heat, he observes, corresponds to the
development of mechanical force, which, in the
space of about 100 years, is equivalent to the
whole active force required to produce the
movement of all tho planets. —National InteL
Important Discovery—Detection of Mur
der,
A series of experiments have recently been
made, says the Chicago Press, by Dr. Pollok,
au oculist of Chicago, to test the truth of on
article published some time since by a celebra
ted physician in England, which alleged that
the last scene viewed by a dying man would
remain impressed upon the retina as does the
impression upon a daguerreotype plate. Iu
each experiment that Dr. P. has made, he lias
found that au examination of the retina of the
eye with a microscope, reveals a wonderful as
well as a beautiful sight, and that iu almost
every instance there was a clear, distinct, and
marked impression. Wc put these facts upon
record, in the hope of awakening an interest
in the subject, that others may be induced to
enter upon these interesting experiments, and
the cause of science advanced.
The recent examination of the eye of J. 11.
Beardsley, who was murdered in Auburn, con
ducted by Dr. Sanford, corresponds with those
made elsewhere. The following is the publish
ed account of the examination:
“At first wo suggested the saturation of the
eye in a weak solution of atrophine, which
evidently produced an enlarged state of the
pupil. On observing this, wo touched the end
of the optic nerve with the extract, when it
instantly became protuberant. Wo now ap
plied a powerful lens, and discovered in the
pupil the rude, worn away figure of a man,
with a light coat, beside whom was a round
stone, standing or suspended in the air, with
a small handle stuck as it were in the earth.
The remainder was debris, evcdcntly lost from
the destruction of the optic, and its separa
tion from the mother brain. Had we perform
ed this operation when the eye was entire iu
the socket, with all its powerful connection
with the brain, there is not the least doubt
but that we should have detected the last idea
and impression made on the mind and eye of
the unfortunate man. The thing would evi
dentiy.be entire ; and perhaps we should have
had the contour, or, better still, the exact fi
gure of the murderer. The last impression
before death is always more terrible on the
brain from four than any other cause; and fi
gures impressed on the pupil more distinct,
which we attribute to the largeness of the op
tic nerve and its free communication with the
brain.”
Splendid Mobile Steamer.
Two splendid steamers, one wholly and the
other partially, the work of New Albany me
chanics, are now lying at tho wharf, ready to
depart for the South on the first rise in the ri
ver sufficient to carry them out. One is called
the “St. Nicholas” and the other the “St.
Charles,” and both arc destined for the Mo
bile trade.
The length of tho St. Nicholas is 205 feet;
tho beam 88 feet in width, and the hold O.V
feet in depth. She is supplied with four boil
ers each 28 feet in length, and 40 iuches in
diameter. Her cylinders are 8 feet stroke and
24) iuches in diameter. Her wheels are 30
feet in diameter, with buckets 12 feet in
length.
All who have had anything to do in building
or furnishing the St. Nicholas may well feel
proud of her. The machinery is really as
lino a specimen of workmanship was ever
turned out of a western shop, and does infinite
credit to the builders. It is of great power,
and is finished in every respect iu a style
which cannot be surpassed.
The cabin is acknowledged by all to be one
of tho most splendid ever put upon any boat
built here or in the west. The ornaments,
though in excellent taste, are not overdone, as
is some times the case. The painting, gilding,
composition work, and moulding are in the
best style. The pannels of tho cabin doors
are ornamented with paintings of celebrated
natural and historical scenes. The furniture
is all of costly rosewood, aud for richness,
comfort and elegance, surpasses anything we
liavo yet seen.
The St. Charles is the same size as tho St.
Nicholas, and is intended to bo in every respect
a similar boat.
These boats are owned and were built by
Messrs, Cox, Braiuard k Cos., for the Alabama
trade, and will undoubtedly create a sensation
when they shall appear in the Southern wa
ters. This company is composed of old and
well known steamboatmeti, who know exactly
what suits the traveling community of their
own section.
The St. Nicholas will be commanded by
Capt. A. J. Cox and the St. Charles by Capt.
Andrew Johnson, two of the most popular of
ficers on the southern rivers.— New Albany

Splendid Masonic Temple to be Built.
The Masonic Fraternity of this State purpose
to erect in the city of New Y'ork a splendid
edifice, which will excel in Magnificence and
finish anything of the kind on this continent.—
it is to be live stories high, of white marble,
substantially and elegantly built, and will be
100 feet front by 125 feet deep. It will cou
tain ample accommodations for tho sessions of
the grand lodge, subordinate lodges, councils
and encampments, and the appointments and
decorations of the rooms will be on the most
splendid and costly scale. The Masonic Tem
ple in Philadelphia cost nearly $300,000, but
this edifice is expected to cost $500,000. As
the Grand Lodge caunot build this temple it
self—the law not permitting it nn association
of Freemasons has been formed, and, trustees
appointed who will make application for a char
ter to the next Legislature, one of the provi
sions of which will be that none but Freema
sons can own stock, and that fraternity will
have full charge aud control of the disposition
of the temple. The Masonic Hall in this city,
on Broadway, formerly belonging to the Ma
sons, passed out of their hands by outsiders
bolding of the stock, and’thcy wish to be se
cure against any such difficulty with the new
temple. The site has nut yet been determined
upon, but it will doubtleess be somewhere in
Broadway.— N. Y. Herald.

With wouderous skill the artist holds,
His magic mirror to each welcome guest,
Such pure reflections meet the eye, it seems
That Nature's self the bcautious work imprest.
Who’ll twine a wrea h for thy great triumphs, art?
Time only strengthens thy vast mystic power,
In ehainlesg might and with na endless aim,
A world-wide tame will be thy glorious dower.
Earth, gorgeous pageants, all must pass away—
Oblivious night their- brightness shall enfold,
But thou with eagle flight shall reach the sun,
While circling years on countless years are rolled.
When life’s last flickering taper’s done,
Thy pictured tablet do is memorial give,
And greets the eye with trophies wrest from death;
That nature mocks, and bids the dead one live.
And a? we gaze how quick the pulse vibrates,
On fancy’s fallen palace hang hope’s cypress wreath,
With sighs the spirit lingers o'er the past,
Like the last moan of autumn’s dying breath,
Thy hand can stay the shadows that wotild else depart,
The roseate cheek, the dark and silken tress,
The coral lips aud eyes that beam with light,
Each graceful form depiot in all Us loveliness.
The mother’s tears shall drop like falling rain,
Upon the glass, affection fain would trace,
In the broad manly brow and bearded lip,
The smooth round cheek and form of boyish grace.
Wilmington and Weldon Bail Road Cos.
This road seems to be in a prosperous con
dition, judging from the receipts of the past
year. We copy from the Superintendent’s
statement:
Gross receipts from all sources from
Oct. 1, 1855, to Sept. 30, 1850 $479,349 38
The cost of operating the road for
the same period has been 230,035 41
Showing the nett earnings to be $242,713 97
From this it it will be observed the road has
been operated for a sum less than 50 per cent,
of the gross receipts, which we believe is con
sidered a good showing.
Tho Company we notice has declared two
semi-annual dividends of 3) per cent, cash,
equal to 7 per cent, for tho year, aud besides
this, we are informed has set aside a “sinking
fund” of 3 per cent., making in all 10 per
cent, profits. The gross receipts this year ex
ceed those of the year previous, by about
$37,000, wliilo the cost of working the road
remains about the same as for the year ending
September 30th, 1855. Wilmington Journal.
Tlie Nicaraguan Volunteers.
The New Orleans Delta of October 28th,
says :
Four hundred and more of the true and gal
lant filibusters went down the Mississippi this
morning, in the good ship Tennessee, to join
the army of the Man of Destiny. Four hun
dred men with brave hearts and strong arms
are gone from home and friends, incited by the
love of enterprise and a soldier’s life, to range
themselves under the honored flag of Republi
can Nicaragua, which Walker, the gallaut chief
tain of a glorious little army, has tinged with
the golden halo of genius and of victory.
The steamship wharf presented a view this
morninng that will not quickly fade from the
memory of those who saw it. Looking up to
the decks of the Tennessee were nearly two
thousand earnest gazers, breathing wishes of
good-will, and prayidg for the success of the
Nicaraguan volunteers.
It was a sight to make the blood of the most
unmitigated old fogy thrill with a pleasurable
and manly feeling; and the ringing shout of
the volunteers, as the steamship went from the
mooring, gave promise of the realization of the
high hopes which filled their hearts.

Rogue Cauglit,
On Thursday morning lust, about 3 o’clock.
Mr. R. L. Ross, Druggist, of our town, was
awakened by someone entering his store. Up
on entering the store from his sleeping apart
meut, he discovered the burglar in the act of
lighting a match. When the thief found he
was discovered he took to his heels, hut was
pursued bv Air. Ross, armed with a hatchet,
who upon coming up with him knocked him
down. The burglar drew a repeating pistol
then and tired several shots at Mr. 11., but
happily witheut effect. Iu the mean time, a
vigorous application of the lmtchet put the chap
hors du combat and with the assistance of sev
persons who had been aroused by tho noise,
the thief was secured.
Tuo fellow, it seems, had visited several oth
houscs iu town before calling upon Mr. Ross,
lie bad taken about s4oofrom Mr. N. P. Hutli
land’s cash drawer, which was found in his hat
when captured. He had also helped himself
to a watch and n small amount of money at. tho

not recover. He is a stranger here, and has
several aliases to his name, aud is doubtless a
thief by profession. —Tuscumbia Alabamian.
