LAUUEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Fine Weather.
Since the rain on Saturday last the weather
has been unusually fine, cool and bracing.—
There luivc been mild frosts, and old Boreas
has been very kind in being gentle in dealing
out his wintry breath. The roads aro in ex
cellent condition as far as we can learn, and
therefore our farmers have a fine opportunity
in getting ootton and other agricultural pro
ductions to market.
And in such weather as this whatever little
sickness there may exist, in this proverbially
healthy city, it must take its departure.
Christy’s Minstrels.
This celebrated band of minstrels will give
a series of their unique entertainments at Con
cert Hall, beginning Thursday evening next
Nov. 13.
From the notices of the press and the funic
which has preceded them, we have not the least
hesitation in advising those of our citizens who
are loud of such amusements gotten up in a
“chaste and fashionable” manner, not to lose
the present opportunity otferod to attend their
exhibition. See their advertisement in anoth
er column.
llorrowlng Papers.
We hear great complaint among our sub
scribers of being incessantly annoyed by that
class of people or pests yclopt newspaper bor
rowers. Homo say that the moment the car
rier delivers the Hun, and ere tho subscriber
lias time to uufold the paper, up steps some
one eager for tho latest news, but too parsimo
nious to pay for it, and bluntly or politely, as
the case may be, asks tho first reading of
tho news. Itually, this is not in strict accord
ance with ottiquette nor even just. It robs
the printer and vexes his patrons.
Those who may feel the force of these re
marks, are informed we aro able to furnish
the Hun to them on tho same terms as to oth
ers. llepeut and subscribe.
“ To the Ladies.”
We are requested by “Apollo” to call at
tention to his advertisement witli the above
caption.
We have always questioned tho propriety of
such preliminary steps towards securing a
partner for life, but as our patron seems so
sincere in tho matter, and as thoro is no way
to account for the diversity of tastes, we re
luctantly yield to his importunities and leave
hint to his fortuno and his fate.
We trust that all will not speak at once.
For City Treasurer.
The name of Mr. John Lloyd as a candidate
for tho above office will bo found in our an
nouncement column, and we would call tho
attention of our readers to the same.
Recoiver of Tax Returns.
We solicit the attention of tho voters of Mus
cogee to tho announcement of Mr. Edward C.
beers, who is a candidate lor tho above office.
Muscogee Superior Court.
William Hale, charged with an assault on
/.nchariah Gamcl, with intent to murder, was
put upon his trial on Monday, and has been
acquitted.
Thomas Reese, also, charged with an assault
on Eugene Smith, with intent to murder, was
tried yesterday. Tho Jury found him guil
ty, and recommended him to the mercy of the
Court.
City Criminal Court.
This Court, appointed to meet next Monday,
it will be seen by an advertisement in another
column, has been postponed to the Ist Mon
day in Decomber.

Mobile and U-irard Rail Road.
This Road, although so short a distuuco, is
completed, seems to be doing a fine business,
If we judge from tho fact of bo many passen
gers passing to and fro over it. It is bound
to be a puyiug road, as it taps a rich agricul
tural section inhabited by a population of su
perior intelligence.
Aside from all this, its energetic President
and popular officers will go far towards iutiu
enciug travel and freights.
From those most competent to judge, we are
informed that its superstructure, track and
equipments are second to no road in the South.
We furthor learn that in the course of this
week or next the road will be linished to the
margin of the ridge.
Wo congratulate our merchants, and all in
terested, on the flattering prospects of bene
fit# our city will derive from this road. Push
ou tlic work.

Mr. Benj. Jones, of Petersburg, Virginia,
committed suicide on Thursday last, at his re
sidence in that city, by a cut with a razor gash
below the navel, eighteen inches long, and se
vering the bowels, from which he died in a
short time. The Express says Mr. Jones had
for some time been in a bad state of health,
and some six weeks ago, was taken with an ap
poplectic fit. Hince then ho Ims evinced un
mistukeablo signs of hypochondriasis. Every
little thing that transpired would provoke his
intonse attention, and as in such cases, he was
continually anticipating evil, and that from
sources the most singular and-absurd. That
bis death was caused from his infirm state of
body and mind, is unquestionable, and in ac
cordance to this fact the jury of inquest made
their return to the coroner. Mr. Jonos was
about seventy-two years of age, and leaves an
immense estate to two sous who survive him.
Storm on Lake Erie-
Our eastern exchanges are filled with ac
counts of disasters to the Lake Craft in the
gale on Lake Erie on tho 4th. Some twenty
schooners and barques are reported ashore or
badly damaged. The brig Cumberland is re
ported to have been lost with all on board.
Capt. Cliampney, of tho Vermont, arrived at
Buffalo on tho Gth, says on the 4th he saw a
large steamer or propeller lying in the trough
of tho sea wholly unmanageable. Her smoke
pipes went overboard, and a crew of people
stunding upon the hurricane deck. Jlo thinks
she must have swamped before the storm was
ovor. Owing to the severity of the storm, he
was unable to render assistance, or ascertain
her name.
John Arrowsmith, a cotton broker, of Liv
erpool, has avowed himself the author of the
letter to the London Times, giving an account
of dueling in Georgia. On a rido of ten hours
Hum Macon to Augusta there were some six
or seven duels ; dead bodies were left upon
the road-side, and a poor child, because it
cried for the loss of its father, had its brains
dashed out. The letter was published as though
it were true, and this man, above-mentioned,
now comes out and says not only that he
wrote it, but lie saw tho occurrences ho de
scribes. lie will acquire a greater notoriety
by lying than he ever could have done telling
the truth.
A fire occurred at Syracuse, Yew York, on
tho morning of the Bth instant, which burnt
over an area of twelve acres and destroyed one
hundred buildings, leaving many families
houseless. Loss estimated at a million dol
lars.
Fire in the Woods—Property Destroyed.
We have accounts from every section of the
West and Northwest of destructive fires in the
woods, mountains, prairies and fields. The
Madison (Ind.) Courier of Friday says:
The woods, in a number of places in this
county, has been on firo since tho 14tli, and
immense damage has been already done. The
progress of the lire is represented as being as
rapid as a man can run, and nothing can stay
it.
The Toledo (Ohio) Times, of tho-’2d uh.,
says:
‘What a smoke!’ was tho exclamation of
almost every one last evening. If Millerism
had not had its day, one would almost be led
to believe that the world had commenced burn
ing up ! Tho sky lias been enveloped with a
thick murky smoko for several days past, but
last evening it was most intense—in fact, it
was oppressive.
Tho Dayton (Ohio) Gazette, says :
A gentleman who traveled through Drake
county, Ohio, last week, informs us that the
work of devastation goes ou with great rapidi
ty oven where there is little or no underbrush.
This owing to the moss, whose growth has
been favored by the season, aud which, by the
long drouth, has become almost as combusti
ble ns tinder. Hy means of this moss, tho
fire works its way under the roots of the tree,
destroying in a few hours the millions of little
fibrous tap roots whose united strength, per
haps, for ceuturies, maintained tho forest
monarch’s centre of gravity. In this wny
thousands of acres of timber are being laid
prostrate.
“Compare the speech of Charles Sumner at
his reception in Boston with those made by
Preston S. Brooks to his constituents. Mark
in one the accomplished scholar, tho iibernl
high-minded statesman, the generous patriot,
the Christian gentlemau. Mark the coarse
brutality of tho other, the egotism, the inso
lence, the contempt of authority, or order, and
the open demand for tho dissolution of the
Union.”— l‘rovitlence Journal.
Mark also tho fact that Mr. Sophomore
Sumner forgets to put iu tho quotation marks
—a common failing with him.— Char. Cour.

A widow woman in Petersburg, Va.. has
been arrested on a charge of theft, at the in
stance of a young man she refused to many.
Ho first circulated reports agniust her charac
ter in other respects, and failing to do her in
jury iu tl>is manner, had her arrested on the
charge named, offering to retract the charge
if she would marry him. She, of course, still
refused, and was brought up for trial, when
the graceless scamp failed to appear.
Iron Bands.
‘Vith the excoption of a few miles in Vir
ginia, there is now a connected line of railroad
all tho way from Bangor, on the Penobscot, to
Montgomery, on the Alabama; ore long, the
chain will be extended to New Orleans, thence
to be carried westward until it reaches the
Shores of the Pacific.
Arrest Upon Suspicion.
A party of five person, who gave their
names as Edward Haight, John Thompson,
, Charles Williams, Charles V. Groves and Ro
bert Monsell, were arrested yesterday and
brought before the Mayor, under tho charge
of picking pockets. Four of them were ar
rested at the Railroad, who had rooms at Mrs.
Groves’, Queen street, and the other at the
American Hotel. The circumstances leading
to the arrest were, that several persons have
had their pockets picked within the last few
days, some at the Charleston Theatre, and
some at the Railroad depot, and always when
this has occurred, some ono or other of the
party has been present. They are also strang
ers in the city; they have always been seen
together, and have generally been Seen by the
Police under such circumstances of mysterious
iutercouee as to force the conviction that some
illicit practices were being carried on. When
brought up separately, neither knew the heme
of the other, though they all profess to have
come on together from Weldon, North Caroli
na, where they met accidentally. They could
concur in no story as to what they were after,
where they were going, where they lived, or
anything, hi fact, which could justify the be
lief of their having any honest objeet. Not
withstanding this, however, no act was estab
lished against them, and the Mayor, convinc
ed that they were rogues, but without the le
gal evidence of the fact, put them in chargo of
an officer to ship them off from the city by
tho South Carolina Railroad. This service
was performed, and we have been relieved for
a time, at least, from the presence of a pre
cious set of rascals, at the expense of some
other place. We hope they will be taken care
of as they go along.— Charleston Standard.
Onr police will do well to look out for these
gentlemen, who, if not already in town, may
be looked for, this being a favorite field for
such chaps.
Ancient Canoe Discovered.
Three fisherman at Asnieres, France, have
discovered an ancient canoe buried beneath a
saud bank in the river. From its form it is
supposed that it was used by the Normans in
their invasion of Paris. It is an immense
trunk of oak, about eighty feel long, hollowed
out, and capable of holding sixty men. It is
well known that the Normans, in addition to
their large wicker work boats, had other very
long ones for purposes of war, formed of hard
wood, and it issupposed that this isoneof them.
There is n striking resemblance between this
and the barks of tho pirates of the ninth cen
tury.
SometUiug Stinking.
The type of chills and fevers in Anne Arun
del county, Md , is of rather a violent nature.
An editor of that seetiou speaks of a visit lie
had the other day from rather a queer genius,
named Tom, when the following dialogue en
sued :
“ How do you do, old fellow ?”
“ Hollow, Tom,” said we, “ where have you
been so )og?”
“ Why, sir, 1 have been downon Seven Riv
er, in Anne Arundel county, taking Shanghai
notes on the chills and fever.”
“ Ah, indeed,” said we, “are they very
bad down there ?”
“Rather bad,” said Tom, drily. “There
is one place where tney have been trying to
build a brick house for eight weeks—well, the
other day as the hands were setting up the
bricks, preparatory to finishing it, they were
taken with a chill, aud shook the whole build
ing completely down, and kept on shaking, till
the bricks were dust of the finest quality ! Just
at this juncture, the chills came with renewed
force, and they commenced shaking up the
dust with such a gusto that they were entire
ly obscured for two hours’ and the people of
neighborhood thought the suit was in an
eclipse.”
“ Can’t believe nothing like that, Tom.”
“ It’s a fact?” said Tom, and resumed :
“ There’s a farmer down there, who in ap
ple-picking season, hauls his negroes out to
the orchard, and sets one against each tree.—
In a short time the chill comes on, and every
apple in the orchard is shaken off the tree on
the ground.”
“Incredible!” said we, holding our side
with both hands.
“Fact’ ’ said Tom, “they keep a man along
side of each negro to take him away as soon as
as the fruit is off for fear he will shake the
tree down.”
Tom continued : “ Mr. S , a friend of
mine, aud a house carpenter were engaged a
few days ago in covering the roof of a house
with shingles. Just as he was “finishing,”
the chill came on and he shook every shingle
off the roof. Some of them are supposed to
bo flying about yet.
“Another gentleman near thesamcplacc was
taken with a chill the other day at dinner, and
shook his knifo and fork down his throat, be
sides breaking all the crockery on the table.—
His little son, who was sitting at the table at
tho same time was taken with a chill and
shook all the buttons off bis inexpressibles,
aud then shook himself clear of them !”
We then prevailed upon Tom to desist, who
did so, with the understanding that he was to
give us the balance at some future time.
Persons who think of emigrating to Anne
Arundel county, will please tako notice.

Col. Bcnj. F. Treadwell.
This generous champion of Southern Eights
in Kansas, reached home ou Thursday night
last, after an absence of seven months * in that
Territory, during which lie ijevoted himself to
our cause with a fidelity, courage ami perse
verance, that entitle him to tho respect and
gratitude of the whole country, lie was met
with a true, spontaneous outburst of welcome
by bis friends and neighbors, that testified
their appreciation of his services and their joy
at his safe return. As soou as it was ascer
tained that ho had arrived in the stage, al
though it was then midnight, a large number
of the citizens quitted their beds, and came
forth to greet him, and, preceded by the band,
escorted him to his house on the hill, where
congratulatory addresses were made to him by
Alpheus Baker, Jr., Esq., Col. Cochran aud
Henry D. Clayton, Esq. , The caDuon was
fired in honor of his arrival, and with every
demonstration of respect, he was welcomed
back to the home from whose pleasures and
comforts a noble sense of duty to his country
has so long detained him.— h'u/aula Spirit.
Speculation in Blood.
Dayton & Burdick, of New York, aro about
publishing a life of Senator Sumner, written
by D. A. llarska, authors of eminent authors
and statesmen. It will make a volume of 380
pages, containing, besides an interesting biog
raphy of the Senator, extracts from several of
bis speeches, and the whole of his speech in
tho Senate. It will be embellished with an
excellent portrait of Mr. Sumner, and a fine
lithograph of the scene when struck down by
the Bludgeon of Brooks.”
We tako the above highly interesting item
from the New York Evening Post, in order to
suggest‘one important addition. The Charles
ton i’“trier respectfully recommends that t\o
publ—lters procure a out of that “bludgeon”
-—a billow gutta percha cane of the diameter

Obedience in Children.
It is unspeakable what a blessiug it is to a
child, what a saving of unhappiness and wick
edness in after life, to be early taught absolute
obedience; there must be no hesitating or ask
ing why, but what a mother says must be at
once done. The young twig bends easily, but
remember, that in after years it grows hard,
and will break before you bend it. A little
steadiness at first will save you many years
of sorrow. While you insist upon obedience,
however, you must care that you do not pro
voke a child, and tempt it to disobedience,
by unreasonable and foolish commands. “Pro
voke not your children to wrath; ” and when
it is necessary to punish them, see that it nev
er be done violently and in a passion, but as a
duty.— Hints to Mothers.
Agricultural Expedition.
The U. S. storeship “Release,” one of the
vessels of the Hartstene Expedition in pursuit

It is expected that she will visit the shores of
Central and South America, as well as many
of the West India Islands, and return early in
the next Spring.— Jour, of Commerce.
Gold Prom Marrow Bones.
In Australia Mr. Mooney has been deliver
ing a lecture on the origin of gold, concerning
which hepropounded thefollowing novel theory:
He set out by declaring his belief that gold is
the petrified remains of matter which was once
animate ; and accompanied as it generally is
by ocean pebbles, quartz, crystal, and other
saline and marine debris, he was of opinion
that gold is the petrified fat or marrow of a pe
culiar fish, which was once floated over the
gold fields when those fields were beds and bot
toms of the world’s great ocean. In proof of
the hypothesis that gold is nothing more than
the petrified fat of a peculiar fish, the lecture
showed specimens of quartz in which marine
shells wore emboded. Mr. Mooney also alluded
to the fact that iron exists in the human blood,
and argued from that postion that gold might
be educed from the marrow of fiishes.—
Albany Knickerbocker.
Artificial Granite.
The Rochester. Uniou says: “We have seen
some specimens of thisg article for building pur
poses, which have a. durable appearance, be
sides being handsome. The granite is made
of a composition of sand and lime. Thorough
chemical tests have proven its indestructibili
ty. It is moulded in blocks of five times tbe
size of common bricks, and in admirable shape
for building. Each block has a mortice through
it, so as to pass a current of air through the
centre of the ent ire wall of the building, and
thus prevent frost from entering. The cost of
the article, even in New York, is said to be far
less than bricks, aud it cun be laid moro ra
pidly.”
Theological Difference
Hr. Stuart was rather foud of controversy.
A favorite topic with him was the true nature
of saving faith, on which subject he regarded
Dr. Chalmers as in error. They met in the
streets of Edinburg and entered into a warm
controversy; street after street, and square
alter square were passed ; Dr. Chalmers tak
ing Dr. Stuart by the hand and saying: “ If
you wish to see my views stated clearly and
distinctly, read a tract called Hindrances to
Believers of the Gospel.” “Why,” said Dr.
Stuart, “that is the very tract I published my
self.” Dr. Chalmers used often to describe
this scene as a proof that many think they dif
fer when they really agree.
Political Sermons Repudiated.
The congregation of the Church of the Epi
phany at Philadelphia (Protestant Episcopal)
hold an election to decide tho question wheth
er the Vestry should be sustained in the re
buke given to the pastor, llev. Dudley A. Ty
ing, for preaching a political sermon some tinio
since. The voto stood for tho Vestry 57,
against 44. This involves the resignation of
the pastor, agreeably to bis determination pre
viously announced, that if not sustained by
tbe congregation he would resign. .Many of
those who voted against the Vestry did so out
of attachment to the pastor, whilst they disap
proved of the course he had seen fit to pursue.
Hogs in Ohio.

WHEN WE HUSKED THE CORN.
November scorching fires the trees,
And naked lies the shivering vine;
While dimly o’er the distant seas
The lading lights ol‘ summer shine.
Along tiie lawn the negro blows
Deep summons on his noonday horn,
And borne ward troop the girls and beaus
From husking of the corn.
1 mind me well that autumn day,
Wlieu five-and-twepty years ago.
We turned our labor into play,
And husked the. corn for neighbor Lowe.
Ah! wife, we Were the blithest pair
That e’er to wedded love were horn;
For I was gay and you were fair
A husking of the corn.
Uhl how we sung and how wo laughed!
Our hearts sat lightly on our lips,
As we the golden cider quaffed,
Aud passed tire bowl with rustic quips.
And when sly hints of love went round.
,4 on glanced at me with pouting scorn,
\ct smiled, although you fain would frown,
A liuskiug of the corn.
Then when 1 found the scarlet ear.
And claimed the old traditioned kiss,
You bade mo not approach too near,
And pleaded that, iuul pleaded this—
Away you tied, and I pursued,
Till all too faint you were to wont,
And—know you not how well I wooed,
A husking of the corn i
