What he says you may depend on without doubt. What then is the use of us saying anything about a man who has been in business in this city near a score of years, ami is not even now afraid to advertise. Success attend him ! ♦ Earnest Entreaties and Appeals to the Uncon verted, with Persuasions to Religious Du ties: by Mrs. Lczkne Ciupman'. Tbo above work has been placed in our hands by the author, who is a native of Guilford co., North Carolina. Tbo character tft the work Is indicated by the title, and from tho short ex amination we have been able to give it, think it worthy of a place in the library of every family. it is a volmuc of lOh pages. Pride 75 cts. The work cun he had at the Mini office ♦ - - Gunsmithing, Bell Hanging, &c. Cur citizens are requested to notice the card of Mr. A. Cudinan. lie is an industrious and meritorious workman, and deserves a lib eral share of public patronage, which we hope he will receive. Bad Example! We lea: .i (lmt on Wednesday night a “knock down and dragout ” affair occurred betweeu two of tho eity guardians, Harris and Riley. Froth ijomfe cause Riley, who is reported to have been drunk, desired to try the ring of the skull of Harris, but the aimed blow from the cudgel of Riley was fenced off at the cost of a broken linger to Harris. Harris then with his list prostrated Riley to “ mother earth ” several times, and on lliley rising the laid time, made nt Harris with an “ Arkansas toothpick” (i. e. bywio knife). This being perceived by a friend to Harris, lie (11.) was furnished with a pistol, which being pointed at lliley, brought him to a sudden halt. The parties were then separated. It is a disgraceful affair, and we do trust that our prompt Mayor will sue tho necessity Os removing those whose duty it is to enforce quiet and peace among others, when they can not keep it among themselves. Since the above was in type, Deputy Mar dial Ilobinson informs us (hat he promptly discharged lliley; and ho also stated that tho case will come up before the Superior Court Ibr investigation. Thrico Armed.” We had our curiosity satisfied by seeing an individual who was “thrice armed. It was our friend Kiescr, of Clayton, Ala. He is stout, heulfby and well made—that is arm one. Is a Justice of the l’caco in his county (Harbour) that is arm two, and arm of tho law : and the mighty arm three he is Edi tor of a newspaper. Now what we wish to say is this: it does not seem right for an editor to allow his dig nity to sink so low as to accept an office. They are generally law makers not law-distributors. As Hen will have his own way, we would re commend his paper as a good one, and his tact for makiug collections for those ia our city who may have claims down his way ns unsur passable. \ddross 15. il. Kieser, Clayton, Ala. “Apollo.” Is informed that there are two letters (each accompanied by a daguerreotype,) at the ‘Sun’ office, subject to his demand or order, fall St Kill. • New “Wharves of tho Oily. l'his new work commenced tome eight weeks since by Col. Asa Rates, we learn will be com pleted next week. it is built of the granite rock taken from the river just under the bridge. The length is -*d) yards; height, lower half, 10 feet, and upper half, 12 feet. The structure is 8 feet wide nt tho bottom, and I feet at ilie top.— The depth of watei nt present stage of river, along side of the wall is about 61 foot. The cost of the wall, which when finished, by hav ing outside of wall cemented, and the top co vered with one foot of cement, will be nine thousand dollars. The filling in and paving will eost six hundred more. Wo are uuder obligations to Mr. David luu ney, superintendent of the work, for the above information. Columbus has long needed a good wharf nndnt last her want is to be satisfied. We know our boatmon will not be insulted by the improvement. ♦ Good Gunning. Wo are informed by Col. Quin, that at Ills Auction sale on Wednesday last, a person from Russell county, Ala., whose name begins with “ H.” bid off anew double barrel gun; nr.d whilst the attention of the clerk was attracted elsewhere, the buyer, without paying for his purchase, “vamosed the rancho,” leaving our friend minus u shooting iron! The Col. vows that if tho gun is not return ed or paid for immediately, lie will publish “ II.” to tlie world. This is certainly a remarkable instance of absence of mind! Bring back that gun! —— -♦ ■ Christy’s Minstrels—Again. Well, we went as we * said we would—our hat was geuorously chalked—we had the blues when wo went in, but the cnohiimatious caused by tho unapproachable fun of the performers caused us nearly to split our sides. Tbo songs wore excellent, the music the best—the hu mor, the most humorous—tho burlesques in comparable, and tho dancing was very good. We were pleased—everybody delighted, Tbc house was crowded—they deserved t lie patron age, and the visitors received a quid jv quo, for their half dollars. The Christy's are inimitable—they are trumps. Go to Concert llall to-night and you will be satisfied that we are not puffing. We (canuot keep away—but will put on our chalk ed hat and go again ! Who are going with us? Let there be a jam! Georgia Returns for Electors. We give below official returns from ail tbe counties in this State except eleven. boinoi i atb . K.

The Lunqikhi l'laiudealer learns that l>r. R. 11. Verkins, of Cuthbert, committed suicide in Americus, on Friday night last, 7th iust., by opening au artery at the wrist. Dr. I’. was returning from Macon, whither ho had been to transact business. Some pecuniary affair, we understand, was the cause of the act. In his death, Randolph county has lost one of her most talented citizens, besides tho irreparable loss sustained by a most interesting family. ♦- —— E'ire in Lumpkin. flic Hash, Door and Blind Factory in Lump kin, Ga., belonging to Mr. 1. M. Uox, was de stroyed by fire on Thursday morning last, lith instant. The Plaindoaler thinks it was the work of an incendiary, as it originated inside of tho building, and there had been no fire used thore for several hours previous to its discovery. Everything in tho building was lost, and Mr. C. has suffered to the amount of $2,000. ♦ There are eighteen establishments for manu facturing steel in our country ; these have a capacity for making 14,000 tons per auuum.— We have the best ores in the world for making steel — A Comparison. The Frcmonters have much to say about the large majorities of thou - caniidato in a few oi the States, particularly Massachusetts, New \ork, Maine and Vermont: but suppose wo take a look ul tho whole field. Wo shall then find that Fremont is farther behind in the popular than in the electoral vote. For it must be remembered that in fifteen States lie has no vote at all, or so few that they are not worth naming. Therefore the whole Buch anan vote of those fifteen States is much majority against Fremont. IVc are inclined to think that tho vote of the three candidates in the nation at large (counting South Carolina as Rd.OOO for Buchanan and nono fur cither of the other candidates) will ho in the neighbor hood of what follows, viz: Buchanan 1,750,000 Fremont 1,250,000 Fillmore 760,1X10 Total votes 3,71*0,000 Using a gain upon the Presidential vote of 1852 of about 700,000. The joint vote of Buchan an and Fillmore— that is to soy, the whole conservative vote of the country—is about 2,500,000, against 1,- 250,1)00 for Fremont; or in tbe proportion of twi> to one. This is un encouraging fact, and shows that the nation is not yet wholly given up to sectional aud suicide.— -Jour. 0/ Cow. - - • -♦ • 1 ■£’ “ Vou,” said a merchant to a clock, “ are a mere mechanical affair, while I have the principle of action in myself.” “ Very true,” replied the ilock; “but wheu you wind up your affairs, you stop business; wheu my af fairs are wound up, 1 go the longer for it.” I’D FIND ME A GRAVE.

Franco about to help Herself to a Slice of Territory. According to the latest advices from Paris, there is a prpsjpeqt of an additional silcc of Al i geria coming under the dominion of France.— The following is an extract from a Parisletter: “Marshal Ramlon has ieft Algiers to assume the command of expedition destined to op erate against tbs Kabyles. In Algeria the pre vailing sentiment now is that the Kabyß'amust be subdued at once and forever. ‘With the ex ception of the actual precipices,’ says an occa sional correspondent of the Times, writing from Algiers, ‘this Kabylia is all rich, cultiva ted land, covered with olive trees and corn fields. Even the precipices are covetable, for the French believe rich mineral crops may be obtained from them. A little nation of 700,- 000 souls posses some millions of acres of the very best land in all Africa, watered by three rivers and teeming with rich harvests. This little nation comes within two score leagues of Algiers, and cuts off the province of Algiers from that of Constantine, stopping French en gineers from taking their levels for the rail way between Algiers and Phillippeville, driv ing people who wish to tiavel by land to go south into the Sahara in order to get the prov ince of Constantine.’ The inhabitants, who arc of the Berber race gave the Romans no little trouble and they are still an enemy to be feared : but it is not expected that they will offer any protracted resistance to the French forces. From the mouiteur Algrien, we learn that the expeditionary force has already ob tained some advantages over the Kabyles, and that several shicks have*cnt in their submis sion. ♦ A Hearty Laugh. After all, what a capital, kindly, honest, jolly, glorious good thing a laugh is ! What a tonic! What a digester! What a febrifuge ! What an exerciser of evil spirits! Better than a walk before breakfast or a nap after dinner. How it shuts the mouth of malice, and opens the brow of kindness ! Whether it discovers tire gums of infancy or age, the grinders of folly or the pearls of beauty; whether it racks the sides and deforms the countenance Os vulgarity, or dimples the vis age or moistens the eye of refinement—in all its phases, and on all faces, contorting, relax ing, overwhelming, convulsing, throwing tho human form into the happy shaking and quak ing of idiotty, and turning the human coun tenance into Something appropriate to Billy Button’s transformation—under every circum stance, aud everywhere, a laugh is a glorious thing. Like “a thing of beauty” it is “a joy forever.” There is no remorse in it. It leaves no sting—except iu the sides, and that goes off’ Even a single unpai ticipated laugh is a great affair to witness. But it is seldom sin gle. It is more infectious than scarlet fever. Vou cannot gravely contemplate a laugh. ♦ Scene in a Kentucky Court* Iu the good old times of Kentucky, when “substantial justice “ was administered iu a cabin in a very free and easy manner, a suit was brought to recover certain moneys of which it was alleged plaintiff had been de fraudod by tho ingenious operation known as “thimble rigging. ’ In the course of the trial plaintiff’s couusel, who happened to be an ex pert. undertook to enlighten the court as to the modus operandi of tho performance. Tut ting himself into position, he produced the three cups aud the “little joker,’ ’ and pro ceeded, suiting the action to tho word. “Then, it may it please the court, the de fendant placing the cups on his knee thus, be gan shifting them so, ottering to bet that my client could not tell under which cup was the “little joker”—meaning thereby, may it please tho court, this ball—with the intention of de frauding my client of the sum thus wagered. For instance, when I rain'd the cup so, your honor supposes that you see the ball. “Suppose I sec!” interrupted the judge, who had closely watched the performance, and w.al sure that he detected the hall ns ono of the cups was accidentally raised. “Why, any fool can see where it is, aud bet on it and b~e suve to win. There ain't no defraudin’ thur.” “ Perhaps your honor would like to go a V on it,” insinuated the counsel. “Go a V Yes, and double it too, and bore’s the rliiuo. It's under the middle cup.” “I’ll go a V on that,” said the foreman of the jury” “An<M, and 1, joined iu the jurors one af ter the other, until each one had invested his pile. “ Up .’ ” said his honor. Tip,” it was, but the “little joker” had mysteriously disappeared. Judge mid jury were enliughteued and found no difficulty in bringing in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff’ on the ground that it was the “dermlest kind 0’ defraud iu.” His liouor ad journed tho Court, aud “stood for drinks all round,” iu consideration of being “let off” from • wager.

GENERAL ITEMS. _____ • “ Let me,” said Heinrich Heine, “become an old man, still loving youth, still, in spite of the feebleness of years, sharing in its gam bols, ami its dangers ; let my vuice tremble and weaken as it may, while the sense of the words it utters remains fresh with hope, and unpalsied with fear.” A good story is told of a Yankee who went for the first time into a bowling alley, and kept firing away at the pins to the imminent peril of the boy, who was actively engaged in en deavoring to avoid the balls of the player, which rattled on all sides of the pins without touching them. At length the fellow, seeing the predicament tho boy was in, yelled out, as be let drive another ball, “stand iu amongst tbe pins if you don’t want to got hit.” A gentleman in Oporto has been “astonish ing the natives” by walking on the river! He attached to his feet two large boat-fashioned shoes of tin, and thus prepared, accomplished hi safety a rather long “tramp” on the waters of the Douro ! The Jamaica Journal says that the present year’s crop of allspice—pimento—will fall far short of the ordinary average. Ia many par ishes it has failed. Many properties that have generally realized 2000 bags will not reap 100. Ex-Judge llaliburton, author of Sam Stick, the clock pedlar, has takeu a final farewell of Nova Seotiu as a place of residence, Clifton* his beautiful seat at Windsor, was sold some weeks since, and tbe old Judge has takeu his passage for Liverpool, to tuako his home in Great Britain for the remainder of his days. Twelve sportsmen went down from Peters burg, Va., to Broadway on the Appoiuntox on Wednesday in pursuit of sora. Upou counting the game, it was ascertained that the twelve had succeeded in killing sixteen hundred of the delicious birds. One gentleman alone real ized 220 as the result of his sport. The National Intelligencer says the proba bility is that the Tehuantepec carriage road will bo opened iu January next. A plan for the consolidation of Washington aud Georgetown, D. C., is now under the con sideration of the committees of the corpora tions of the two cities. The leading feature of the basis submitted by the Georgetown com mittee is, that Washington shall take George town and assume her debts, which are stated at §200,802. The indebtedness of Washington is about $875,000. The Wheelbarrow Political Wager. Boston, Nov. 7, 1850—Maj. Benjamin Per ley Poore, tire late Fillmore candidate for Con gress in the Sixth district, arrived in the-city this afternoon with his wheelbarrow and bar rel of apples, which he had wheeled all the way from Newburyport, a distance of thirty six miles, in two and a half days. The job was in fulfilment of a bet with Col. Burbank, the Fremont State Senator elect, that Fillmore would get more votes in Massachusetts than Fremont.. The Major, wheeling his apples, was escorted up State street, about 2 o’clock, by the Fillmore clubs to Boston and Charles town, a military company aud a mounted cav alcade of citizens. The novelty of the perfor mance collected many thousands of the people, and the Major was greeted with tremendous aud tumultuous applause on all sides. He delivered the apples to Col. Burbank on the steps of the Fremont House, where both gen tlemen delivered congratulatory speeches, mounted on the barrel. Ten thousand people were present. Re-Opening of the Slave ,T Tacle. U e have read with much pleasure several ably written articles from the pen of the ac complished editor of the Charleston Strndard, iu favor of the re-opening of the African slave trade. They have attracted much attention abroad, and in order that our readers may form au idea of the leading points in the ar guments advanced, we copy Hie following sum mary from the Abbeville Banner. e hope that the articles will be put in pamphlet form for distribution; and, in order to secure their re-publication, we would re spectfully suggest that the friends of the scheme, (among whom we beg leave to num bered,) take up subscriptions to defray tho expenses. ‘Ve presume that the work can be done in the Standard office, at a comparatively trifling cost. The following propositions are clearly es tablished by the Standard : “That equality of States is necessary to equality Os power in the States of the Union; that equality ot population is necessary to equality of power in the House of Represen tatives; that we cannot expand our labor into Territories, without decreasing it within tho States: that what is gained upon (he frontiers is lost at the centres-of the institution; that pauper white labor will not come in competi tion with our slaves; and if it did, that it would not increase the integrity and strength of slavery ; and that, therefore, to the equali ty of influence in the Federal Legislature, there is necessity for the slave trade. That without equality of power in the federal gov ernment, there is no liopo of an equality of rights; that there is no natural antagonism betweeu abolitionists and capital, and nu nec essary check of tho one upon the other; that both grasp at government—the one to control slaveay, tho other to control the South ; that they only differ in the fact, that while one would force, the other wonld toil us tosuljec tion; tHot our salvation is in our awn capa bilities of resistance; and that at last, if we would survive aud perpetuate our form of so ciety, we must equal the North, or we must be independent, and are driven, therefore, to the alternatives of dissolution or the slave trade.” — Carolina Times. Sunken War Vessels at Sebastopol to be Raised by an American. John E. Gowen, Esq., of city this, who is now in Russia, has just entered into contract with tho Russian Government to raise the ships of war and other vessels, 52 in number, suuk in the harbor of Sebastopol nt tbe time of the siege.
