To Correnpomleuts.
We most respectfully desire that all commu
nications intended for the Daily Sun be writ
ten with pen and ink, and not with a pencil.—
We cannot avoid errors when the pencil wri
ting is so easily defaced or obliterated. And
then too, only write on one side of the paper.
The Weather.
A drizzling rain commenced about twelve
o’clock on Wednesday night, and continued
all the day yesterday, and up to the time of
going to press, the clouds looked darkly lower
ing and auspicious of a bountiful supply of
rain. We beseech the clerk of the weather to
send enough of “dampness” to put and keep
our river in a navigable condition for the resi
due of the business season.
To Our City Subscribers.
We will be under obligations to city subscri
bers to the Sun, if they will promptly report
any failures or dclinquences on the part of our
carriers in furnishing them with their papers.
The list of our carriers in the city being
large, it is possible, that some person may be
neglected, and as we desire to please all, we
shull find a proper remedy, if we are notified
of the short comings of our carriers.
American Nomination—A Tie.
The nomination between Messrs. Hughes &
Mahaffey for City Marshal, which was held
at the “Sunny South” liar Hoorn yesterday
evening resulted in a tie—each candidate re
ceiving 118 votes.
We are informed the candidates have agreed
to try it over again at the same place on Sat
urday evening next. Polls open from 4to 8
o’clock.
Steamer Cusacta.
This steamer, commanded by Captain Stub
blefield, left Apalachicola, on the 13th instant,
heavily freighted with merchandise for this
place, and made good her way to Gilmore
Shoals, where she now awaits a rise in the ri
ver to enable her to reach our port.
We have been sorely exercised by not receiv
ing that barrel of Oysters shipped to us by our
old friend, J. L. Wyman, of the Apalachicola
Advertiser. Wo hope someone has enjoyed
those bivalves, although a low river denied us
the pleasure of partaking of them. Friend
Wyman must have deserted bis post at “the
pump,” or else we would have received the
shipment. Our disappointment is so great
that wo hardly know whether to excuse him
or not! Whenever “that pump” becomes in
working order, we “shall have no serious ob
jections if” that invoice is promptly duplica
ted T No tlx Verrons.
Betting on Elections
We porceivo by the Presentments of the
Grand Jury of Richmond county, Georgia, that
election wagers are included in the various
evils presented by the Inquest, and they rec
ommend that the General Assembly of Georgia
make such stringent enactments as will effec
tually prevent that species of gambling.
The Buckites, now that they have won all
the boots, bats, clothing, money, etc., that the
Know Nothings could ante up, have no objec
tions for the law to suppress betting on spavined
presidential racers, to go, with full force and
virtue, into immediate effect, for at least the
term of four years!
For the sorrow wo feel for the misfortunes of
our friends of the Enquirer and Montgomery
Mail, we most sincerely wish that it had have
become a statute some twelve moons ago.
Bank of Hamburg*
We were shown yesterday, a counterfeit
Fifty Dollar Bill, on the Bank of Hamburg, S.
('. It was dated Nov. 1851—No. 510.
Letter A.
We were also preseut when it was examined
by a competent judge, who pronounced the
bill spurious. On the genuine bill of this
bank, there is not to bo found on the left end
of tlie note the word “Fifty ” as it is on the
counterfeit. Prom the general appearance of
it, the bill lias passed through many hands,
and it was well calculated to deceive thoso not
fully posted in the art of detection.
The bill, wc understand, was sent from ouo
of the lower counties of Alabama, to this
city.
Thf Brig F. xcel.
This vessel which sailed some time since
from New York for Savannah, from violent
weather became unseaworthy and bud to put
into Philadelphia for repairs.
A large portion of her cargo was for this
city, and from a letter from the Central Hail
Hoad Agent at Savaunah, requesting a copy of
invoice from a merchant here, who had mer
chandize on the Brig, wo infer her cargo is
badly damaged. Wc trust our merchants had
a full insurance on their goods.
Shot by Accident.
We find in the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal
that a most painful accident bofel Mr. Wtu.
Montague, aged eighteen or nineteen years,
and son of Mr. Putriek Montague, of Long
Creek, New Hanover county, on the 13th inst.
Being in a boat in the crook, he shot a robin
which fell ii& sort of a lagoon, and after he
had reloaded his gun with duck shot, he pro
ceeded to wade to got his bird, and while wad
ing the lagoon or swamp, his foot slipped and
the breech of his gun, which he had placed on
the log to steady himself, slipped until the cock
struck the log and the contents of both barrels
lodged in bis left side. From the proximity
of the muzzle of the gun to his breast, the
wound was a terrible one. There nre but lit
tle hopes entertained of his recovery. From the
many accidents occurring from the careless
use of fire arms, too much care and precau
tion cannot be obaerved and exercised.
Another Insurrection Defeated.
Mr. Graves, Postmaster at Jiallettsviile, La
vaca county, Texas, writes to. the Galveston
Civilian, of the 9th iustaat, stating that a plot
had been discovered of an intended rising iu
tiiat neighlKirhood, on the 31 st of October. The
citizens immediately met together at the resi
dence of Mr. J. E. Martin, and examined his
negroes and some others. They learned that
Mr. Davidson and two other men were at the
head of the insurrection; that the place of
rendezvous was a point called Pecan Mott, on
the dividing ridge between Hallettsvillo and
the Gaudalupe; and that the negroes on the
Guadalupe would meet them there. They
were to visit the residences of their masters,
kill them, and take all the arms and ammuni
tion they could get, and fight their way to
Mexico. Davidson has been arrested, and
has made a confession implicating a man nam
ed Mobley.
Cotton Packing.
The following statement on behalf of tho
Liverpool Americau Chamber of Commerce and
the Cotton Brokers’Association, respecting the
evils arising from the false packing of cotton,
appears in the Liverpool Times of ihe 29th
October:
Liverpool, Oct. 23.
To the Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans,
Mobile, Charleston and Savannah, and to all
concerned in tho cotton trade of the United
States;
“The magnitude and importance of the com
merce of Great Britain with the United States
in the article of cotton, is sufficiently known,
and to those who are acquainted with the de
tails of the trade it is a matter of satisfaction
that the machinery by which the distribution
of so enormous a quantity of material is effec
ted has, up to this time, worked so smoothly,
owing to the honorable character of all con
cerned, from the planter to the manufacturer.
But in order to sustain the character of the
trade, and to retain the mutual confidence
which has hitherto existed, it is essential that
every sample of cotton offered in the market
should fairly represent the quality of the bulk
from which it is taken, us every deviation from
this rulo tends to create a distrust.
Os late, however, so many instances of care
less packing have occurred, causing a discrep
ancy between the sample and the bulk, that
serious loss has been sustained, both by the
manufacturer and the merchant, and it has
become a duty to call the attention, not only
of the American planters and factors, whose
reputation is thereby injured, but also of the
trade generally, to the preseut growing in
crease in the proportion of irregular and falso
packed bales, and to invite their serious con
sideration of the evils which must inevitably
follow the continuance of the practice, and to
solicit their assistance in checking it.
Inmost cases, the irregular packing is only
discovered when the bale has reached its ulti
mate destination and is opened by the manu
facturer, and the trouble, cost and inconveni
ence of re-packing and returning the bale, and
the trouble and difficulties which attend a pro
secution of his claim have frequently induced
him to bear the loss in silence. Similar rea
sons have prevailed with the merchant to suf
fer the loss resulting from such cotton, return
ed by the manufacturer, rather than resort to
the tedious and often useless process of seeking
redress against the planter abroad.
It is on this account that so few instances
have occurred iu which the real offender has
borne the consequences of his neglect, and,
presuming on this forbearance, the evil com
plained of has, from carelessness or otherwise,
increased to sucli an extent that, in a large
proportion of shipments arriving iu Liverpool,
instances of fulse or irregular packing are dis
covered, and occasionally whole parcels, con
sisting of 20, 50 and even 100 lbs. are found
mixed in the bale and sometimes plated: in
other words the outer layer, from which the
sample is taken, is more or less superior iu
quality to the interior of the bale.
It is hopeil that all parties will see the ur
gent necessity of promptly co-operating to stop
and remove this serious and increasing evil,
which will otherwise disorganize the trade, and
destroy that mutual trust and confidence with
out which such an extensive and important
branch of commerce cannot be carried on.

New Territorial Application.
Auother Territory, we learn, is about to be
organized by a portion of its inhabitants. On
the Ist of September, an election was held at
various points in the Gadsden Purchase for del
egates to tho Territorial Legislature of New
Mexico, and a delegate to Congress. The lat
ter, it is expected, will present to Congress a
petition for the seperationof the Gadsden Pur
chase from the northern part of New Mexico,
and the erection of an independent Territorial
Government. To this post, Mr. It. P. Cook
was chosen. How much of New Mexico they
desire to have included with the new Territory,
we are not informed; but the advocates of the
separation says that the country is naturally
divided, by that intervention of deserts and
mountains, into two States or government ju -
risdictions. The Gadsden Purchase, or Arri
zonia, as tho residents sometimes style it, con
tains a total population of perhaps a thousand
persons, of which one-half are Indians, and a
third Mexicans of a very low class. The rest
nro Americans and Germans. The principal
village is Tucson (Tooksone), which aspires to
be the capital of the new State. There is a
fort iu the vicinity of the place, with a small
garrison of United States troops.
Firo in Augusta-
A fire occurred yesterday, about eleven
o'clock a. m., in a stable on the North side of
Ellis street, in the rear of the United States
Hotel. A horse, carriage and someone or
two other vehicles, provender, Ac., with the
stable, were burnt up. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but supposed to be result of care
lessness. The property belonged to Mrs. W.
W. Montgomery.
If it had not boen for the timely service ren
dered by C. A. l’latt & Co.’s steam engine, to
which is attached long hose, the damage would
doubtless have been very groat. On many oc
casions, l’latt’s engine has, in a similar way,
rendered invaluable service to our community;
and regret that there are not many more such
engines in the hands of equally enterprising
citizens among us.— Constitutionalist , 19 th.
Beautiftil Marble.
We noticed, among the many beautiful spe
cimens of the natural productions of Alubaum,
exhibited at our late Stnte Fair, one of the
handsomest articles of white marble we have
seen. It was taken from the Quarry of Dr.
Edward Gantt, of Syllacoga, in Talladega
county. This geutleman, we are informed, is
engaged extensively in the manufacture of
marble, and we would recommend those who
desire to purchase, to examine the speci
men, and give him a call.— Montr/omen/ Jour
nal.
Missouri.
Returns, full aud partial, have been received
from twenty-seven counties in this State, which
foot up:
Fillmore 15,256
Buchanan 13,128
Fillmore’s majority 2,128
This includes Linn county, which gives Bu
chanan a majority of 17—a Democratic loss;
Lafayette, (partial) which gives Fillmore a ma
jority of 522; and Halls, which gives a major
ity of 137 for Fillmore.
These twenty-seven counties, in August last,
gave for Governor : Ewing 18,400 , Polk and
Benton 20,030.’ This shows that Buchanan
docs not receive the united vote of Benton and
Polk, but that Fillmore gets the largest share
of the voto cast for Benton.— Louisville Cou
rier. ,
Luxurious Rnil Road Cars,
The Detroit Advertiser says the cars on the
Illinois Central Railroad, for comfort and con
venience, excel those of any other road iu the
West. One of them contains six sthte rooms,
cacli room having two seats with cushioned
back, long enough for a person to lie upon.—
The backs of the seats are hung with hinges
at the upper edge, so that they may be turned
up at pleasure, thus forming two single berths,
one over the other, where persons may sleep
with all the comfort imaginable. In one end
of the car is a small wash room, with marble
wash bowls, looking glassos, etc. On the op
posite side of the car from the state room is a
row of seats with revolving backs, similar to
barber’s chairs, so arranged that the occupant
may sit straight or recline in any easy attitude
at pleasure. The other five cars have each two
or three similar state rooms.
Widows.
We think it is “Sam Slick” (Judge llalibur
ton, of Nova Scotia) who draws this rnpid
sketch of Widows. He is almost a successful
rival of the Senior Weller:
“Widows are the very mischief. There’s
nothing like ’em. If they make up their
minds to marry, it’s done. I knew one that
was terribly afraid of thunder and lightning;
and every time a storm came on she would run
into Mr. Smith’s house (Smith was awidower),
aud clasp.her little bonds, aud fly around like
a hen with her head cut off, till the man was
half distracted for fear she would be killed;
and the consequence was, she was Mrs. John
Smith before three thunder storms rattled over
her beau. How many they had arter that, I
don’t eazackiey know myself!”
Personal Difficulty.
The Greensborough Times understands that
an altercation took place on Monday in tlic
streets of Raleigh, between Hon. Kenneth Ray
nerand Mr. Holden of the Standard. It seems
that Mr. Rayner, pending the Presidential
election made a speech in Philadelphia, and
that Mr. Holden had made some very strong
restrictions upon his remarks. It was sup
posed that Mr. Rayner was armed, but he
showed no weapons, except his cane, with
which he struck Mr. Holden several blows.—
By the intervention of mutual friends, the
parties were finally induced to separate. —
They were afterwards bound over to keep the
peace in a sum of $ 1,000.
Judge Douglas’ Marriage.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, says:
Judge Douglas is expected here about the
middle of next week. Shortly after his arrival
—I believe the day is not yet fixed —he is to
be united to the very embodiment of youth,
beauty and accomplishment; indeed, she has
been considered the belle’ of the city for some
, time. Miss. Coutts, for that is her name, is
from one of the oldest families in Virginia.—
The knot is to be tied iu this city, iu the holy
Catholic church—for she is a Catholic—and the
highest dignitaries of the land will assist at
the gala.
Important Decision.
The Secretary of the Interior has reversed
the decision of the late Commissioner of Pen
sions in regardto what constitutes a warrant en
titling soldiers to bounty land. The decision of
tho Secretary will entitle regulars and others
who have been eugaged in any of the conflicts
with the Indians ou the Pacific, New Mexico,
and on the plains, to warrants under the recent
acts of Congress. The Secretary takes the
ground that Congress in ten'led to provide for
all cases where the circumstances actually con
stituted what might, with propriety, be styled
war, in which life was imminently imperilled.
Old Buck Taking a Wife.
It is rumored that Mr. Buchanan does not
intend to undertake the occupancy of the White
House alone. He feels the necessity of a help
meet, and is said to have made arrangements
for a joint tenancy with an accomplished Sou
thern widow who has already had the advan
tage of four year’s experience in that position.
Death from Coal Gas.
A man named George McDonald, captain of
a canal boat, and his boy, aged twelve years,
named Kdward Porter, were suffocated to death
on Friday last, at Lambertvillc, N. J., by gas
fruu burning coal. Ou retiring for the night
they placed the stove near tho door of the
cabin, and secured the latches and doors above
so tightly us to exclude ventilation. In the
morning the boy was found dead, and the man
insensible, and continued so until Sunday eve
ning, when he died. The jury of inquest ren
dered a verdict of death by suffocation.
Another Step Forward.
The passenger trains on the Memphis and
Charleston Rail Road now extend their trips to
Corinth, the junction with the MobileandOhio
Railroad. Tiius the road progresses steadily
forward, auk every month lessens tho extent
cf the gap betweeu the western and eastern
divisions of the road. Tho track laying will
be pushed forward from both ends with all en
ergy, and tho connection through will, in all
probability, be completed by March, according
to the Memphis Bulletin.

Washington Loved His Mother.
Immediately after the organization of the
present government, Washington repaired to
Fredericksburg, to pay his humble duty to his
mother, preparatory to his departure to New
York. An affecting scene ensued. The son
feelingly remarked the ravages tottering dis
ease had made upon the aged frame of his
mother, and thus addressed her :
“The people, madam, have beeu pleased
with the most flattering unanimity, to elect me
to the chief magistracy of the United States,
but before I can assume the functions of that
office, I have come to bid you an affectionate
farewell. So soon as the publie business,
which must necessarily be encountered iu ar
ranging anew government, can bu disposed of,
I shall hasten to Virginia and”—Hero the
mother interrupted him. “You will soe me
no more. My great age, aud the disease that
is fast approaching my vitals, warn me that I
shall not be long iu this world. I trust iu
God, 1 am somewhat prepared for a better.—
But. go, George, fulfill the high destinies which
heaven appears to assign you ; go, my soil,
and may that heaven’s and your mother's blegs
ing be with you always.”
The President was deeply affected. His
head rested upon the shoulder of his parent,
whose aged arm feebly, yet fondly encircled
his neck. The brow, ou which fame had
wreathed tho purest laurel virtue ever gave to
created man relaxed from its lofty hearing.
That look which could have awed a Roman
Senator in its Fabrican day, was bent in filial
tenderness upon the time worm features of this
venerable matron.
The great man wept. A thousand recollec
tions crowded . upon his mind, as memory,
tracing scenes long past, carried him back to
his paternal mansion, and the days of youth ;
and there the center of attraction was his mo
ther, whose care, instruction and discipline 4 hud
prepared him to reach the topmost of lauda
ble ambition ; yet how were his glories forgot
ten while be gazed upou her from whom wast
ed by time and malady, he must soon part to
meet no mure.
The matron’s predictions were true. The
disease which had so long preyed upon her
frame, completed its triumph, aud she expired
at the ago of eighty-five, confiding in the
promise of iunuotaiity to the humble believer.
Remember his story, little children. Wash
ington, you know, was a great man. AVo shall
never expect to soe any little boy become a
great man who does not love his mother.
Legal Ignorance.
An European correspondent ol’ the New
York Tribune writes: “An authentic anecdote
about Francis Joseph is so characteristic of
that Emperor that I cannot withhold it from
your readers. At the late flying interview be
tween the King of Prussia and Emperor of Aus
tria, at Topilitz, in Bohemia, Frederick AVil
liam introduce Baron lliinboldt to Francis Jo
seph. The Emperor upon this asked the King
who Baron Humboldt was, since he had never
heard his name before. The King of Prussia
was quite astonished at such a display of im
perial ignorance, and emphatically replied,
•lie is the greatest man since the deluge.’”

Preserve Your Hair.
To thoso who are not aware that each parti

through which the fluids circulate which con

While preparations of this nature were entrus
