Just after bantling the copy to the Com po'sitor, wo learned on responsible authority, that tho city of Columbus contains at present an individual, a Jeweller by profession, (and How iif tho employ of one of our oldest Mer chants), wim openly avows that if there had have been a Fremont electoral ticket in Geor gia, he would have supported it with his vote. And at, the same time and place (a private boarding house), he made the expression that he would as soon gallant a negro weuch to church as any white lady in Columbus! Now we would advise this fellow to ‘‘vamoose the rnnche,” for the reason that some of our citizens are speaking of tho essence of pitch pine, and enquiring the price of leathers.— They further intimato that this town is too small for a man of his dimensions, ltails, tar, leathers and water are to bo had here iu the greatest abundance. Individual, take up thy kit and leave in double quick time ! Shriek Harriet Bebclier Stowe!—Howl, Hor ace (freely! howl! Pistols and Coffee. The Savannah Journal of the 20th instant contains the following paragraphcommentate ry on the combative propensities of the Mnseo geeans: “For a place doing a lively business in tho cutting and shooting lino commend us to Col umbus. No lack of startling “locals” in that little (ahem !) city. Wo look for a report of a light in each issue of tho Sun newspaper of that ilk, with almost as much confidence as we dn for an account of cotton sales in tho Now’ Orleans Price Current.” We would inform our contemporary that the Sun must, and will have “startling locals,” and would raise a row itself if att item could be produced in no other way. And were it not for tho local items in the Sun the country press would have a hard time to get along. Those of our friends at a distance who have good uso of their underpinnings need have no fear. Columbus boys care no more for the reception of an ounce or two of lead, or a cu bit of cutlery, than Satan does for holy water. Wo sometimes think this very “lively business” in cutting and shooting is gotten up expressly for the purpose of furnishing “startling locals” for tho Suit. Our boys are all true gauio—no shanghai about thorn, Mr. Journal. Take our word for it; and if your incredulity should cause you to try their grit, Savannah might he deprived of one of her best denizens! T’is tols and Coffee!—Bowies and Beef! Hurrah for Muscogee! Communication. W'e Hatter ourselves that we possess too much gallantry to refuse to publish the follow ing note sent us by a female correspondent, aud therefore give it without further remark or comment, by saying it would make a good leader for a temperance newspaper: Deau Mn. Sun :— ln reading and heartily admiring the course pursued by the citizens of Americas upon the occasion of the suicide iu that town, it occurred to me, that they did not go far enough back—to the root of the matter. They proscribed gambling, but where was the drinking? Would a matt in his senses which (iod has given him, gamble ? It is only men whose reason is obscured and clouded, who go to such places, and no one but knows it to he trite, that the lovo of liquor, and the exoito ment it causes temporarily, has in our unhap py county, taken tho place of the lovo of mo ney, which the Apostle Paul tells us is the root of all evil. Lot men make it odious to be seen iu drinking shops, and let the keepers of them be sent to Coventry by the gentlemen (if there tire any such left) and abovo all, let the ladies avoid a drinker, even n moderate one, and we would have peqce and happiness at heme and abroad, instead of meeting pale faced, blear eyed men, and pale faced women ui every turn, with eyes worn out with watch ing and tears for husbands and sons ! Let the “Sun’s” rays help dry up such tears, and you will be doing a good work for your country. Nov. 14. > A Sufferer. Dentil of Judfce Larue. The Now Orleans True Delta announces the death of Judge John (’. Larue, of that city, on tlie afternoon of Sunday, the 10th instant. Judge Larue was once the Judge of the Crim inal Court of New Orleans, a member of tho Louisiana Legislature, of the Press, and of the liar. His unexpected death produced a pro found sensation in the community and deep re gret in a large circle of his acquaintance. Tho Delta gives a truthful, hut rapid sketch of tho Judges life and character. Death of Prof. N. M. Hentz. We see it announced in the last number of the Marianna Patriot that Mr. Nicholas Mar cellus Uentz, husband of the late Mrs. Caroline Lee Heutz, died in Marianna on tho 4th Inst., in the 69th year of his age. Like his lamented consort he is said to have possessed talents of (thigh order. He was for many years a Pro fessor iu the University of North Carolina, and for several years a citizen of Columbus. IJiin self and lamented lady had charge for several years of the Female Academy iu our city, and his former pupils will shed a tear of sorrow over the grave of their beloved teacher and friend. His Odd Fellow brethren in this place, will also be pained on hearing of his demise. Peace to his ashes! Awful Wages. We learn from the Tribune of Tuesday, that steamboat hands are demanding $76 per month In Mobile ; S6O to SOO and found are offered. Seamen are deserting to get these prices.— There is a great scarcity of laborers, aud they wish to make a pile before the great decline of wages expected next Spring. The New Steamer “LaGrande.” The Mobile Register, of Tuesday, says: Capt. Wainwright’s new steamer LaGrande—a light draft, elegant craft—now lies at tho Wharf, where she arrived during the night of Saturday. She is intended as a consort for the Henry J. King, and will make her first trip up the Alabama this evening. She was built in New Albany.—would it had been in Mobile — and is elegantly fitted up for the triple. She has -14 state rooms in all, and draws but little water, which is a great desideratum iu tho present state of the river. She has two engines, and capacity for IGQO bales, and be ing in command of an officer so well known, and having Wm. D. Dunn f*v her cbeif clerk, she has the prestige of success for her owners, and comfort for her patrons. For tin* Daily Fun. ’TOTHEII HORN! A REPLY To the Author of “Amateur Musicians.” JiY WLi.KHIJKY.

Cotton Gin Attachment. We saw yesterday in operation, a Cotton Gin in connection with Purdons Patent Gin Attach ment and Trasher. It seems to work well aud we think it is an improvement of much value. Tite attachment consists of a circular right and left screw plate, the revolution of which causes tho cotton box to move horizontally and distributes the cotton uniformly. The cot ton in the box rests upon a net of wire so con structed as to let all the dust and seed drop through as the cotton is rolled over by the cyl inder of the machine. The cotton is rolled longitudinally, so that anew surfarce is con stantly presented to the machine. It is said that the machine will gin from 20 to 50 per cent, more in a given time with the attachment than without it, aud that tho staple is much better when ginned with tho attachment. The inventor is a citizen of Jackson, Miss., and has been for a long time editor of one of the papers in that place. The agent for the state is Mr. Newton J. Wilson, who can be seen at the Pattison llouso, or at J. 1). Spear & Co.’s Foundry, where tho machine may seen in operation.— Mobile Tribune. *•— - ■ Sad Casualty. Two or three days since an old gentleman, some 70 years of age, was found drowned iu Tallasseehatchie, about 15 miles below this place. The bank was steep at the entrance, and it is supposed he fell in as the horse en tered the water, where it was not more than 12 or 18 inches deep. When found, his gun lay by his side, his head on some drift, his hands crossed ou his breast, aud one of them gras ping leaves and mud from the bottom. His faithful dog met those who found him, manifes ting great uneasiness until the body was discov ered, and then immediately went home. It is supposed the man was intoxicated.—Jackson ville Ala. Republican. Our Rail Road. We are informed of the arrival of twobnrges at Selma loaded with iron for Rail Road. This is truly encouraging, as the promptitude and efficiency of Judge Walker leave us no room for doubt, that the work will be pushed rapidly and surely to its completion. Every day serves to show the practical wisdom of the se lection of this gentleman for the superinten dence of an enterprise, in which our people are so much interested. If the river continues navigable, we may soon expect to have the stillness of our lovely valleys broken by tho rattle of the car and the whistle of the loco motive.—lhllaricya (Ala.)

So say all the tel egraphs, newspapers and railroad passengers. “Egypt” has been heard from ! The Quakers have voted ! Illinois lias passed through an ordeal of fire, fusionism, and fanaticism, such as no other State iu the Union, uot excepting Pennsylvania, has been subjected to, and site lias cotne out of it with blood upon her gar ments, but victory upon her banners! There never before was known such a campaign.— Banks, Burlingame, Biddings, Nye, Bradburn, Carter, “little dogs’ and all,” have been sent from every disposable quarter, into that State, to hound, howl and bark down Douglas and the Democracy there. Five Fusion papers iu Chi cago, and fifty Fusion Preachers throughout the State, loaned their lungs to increase the clamor. The “Little Giant” became aroused, and with his right-hand man, Richardson, they stumped the State. Whenever they found a fusiotiist they left a hide and a little lock of hair “parted in the middle.” It is by the en ergies and eloquence of those menanu the sim ple power of truth, that Illinois has been saved front the fangs of fanaticism. Would there were a Douglas iu every State.— Cleveland Plniudcaler. ———•— Oinosao, November 17. —OurState Legisla ture stands as follows: Senate, 13 Democrats and 12 Republicans, besides the Speaker, Lieu tenant Gov.

The following letters appeared in the San Francisco papers about the l&tli of October: Wheatland, near Lancaster, Pa., \ Wednesdayv Sept. 17, 185(1. j To B. F. Wuebiugtbn, Esq. r , ; Chairman of the Democratic Central Committed of California. Sir : 1 have received numerous communica tions from sources in California entitled'to high regard, in reference to tho proposed Pacific Railroad. As it would be impossible for mo to answer them all, l deem it most proper and respectful to address you a general answer in your official capacity, In performing this du ty to the citizens of California, I act in perfect consistency with the self-imposed restriction contained in my letter accepting the nomina tion for Presidency, not to answer interroga tories raising new and different issues from those presented by the Cincinnati Convention, because that Convention has itself adopted a resolution in favor of this great work. 1 then desire to state, briefly, that concur ring with the Convention, 1 am decidedly fa vorable to the construction of the Pacific Rail road ; and l derive the authority to do this from tho constitutional power “to declare war,” and the constitutional duty “to repel inva sions.” In my judgment Congress possesses the same power to make appropriations for the construction of this road, for tite purpose of national defence, that it lias to erect fortifica tions at tile mouth of the harbor of Ban Fran cisco. Indued, tee necessity, with a view to repel foreign invasion from California, is as great in tho one case as in the other. Neither will there be danger from the precedent, for it is almost impossible to conceive that any case attended by such extraordinary and unprece dented circumstances can ever again occur in our history. l'ours, very respectfully, Jambs Buchanan. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 30, 1856. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., in which you inquire whether my sentiments remain the same in reference to internal improvement by the general government, and specially with ref erence to a railroad to California, as they were in 1350, when I sent my first annual messago to Congress. In reply to your inquiry, permit me to state that 1 have invariably refused to pledge my self to any particular course of policy in case of my election to the Presidency. My past life is the only guarantee which 1 can give for my future conduct. But I have no hesitation in saying t :at I ltave seen no cause to change my sentiments on the subjects of your inquiry; aud consequently they remain the same as they were when I penned ray annual message to Congress in 1850. Millard Fillmore. A Solemn Event. The North Carolina Advocate relates the following touching incident: “We learn from a reliable source that a revival is in progress ou the Sampson circuit. Brother Martin has given us no account if it as yet. It is said that at an early stage of a meeting at McGhees meeting house, in that circuit, a few days ago, the preacher dwelt at length upon the uncer tainty of human life, and remarked that it was possible that some person present was listen ing to the last sermon. An old lady* a respec table and pious member of the Baptist Church, was sitting in the congregation, apparently in good health and entirely composed. When the preacher called the congregation to prayer, she knelt, no one observing any movement or anything unusual about her.— When the congregation arose, she was discov ed remaining ou her knees with her hand clenched on the back of her seat, and on ex amination was found to be entirely dead. Her spirit had tied, we trust to a better land.— What a scene! to go from a church to the presence of God—from one’s knees to the heavenly home! ” Disastrous Fire in Jacksonville, Fla. The Jacksonville News of Saturday last says: “A large part of the business portion of our town is again in ruins. This morning a little before day, the fire was discovered issuing from the upper story window of the long wood en building owned by T. (>. Holmes, Esq., and in a few minutes the whole building was in flames. The fire of course could not be chock ed, so closely jammed were the buildings, and in less than an hour, the whole now known as “ Holmes Row,” extending down to and inclu ding the store and warehouse occupied by Messrs. Bisboe & Cunova, was consumed.— Most of tho goods we believe were saved.— The principal losers are Messrs. Bisbee & Ca nova, J. A. Barbee, J. B. D. Hanltam. T. 0. Holmes, T McMillan, 0. DeWall, Mr. Vaness, Capt. H. E. Clark, Henry E. Holmes, Mr. Lu cas and Mr. Holloman. We have not learned whether there was much insurance on the property or not, but presume most of the goods wero covered. The fire was beyond doubt tho work of an incendiary.” France. Napoleon on one occasion remarked:— “Something’ new must be done every three months to captivate the imagination of the French nation—with them, whoever stands still is ruined.” Louis Napoleon appears to have acted upon the above maxim since lie reached the highest position in France. He has kept his subjects actively occupied, giving them but little time to censure his acts, or hatch mischievous plots. The financial condition of France is said to lie at this time in a somewhat embarrassed condi tion. The people are begining to murmur, and sagacious politicians, are wondering what the Emperor will do next! Will he quarrel with England, Austria, or Spain ? or will he shako his fist at Jonathan across the Atlantic? He must keep moving. “If lie stands still, he is ruined.”— Portfolio. An Abolitionist Umoked Out. Tite people Madison comity, Florida, discov ering that they had an abolitionist residing among them—George Eason I’olson by name— called a meeting to consider liis case. Evi dence being produced under oatli that he was, by his own confession, an iibolitiouist of the Greeley, perhaps even of the Garrison stamp, the meeting resolved to give him notice to quit. This was done on penalty of 39 lashes in case of his refusal, to be repeated in double dose in case of further refusal. He left. His family was assisted by the citizens with means to en able them to follow him,— S<tv. Jour. Mammoth Sweet Potatoe. We are indebted to Mr. Charles Waters fur a very large sued stud curiously formed sweet pot*toe, raised on his place at Amite City. It is about six feet long, and has the appearance of a number of potatoes attached to each other, being shaped like a vine, and its proportions being alternately largo and small. It is deci dedly a great vegetable curiosity.— X. O. DA ta. , Death of Gen. Trist. The officers of the steamer D. Jr., from llayou Sara, informs us that (Jeu. H. P.

A correspondent of one of our northern weeklies, furnishes the only full account of the late fatal duel near Charleston, S. C., which has been published. He says : Mr. Taber was a young man, influentially connected. His abilities were of the first or der, and his prospects of attaining future dis tinction as a public man, brilliant in the ex treme. He was fearless, almost to audacity, and enjoyed considerable reputation as a du elist. Magrnth, though a young man of a family remarkable for talent, was regarded as one of those quiet, easy, harmless, good na tured fellows, who never trouble themselves nbout anything, and glide so smoothly down the stream of life, that not a ripple is left to mark their truck. * * * Magratli knew little or nothing of the man agement of a pistol, and nothing whatever of duelling. Both he and his opponent exhibi ted tile utmost sang froid. The distance be tween them was but ten paces. It was arrang ed that they should fire “on the rise,” that is, when in the act rising, instead of whilst low ering their weapons. Just imagiue the scene. The seconds take their places. The trembling spectators retire still further from tho neigh borhood of the duelists. “Gentlemen,” say the seconds, “are your ready?” “Yes,” is the reply. “Prepare to fire! ” “Fire!—One—two—three ! ” The repovts aro heard almost simultaneous ly ; a slight smoke envelops the combatants, and their friends run up to them. Neither is found to be hurt. An effort is made at re concilliation, but without effect. The pistols are again loaded, the principals again take their places, aud again the words : “Fire !-one two—three!” are heard. This time Magratk’s bullet raised the dust near Taber’s foot, possi bly striking his boot, but no further injury is done. A second and more prolonged effort at an amicable adjustment follows. “What do you require ? ” is asked of Ma gratk. “1 shall be satisfied,” says lie, “with a with drawal of the objectionable articles and the ex pression, on the part of the editors of the Mercury, of regret at their appearauce.” “No, no,” Taber replies in iiis quick nervous manner—‘ no regret —never, sir—l shall dis claim them, but never express regret for their publication! ” All peaceful interfenoe is now seen to he fu tile. Again the pistols are loaded, and the princi pals walk up to the posts. The crowd recedes —the seconds take their stands—the pistols are presented—the order—“ Fire !—One—two —three !” is given—the quick rat tat is heard before the last word is uttered, and Taber is seen to stagger backwards, real and fall. The people rush up and see the blood oozing out of his forehead. “Back, gentlemen,” shouts the surgeon, “clear off, that we may have room to aid the wounded man.” . Alas, poor fellow, he is now beyond aid from human agency. A Spasm or two and all is over with him—here. The Negro Troubles in Tennessee. A correspondent writing from Lafaj'ette, Nov. 2d, to the Memphis Enquirer, gives the following account of the recent excitement in Fayette county, Tennessee. ‘ The facts relative to the alarming and conflicting reports in re gard to the contemplated insurrection in this vicinity as they actually occurred, are as fol lows : On Tuesday morning a negro girl of Mr. G. W. Vaudel’s, who is engineer at Mr. It. Green’s steam mill, three miles below this, informed her mistress that she had been told by one of the negro men at the mill the night before that the negroes all intended rising on the day of the election; and that their plan was to take advantage of the absence of the white men on that day, and while they were all from home at the polls voting, to kill all the women and children, get all the money and arms, and waylay the men on their return home from the election, and murder them; and then make for the railroad cars, take them and go to Memphis, where they would find arms and friends from up the river to carry them off to the free states, if the}’ did not succeed in ta king this country. Mrs. V. communicated all this to her husband, who said nothing until night, when he and his wife waylaid the cabins and overhead a similar conversation among the negroes themselves. He the next day had them all, some thirty-two in number, arrested and tried, when proof sufficient was adduced for the magistrate to commit twenty-three of .them to jail at Sommerville, which was accord ingly done. The excitement was very great for several days, but it has now pretty much subsided. We have put out a vigilant patrol, and all is now becoming tranquil. Facts were brought to light sufficient to satisfy all present, not on ly of the guilty intentions of some six or eight of the negroes arrested, but it was made clear to the minds of thinking men present, that the thing was not confined to this particular neigh borhood, but that they expected to act in con cert with various others in the surrounding counties and states. 1 simply write you this statement to correct the many false and unjust reports that have been circulated—such as, that six or eight negroes had been hung by the mob at Lafayette depot. No such thing. We are law-abiding citizens about here, and as such, do not like such reports to get out. Since writing the above I have just heard that the patrol company across the river, near Macon, have arrested a white man, who says his name is Williams. He was found, as I un derstood, in one of the negro cabins after twelve o’clock at night, and as he had no one who was known, to vouch for him, he was also committed to jail. I give this as a report. Gutta Percha Hoops. The Philadelphia Sun says : As the ladies have stretched the fashion of wearing hooped skirts to such an aplitudethat whalebone is be come scarce, it is a matter of congratulation that ingenuity has found a gutta percha sub stitute, and Mrs. 11. G. Suplee, of 204 J fhes nut-stroet, has made arrangements for a con stant supply. The new article has mnny ad vantages over the old; it is more durable and not so heavy ; it may be compressed to get in to a carriage or through a barn door, with elasticity sufficient to resume its shape immedi ately, and the ends can be united by means of hot water, so that they will not spring out from the casings. The Hon. E. Farrington Cabell, for two or three terms the able, popular and influential Member of Congress from Florida, is now stop ping at the Astor House. Mr. Cabell has ‘cut’ politics, ad only took the trouble on the 4th inst., to cast his note for the two B's. His bu siness now is in a more profitable line, being the construction of the railroad from Tallahas see to Jacksonville, at the head of navigation of the St. John’s Kivcr. Mr. Cabel has this matter iD charge, and comes north for the pur chase of railroad iron, &c. When completed, as it will be very speedily, this road will open a rich mine of wealth in the cotton and sugar lands of the interior of Florida. —Journal of Commerce.
