Monday Morning, Nov. ill, 1856.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Bain and the River.
There has been n large fall of rain within
the last three days, and the Chattahoochee is
rising lively. It is now in fine navigable order.
The land having now become thoroughly soak
ed, we may consider the river permanently up
for the season.

Death of Col. Bonner.
Our community was pained and startled, ou
Saturday morning, at the announcement of the
death of Col. Seymour It. Bonner, which oc
curred sometime during Friday night.
He was attending to business as usual on
Friday, ate his supper Friday eveuiug and re
tired to bed at his usual time, alone, (his fam
ily being absent,) in apparent good health, and
was found dead in his bed on Saturday morn
iug. The decision of the Jury of Inquest, after
medical examination was, that his death re
sulted from Apoplexy.
Col. Bonner was one of the oldest citizens of
Columbus, and was hold in high esteem by old
and youug, rich and poor, for his mauy good
qualities. For kindness of heart and practical
benevolence, Col. Bonner had few equals. 110
was in his 48th year.
Telegraphic Absquatulation!!
We have as addenda to the article headed
“ Had Belter Leave Here,” in our last issue
of Saturday morning, the following facts:
After we gave the individual, William
Brewer, a capital notice in the Sun, he there
upon made a hasty preparation and a speedy
exit to the soil of Alabama. He was pursued
however, by a scion of an old stock whose
loyalty to tiieSouth has never been doubted.
After a speedy foot race, in which he proved
fastest, for the distance of a mile at least, the
Abolition gent from Connecticut (the land of
freedom shriekers amalgation, wooden nut.
megs and leathern duck eggs) made good his
escape by taking the woods.
The legs of the abolitionist were put at a
2:40 speed and the pursuer had to give up the
foot pursuit near the forks of the Salem and
Crawford roads, llad he have been overtak
en, a merited castigation would certainly
have fallen to his share. For the benefit of
tiie citizens in the Southern States, we ap
pend a description of the aforesaid William
Brewer:
Ho is about twenty-three years old, fair
complexion, prepossessing appearance, dark
eyes, dark brown hair, about five feet eight
inches in height ami light scanty moustache.
tbir Alabama and Georgia exchanges will
please keep a good look out for Mr. William
Brewer, previously of Connecticut, but latter
ly from Columbus, Ga.
Florida Legislature.
This body convenes to-day, and as tho
Democrats have a large majority in each
branch, it requires no prophet to tell how it
will orgauize. The Democratic majority on
joint ballot is 10. It has a United States Sen
ator to elect in place of Mr. Mallory.
Guilty of Manslaughter.
M e are uuder obligations to a prominent
member of tho Bar, for tho following report
of a case, tried in the Superior Court of this
county, ou Saturday last:
SUt. ofO.org!., |, ndktm „ lfor
Andrew, a slave, the pro- j Border.
perty of 11. T. Hall. |
1 he prisoner, Audrew, caught a negro man,
Seaborn, the property of It. C. Shorter, Esq.,
violating tho seventh commandment with his
(Andrew’s) wife. A rencounter then took
place between tho negro men, which resulted
in tho death of Seaborn.
Upon theso facts the Solicitor, consented to
receive a plea of “guilty of manslaughter,”
and the prisoner having so plead, he was re
manded to Jail for sentence. Tho punish
ment inflicted on a slave for manslaughter by r
the laws of this State is whipping at the dis
cretion of the Court, and branded with the let
ter M on the chock, l'had. Oliver, Solicitor
for the State; R. J. Moses, E. W. Moiso and
0. J. Williams, for tho prisoner.
Compliment to Savannah Enegry and Skill.
We have been shown, says tho llepnblicau,
a handsome Silver Cup, presented recently by
the Engineers and Machinists of the South
Carolina llail lload, to William Humpheys, of
Savanuah, os a testimony of their apprecia
tion of his inventive skill and business talents.
The immediate inducement that led to the do
nation was tbe discovery of a process for
cleansing dirty cotton “waste,” by which it is
rendered good as now in an incredibly short
spaee of time. The process is said to be both
cheap and simple, and effecting a great saving
of expense to rail road companies, and other
owners of machinery.
We learn from the Dadeville (Ala.) Banner,
that tbe slave Rich, convicted at the late term
of the Tallapoosa Circuit Cout, of the murder
of his master, Eli T. Pouncey, suffered the ex
treme penalty of the law last Wednesday.
Tbe Rev. Alonzo Church, 1). D., the (listin
tinguished Presidentof the University of Geor
gia, has been presented by the citizens of Ath
ens, with a silver tea service, costing S6OO.
Death of Col. Johnson.
The last Cahawba (Ala.) Gazette, announced
the death of Col, James T. Johnson, of Cam
don, Ala. He died in Cahawba, last Monday,
while in that place in atteudauce of the Court
of Dallas, after a short illness. Col. J. was a
native of Greene county, Ga. He settled in
Camden in 1842, where he pursued the prac
tice of his profession up to tho time of his
death, and occupied an eminent position at
tbe Bar. We knew him well, and we have
known few better men. lie was generous and
magnanimous to a fault.
A Hand Cart Train to Utah.
On the 26th of September, two companies
of overland emigrants arrived at Salt Lake,
hiving performed the entire distance, from the
borders of civilized life, 1,360 miles on foot,
and dragging their personal effects on hand
carts. There were in the train young and old
of both sexes. A Utah paper has the follow
ing in regard to tho trip :
This journey has been performed with less
than the average amount of mortality usually
attending ox trains: and all through some
what fatigued, stepped out with alacrity to the
last, and appeared buoyant and cheerful.
They had often travelled twenty-five and thir
ty miles in a day, and would have come
through in a much shorter time had they not
been obliged to wait for the slow motion of
the oxen attached to the few wagons contain
ing the tents and groceries.
Go it Boots.
In consequence of an advance of thirty per
cent, on leather in Europe, boots and shoes
have also so advanced in price that tiie Buchan
anites have seriously taken into financial con
sideration, whether (after wearing out the
stock they have won from the Fillmorines), it
would not bo best for men of low finances to
fall back on woodeh shoes and sandals or go
barefooted.
For the benefit of those interested in tiie
matter we give as follows the governing New
York prices for those articles indispensably
necessary for the weli-being of the understan
dings of every body. Those who never wear
boots or shoes need not read this

Unfortunate Election Accidents.
Two Fillmore votes were lost iu Columbus,
Geo., says the “Enquirer,” because the voter
forgot to annex tho Electors names to his tick
et! Another Fillmore man voted a receipt!!
\et another voted a blank piece of paper!!!
In Girard, Ala., a man voted the Georgia Elec
toral ticket 1!!! Th balance of tbe Union,
(with slight exceptions) forgot he was a candi
date at all. —Albany I‘atriot,
Unfortunate! grievously unfortunate! If
these are not tangible evidences of Kuow
Nothingism, the word “ignorance” should be
purged from our language.
We truly sympathize with our neighbor of
tho Enquiror, whilst ho is weeping and wail
ing over the sad/uwx pas of these intelligent (?)
supporters of Fillmore. For the preveutiou of
mistakes in the future, would it not bo well for
the “Dark Lantern Party,” to appoint guardi
ans for those Know Nothings, who, have never
been accused of knowing anything ?
Fire in the Capitol.
The Washington Correspondent of tbe Bal
timore Clipper, in a letter dated November 18,
says:
Watchmen early this morning discovered that
Captain Meiggs’ office, inthesouth wing of the
Capitol, was on fire, the smoko escaping
through the crevices of the window frames.
On breaking open the door, the draft of air at
once fanned the charred wood-work into flames,
which were, happily, prevented from injuring
the adjoining rooms. The damage is small;
but probably the injury to the building would
have been great, bad not the conflagration
been timely discovered and promptly suppress
ed. It is said that the fire was oowmunicated
from a hole in a flue to tho rough flooring—the
hotair acting as the “incendiary.”
Acquitted.
James Willis, who stood charged with enter
ing into the store of T. 11. Vandenberg, of this
city, and stealing jewelry, etc., therefrom was
brought up Friday last for trial before the Su
perior Court, and acquitted by the Jury.
From Washington.
Correspondence of tho Charleston .Standard.
Washington, Nov. 17.
The organization of the incoming adminis
tration is the topic of general speculation ;
now, and the quid nuncs are manufacturing :
Cabinets for the President elect sufficiently ra
pid to make the old gentleman’s head swim—
for surely he does not get through reading one j
batch, before a dozen others are thrust upon
him as the very ones who will be called around
him as bis constitutional and confidential ad- j
visers. Some of these Yankee guesses, how- ‘
ever, will prove to be true. No doubt several I
of the new Cabinet have been named. Sena
tors Slidell and Toucey, both of whom are
now here, will bo tendered Cabinet appoint
ments. Mr. Toucey, it will be remembered,
was Attorney General under a former adminis
tration, and the condition of affairs may force
him again into that responsible and honorable
position. This will depend in some measure
upon tiie position to be assigned to lion. How
ell Cobb, of Georgia, who will also be taken
into the Cabinet. Mr. Cobb will be satisfied
with the Treasury Department, but his friends
will insist and contend for tbe premiership.
The lion. J. Glancey Jones, of Pa., who was
lately defeated for the U. S. Senate, has been
for many years the warm personal, political
and confidential friend of Mr. Buchanan, and
it is not surprising that the latter should desire
to have someone near him all the time, to
whom ho could unbosom himself without re
serve; and surely no man north of Mason and
Dixon’s line, could be selected truer to the
Soutli and the whole Union than Mr. Jones.
The Interior Department, I doubt not, will be
Jesse Bright, of Indiana—through whoso no
ble and patriotic exertions mainly, that State
wheeled into the Democratic ranks by a ma
jority which astonished all parties. I think it
■extremely doubtful if Mr. B. will accept, as he
is certain of a re-election to the Senate. So
much fur the new Cabinet.
Various rumors havo been put afloat that
Mr. Buchanan had decloared himself opposed to
the admission of Kansas into the Union as a
Slave State. lam authorized to say that Bu
chanan has made no such declaration on tbe
subject. In all replies to interrogatories pro
prounded, he has contented himself with point
ing to his ‘letter of acceptance. This fact I
state upon the best authority, and you may
rely upon them as precisely so.
Many members of Congress have arrived,
even this early, and arc warmly discussing the
programme for tbe approaching session. The
Pacific Railroad bill will evidently be the great
measure for discussion, and as all parties “in
Convention” stand pledged to its support, we
may confidently anticipate the passage of the
bill in some shape, but in what shape time
alone can disclose. TheJOld King and Walk
er company, of Texan notoriety, but now of
Wall-street, New York, will make a great
struggle for a grant on the Southern route—
but I predict without success. The Company
has long since been repudiated by Texas, and
now since the brokers and speculators of New
York have takeu charge of the “Magnificent
Swindle,” it is not likely that Congress will
foster it.
A largo number of the corrupt and unprin
cipled members of Congress from the North
having been gloriously whipped in the late
elections, they will aim to make the best pos
sible use of their time this winter, and a most
lavish expenditure of the public money may be
anticipated. It will be their last chance at
the Treasury, and right well will they occupy
their time, unless it be possible in some way
to frighten them from their prey. So far as
your correspondent is concerned, I promise to
“cry aloud and spare not”—but to expose
their corruption in terms which will not admit
of misconstruction.
The Secretaries are busily engaged now in
preparing their annual reports. That of the
Secretary of War is now complete and ready
for his Excellency’s transmission to Congress.
The operations in Florida may require somo
little chane or addition. Ivanhoe.
Affairs in Washington.
Washington, Nov. 15.—The Treaty with
Great Britain arrived two weeks ago. It set
tles all questions heretofore existing relative
to Central America, and all other subjects of
dispute between the British and American
Governments excepting the claims by the Hud
son s Bay and l'uget’s Sound Agricultural
companies, relative to alleged rights under the
Treaty of 1846.
The treaty brings to a consummation the
policy of evacuating Central America on the
part of Great Britain, commenced by the
Clayton and Bulwer treaty. 1 have never
neglected a suitable opportunity to declare my
conviction that the conduct of Great Britain
throughout this dispute has been just, gener
ous, and high-minded. There were grave
doubts attaching to the construction of the
treaty of 1860, which have been settled after
fair discussion. Great Britain had undoubt
edly incurred certain obligations towards the
Mosquito Indians, which, as a high minded
and honorable nation, she could not abandon.
For any sudden excesses growing out of the
pardonable zeal of her officers and agents, she
lias promptly apologized, as in the case of the
seizure and temporary detention of the Fro
met heus.
The American Government lias entered up
on an important negotiation with New Grana
da. Our relations with that republic are pre
carious and unsatisfactory. The treaty of
1846, negotiated under the dictation of the
President elect, imposes upon New Granada
obligations which she is not able to fulfil, and
upon us responsibilities of a most unusual
character. Our Government guaranteed the
possession of the Isthmus to the Republic un
der al. contingencies, while upon its part the
safety and despatch of the American mails
were stipulated. This latter engagement in
volves a great deal of expense and embarrass
ment. It. renders necessary the maintenance
of a police force for the sole advantage of this
country, which is entirely beyond the means
of the straightened Government of Granada.
In view of these fhets, and of the enormous
dependent interests, our Government proposes
to obtain an nbsolute cession of a strip of ter
ritory which shall embrace the whole of the
route of the rail road, together with the port
ofAspinwall on this side and a terminus ou
the Pacific. Inspeutor.
The Louisville (Ky.) Democrat Says:—
“Some timo last year W. F. Johnson, of this
oity, proprietor of a lard factory on the lake
shore, Chicago, instituted a suit against the
Illinois Central Railroad for damages. The
track of the road was laid down between the
factor)- and the lake, thus cutting off the com
munication between the lake and the factory,
which communication was said to bo iudispensi
ble. The arbitrators heard evidence and arg
ument i >r several days last week, and ou Thurs
day morning last reudered their decisiou;
awar d: to the plaintiff $61,600.”

A BEAUTIFUL POEM
“ I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh my life.”—Psalm 121.
Up to the radiant throne on high,
.Mid glorious worlds of day,
My spirit lifts the mental eye,
And gives her f:are away.
From thence descends the mighty God.
lie comes my soul to save:
That power which spread the heavens abroad,
Redeems beyond the grave.
The Lord himself who formed the earth.
My sliding foot can keep ;
• The God who gave this being birth
Shall slumber not, nur sleep.
Wlmt though amid death's gloomy vale.
The dying Israel rove,
His guurdian care it cannot fail,
Nor yet Almighty love.
The fiery beams of burning day,
•Shall ne w assault my head;
Much less the moon with mortal ray
Nocturnal vapors shed.
From every ill the Lord can guard,
’Tis Ilis tiie soul to save;
Death meets from Him a just reward,
Destruction to the grave.
My coming into life He knew,
l goat His command;
. And when I bid the World adieu,
I’ll over trust His hand.

HOW TO GET MARRIED.
Marriages seem to be epidemic this fall.
Hymen’s services are in activo requisition,
and his torch has lighted many happy hearts
from the narrow road of single blessedness to
the broad highway of matrimony. Hopes
long deferred have been communicated at last;
hearts long united have been united for age.
It is proper that this beautiful and solemn
ceremony which thus joins together man and
woman, “till death do them part,” should be
attended with a certain degree of etiquette,
regulated by certain rules of behavior, which
are the inevitable result of the state of refine
ment to which society has advanced : and we
take this opportunity to lay before our young
readers, quoted from the columns of the New
York Home Journal, a few remarks upon this
subject which perhaps they will find useful
when their wedding day comes round. First,
after fixing the time and place, and decidiug
upon the number of bridesmaids and brides
men, comes the question of appropriate;
WEDDING CARDS.
The latest fashion is to send but one card,
which is a large one, being three by four and
a-half inches in size, and from very fine card
paper without enamel. A little above tho
centre of the card is placed in conspicuous
letters, the name of the church at which the
marriage is to take place ; and just below it,
and within parenthesis, or between brackets,
is the name and number of the street at which
tbe church is situated; just below the latter
line, is one naming the day and hour of the
ceremony. On the lower corner, at the left of
the card, is placed the names of the affianced,
the name of the gentleman comprising tbe up
per line. Both the card and the, envelope are
white, aud of the same size, the latter being
like the former, without glossy polish or en
amel.
In case they do not intend receiving, they
send cards only to their relatives and near
friends. But in case of receiving immediately
after the wedding, it is proper to enclose two
cards, the one like the first described, and the
containing the address of the bride’s
mother, or of the place at which the reception
is to be given, indicating the time also upon
the same card. But in case the reception is
to take place after bridal tour, then three cards
are enclosed in one envelope—one containing
the name of the bride’s mother (at whose
house it is most proper to receive) as the up
per line ; below which state “At Home,” and
name the date and hour as the third line; and
below, at the right, near the bottom of tbe
card, give the name of the street and number
of dweling. The other two are the visiting
cards of the bride and bridgroom.
If the marriage ceremony is not to be sol
emnized at the church, the wedding should
take place at the house of the mother of the
bride ; in which case two or three cards will
be enclosed, the mother's being the same as
abovo described, and the bride and bride
groom’s will contain merely their names. But
upon the card inviting to the reception, in
stead of Miss being prefixed to the bride’s
name, it will be that of Mrs. to her newly
chosen one.
The following is a very good description of
an appropriate—
bride’s dress.
The dress of white taffetas, is cut high and
surmounted with a narrow lace collar ; and
below it, half high, it is encircled with a white
lace berthe. The body closes up the front
with pearl buttons of the watch shape, and
just above the waist, on the stomacher, is
placed a bouquet of orange flowers and foli
age-
Tbe skirt, in demi-train is covered en tablier
—that is, leaving an apron form visible of the
silk dress in front. The sleeves are composed
of two ruffles, which extend half way to the
elbow, and are caught up at the inside by del
icate silver cords and tassels. From under
the short sleeve proceeds a lace one, which is
formed into two or three puffs, extending to
the white kid or white silk gloves. Pearl and
cameo bracelets. White silk stockings and
shoes.
The hair is divided into three tresses, as de
scribed in the Home Journal of October 11,
and the long white lace veil is gathered in tho
centre, and passes over the head to each side,
just above the back knot of the hair, so as to
disclose the hair above tho neck ; and at each
side of the knot, and over the ears, a each
peiyne is formed by plaiting the veil, and orna
moutiug it with orange-buds, flowers, aud fo
liage. but there is no ornament in tho front
tresses, which form two rich rouleaux.
Mr. G. W. Hervey, in his work ou “man
ners and habits,” gives the following formula
for proceeding—
AFTER ARRIVING AT CHURCH.
“The marriage train advances towards tho
altar in tbe following order:—The lady gives
her hand to her father, or to one who repre
sents him ; then follow the gentleman and his
mother, or one who represents her; next the
bridemaid and bridemau, followed by the mem
bers of the two families in couples. The oth
er and more common custom is for tho groom
to receive the bride when she lights from her
carriage in the street. As the train advances
towards the altar, tho company present should
respectfully arise from tbeir seats, aud staud
till the relations are seated in the front pews.
The latter should arrange themselves in the
same order as acquaintance. The couple either
stand or kneel at tho altar, according to the
custom of the church in which they arc mar
ried; the bridemaid at the left of the lady,
aud the brideman at the right of the gentle
man. The bridegroom stands or kneels at tbe
right of tbe bride, and bears her right hand
upou his. Here the ceremonies vary accord
ing to the usages of different denominations.
Alter the benediction or tho prayer, as the or
der is, die married couple usually salute the
assembly and received the compliments of
their friends. Immediately after tbe solemni.
zation it is customary for the parents aiuTmL f ]
relations to salute the married lady; but I
salutations are improper in a church
When returning from church the husbaud eiv
his hand to his wife.”

Preserve Your Hair.
To those who are not aware that each parti
cular hair on the head is a hollow tube,
through which the fluids circulate which con
vey nourishment, and impart its peculiar shade
of color, it seems incomprehensible how resto
ratives can produce a renovating influence.
While preparations of this nature were entrus
ted to quacks, and ignorant manufacturers of
perfumes and cosmetics, much and irreparable
mischief was inflicted on many a credulous
and deluded sufferer. But when scientific
men like Professor Wood, bring the lights of
physiology and chomistry to bear upon the
treatment of such specialities, the result is the
complete success which the certificates of thou
sands relieved sufferers hear testimony to.
