LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
New Advertisement I
The card of au old merchaut and fellow citi
zen, Mr. J. H. Merry, will be found in this days’
issue. He, having been about this locality
ever since the Indians were hung, it is unne
cessary to say more than he may be classed as
letter A, No. 1, for uprightness and fair deal
ing.
Hamden’s Express.
In another column will be found the card of
Oapt. S. H. Hill, the able, energetic and faith
ful agent of the above Express in this city.
He is perfectly couversant with all the du
ties pertaining to this post, and we have no
hesitancy, whilst this agency is under his su
perintendence, to recommend it to the favora
ble consideration and generous patronage of
all persons who desire to have things well
done and quickly.
The City Criminal Court.
This unnecessary body commenced its ses
sions yesterday. We counted at the time of
our attendance, twenty-six souls, Judge, Jury,
Solicitor, Clerk, Sheriffs, Bailiff's, Plaintiff's,
Defendants, Lookers on, all told.
If there is any necessity for this Court, it
Was not evidenced at any rate by the atten
dance on yosterdny.
We would prefer that the money paid out
for the maintainance of this Court was invest
ed in introducing water into the city. Our
opiuions are entertained by luuny —Very many
of our citizens.
Launch of the Steamer Wave.
This stenuier, wo are informed by 11. T.
Hall, Esq., will bo launched, weather permit

Successful launch, and success attend the
Steamer Wave. •
The River and the Steamboats.
Up to ten o’clock a. m. yesterday there
was about twenty foet water in the channel,
and had commenced falling.
The steamer Cusseta, Capt. Stubblefield,
arrived here on Saturday morning last, ten
days out from Apalachicola, with about one
thousand barrels of assorted merchandise for
this city. She loaves to-day for Apalachicola.
We learn that the steamer Hen Franklin,
(.’apt. Berry, left Eufoula on Saturday last for
Apalachicola.
Alabama Steamers.
We call the attention of the traveling public
to the advertisement in another column, of
(’ox, Bruinard & Cos., of their Daily Line of
excellent steamers between Montgomery and
Mobile. These Boats are all first class steam
ers, and aro in chargo of accommodating and
gentlemanly commanders.
Steamboat Linden Sunk.
The Shreveport Gazette of the Bth instant
says the steamer Linden struck a snag on Sun
day morning, at Hickory Point, and sunk.
The was loaded with cotton from Hurricane
Bluff's. The boat supposed to be a total loss.
The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate of the 29th
iustant, says pork hogs have been selling at
the market house at five cents per pound. We
have heard of pork engagements, for country
raised hogs, at 4$ cents.
The Louisvillo (Ky.) Courier notices con
tracts for Pork hogs there at from 4 to 4] cts.
gross. The whole country is so full of Bacon,
and pork speculators lost so much last season,
that they are backward about pitching into
the trade this season.
The Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate, of the 20th
instant, says the cotton crop in that county is
nearly picked out. The season for picking has
has been reuiarkaby fine, and the staple has
been gathered in an unsually cloan condi
tion. The crop this year is not more than
two-thirds of an average one.
The same paper makes the following sensi
ble suggestions to the planters of that section,
which are equally applicable to ours. It says:
Now that the planters have their cotton
measurably out of the way, they should plow
up their whole plantations. Turn everything
under so that it may rot, aud expose the soil
to the action of the winter freezes. Subsoil
ing, too, should bo resorted to as extensive as
possible. The more and deeper the land is
turned up in the fall and winter, the better it
will produce a crop next year. It will be
more easily cultivated, and stand Ihe sum
mer’s drouth bettor. As fast as tho cotton
crop is out of the way, let the plows be put at
work, aud the land broken up at least ten
inches deep, aud the next year’s crop is half
made. *
Federal Convictions.
We learn from the Huntsville (Ala.) Advo
cate that at the recent session of the Federal
Court at Huntsville, Thomas fashions of Ma
rion county, was sentenced to the Penitentiary
for ten, and John Monthomery for fifteen
years—both for robbing tho mails—the former
as postmaster at Toll Gate, and the latter as
mail rider from Blountsvillo to Whitesburg.
fashions is quite an old man, about CO years
of age, aud Monthomery is a youth, not more
than eighteen years old.

The Purchase of the Isthmus.
Wo are glad to learn that negotiations are in
progress betweeu the Administration at Wash
ington aud the Government of New Granada
for tho purchase of the Isthmus, or so much
of it as will guarantee to our citizens a safe
transit to California. Tho outrages committed
some months ago at Panama, for which in the
very nature of things no adequate reparation
cau ever be offered, may at any time be re
peated if the line of the railway from wharf
to wharf is not placed under the protection of
our flag, and though a repetition might fairly
justify us in) wresting the territory from the
semi-barbarous control of New Granada, wo
should yet greatly prefer that its acquisition
were made by a fair and honorable purchase.
Once in our hands, the Isthmus would soon be
rid of the desperate villains who now infest it,
aud the route to tho Pacific be reudered as se
cure as any other line of travel in the limits
the United States.
Rain! Rain !
Up to the time lust night-when we went to
press the windows of the heavens continued
open and the wuters have descended upon us
in quantities to suit our wants. Really it re
minds one of the days of the deluge. The
great unwashed will have no cause to murmur
for the want of a cleansing element. We
would advise those of our Fillmore friends who
are compelled to wear old leaky boots on ac
count of their losing so many pairs on the elec
tion, to keep in doors until the wuters have aba
ted. Meanwhile our steamboat friends will
enjoy tho result of the heavy rains falling in
this section.
Progress and Prospect of the Mobile and
Ohio Rail Road.
A person unacquainted witli the progress
and prospects of this enterprise would be led,
by disparaging reports in circulation, to be
lieve that the work had been drugging along
for many years without any good resulting
from it. Like all pvblic rumors they greatly
exaggerate, and are consequently not to be
depended on. A locomotive getting injured
by running off the track, is considered tanta
mount to a loss of SB,OOO or SIO,OOO, —when
the fact is that the cost of repairing in no in
stance, yet has amounted to SIOOO. A few
months’delay in the progress of track laying
is also looked upon by many as indicative of
the bankruptcy of the company, and hopeless
failure of the undertaking. So far from this
boing the case the condition and prospects of
the road were never better. An investigation
of its past history will prove this.
When the work was commenced it was pre
dicted by some that it would never be com
pleted, and others contended that ten years
would puss before cars woul i run from the
gulf to the Mississippi. With a distance of
over 500 miles to pass over, the first 200 of
which was known to be through a compara
tively poor, pine woods country, we do not
wonder that the work seemed beset with in
surmountable difficulties. Yet the attempt
was made, and, notwithstanding the railroad
panic of 1853, which destroyed credit in even
tho best securities, and also the losses which
have been occasioned by freshets, fire and
smashing up of locomotives aud cars, the en
terprise has gradually progressed.
The progress of the road over the first 200
miles, and the increase of earnings for the last
three years have been as follow's:
Tlie cars reached Citronelle, a distance of 33
miles from Mobile, in July’ 1852, beyond which
point they did not run till February, 1854.
On the 31st December of that year the termi
nus of the road was at Shubuta Station, a dis
tance of 70 miles from Mobile: on the 31st of
the following December at Lauderdale Springs,
158 miles, and on the 4th of July of the pres
ent year at Macon, 200 miles. This last nam
ed place has been the terminus for the past
five mouths ; but that there is now a much
better prospect of its continuance than there
was at the expiration of five months after its
arrival at Citronelle, no sensible person can
doubt. The poorest portion of the route has
been passed over, and all that is now required
to complete the road through to Columbus,
Ky., is the iron necessary for 130 miles. But
the most encouraging feature is tho profitable
business which is now being done by the road,
aud the certainty that the completion of every
additional mile will greatly swell the receipts.
We cannot doubt this when we contemplate
the increase of earnings which has resulted
from tho advancement of the road since 1854;
aud at the same time consider that only the
confines of a rich belt of country has yet been
reached:
The earnings for the year ending
Feb. 1854, when the cars were
at Citronelle and run over thirty
three miles of road were $42,157 81
For ten monihs ending Dec. 31,
1854, when the cars had reach
ed Shubuta, a distance of seven
ty miles from Mobile, tho earn
ings were $59,307 59
For twelve months ending Dec. 31,
1855, when the cars had reach
ed Lauderdale Springs, a dis
tance from Mobile of one hun
dred and fifty three ‘miles, the
earnings were $200,082 95
For this year we have returns of the earn
ings of the road during the months of Septem
ber and October only, which are as follows :
September—from freight $35,108 88
September—from passengers 7,254 00
Total $42,422 88
October—from freight $02,819 00
October—from passengers 9,248 35
Total $72,002 41
Grand Total $114,485 29
Earnings for September, 1855 $9,584 59
Earnings for October, 1855 24,209 40
Total $33,744 05
Earnings for September, 1854 $4,954 70
Earnings for October, 1854 5,813 05
Total $10,707 75

A Russian Rail Road.
Nicholas the First of Russia had quite an
original way of transacting business. He sent
one day for bis engineers, and gave them eight
days to bring him the route of a railroad to con
nect St. Petersburgh with Moscow. At the
end of the allotted time the plan was prepared.
“What,” said he, looking nt it—“ What is
all this—this serpentine track ? You must
have misunderstood me.”
“Sire,” said the spokesman, “we have draf
ted the shortest route which would embrace on
the line the leading towns and villages.”
“Give me a peucil and rule,” lie said, and
lie struck a boe line from one city to the other.
“Here—you understand me?”
“But, sire, you leave the large towns entire
ly out of sight.”
“That is their affair; let them come within
sight.”
And so the road was built as straight as
an I.
New Counterfeit.
We are indebted to Mr. J. R. Crew, Ticket
Agent for tho several Railroads at this place,
for a description of anew counterfeit Ten Dol
lar Bill on the Bank of Georgetown. It is
evidently anew counterfeit from the old plate
with some very important improvements, and
is well calculated to deceive the unsuspecting.
The old counterfeits of this denomination, are
well executed, but tho filling is badly done,
and they are signed D. L. McKay, Cashier,
and J. W. Coachman, President. The new
one is well filled in a business hand, signed R.
J. Fraser, Cashier, aud J. G. Henning, Presi
dent, and dated March Ist, 1854. They have
red backs same as genuine. It will require
the closest >crutiny to detect them, and we
would advise our citizens to keep a look out.

Buchanan’s Election in Havana.
The Havana correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier, in a letter dated November 12tli,
writes:—
Eureka! We have it! So the election of Jas.
Buchanan as our next President is no longer
a matter of doubt. Living as I do here in a
foreign land, with all the information 1 have
been enabled to obtain, yet 1 confess I did en
tertain some dubious feelings upon the sub
ject ; but yesterday that glorious little schoon
er, the W. D. Miller, arrived in the usually
short passage of three days from New Orleans,
bringing us the happy intelligence. Never
will i again utter a syllable against “Old Bo
reas:” let him blow ever so fiercely after he
has so kindly favored the W. D. Miller upon
this occasion. Our young Creole friqnds, as
soon as they received the intelligence from the
Captain of the port’s boat, on its return from
the “visit” to the schooner, flew from house
to house amongst our friends spreading the
intelligence. The dear delightful girls fairly'-
clapped their hands with joy upon the occa
sion. “But,” said a fair young Miss of about
sixteen summers to mo, “is it not possible
that these electors, whom jou tell us have
been chosen and who are pledged to vote for
Buchanan, may change their minds before
the day of election, sir?” I could soarcely
avoid being so rude as to smile at the ques
tion. “No Miss,” I replied, “it would beas
impossible for them to do so as it would be for
any man to look upon your fair face and not
be struck with admiration.” “You flatter
er,” said she, and with a look of rejiroach left
the apartment; soon though did she return,
and by her smiles assure me I had not. com
mitted an unpardonable ottence. Tlius it was
in every house I visited yesterday, and if Mr.
Buchanan does not fulfil the expectations of
these fair Creoles, thenyou will have to obtain
another correspondent, for I cannot by any
chance dwell amongst them to see their “ex
pectations fail.”
The U. S. Court and State Rights.
The New York Express calls attention to a
case of much interest in the United States Su
preme Court. Paties out of Ohio, says the
Express, sought in the United States Court to
enjoin the Directors of the Commercial Branch
Bank of Ohio from paying a State tax, deem
ed illegal. The plea was no United States ju
risdiction, but a majority of the Court sus
tained the appeal.
Justice Wayne, of Georgia, energetically
sustained the jurisdiction of the Court with
Roger B. Taney, of Maryland, the Chief Jus
tice ot the Court, John McLean, of Ohio,
Samuel Nelson, of New fork, Robert C. Grier,
of Pennsylvania, and Benj. R. Curtis, of Mas
sachusetts, Associate Justices. Justices Cat
ron, of Tennessee, Campbell, of Alabama, and
Daniel, of Virginia, diagreed.
The principle involved is oue of great im
portance, viz: that the United States Court,
under the Constitution, has a right to inquire
into and interfere with the local tax legisla
tion of a State.
Important to Iron Workers.
Mr. Salter, of Newark, has patened an in
vention which promises to be of much impor
tance. It relates to the making of malleable
iron direct from the ore, and consist in expel
ling the impurities of the ore by exposing it
to a moderate heat during the first stages of
the process, and then gradually increasing
the temperature. Agitation is kept up through
out the operation. The whole process is ef
fected by one tire, aud by single furnace of pe
culiar construction, it is designed to enable
the smelter to arrest the reducing process at
the point where the deoxydization of the ore
has been completted, and before an injurious
excess or carbon, has been absorbed by the
metal. By this method but one process is re
quired, and wrought iron is thus produced, it
is stated, at the cost of pig iron. The latter
is worth only $35 per ton; the wroght iron
from SBS to SIOO. Should the anticipations
of the inventor be realized, his invention will
work a revolution in the iron business through
out the world.
On Thursday morning last, while a party of
young gentlemen were gunning, in the neigh
borhood of Dr. Screven’s plantation, some
thvee or four miles from the city aud near the
Thunderbolt road, one of them, Mr. W. H. Co
burn, was accidently shot, in the right anklo
joint, by another of the party. The muzzle of
the gun being but a few feet from him, the
whole charge took effect, shattering and splin
tering the bone to such an extent that ampu
tation, a few inches above the ankle joint,
was deemed advisable by his physicians, which
operation was performed at his fathej’s resi
dence, in town, the same afternoon, by Dr. P.
M. lvollock, assisted by Drs. Fish and Bulloch,
the patient being under the influence of leth
eon daring the operations, first of removing
the fragments of the shattered bone, and then
of the ampution. So successful was its per
formance that no evidence of concious pain
was manifested; oil the contrary, be was not
aware, when the influence passed off, that the
foot had been taken from him. He is well
taken care of, and is as comfortable as the na
ture of the case cun admit of .--Savannah Re

We perceive that the stockholders to the
Tennessee aud Alabama Central Rail Road are
called to meet in Athens on the 22d, to organ
ize, so that operations upon it may soon be
commenced. This is an important public en
terprise. It is to unite with the Memphis and
Charleston road at or near Decatur, and
thence through Limestone, via, Athens, Pulas
ki, Columbia, &c., to Nashville. The road will
soon be completed from Nashville to Colum
bia. The State aid, with the individual sub
scriptions, ensure its speedy completion in
Tennesseo to the Alabama line. The requisite
amount of stock has been secured to it iu
Limestone and Morgan to build the part of the
road in this State. Without desiring to med
dle in the local disputes of others, we yet as
a public journalist, congratulate the public at
large and the people at Limestone and of Mor
gan in particular, upon the bright prospects
which the now assured construction of this
road opens up to them in the future. Tra
versing Limestone aud terminating at Decatur,
it cannot fail of ultimately greatly promoting
the best interests of both counties. The rond,
too, will prove a good feeder to the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad, and will give all
North Alabama the most direct route to Nash
ville. —Huntsville Ala. Advocate.
